Cram time.

Procrastination really keeps you focused because you know it's due.  But, two midterms tomorrow is just making me feel sleepy.  I cannot afford to sleep right now!  At least what I'm studying is fairly interesting.  Take the Baroque art, Spanish culture.  Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez, c.  1655 AD.

Linear Perspective, aerial perspective.
Mulitple figures establishing eye contact.
Ideal babysitters for children who were apparently dwarfs.
Painting in the back is believed to be a mirror in the back (influenced by John Van Eyck)
Supposed to be a paradox painting.

Look how cute and puffy her dress is!  What a princess!

Are you seeing this through the eyes of the kind or queen or are you just looking into a mirror?

To finish off this post with a nice Medium-rare steak topped with swiss cheese, tomatoes, sauteed onions, broccoli and shimeji mushrooms! (Recipe will be posted later)
