I finished my paper on Goya today and I emailed it about 30 minutes ago, it was due tomorrow. I don't like cutting it that fine. I like it finished the week before and spend a few days tweaking it and then send it the Wednesday before the Friday due date... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? Today I didn't care! I was just grateful that I got it done. Not my best paper, but I think I did ok. We will see! So I've scored a day off tomorrow and rather than spending it working on my next essay, I'm running away from home for the day and pretending I have NO responsibilities.
So, next essay question:
Choose a Romantic artist whose work interests you and examine his/her art in the wider social and historical context of the period. Refer to the work on one of his/her contemporaries as a point of comparison and contrast.
Eugene Delacroix???????
John Constable?????????
I just don't know, my brain is still filled with Goya!
Have a great day friends. I hope to have some artwork and poetry up for you soon.

After focusing on Goya, I can imagine it is difficult to shift to a romantic painter. May I recomend JMW Turner as an option. His intense use of colour may help displace Goya's intense subjects in your mind's eye... but never from your heart.
who did you pick? who did you pick?! i know, i was suppose to be your helper....
Thats ok hon, I know you're busy.. I took Internet Art Studio's advice and I"m doing JMW Turner and I'm either comparing him to Ingres or Delacrroix...a lot of reading involved because I don't konw much about this period! Struggling with this unit I have to say
bummer you're struggling a bit with it. I was not a HUGE fan of that era of art when i was studying it either. Delacroix was cool, no?
we need to find a video - stat...
LOOK!
I found one :)
