In my art history class a couple of weeks ago, we were learning about Renaissance art, and one day in particular was dedicated to the Venetian Renaissance and the Veneto-Byzantine styles of San Marco Basilica. Bright and early on a Friday morning, my weekly section class discussed San Marco, Titian's masterpieces, and the innovation of oil painting. It brought back fond memories of this past summer as I strolled through the narrow alleys and abundant canals throughout Venice. I personally connected a lot to the subjects in art history class, mostly because I either had a chance to see some of these artworks in person, or I just had a fondness for Baroque or Classic art in general. Anyways, I shared a few of my personal insights on Venice and the basilica. It felt kind of nice to speak about my travels, mostly because they are some of the most memorable places I've ever been to.
As much as I love learning from books and classes, it's just simply the icing on the cake to be able to see some places that I had always dreamed about in travel books and atlas. I still have the whole world to see, and one corner of the world means very little in the scheme of things. But I have learned a lot when I travel to different places, not only outside of the United States but within country borders as well. I am grateful that I have been to several places, and I cannot wait until I can go even farther and around the world.
