workshop

I had an workshop. We discussed about Mona Lisa. He showed us Mona Lisa painting on screen and asked what you think it as one word. Students answered, Mona Lisa, painting, art, oil painting...
I answered "artwork". He said, it's just an screen. He was talking about the digital era that people can research and see many information including art work. We discussed the disadvantages and benefits of visiting the gallery and researching on the Internet. 

We can search and know any information on internet, even if we can't go there. Also, nowadays, people have a lot of good camera, so we can see the pictures of good quality on screen. 

I think that it is also a good point to be able to see the pictures in detail and in large. But the factor which is a good part can be a bad part. On screen, I can't feel exactly because we can't know their size or texture. In case of Mona Lisa, many people know about that, but can't imagine their size. Actually, I saw Mona Lisa in Louvre museum and it was so small. I expected it's not small, but it was not. He recommended to visit exhibition and feel it. 

This workshop is the time that why we need to visit gallery. and I thought about the worthy of artwork and the reason of exhibition.
