Mrs. Orellana's Blog: The Getty

Our trip to the Getty was a memorable one. My favorite part was when most of you students crowded around Monet's The Portal of Rouen Cathedral in Morning Light. I loved that because you all knew what the painting was without me reminding you! You remembered what we had learned in class and were fascinated by seeing the painting face to face. I love that painting because it is so applicable to our lives. When you are two feet from the painting, you can't really see what the painting is or what is going on. But when you step back and look at it from a further distance, you can clearly see what the artist painted. Sometimes it is so hard to understand what God is doing in the moment that it happens. But as we grow older and look back, or in Heaven when we see all things clearly, then it will all make sense. Here are a few memories from the trip.
