The blog "William Blake's Art and Poetry" by Taylor Rice, Kevin Kaufman, Timmy Nguyen, and Hailey Milne, analyses many of William Blake’s Art and Poetry.
I like that the blog is very simple, and easy to navigate. The background is not distracting and the light texts boxes make the text easy to read. My favorite part about this blog is all of the unique paintings and videos. I learned from this blog that William Blake paints. I find that so interesting and special that he has multiple talents. The painting “The Ancient of Days,” strikes my attention due to the dark colors. The painting is a mystery to me, and it makes me think. I like when something is deep and makes me have to think about the meaning of it. After looking at the painting for a while I conclude that this man is somewhat of a god, and is standing on the sun. The man seems to be very powerful and has control of many things. The thing that struck me was this painting, and I ended up researching what “The Ancient of Days,” meant. I found out that he is a god in the old testament. This man is commonly distinguished by his long white beard. Which usually leads people to think he is old, but his age is never mentioned in the old testament.
I believe this blog is important because it gives a lot of good information to someone who knows nothing about William Blake. It provides you details about many of Blake’s poems and helps you understand them. This blog also shows you art created by William Blake himself. I think this blog is also a good one to see if you do know a little bit about Blake. I did know about William Blake but it still gave me more information about him and I learned about “The Ancient of Days,” painting, which is really cool to me. This blog teaches readers about some of William Blake’s poems, such as; “The Tyger,” “The fly,” “The Schoolboy,” and more. I enjoyed learning about William Blake through this blog.
