On the 20 th november 2018 we went to the national gallery to see the actual painting of the men at the dock so we can see the texture and what type of paint george bellows used .The lady ,who guided us,was also talking about why George bellows used a very thick texture. The coach ride was very long and when we actually got there I was alredy tired as I didn’t sleep in the coach.
The most interesting painting we looked at is the men at the docks because we really got to see the exact texture and the way george bellows made it stand out than all, the other paintings inside the gallery .Another interesting painting was a really nice painting of a winter scene with two people standing together probaly talking . The painting was made with the same texture used in the men at the docks to make it look 3d .
The men at the dock was very diffrent than I expected it to be because it was much bigger and more bold than the printed painting on our sheets in art and really on any sheet we have or will have .when I first saw the men at the the dock I was really shocked to see thet it was so massive compared to the printed ones . The mysterious man in the corner of the men at the docks was very sad and I think he has been badly treated by the rest of the men in the painting unloading the cargo the titanic-sized ship .
My favourite part of the trip was when a really nice lady was explaining about the texture and the way George bellows painted the men at the docks . Then the lady was talking she also explained when then the men at the docks was made and a few things about George bellows . Because the lady lady talked alot we all really wanted our lunch .
