Google Arts and Culture




 This page is great to search for different paintings or artists and see the paintings in detail. If you´re an artist or you´re interesting in the arts, in general, you can use and enjoy this website.

Google arts is an extension of google related to the arts (obviously). If you want to know more about artistic techniques, important characters, places, artistic movements, color, or a museum in 360° you can use the section “explorer” and navigate until you find something you like or catch your eye.

It also has games to play alone or with friends. Games like, how much you know about x topic, or where is x character, play with music or do test, too. I don't use a lot of this section, but it looks funny.

Oh, this website has a map where you can search the museums closer to you to do a visit.

All this is great, yeah, sounds exciting, but my favorite section is “favorites” because with this, I can save all the themes, paintings, and characters what I want to watch later. It´s cool because I can zoom the image until I see the brushstroke of the artist and, thanks to that, I can study to replicate the way in which the artist made his artworks. This is the reason why I like it.

Unfortunately, I just visit this page 2 or 3 times in one month, but I recommend it anyway. Maybe someone can take advantage of google arts better than me.

A R T


I’m interested in art since I was a little kid. When I was 6 years old, I painted a lot with my color’s pencils and my gouaches, all the time I wanted paint on my block or do something artistic. I never stopped painting, but I thought was better if I don´t study arts because I didn´t like to study history of arts, and my cousin told me “You need study a lot of history to do a great artist”.

In any case, is for the practice that I’m good at observing and copying what I see to paint it. I think that’s my best artistic abilities because I can “translate” what I see to do a painting very similar and I love do this. 

I like paint in oil, watercolor or gouaches, the artists landscapes and their themes in their paintings seems beautiful for me. I like the “bodegones” too, but I’m not sure why I like it. With this type of art, I feel something special, you know? Like a connection what I can’t express in words. Is the type of art what I enjoy more. And my favorite artist or painter is Leonardo da Vinci for what he represents and his genius in the arts. Maybe, I love his character more that his paintings because we don´t know all about him and his personality and his paintings aren’t really “wow” neither for me, but something about he is special, the same way what the paint itself.
