Quote by E.A. Bucchianeri: “Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone...”
The word beauty is a big subject as it goes with individual perspective and choice. What Mr A say is too beautiful maybe ugly in the eye of Mr B. Beauty has to do with experiences, biases, culture, social and environmental factors. For example in marriage, I may love a man who is strong, tall and huge and another woman will say, I love quite and humble person.
Now let's talk about beauty in art. Art is a creative work which only the maker will convince the idea and bring it to reality. While he was creating it, it may be ugly to some people and beautiful to some too. Some art are so ugly and terrifying but still you will see someone that will say, this is the type I love so much. It is the same in fashion and architecture.
This week's topic:
Beauty - What is your concept of “beautiful” in general (art, fashion, architecture, etc.)? Do you think that as a society we have created a standard for what is considered “beautiful” or is it something that depends on each person’s tastes? Do you believe that there are things that could be considered “beautiful” but are not recognized as such?
Concept of beauty in general art
The element of Beauty in Art involves,
Proportion, balance, and Harmony.Emotional Resonance which
is the ability to evoke feeling. The ability to love and practice what we need now.
Are their things that should be considered beautiful but are not recognized?
There are so many things that are beautiful but not recognized like scars, freckles and other things that make a person unique. Another beauty that is not recognized is disability and diversity. People with disabilities has a lot of experience to share from their different background. What about the sunflower,snowflake, beautiful things from rural areas. We overlook our daily activities like cooking, washing and eating.
Has society created something beautiful or does it depend on each person?
The society has created something beautiful like beautiful music,songs, novels,art, architecture but still the beauty of each one depends on the eye of beholder. Some music that interest you may not interest another person. In all there so many of the things I mentioned above that the society love in general. I noticed that sometimes a particular music will play in a wedding, just few will dance it and another one is played, almost everyone in there will dance, some will even shout,clap while singing and dancing. That is a clear evidence that the society has created something so beautiful.
