...When you first hear the word “beauty”, what do you think of? Celebrities dressed in expensive red-carpet gowns that you hopelessly admire from afar? An art gallery filled with sculptures and paintings much too complex for you to interpret? Perhaps a simplistic landscape viewing of the breathtaking natural world? Whatever it may be, the definition of beauty has always depended on the person you are asking and the time period they are in. Clearly, certain things that may have been considered beautiful at one time, may not be deemed as beautiful in today's society. This is why I believe beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. For the third marking period, I finally decided to read a book on art. After going through the chapter on the renaissance...

...The Integumentary System (skin) covers the whole body. It is water proof and is used for a mechanical barrier. The skin has many facets and functions. Therefore the functions are protection, temperature maintenance, and storage of nutrients, sensory receptors, excretion, and secretion. This entails the 3 main layers that are epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis or subcutaneous (superficial fascia) to regulate all functions inside the human body. There are a few ways the functions and facets turn the abnormal conditions to normal conditions in the human body by maintaining homeostasis. The facets use the best in beauty; which includes the hair and nails. The other name for nails is the accessory structures of the skin. Therefore it is what makes...

...Beauty is a fundamental part of humans’ longing. Humans crave that which is beautiful, but as Reeves addresses throughout the book, this beauty can only find its origin in the Trinity. Apart from God, beauty would not exist. It is the beauty seen in the Triune relationship, from which all beauty is informed. As Reeves runs the understanding of beauty throughout his discussion readers are able to clearly see that beauty in the world ought to point us to the beauty in God. We desire beauty because we were created to desire God, our desires have been corrupted and we seek all sorts of false beauty, when in reality, it is the beauty of our Triune God that we desire so deeply. In the excerpt focusing on Thomas Chalmers this quote gets right at this point: “We cannot choose what we love, but always love what seems desirable to us.”...

...One of the clearest examples of the emotion that was poured into the subject matter of Hellenistic sculpture is the Ludovisi Gaul Killing Himself and His Wife. This is a work of art that is overflowing with emotion and expression. The sorrow on the face of the female figure is palpable, her pose indicates complete abandon, and fear as she falls to her own death. The male sculpture looks defiant as he plunges a dagger into his own chest. The depiction is extremely lifelike and is noted for its extreme attention to anatomical detail and accuracy. The expressions on both faces embody the changes that occurred in Greek art, taking it from the completely unimportant archaic smile of the archaic period, to the essential gravity of the emotions in...

...nature in all her abundance and variety in the future. The beauty of nature has been extolled in the works of poets and artists. When Wordsworth describes the daffodils dancing in the breeze or when our eyes alight on a painting by William Turner, our hearts are filled with an indescribable emotion. If a mere representation can move us so much, imagine the power of the real thing. If you have seen Massachusetts during fall season when the leaves turn yellow, ochre, and red, you can never forget it in your lifetime. Nature has myriad facets. It keeps changing from season to season, from minute to minute. If the sea was a bright blue in the morning, by noon it has become an emerald green hue. The colors of the sky keep changing throughout the day, from pale pink at dawn to a dazzling blue at mid morning and a bright orange by sunset and purple by twilight. Nature reflects our moods. When the sun shines, we feel happy and hopeful. When the skies cloud over and the rain falls in torrents, we feel pensive. A balmy moonlit night can awaken the lover in us. Such is the transformative power of nature’s beauty. In the movie, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, the cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal Lector who is in a maximum security prison tells Clarice Starling, the FBI officer, that he wants to be transferred to a facility where he can have a room with a window that looks out on the sky. Even evil surrenders before the beauty of nature. It has been observed that patients in hospital...

...the concept in flattering manner to develop a virtual and unreal understanding, so that the target audience can be lured into believing in the concept. In his attack on the rhetoric as unreal art, Socrates uses cosmetics as an example of rhetoric that depicts flattery. He argues that cosmetics take the form of gymnastics, and that it works in a deceitful manner through the help of lines, colors, enamels, and garments in order to create a false beauty that tends to neglect the true beauty and fitness, which is provided by the gymnastic. Therefore, he refers to cosmetics as the art of gymnastic cookery, which is the art of medicine sophistry, legislation rhetoric, or jurisprudence (Harold 4). If the body presides over itself without the guidance of the soul, then cookery, health, and medicine will mingle in indiscriminate. Socrates tends to argue that cosmetics are used to create a beauty that does not last. It is not inherent beauty of the human being, but a flattery meant to convince people that cosmetics make people to achieve beauty. In the Gorgias and Socrates discussion with other scholars, the superior nature of...

...“Phenomenal Woman” uses various literary effects to express to women that it isn’t genetic beauty which is important; rather, it is inner beauty and confidence which makes a woman beautiful and the poem’s repetition of the phrase “phenomenal woman” creates an effect in the poem which emphasizes what it means to be a woman. The first stanza in “Phenomenal Woman” begins with Angelou expressing the curiosity which “pretty women” (1) have with her “beauty.” Pretty women don’t see physical beauty in her, yet they see another type of beauty portrayed and question her as to what it may be. Angelou tells them, “It’s in the reach of my arms/the span of my hips/the stride of my step/the curl of my lip/I’m a woman/phenomenally/phenomenal woman” (6-12). Through the use of metaphorical phrases, the author is expressing to the women that she has confidence and it is displayed in how she expresses her femininity. For example, in the way she walks and talks. These things make her beautiful, or a phenomenal woman. In the second stanza of the poem, Angelou depicts herself walking into a room full of men, who all bow to her upon her entrance. “I walk into a room/just as cool as you please/and to a man/the fellows stand or/fall down to their knees/then they swarm around me/a hive of honey bees” (14-20). Angelou describes how when she enters a room, she does not have to do much to show her beauty, yet it is expressed in her confidence and her overall...

...demise. Fitzgerald argues through this text not that the American dream is dead, but that the American dream is not something that ends well. He suggests that American dream has negative connotations like materialism and the decay of morals. Lastly the text argues that the aristocracy prevents the American dream from being fully realized. Myrtle Wilson is our first American dreamer in the text. She is introduced as “Then I heard footsteps on a stairs, and in a moment the thickish figure of a woman blocked out the light from the office door. She was in the middle thirties, and faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can. Her face, above a spotted dress of dark blue crepe-de-chine, contained no facet or gleam of beauty, but there was an immediately perceptible vitality about her as if the nerves of her body were continually smouldering. She smiled slowly and,...

...Individuality and the Internet The internet has created a world where virtually every piece of information is available on a universally accessible platform. This international community gives rise to an atmosphere where trends and styles are immediately broadcast to the world. Ideals and habits are no longer confined to certain areas but spread throughout the world rapidly. In many ways, the internet has ushered in an international age that has created uniformity in the way people dress, think, and view the world. J.S Mill discusses the idea of individuality in his book On Liberty. Mill analyzes individuality and expresses the human need for some level of eccentricity. Mill stresses the fact that individuality is one of the fundamental components of human happiness. His main point is that individuality is imperative to social and individual evolution. The internet, in many ways, brings about new ideas and introduces the public to many points of knowledge. However in the same respect the internet often detracts from a person’s individuality and originality by imposing uniformity. In this paper I will argue that Mill’s idea of individuality and its benefits to society do not coexist well in the same world as the internet. John Stuart Mill writes that individuality should be asserted in matters, “which do not primarily concern others” (Mill, 54). The only way a person can truly cultivate his or her individuality and become a more complete human is to look within him or herself...

...to be discovered. Completely new styles of music and presentation combined with a newly appreciated level of exaggerated drama to bear an innovative art form: opera. The Baroque time period was also responsible for a far simpler era. There were those who saw the Baroque style as too complex and the Classical era was born. With an emphasis on the classical antiquities that made ancient Greece one of the strongest cultural influences in history, the Classical era focused on simplicity and hierarchy to produce a style still prevalent today. The Baroque style emphasizes above all else, a love of ornamentation. This love of ornamentation spawned a completely unique and incredibly influential style that focused on complexity in several facets of art and design. Multiple layers of musical instrumentation, melodies and harmonies combined to produce a polyphonic musical style. An overly exaggerated emphasis on exuberance and grandeur could easily evoke the intended emotions of the artist or composer as was seen in opera. This combination allows a person who does not understand the language of the presentation to still understand the story and emotions they were meant to. This complexity must metaphorically dance a fine line and not stray too far into extreme opulence. Too much ornamentation has the potential to present with an element of unintended confusion. This same excess of grandeur can easily alienate entire segments of a potential audience due to a lack of cultural...

...intertwined with one another. Art is creation, quality, realm, and appearance based on aesthetics of beauty, or out of the ordinary. Art comes in a wide variety of facets such as painting, theatre, music, dance, and other visual abstract art. With developing technology, values are changing and thus creating an increase in multiculturalism. Artwork maintains to focus on culture heritage, therefore creating an emotional approach on the viewer providing an understanding of differences. Art has a significant impact on my life especially through music and the love of tattoos. Making music involves your voice, fingers, playing an instrument, and the brain. Individuals involved in music use their ears, eyes, and tap into multiple skills others may not experience outside of music. It truly is a work of art and brings me so much joy. Being a man of many tattoos there is always argument whether tattooing is art. Tattooing is now recognized by the U.S. government as an art form and a profession. It is now that tattoo related art can be implemented in a museum, gallery, or educational institutions across the U.S.A. Tattooing has been around for years and continues to illustrate the relationship between art and American culture. Technology continues to evolve our lives and the globe that exists around us. As the world changes so do our expressions, both in how and what we express. Through the beauty of modern art this powerful link between new technologies offer a range so broad that allows...
