It is easy to say that the question which asks, what is beauty is not easily answered. To some, a particular object may appear beautiful, but to others is appears ugly. Is the object, then, beautiful? A common phrase is, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but how much of beauty is truly individual perception and how much is universal.

So I had a school assignment, and this is the result. We had to take a piece of art from one art period and transform it as if it were done in another art period. I took Velasquez’s The Waterseller of Seville and painted the waterseller in a rococo style. The background and setting mainly came from Joshua Reynold’s Brown Boy. The original waterseller is shown in the first picture below, while my remake is the bottom picture.

Just for the concerned or afraid…
I’ve changed the way I’m taking notes in class. I’m now taking them in capable word processors. In my History of Creativity class, I’m taking the teacher’s notes which are provided in Word format and I’m directly adding to them (in a different color) so that my notes and the professor’s notes are combined.
Don’t be concerned that I’m not taking notes in my classes any more.
In my history of creativity class we have been discussing major artists, writers scientists, and creative persons from 1500 to about 1700. Many of them had some royal support in their endeavors. Either they were supported by the Catholic church, or by the monarchy of a nation.
It makes me think, what will happen today in our scientific and artistic endeavors with government spending cuts. Will our scientific and technological improvements be hindered ? Can private or public businesses support the artists and scientists that in previous eras were supported by goverment?
What will happen to society one we give up on our creativity?
Will I find my love? I must ask thee, oh knowledge and all deity.
Wither I go to find her smile, oh this is my hearts desire.
I know know not the woman I seek,
but perhaps fate would bid her to speak.
My heart consumed, like paper to fire;
glowest bright, yet destroyed from the pains of this inquisition.
Oh woman of my desires,
tell me who thou art,
and from what land thou comest
or if thou art my neighbor.
Dreaming is my release,
when I almost see thee,
God bid me sleep a thousand years.
The thought of you, like tasting pure light.
Oh sweet taste lingers on my tongue,
with the gentle breeze of righteousness.
Yet how should I have this taste, which I know not?
Perhaps we’ve spoken, though not with voice.
Ordered letters made of light;
my fingers type, yet they would hold thine tight
My commitment to thee, would not be weefy,
strong and enduring, like literature itself.
The definity of words of love, they speak of thee,
oh, woman, wilt thou lovest me?
