Is beauty in the eyes of the beholder...?



To me this is beauty because i just love harvest moons and how they reflect against a lake or any sort of body of water is gorgeous. What this symbolizes to me is peace and calmness. What i like most about this picture is because the moons reflection in the water looks like a bullet that has been fired from a gun and is about to hit the moon. I also like the color and how clear the picture looks. I think people take the moon for granted, they don't realize if we didn't have the moon we wouldn't have anything to light up the night so brightly.






For me this is beauty because I see a lion that doesn't ask for things in life he takes it. It resembles power while still being well groomed. To me a lion giving his roar is a spectacular sight. If I Were to be a lion my roar would symbolize that I am hungry and you have a ten second head start to hide or it would symbolize that I am "KING". Even though lions are furious animal they are animals that you should have total respect for, I mean every other animal in the jungle does if they don't want to get eaten. But to me this photo is beautiful to me because i see the lion in the morning or so roaring as if it was yawning.

For this piece to me on how it symbolizes beauty to me is because any artist who can just get out there and just do what ever they want and feel like is just magnificent. What i think this reminds me of are hot stone massages which are just so relaxing and soothing. Thats is exactly what this picture bring to me it brings relaxation and soothing thoughts. To other people they might think it might be something that they're three year old kids can draw but its not. Paintings like this are drawn out by older people and people who relax there thoughts. If people think that people have rough draft drawings of they're abstract art they're wrong. Abstract art is a form of painting that only takes one try to make colors look into something totally different like a figure.

I really enjoyed your thoughts on beauty. All three images you chose were all really different. They were images that people probably wouldn't think of right away when they think of beauty. Good job overall.

I love what you said about the painting. Alot of people don't appreciate art and sometimes people never come to think of the deeper meaning in a picture or a painting. What you said about it was simply amazing. Great job.
