assignment # 9

     The Video that I saw was "On Beauty" by Hennessy Youngman he talks about how art is visual and he thinks what really makes art is the beauty that is capture in the painting. He talks about how beauty shows different types of goods that is in the world, he doesn't mean good as in products but the positive things the world gives to us. He also says that when you see the beauty in the paintings you could see the good in things and make you feel appreciative. He talks about how not everybody could make art that somebody would want to see but also that some viewers dwell to much on the painting and they take away the true meaning when they think too much of it.There were a couple of paintings that he discusses in his video which one of them was a girl crying and he said that he could be sympathetic because he didn't know the reason why she was crying. He also said that he was trying to look for different things and scenarios that would make her cry and find different solutions for them. The other painting that he spoke about he said that he couldn't be sympathetic because he already knew why the woman was crying, which was because the body that was in front of her that had the blood. He also says that he already know what happened and that he can't guess what happened. The way he used satire to communicate his ideas is that he said that every painting should be beautiful and which is not true because in different types of paintings they have different types of styles. For instance the baroque paintings have a dark background and has a little light showing in it, while there are drip painters where you won't be able to see or decipher what they really mean. So therefore he talks about beauty a lot in the video but I think beauty is the eye of the beholder.
