This week we discussed Romanticism in class and we worked to provide a contrast between romanticism and realism. Romanticism uses mainly emotion to convey an idea across to the audience while realism strives to recreate reality as closely as possible to the literal thing. We spent sometime discussing John Keats "Ode to a Nightingale", where he discusses the ability of the poets to completely immerse themselves n their work, forgetting for a time where and who they are. Conveying all of their emotion and focus into their work.
I did not think about this before but the more I read on the romantic and the era of romanticism the more I realize I am one as well. I thoroughly enjoy the genre and the work and identify more easily with the subject area. Possibly because it allows me to use my imagination and encourages this, so as to better understand the artist and their work.
