Baroque - Action, motion, more realistic (focus drawn to good, bad, ugly). Presence based, all about emotion and feeling. Involves new techniques. Even in Arcadia, death exists! Crappy stuff happens, and sometimes you just can't explain it! Digs deeper into feelings and the asking of tough questions. Paintings were often crowded with people - feels like a movement.
Renaissance - Perfect clothing, perfect bodies. Baroque - gritty, torn clothing, dirty faces.
The moist detached person is the artist, so that they can create art. - Ortega.
Self Portraits - Knowing yourself, seeing yourself in different situations.
Quixote, "Know thyself, which is the hardest kind of knowledge that may be imagined."
Hinckley, "Find a quiet place and look into yourself."
Suffering -
Latter-day Saints have a complicated relationship with suffering... We have hope that everything is going to work out, however, we have the need to feel pain... What are your views of optimism? Has God prepared a perfect package of suffering for you?
