10/12 "Art" Video

The video that I chose to watch and write about is called "Romance." The video showed several different arists and their style of art in the form of romance and why they saw it that way. The first chapter or artists had a passion for puppets. She liked to create a short film or story using these animated puppet characters that she had created on her own. She even had Meryl Streep star in one of her films. It was was about the romance between a puppet and a live woman. The artist wrote the songs and created the storyline. One of the songs was called "Lyric to a Melody" and it reflected the emotional flow of the film.
The second part of this video was about a woman who liked to come up with and direct plays. She saw beauty and meaning in things that other people would consider unimportant in love or romantic scenes. She had many "objects on legs" perform and audition for her plays. She picked the pocketwatch to be the main character over the beautiful and graceful cake. She believed it represented the starting/stopping of time, and showed regret is a prevailing notion. It leaves in the audience a feeling of "what might have been if one had a chance."
Another interesting artist in this video was a man who like to paint unique, bold works of art. He believes that his work is not confined to one demographic or audience. His artwork is very, very detailed and abstract and shows the problems and issues that occur in our contradictory world, such as homosexuality.
