Balanced, Secure, Realistic



Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects. Impressionist paintings are balanced, use colored shadows, use pure color, broken brushstrokes, thick paint, and scenes from everyday life or nature.

People that like Impressionist paintings may not alway be what is deemed socially acceptable. They tend to move on their own path without always worrying that it may be offensive to others. They value friendships but because they also value honesty tend to have a few really good friends. They do not, however, like people that are rude and do not appreciate the ideas of others. They are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to the ideas of other people without it affecting their own final decisions. The world for them is not black and white but more in shades of grey and muted colors. They like things to be aestically pleasing, not stark and sharp. There are many ways to view things, and the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences. If they are content in their live they will be more than likely pleased to keep things just the way they are.

Non-conformist, Visionary, and Independent

6 Abstract, 3 Islamic, 2 Ukiyo-e, -2 Cubist, 3 Impressionist and -17 Renaissance!

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of what may appear to others as visual realities. Western had been underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. It allowed the progressive thinking artists to show a different side to the world around them. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a 'new kind of art' which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. Abstract artists created art that was diverse and reflected the social and intellectual turmoil in all areas of Western culture.

People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendency to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

Yay quizzes.

This might not make sense, but, I'm not going to respond to PMs for a few days, in case anyone is waiting for a reply. The forum is kind of intentional distraction, and I don't want to cheapen my PM response, so, there, you've been informed.

Conscientious, Fulfilled, and Spiritual

29 Renaissance, 10 Islamic, 20 Ukiyo-e, -38 Cubist, -43 Abstract and 21 Impressionist!



The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosophy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual inquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.

People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more conscientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences

...


The Renaissance is indeed probably my favorite art era, though there's a lot of good stuff to be found all over the place.

[Marie84]

There should have been more options/examples/genres; in reality I prefer Renaissance, Neoclassicism, Impressionism and Gothic (but I guess the description is old-school art in general for Renaissance)...

No worries! I totally do that too, and for the same exact reasons. . .
And sometimes I dont do that even though I really should have, and end up taking time away from things I planned to do, and then I chastise myself.

Extroverted, Progressive, and Intelligent
17 Cubist, -11 Islamic, -11 Ukiyo-e, 2 Impressionist, 3 Abstract and -26 Renaissance!

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919.

People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer.

ETA: This test pretty much reflects my current preference in painting. Had I been asked 20 years ago, emphasis would have been on impressionist paintings. I'm not from a very artsy family, so I just started discovering the visual arts when I went to uni.

Ummm......hi. Don't tell Pinocchio I'm here, ok?

Shameless IEE

Have you tried SEE?, you're maybe a bit too offensive (or rather brash and such words), also rather 'linear' for IEE.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

Damn my lack of paying attention to emotional atmosphere, I suppose I could edit it just to say, have you tried SEE as it's pretty close to IEE?

I didn't think she'd be offended by my comment, as she likes joking about people being homosexuals for instance (accused me of being one before, but in her book it's fine to say stuff like that to people she doesn't know).

So you see, on an Fi level, it seems OK (well, Fi 6th anyway).

(Presuming the long face is due to me possibly putting size '∞' foot in it)....

[UDP]

So yeah


if you could become an expert at something, get a PhD in something, what would it be? Why?

[Beautiful sky]

PhD

Philosophy, Religions, Psychology, Sociology, English Literature, Art Literature, Anthropology, Astronomy, AstroPhysics, Geology, Physics, BioChem, Chem, Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Medicine, Law, everything except Engineering, Computer Science, Math, and Business.

Anything that helps me understand people more deeply; anything that helps me find ways to help people; anything productive, anything knowledgable and helps me expand my understanding of the natural world, that helps me keep people around me safe (I am thinking of the bleach situation I had).

oh, as for why? cause I just LOVE studying those things.

But honestly I wouldn't change my career for anything. It was a rough road but I can't imagine doing anything else so intellectually challenging, rewarding, diverse, and heck, fun!

I remember when these guys were famous. It's probably been like 10 years since I've heard this song, good times... It's funny how in these boy bands there was always the "bad" guy, then there's the more sensitive guy, then one of them would just dance around to make them be 5 or some other odd number, hehe.

[Marie84]

I don't remember 5, or maybe it's just lost in a haze of a dozen other boy bands that never became that big
But yah, they did all follow that formula of having a bad boy, the cute and/or sensitive guy, the stereotypical hot guy and one or two miscellaneous. Gotta love the 90's

I'm currently studying Psychology first year and doing Anthropology as an elective. Love it! It is exhausting though, I'm both daunted and excited by the fact that I have another 6 years of this before I get into practice, especially when I'm already in my mid-twenties. just...whoa.

i liked sherlock holmes, coz i liked the movie and books (the actor's not my fave though). what's this one from? i can see vagabond for delta STs lol

The Holmes one is cool.

The current one was the product of a relatively brief google search. Apparently it is some anime about the legendary japanese swordsmen who wrote the book of the 5 rings. Not exactly what I was going for but maybe in the ballpark.

I've never read all of the book of the 5 rings, it seemed kind of interesting. Not sure of the type of either the character in the anime/avatar or the original author.

[UDP]

Another reason for these last posts is because I wanted to input a new stream of posting. There are very few people who seem to initiate a lot of posting or discussion, so it's a bit of a kick in the butt for people to actually talk about something or share their opinion about things.
