1. The Third Movement of Beethoven's ninth symphony stuck me as wistful and nostalgic. The music reminded me of the dancing scene from the movie Beauty and the Beast. On the right side of the drawing, I drew a huge bookcase filled with books, because reading is a wistful, thought provoking activity. Most books challenge ideas brought forward, whether out-right or subliminally. An author puts forth their ideas in their works, and those thoughts cause the readers to begin to challenge things already out forth in society. The dancer on the left side represents the more light side of the movement. The dancer is twirling around the room, again representing the light and airy side of the piece. The darker side of this piece is represented by the dark shadowy world outside the window. The full moon beaming down, on old rickety trees.
2. The concept identified in the previous statement goes along with the Romantic ideas of celebrating the individual, and the importance of imagination. The Romantics elevated the achievements of individuals, so written works, and the development of ideas were important. The spread of ideas and thoughts were important. Just like the idea of imagination was important. Romantics saw the idea of imagination as critical to authority. Imagination leads to great inventions, ideas and movements. If people were unable to imagine, or see a better future then the world would be a standstill. Imagination is also a key factor in arts. If we all thought the same then books would be come boring, art would be mundane, and nothing would strike people a certain way provoking change.
3. "All the world's creatures, Draw joy from nature's breast; Both the good and the evil, Follow her rose-strewn path."
This represents the Romantic idea of awe of nature. Nature is an important part of life because it surrounds us and can effect day-to-day activities.
