Dance Case

While during the 1800's the period of Romanticism began. During this time it focused on nature, emotions such as love, hate and anger. This period have had effect on all forms of art. That art ranges from art painting, story and poetry writing, music and in dance.

During this period there were many poets that used emotion. For example a famous writer that had a very big effect during this time is Nathaniel Hawthrone. Some of his work is "The Haunting Mind", "The Marble Faun", and "The Scarlett Letter." According to C.D. Merriman for Jalic Inc. (2007) Hawthorne explores the ideas of individual responsibility, the importance of creative expression and mans relationship to the natural world.

Like all artists they use painting as a form of expression of what they may be seeing through their eyes or going through in their lives. During this period there were lots of emotions and from the painting that I have seen there were lots of anger along with varies emotions. In "Third of May" by Francisco Goya to me was depressing. In the painting there was fear, despair and sorrow. I think that the painter was going through something and wanted to express it in his eyes.

During this time also romance was in a form of dance. Ballet was a form that portrait it. The movement was graceful and accurate. The body language tells a story and the face expressions help tell it even more. Last but not least were the music and lots of it was opera. There were varies ranges from soft to loud. It tells a story of what is going on for example something smooth and soft could be relaxing and a give a sense that it is about love and strong emotions. Some of the composers are Beethoven, Vincenzo Bellini, Eliza Flower and Hector Berlioz.

The romantic era was based on emotions which make sense because romance comes from a feeling that you have from within. I do not believe that romance began here because there is a history of emotions
