Talking About Beauty

Today we'll be talking about beauty: what is it?
Who decides what and who is beautiful?
How does beauty feel? How can the idea of beauty change and evolve?
What makes you feel beautiful?
To you who is beautiful and what about them creates that?
What do culture and society have to do with beauty?

It has been great to hear you talk about beauty in reference to some of the work we have looked at so far.

This photo (taken by Annie Liebovtiz)is one of great beauty to me - this women shows beauty in her strength, and confidence. If you have a chance to look up more of Liebovitz's work I think you'll like it.


On the topic of societal pressure - in particular the pressure for women to be thin, check out this project done by a recently deceased supermodel who wanted to speak out against anorexia in the modeling industry.
