First Thoughts
When I first wrote down my ideas on what beauty is, I approached it is visual way. Something is visually beautiful when is it bright, colourful, intricate, symmetric, and/or complex.
When I thought a bit deeper about what beauty is, there is an emotional aspect to it. Something can be beautiful when gives you an emotional reaction. Something that makes you feel happy, sad, good, hopeful,etc.
An Example of Beauty
The example of beauty I gave in class was a mosque that I saw on reddit.com awhile back. It really stuck in my mind due to it intriguing, colorful ceiling. Right below is the image I am speaking of.
This mosque fit my description of physical beauty, but not really fit the emotionally aspect, at least not in my case. I'm sure for the Muslims who worship there would see it as a much more beautiful place then I do because it is where they go to be closer to God.
