Visual arts and Design

We start with visual art:

Beauty and ugliness

The dimension beauty and ugliness contains a way to look at art.  Our definition of what beauty is is changing over the years.  

- Is there something you found beautiful as a child, but now consider as ugly? 

- Should a painting always be beautiful or can it serve another goal?

Think of a piece of visual art that left an impression on you, what was it? Why did it make that impression?
