I really liked the concept of wabi and the beauty in maybe incomplete or imperfect objects or settings. Both wabi and sabi aesthetics focus on lonely and sometimes ignored aspects of art or daily life. I have always enjoyed working with 'rough materials' or being slightly messy in my marks and although I care about my art looking nice, I don't want it to be the perfect to the tee. In fact, I have ALWAYS loved the incomplete or kind of untidy or dirty look of some pieces of art. I plan on using these ideas during my non-objective work later during the year and hope to also consider making some Japanese style keeping these concepts in mind. Lastly, I was really interested to see the differences between the western and eastern differences in the perspective of aesthetics. Both sides have different interpretation but it seems as though they are interconnected with culture and ideas. Overall, I found this lecture really interesting and am glad that it connected back to things that we are learning in school because it made it more relevant to our studies. :)

Good work - make sure to include the speaker's name, either in the title or in your text. "Honestly, I have always found Japanese art beautiful, especially woodblock. However, I didn't know about the aesthetics and the reason for the serenity of many of the works." - I love that you gained this specific knowledge that helped to clarify your original feeling about Japanese art. I also like that you are thinking ahead to future class and personal work - that's what this is all about!
