American Romantic Art and Poetry Blog (RJ #6)
After reading literary examples of American romanticism in poetry, examine the paintings featured. Why do you believe these are romantic poems and paintings? What visual aspects do the poets/artists employ to interact with the view? How do they create the "romantic" landscape? What do you think are the characteristics of a romantic art and poetry? How do they reflect the ideals of manifest destiny? How do they reflect a worship of nature?
Use the questions to write a well-developed thesis about how one specific poem (using specific evidence) relates to the "romantic" ideals presented in one or more paintings (using specific objects and emotional impact in the paintings). Be specific in making your connections between the poem and the paintings. 300 words.
