Today in class we investigated the poem, “when i heard the learn’d astronomer” by walt whitman. We spent time as groups figuring out how each of the tem characteristics of American Romanticism were incorporated into the poem. After analyzing the poem, we also compared it to how the romanticism can be found even in paintings. We looked at a painting that had a blotchy colored background with a rigid,dull, gray suit in the center, representing rationalism, contrasting the organic, colored background representing romanticism. Towards the end of class and watched a clip from “Dead Poets Society” and discovered how the American Romanticism Characteristics could be found in films.
