First of all, it's snowing! I know it's October, but really, was that necessary?

Second, I couldn't resist taking the What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test that's popping up all over the flist, even if I think it's really flawed. (Whilst I'm fond of Ukiyo-e art, I'm really more about the Abstract Expressionists with a side helping of Paolo Ucello and Der Blaue Rieter. And also, man, whoever wrote the test picked some really crappy examples of most of the styles.)

Anyway, here are my results...

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Simple, Progressive, and Sensual

14 Ukiyo-e, -4 Islamic, -7 Impressionist, -8 Cubist, -15 Abstract and 5 Renaissance!

Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries. it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure. Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.

People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.
