Realism by the LOLcats


Some people may wonder what realism actually is. Dictionary.com states that realism:
Is a theory of writing in which the ordinary, familiar, or mundane aspects of life are represented in a straight forward or matter-of-factly that is presumed to reflect life as it actually is.

Now there are 3 types of realism: Philosophy, Fine arts, and Literature. Each type has a different definition for realism, but we are going to use Literature since it pertains more to what our project is about. In a Literature point of view, realism affects life by giving authors a way to write their books, it also gives artists a style for their paintings. Realism affects the way people see everything, because realism is basically how things are seen and viewed. This is a rather repetitive thought but that is what realism is. the picture used above shows a painter painting a picture of other painters and so on. this shows how one person is interpreting the life and art of others. This shows realism.
