Concentrated study of aesthetics is a luxury that inspires gratitude and carries with it the singular regret of not being able to solely focus on it. As philosophers expose their opinions, one’s own philosophy of art surfaces alongside them. First, creativity need not be distinguished from fine art as this detracts from the goal of fine art to contribute to humanity. Second, mechanical and technological systems and patterns lie outside the realm of fine art as they fail to inspire or connect to the soul. Another paramount requirement of artwork is the prick of the observer in one way or another in order to evoke emotion. Last, uniqueness also finds its way into one’s personal philosophy as art must persuade the observer to consider a new action …show more content…
These works occupy their own category and though they are evidence of the human intellect using elements of creativity and artistic flair, these cannot be considered within either of the aforementioned groups. Shark Tank is a reality show that has emerged among scores of others like and is in its seventh season. Entrepreneurs take the platform before five billionaires in hopes to earn an investment in their company or invention. Within each successful entrepreneur one can find tenacity and diligence and having reached the tank means their idea can be deemed both innovative and creative, however these mechanical solutions to America’s problems are not evidence of art. Martin Heidegger, eloquently describes equipment in his account, "The Origin of the Work of Art" as a "familiar being [that] has a peculiar intermediate position between thing and art." With this claim that a gap exists between an object and a work of art, Heidegger prepares the way for confirmation that mechanical systems or creations cannot be classified as art. Robin G. Collingwood's argument in "Chapter 7" of The Principles of Art makes it obvious that he is in agreement with my stance as well. He proposes that the making of an artifact occurs in two stages. The first being the, "making the plan, which is creating" and second is, "imposing that plan on certain matter, which is fabricating" (Collingwood). At first, this may seem contradictory since Collingwood employs the word create in what he identifies to be the first stage, however one has to look more closely at how he defines both creation and an artifact, the two operative words. First, Collingwood provides the definition of create which denotes the making of something in a non-technical way. Then, Collingwood reaches back to the origin of the word pointing out its meaning, to generate. Although both are
Leo Tolstoy’s aesthetical assessment of art, and the role progress plays in regards to it, contrast greatly from that of the French artist, Marcel Duchamp. However connections can be made between their various aesthetical art theories, including in a way, the relationship the art has with the viewer. Although the audience’s role is radically different to each, it is essential component to both, Duchamp’s and Tolstoy’s aesthetical theories.
To talk about the Enlightenment taking current times into consideration, and more specifically to talk about an enlightened aesthetic, may seem unusual as the concept “enlightened” is usually identify with political regimes and scientific systems. But the truth is a return to the meaning of the concept of enlightenment and its aesthetic has never been so necessary for understanding the world that surrounds us as now. At a time in which "cultural marketing" and culture industries and their products are spreaded, it is inevitable to put back on scene the aesthetic reflection that accompanies the Enlightenment movement of the 18th century. For them, one of the great aesthetic categories traditions will be discussed: the sublime, starting from
Since time immemorial, art has always been a product of man’s emotional and intellectual connection with the world. The primary aim of art is to create a message that will either trigger an inexplicable consciousness within the spirits of its audience, or provoke wisdom among the minds of the curious persons. Owing to its deep-rooted role for man, art has long been explored in several manners, with some scholars pursuing the mere aspects of art, while some take on deep comparative examinations. However, the act of connecting ancient art to contemporary art is not, as easy as taking into account, the time both came into existence. More so, how current artists perceive the ancient art, and how it influences their current works. There is a more precise, more diverse approach in understanding how ancient art measure up to the contemporary ones. The overall purpose of this research paper is to gain insight of the perception and attitude towards ancient art among current artists. To understand and complete this research topic, the paper will offer deep research, which will also include interviewing current artists with an aim of completing the set objectives. Nonetheless, current artists have the obligation to appreciate ancient art, so as to develop the act of appreciating art works in the society, including the works of current artists.

As literary critics, Plato and Aristotle disagree profoundly about the value of art in human society. Plato attempts to strip artists of the power and prominence they enjoy in his society, while Aristotle tries to develop a method of inquiry to determine the merits of an individual work of art. It is interesting to note that these two disparate notions of art are based upon the same fundamental assumption: that art is a form of mimesis, imitation. Both philosophers are concerned with the artist's ability to have significant impact on others. It is the imitative function of art which promotes disdain in Plato and curiosity in Aristotle. Examining the reality that art

Life consists of constant cycles of spontaneous outbursts of joy and unexpected disappointments; there is an upside to this repetitive tug of war. On this rock we call home, we are surrounded by the most gorgeous creations, structures, and landscapes that add a touch of serenity to our miserable existences called aesthetics. Aesthetics as an adjective is defined as concern with beauty of the appreciation of beauty. As a noun it means a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement. The surrounding beauty that we take for continuous granted is significant towards our existence. In everyday interaction, we straddle the line between aesthetic judgement, where we appreciate any object, instead

For over two thousand years, various philosophers have questioned the influence of art in our society. They have used abstract reasoning, human emotions, and logic to go beyond this world in the search for answers about arts' existence. For philosophers, art was not viewed for its own beauty, but rather for the question of how art and artists can help make our society more stable for the next generation. Plato, a Greek philosopher who lived during 420-348 B.C. in Athens, and Aristotle, Plato’s student who argued against his beliefs, have no exceptions to the steps they had to take in order to understand the purpose of art and artists. Though these two philosophers made marvelous discoveries about the existence of art, artists, and
The role of art in human life has been studied by several philosophers throughout time. Frederik Schiller (1795-1805), in his “Letters On the Aesthetic Education of Man” develops the theory of the drives to explain the fragmentation of the human being and places art in a reconciliatory role between man’s personal nature and the community. The present essay will discuss in some detail Schiller’s theory of the drives, placing the main focus on the role and importance of the play-drive in human life, to finally discuss the features in Schiller’s theory of play that help elucidate the role of art in human life.
The search for a definition of Art has been subject of a complex philosophical reflection incorporated; however, within different thematics because the very idea of Art is changeable as it relies on the culture and the tradition of a particular epoch.
“ The artist is creator of beautiful things”(1). This aphorism coveys that beauty can be found within art and by looking at art one is looking at beautiful perfection. “The moral life of man forms part of the subject matter of the artist but the mortality of the art consist of perfect use of an imperfect medium”(1). What the author is trying to explain through this aphorism is that artist use the imperfect things they find in the imperfect world as subjects in their art. However the make these imperfect things become perfect and beautiful through their art work. These aphorism both suggest the aesthetic attitude because they support the idea that “ the highest pleasure is to be found in art”.
