what Is Art ?
Plato (Idealist)
art is an imitation of an imitation.
In Plato‟s Republic, he uses the
example of a bed. The painting of a bed is
a copy of a concrete bed, which is itself a
copy of the ideal form of a bed. If art is
imitating an imitation of an ideal, then, art
is doubly divorced from reality and doubly
inferior.
Aristotle (realist)
art is still an imitation,
but not of the ideal world
like Plato but the real
(physical) world. Art is a
mirror of reality
around us and within
us.
Art is by trying to
understand the
original intention of
the maker of the
artwork itself - the
painter, the writer,
the composer.
