EXPLORING ART

In today's discussion me, Anthony and Samantha
reviewed the information we reserved based on our
case study which we used as the evidence to
evaluate how important art is to a person's well-
being and can it improve well-being or not? That
was the final question. As the result of our
discussion, we all agreed that based on the
research and personal experience plus observations
art does impact mental health. Art and music can
increase a person's mood, make them more
initiative, and creative. By creating your own art you
as a person become not only creative but you learn
how to be in control, how to manage emotions and
trust the process. Besides that art will open up your
eyes about how different we all are, our tastes are
different as well and not every kind of art is good for
every single person. Another great point that we
made is that art can connect people. You can get to
know a lot of new friends by simply talking about
art, creating art together, or just find people with
similar interests.

In this episode, Vanessa and I discussed the intertwining relationships of drawing, painting, printing, and photography. We talked about how photography, in a sense, is more permanent than the other forms of art and is the most memorable. At the same time, we touched on how, although photography is permanent, there is a sense of creativity and emotional expression that can come with drawing and painting, which allows a viewer to connect with the creator.

In this episode of the Exploring Art Podcast, host Brittanie invites listeners on a journey through the intersections of art, emotions, and well-being, guided by the theories of philosopher Monroe Beardsley. Joined by guests Ken and Kendle, the discussion explores Beardsley's influential work in aesthetics and its implications for personal growth and mental health.

Have you ever wondered how exactly a painting can convey picturesque beauty, specifically in landscape paintings, from psychological, philosophical, historical, and environmental perspectives? Consider how the aesthetics influence you as the viewer when admiring art. Are these feelings purely visual, or are you subconsciously placing yourself within the scene depicted?

How does the perspective of beauty change from different animal viewpoints? Indeed, we humans have various opinions on what constitutes beauty. What, then, is beauty truly? In today's episode, we discuss the diverse descriptions of beauty and examine how birds perceive beauty in ways that may be similar or different from human perspectives. We hope you enjoy our episode.

This podcast delves into the concept and meaning of the picturesque, what it means to find something beautiful, and how we define that beauty. We also explore the philosophy of aesthetics, what picturesque means in different languages, and how it compares to the definitions we have today.
