Art, then, is not merely the process by the artist; it involves both the artist and the active
observer who encounter each other, their mental enviornments, and their culture at
large. That is, art is not just a recording of human experience, but it is an involvement
of human experience.

It is known to anyone who has felt a thrill at observing the beauty of a

painting.

It is that simple: a connection of souls, a communication by the artist

with the soul, that creative part of the observer.

Art, according to Dewey, like flowers, deserves consideration with

respect to its means of production. Dewey also highlights emotion as
necessary to creating proper art.

Art is representative of the social and cultural conditions in which it was

produced. 2.) responsible viewers of art engage in a dialogue with the
artist.

Dewey’s interest in biology influenced his description of the aesthetic

experience. An organism lives in an environment through which it fulfills
certain needs. The process of fulfilling these needs is called “experience”
and may be more or less satisfactory to the organism. When experience
seems to be completely satisfactory, when it is a happy experience that
combines memories of the past and anticipations of the future, when it is
an achievement of the organism in the world of things, Dewey calls it “an
experience.” Anexperience, realized by a human being, is aesthetic.
Thus, there is no sharp line between animal and human experience.
Animals could have an aesthetic experience, but no one would be likely
to call it that.

For Dewey, an intelligent worker performing a job, interested in it,

and finding satisfaction in doing it well is having an experience.
The worker is artistically engaged and is finding aesthetic
enjoyment. Consequently, everyday activities are the ones most
meaningful to the average person. To the average person, the most
vital arts are popular music, comic strips, newspaper accounts of
crime and love, and articles on the intimate doings of popular
entertainers.
