It is similar since aesthetics is the branch of philosophy it is directed towards the
nature of arts and appreciating its beauty and taste of which the individual’s creative
works of art is interpreted through philosophical concepts of the art. It is different in
a way that the aesthetics is the study of the felt perceptions of the senses and the
philosophy of Art is mainly the study of the nature of art, including its concepts and
interpretation and expression.
2. How will an artist use both of these fields of studies on art?
An artist utilizes the value of beauty and cherish it, such as viewing visual art,
listening to music and experiencing a play while through the art, the artists
imagine, create and perform works of art, how people use, create and criticize their
art. It complements with each other by the expression of beauty and the
interpretation and evaluation of the arts.

3. Why is the meaning of beauty universal ?

The concept of beauty is universal and can be personal . The experience of being
moved by art seems universal. However, in connecting deeply to a work of art
activates the same part of everyone’s brain which becomes personal.

4. Do all people have the same standard of beauty ? Why/ why not ?
Not all people have the same standard of beauty, it is because every individual is a
unique being . Our feelings, expression, human mind and talents even vary as a
person, we are created differently even the composition of our human genes. In this
way, beauty is perceived differently based upon one’s expression through visual,
performance and literary arts.

5. Give an example of what is beautiful to you but may not be beautiful to someone ( a
friend /relative ). Explain it persuasively.
To me beauty is my relationship and expression of songs and music with my age
groups, we share and express our feelings through music that makes us feel happy.
The rap songs that I composed is an expression of love, likeness of someone and the
rhythm of the contemporary music that I blend from my imagination and
relationship with my peer groups is an expression of beauty. My songs might not be
as beautiful to others not my age group but has hardest hit in Youtube of my age
group and few of the adult groups. It is because some words might not be
appropriate for some but the only way that as teenagers, people sees us different
from other age group. We want to be viewed differently and be appreciated in our
ways.
