The need for a visual representation varies according to one’s perspective.

Some people
perceive art as something visible to the naked eye, meaning, it has a physical form in nature
while others pay attention to nonrepresentational details that are not visible. I personally think
that visual form is necessary and at the same time not, for reasons that it is dependent on what
kind of art we are talking about and the type of audience we have.
Art comes in a greatly diverse form where its existence transcends the notion of something that
is within and beyond physical sight. Visual form is seen through paintings, drawings,
photographs, sculptures, and other art forms that are primarily visual in nature. On the contrary,
non-visual form dwells on the sensation and expression that are more into abstract dispositions
like music and literature. Normal sighted people may experience art with visual characteristics
or not depending on their preferences. The visually impaired and blind people who could not
“clearly or physically” see a work of art undertake a different kind of approach when enjoying art
by using non-visual forms and interpretation of senses in art expression.
Both visual and non-visual approaches are equally significant when perceiving and appreciating
art. The psychological attitude towards the art form and self itself allows us to view art in its
essence and beauty. Thus, regardless of whether the art has a visual form or not, what matters
is one’s prospect and taste in art.
