The Nature of Art: Examining the Philosophical Origins of Art.
This paper examines theories found in the field of aesthetics, or the philosophical qualities found within art, to clearly address the question of whether humans create art or whether humans are art. This conflict of qualities has long perplexed philosophers and artists alike, where there is no real distinction as to whether art comes from an essential human nature, or whether art is the manifestation of that nature in a detached form of media. 4 pgs.
