Art Is Not Imitative But Creative
It is not actually imitative but creating your own interpretation. If you copy someone’s
artwork that means you interpret beauty, you interpret it differently. It is a creative way
of creating of what he/she created. You have a personal interpretation of what you copy
or imitate.
B. Functions of Art
1. Functional- it is directly useful. It is useful in our daily lives. For example furniture, architecture,
weaving, and industrial design.
2. Non-functional- indirectly useful. It has no useful in our daily lives but it just gives us satisfaction
of the eyes. Example of non functional are painting, sculpture, theater, and literature.
C. Art is Mimesis
According to Plato all artistic creation is form of imitation. The world’s beauty is fake or
imitation. The true beauty of the world is in the divine bounty.
According to Kant, that art needs no justification. Art has its own reason for being. It implies that
an art object is best understood as an autonomous creation to be valued only for its success.
