the relationship between art and aesthetics

In the first instance,I thought there are no comparison between art and aesthetics all the time,even thought these two words both have thire different concept.One day,I joined the class of Dr.Tan,he asked us,"which comes first?art or aesthetics?"Such an interesting question,and I never think about it before...Then I want to look for some material about art and aesthetics,because this question refers to the relationship between they two.

At first,I likened them to two straight lines,and they have their own tracks.But the shape of relationship of these two lines is like an"X".In other words,thire relationship is CROSS.

Now, I'd like to explain it and refer to what I learnd from material.In general,

art is more specific artistic disciplines, such as music, science, art and so forth.

But more in terms of aesthetics, it's belong to specific scientific disciplines to explore the art of scientific problems, such as defining the definition of art, artistic types and categories , features, origin of art, the function of art, art education, art criticism principle, and so on.

 

Because of the intersection of art and aesthetics,we only can roughly divide them.

Intersection between disciplines is a normal phenomenon, which is mainly determined by what we study itself.

If the aestheticsgive a definition to art ,art is as an area of ​​the beauty.But in the art theory,the art becomes"metanotion"of the art theoty.This is the intersection what I mentioned.

 

So,how about the question--which comes first?

... Well... ...Sophia is quite sleepy now...

What a pity!

I'll talk about it later...

 

Good night to everyone,and say "happy birthday "to myself~
