I believe that if everything is art,there is no art in this world.
What is ugly?What is beauty?Why?What we use to define the arts?These seemingly simple questions, are not simple.The equilibrium point of ugly and beauty for everyone is different.Even for different places or times.So it is difficult to find a everlasting principle of beauty or ugly for one thing.(I don't know if you can understand what I mean...please forgive my poor English...)
However, beauty is set off by ugly.Perhaps without beauty, ugly can also become beauty.Between beauty and ugly,there are no absolute standards.
In society, a thing can be identified as beautiful by most people,maybe it can be as beautiful for the time being. Perhaps when the times and people's aesthetic standards changed ,the thing is no longer beautiful.Perhaps the thing becomes a rubbish from art...
The rapid development of today's society, the times keep changing, our lives become more and more rich. We no longer run around to fill stomach.If anyone thought the design has changed. It also changing followed the footsteps of people's development.
Design originated in the primitive society. At that time, the design just to survive.For example, people designed animal traps , houses and clothes.But now, people are no longer satisfied with basic living needs and began to care about beauty, the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment.Design elements have begun to slowly increase.It beyonded essential functional and contains the concept of aesthetic,emotion and Scientific etc.
Therefore,as a designer, we must have the consciousness that perceive new things.To keep up the trend of the times.
When Dr.Tan said :"Our mouth is the gun, the tongue is a bullet."Suddenly I realised that how powerful the language is!It enable us communicate in various places. We can also use language to make a living.When our thinking needs to be someone else to understand,we have to dependent on language.By the same token,as a designer, we have to make perfect elaboration for our products.So as to be understand by customers.Who says language is not a kind of art?
Actually,I'm not sure which one comes first ,art or aesthetics.I need to know the diference of art and aesthetics.Hegel said:"In fact,In fact, 'philosophy of art 'should be really suitable for the term in this science.More accurate to say that aesthetics is philosophy of art. "Therefore the difference between aesthetics and art is not obvious.
So I still have questions on this issue, I can not answer.
If the question just like"Which one comes first?Man or woman?"or"Which one comes first?egg or fowl?"
... ...
Who can tell me?
