Hasta da iton aja da mag
drowing drowing hampan arang baja kamahal! When
you hear these words from unappreciative people (especially on art), you
sometimes wish to shrink on your seat.
Aesthetic
experience concerns the appreciation of aesthetic objects and the resulting
pleasure. Such pleasure is not derived from the utilitarian properties of the
objects but linked to the intrinsic qualities of the aesthetic objects
themselves.
The
mind and psychological well-being is linked to art appreciation. There are
those who cannot see the beauty in it, but the appreciative brain will then get
the “experience” of being touched by the object seen and subjected to the
different senses.
Recent
studies suggest the arts can promote health and psychological well-being and
offer a therapeutic tool for many, e.g., adolescents, elderly, and vulnerable
individuals (Daykin et al., 2008; Todd et al., 2017; Thomson et al., 2018).
Aesthetic experience has been associated with mindfulness meditation, as it
leads to enhancing the capability of perceptually engaging with an object
(Harrison and Clark, 2016).
To
appreciate or “feel” art, one needs to have sophisticated cultural knowledge.
We
remember people who say: Do not be with these friends, “they are uncultured!”
They are simply underscoring the fact that such friends lack finesse. There
seems to be a gap on manners, etiquette and some sort-of socially accepted
movements among these persons.
Art
is about the sensory experience; it connects the bridge between thoughts,
feelings, emotions with movement. The best part about art, or rather the
psychology of it is that you don’t have to be an artist to truly appreciate
what art has to offer (Reynolds, 2020).
So,
those who dismiss works of art are either unappreciative of the time and skills
poured out to finish the piece or dismiss art/artists as nonsense might be
lacking the needed cultural knowledge… or they’re simply un-aesthetic.
If
they dust off the work of art, we let them dwell on their ignorance. Anyway,
most of them are being talked behind their back on their bad manners (like
eating) and how they dress up!
