There many important people who contributed a lot in the Art aspect. They
define their different philosophies to express emotions in art and inspire other people.

creative Philosophers.
Basic Philosophical Perspective of Art
1. Art as mimesis (Plato) According to him, art is an imitation of the real that was
an imitation of the ideal. Art is an imitation of an imitation.
2. Art as representation (Aristotle) --- According to him, the aim of art is not to
represent the outward appearance of things but their inward significance.
3. Art for art’s sake—(Kant) ---that 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 as it organizes color and line into a formally satisfying and
beautiful whole.
4. Art as an escape--- The ceremony of doing or creating art touches the deepest
realms of the mind and the sacred dimension of the artistic creative process.
The sacred level of art only transforms something into art but also transforms
the artist at the very core of his or her being.
