1. When does art perfects nature?

Some “ends,” are a matter of “free choice” because there are opportunities to intelligently
manufacture instruments to fulfill human needs in a better way than depending on nature, and this
pertains to “art” or technology. These arts must be subordinated to the ethically defined needs that they
were created to meet; therefore, using technology to hurt people’s happiness is a misuse of technology.
As a result, human free practical action, whether ethical or technical, must always value nature, as stated
by Aquinas in his popular philosophical dictum, “art perfects nature.”
The distinction between theoretical and practical sciences was recognized by Aristotle and
Aquinas. Theoretical sciences are concerned with assumptions that are predetermined by the essence of
things, and therefore are predetermined. In the meantime, practical sciences are determined by the
freedom to use different means to achieve a given goal. Since some “ends” are set in human existence,
this implies that some practical sciences are teleologically absolute and teleologically free in their
methodological choices. This is true in the ethical sciences because human nature decides the needs that
must be met in order for us to be happy, and happiness is defined by our nature.

2. Discuss the Process of Creation.

The Process of Creation

An excellent artwork didn’t happen accidentally, thus it is a process by which an artist

plan, and exert patience and knowledge for their artwork to be completed. In order to fulfilled
those process here are the nine steps to be considered…
The first step is to think of a good subject. Consider what message or idea you want to
send or convey to your target audience. This would be a good place to start. The second step is
for you to decide on the size you like, since the scale of an artwork will alter its entire
atmosphere or aura, making it one of the most important aspects for you as an artist. Keep in
mind that size does matter. The third stage entails developing your own crop. The four lines that
most artists don’t even consider controlling are also the most important lines in an artwork.
Making and managing these four lines is crucial to your art because they are responsible for
containing and defining your final work. The fourth step is to consider where you want to put it.
The placement of shapes on a two-dimensional surface gives a piece different degree of
significance, context, and balance. Vertically, horizontally, or both, centering your subject will
still give your work a greater sense of stability, but it can seem a little generic. Allowing a
portion of your subject to be cropped off by the sides, top, or bottom will add visual appeal in
some cases. However, keep an eye out for things that only brush the edges of your artwork or
objects that just barely touch the edges of your artwork. Controlling your lines is the fifth move.
Every subject has lines, and using them to your advantage will allow you to catch the viewer’s
attention. As a result, cause your lines to flow into the center of your work or the areas you want
the viewer to focus on. However, avoid using hard lines to separate your art because this will
pull the viewer out of the space you’ve created and distract them from the painting. The balance
of positive and negative space is the sixth step. Positive room, for the record, refers to any object
or shape that stands out from the context and has an effect on the eye as “something.” Negative
space, on the other hand, is the context or the space around the objects. Always remember to
keep the two in harmony because they make a nice contrast when they are. If one of them
dominates the other, it can cause havoc, so make sure they are balanced. However, since there
are moments when using a lot of negative space emphasizes the positive space and produces a
pleasing artwork, the choice is yours. Adding contrast to your artwork is the seventh move. Since
a picture would be less interesting without bright highlights and dark shadows, visual arts must
use the entire spectrum of values from dark to light. Darker areas where light areas can stand out
catch the eye because it emphasizes what needs to be emphasized. It also functions in the
opposite direction. Use this to draw attention to a particular area of an artwork, but avoid putting
too much emphasis on the corner or edge if your concentration is supposed to be in the middle.
The eighth step entails removing distracting elements from the equation. Having too many
shapes, lines, or colors can distract or confuse viewers, so simplify the rest of it if you want them
to notice a particular component. Decide on a focal point, and if the eye becomes distracted,
change it and viewers will become distracted as well.

Finally, pick your colors carefully. Bold colors can draw attention, so use them
strategically in places where you want people to look. Any color that stands out when surrounded
by another color can draw attention.
