Answer:
Each of us has encountered a unique image that spoke to our soul as we stood in
front of it. It has been said that the artwork we decide to place on our walls serves as a
physical expression of who we are and what we stand for. What resonates with one
person may have the opposite effect on another, as art has a profoundly personal impact.
It is the tool in order for us to communicate the beauty that art comes from within.
Thomas Merton said, "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same.”
Art enables us to find ourselves because it is a creative form of human expression
that enhances the human experience. Art is a way of life where it tells a story. By finding
ourselves, it makes us a colorful person, where we can express our feelings, experiences,
sentiments, ideas, and even our imagination. Through finding ourselves through art, we
are also losing ourselves in the arts. Each of us responds to art in a different manner.
Much of the appreciation we derive from art comes from our own personal experiences.
Music, paintings, designs, literature, dancing, and movies are all examples of art that
mesmerizes us, engulfs us, dissociates us from reality, and enables us to lose ourselves in
them. In addition, art embodies our personal identity, preferences, backgrounds, and
orientation where we are able to understand ourselves in order to see reality.
In conclusion, great art facilitates self-discovery. Great art challenges your
perception of the beauty and invites you to use your own imagination to fill in the blanks
in the story. Great art ought to pose a query whose resolution reveals something about the
viewer. Therefore, art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

2. What is the difference between Art as Representation: Mimesis and Art as a Form?
 Answer:
The idea of what constitutes art has changed over time and between civilizations.
As many different definitions of art exist as there are people in the world, and each one is
influenced by the person's unique point of view as well as by their own traits and
personalities. We can freely determine what art is from a variety of life views. But as our
global community has grown, three general characteristics have emerged for the concept of
art: representation, expression, and form.
To distinguish between the two types of art, Art is a Form and Art as
Representation: Mimesis. Art as Representation: Mimesis of which Plato established the
notion of art, which he defined as copying or imitating. He claims that it is the portrayal and
duplication of something worthwhile or significant. Art as Representation: Mimesis, possess
that artists have the ability to copy or duplicate the processes, procedures, techniques, and
contents of other artists. Immanuel Kant, on the other hand, had an influence on Art as a
Form. Kant was convinced that the formality of an artwork should be considered while
assessing it rather than its concept. The introduction of these principles of art and design to
evaluate and define art had an impact during the 20th century.
These two factors are essential in deciding how we should describe art today.
Since there is no proper description for the arts, I can genuinely understand the concept. What
matters most is that we, as modern humans, are able to comprehend the arts that are a part of
our culture and tradition. We embrace and value its distinctive outward appearance. We as a
people are aware of its social, historical, and philosophical significance. Last but not least, art
helps us strengthen our critical thinking abilities.
