Art

Why does there have to be a system of instruments or of rules that all connected to the same object? Why can art be a person affection so that everyone's art is different? I agree with Diderot and d'Alembert about how art needs to be able to produce luxury, amusement, and satisfaction of curiosity but I personally don't see why their has to be objectives. Most of art is all about experimentation there is no need for any technical order of observations arts all about what your mind wants you to see not what the object was intended to make you see or believe. Why is it almost impossible for to practice art with out speculation and conversely? Diderot and d'Alembert I feel are trying to express that art needs to be thought about in more of a scientific way rather than what most love art for; imagination. I do agree that every art there are many particulars concerning its materials and instruments, but I do not agree that the application of learning about each material or instruments has to be learned and perfected through practice. Why can't minds imagination of what they want to happen take over how they are suppose to use the materials? I agree that through the function of practice you can present difficulties and phenomena, but I don't agree that is the only way to portray the difficulties. The distinction between liberal and mechanical arts has not lead to bad consequences in my opinion, it has just separated the likes and dislikes of what people are looking for in the art that they personally connect with. Just because it has separated the likes of art does not make any group have a 'low name' because each group will still appreciate the work they enjoy. Through the general purpose of any art there are certain elements that are portrayed by Diderot and d'Alember which I would have to say I personally agree with. These elements consist of matter, spirt, function of the soul, and product of nature; all of which could be presented separately through art or combined through art. Art in many ways is a topic that is never agreed upon, there is either disagreement on religious aspects or even the nature ways of life all which are all personal opinion.
