Class Discussion: Art as a Shared Experience
In class we discussed/related religion and art through the idea of a shared experience. This idea of a shared experiences implies that there is some sort of communal aspect between the two. I completely agree and can see where the philosophy behind this relation is derived. When looking at a peace of art, two people can mutually feel as though the art piece as aesthetic beauty. However, I feel that that is the extent to which the experience is shared. This is because “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. The reason one may feel the art is beautiful could be completely different from the second person. The same can be said with religion. A bible passage or sermon can significantly impact two people. But due to their different life experiences, it could impact the both of them in a completely different manner.
