What art are there around you?

1, photography

Photography is a visual art with strong modernity. Since French Daguerre invented photography in 1839, photography has developed rapidly both technically and aesthetically.

Especially with the development of photography technology, human aesthetic vision has expanded from space to the seabed, from micro to macro. Photography has become one of the main expressive tools of human visual aesthetics and the "third eye" of human beings.

2. Architecture

Architecture is a symbolic visual art, which "generally can only use things in the external environment to imply the meaning transplanted into it" and "create a work whose external shape can only imply the meaning in a symbolic way".

Architecture fully embodies the organic combination of function and aesthetics, technology and art. Although the forms and uses of various buildings are different, it generally embodies the principle of "practicality, firmness and beauty" emphasized by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, and always tries to express the forms of various basic natural forces and the spirit and wisdom of human beings.

3. Calligraphy

Calligraphy, as a unique art in China, is sublimated from practicality. It uses the particularity of brush and rice paper to draw lines through Chinese characters.

An isomorphic aesthetic relationship is established between the combined movement of font modeling and human emotions, which makes every Chinese character seem to have life and embodies the calligrapher's spiritual temperament and aesthetic pursuit. "China's calligraphy is rhythmic and natural, expressing a profound conception of life images and becoming an art that reflects life."

4. Music

Music is the art of conveying and accepting aesthetic experience through auditory senses (ears) and corresponding aesthetic means.

Music expresses the subject's emotional state through organized musical sounds, and its basic elements include rhythm, melody, timbre, harmony, tone and intensity, which constitute an incomparably rich musical form. Beethoven once praised that "music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy", while Heine emphasized that "music may be the last artistic language".

Step 5 dance

Dance is an art form in which the human body keeps moving according to a certain rhythm. It originated from the productive labor of ancient human beings, combined with music and poetry, and is one of the earliest art forms in human history.

As an art to express the beauty of human body, dance conveys people's aesthetic feelings and expresses the aesthetic attributes of life by means of exquisite, organized and beautified human posture.

In dance, people's body movements continue and change with the music in time, which not only infects the emotions of those who appreciate (accept) and gives them aesthetic pleasure, but also creates an atmosphere for directly venting their emotions, which stimulates the dancers' emotions and enables them to obtain entertaining spiritual satisfaction from rhythm and sports.
