Beauty, Philosophy, Art, Craft, Science

As I said befoe how does philosophy, art, craft, science relate to beauty? I have been pondering what is beauty? Since we recieved that question in our mail box last week. I have answered it to some extent but since it is such a vague term it is a tough decision to pin point one distinct definition. I am thinking in these terms from reading on defitintions this would be an example of a Lexical definition. There are so many differnt things beauty can e described as.
Beauty can be described as simple as a single mark or a drip down a page. Or more complex terms a landscape from baroque times or the transendentalist movement. Beausty is such a broad tem that it probably cannot be defined just as a single atmospheric term. I always think that nature is always the up most beautiful because it happens naturally without any disturbances. The idea also that beasuty can be descibed as chemical reactions because they ca happen naturally without people's interferance. I myself have been toying with the idea that something has left and has been felt. The beauty of a footprint for example tells a whole story about a shoe or the way a person walks, That is beaustiful in itself. The idea also that beauty can be descibed as a chemical reaction because it just happens whether we push it along or not. Looking at Andy Goldsworthy's work in comparision to what may be coming up in my work he uses natural materials that are found in nature. (wow thats clucky but whatever) My work is beginning to allude to the same materials but used differnently than what andy uses. His Philosophies is what I am drawn too mainly in reading I came across the fact that he has an idea that he seems to take on and then he pursues it. He does not know what he is going to use until he goes out into the field to create his work. The idea that something has left its presence has also been an idea that I have seen in his work whre he takes trees that have fallen and put them between rocks that is something that makes a statement also it is beautiful in how these objects that you find in nature that most of us take for granted are used in art. He mentions something about how he likes the idea of decay and how that is something that intersts him. I think decay is also beautiful because of the so many stages that something goes through before it is dust. It is a bit gross but decay is a natural process whether we want to say it or not.
Philosophy, Art, Craft and Science can be brought up inot this by categorizing or generalizing the broad term beauty. Beauty can be considered as a craft because it needs to be looked after or maintianed and it takes great skill in keeping it up. For example a runway model had to make sure her body image stays appealing to the public. She already has what god has given her but it needs nurishment to stay healthy. whether the use of skin products, make up and other things to keep the beauty maintained. In nature it is differnet nature automatically cleanses itself by the food chain. Things die off such as a plant which then fertalizes the ground leaving seeds those seeds then grow the next season when the climate and conditions are right. Beauty can be decscibed as a scientific term by the fact that I myself consider beauty to be a naturally occuring event that may need some aid in the up keep. It also chemically occurs on its own if its in your genes then beauty is there. No offense to anyone reading this but and example would be. the ugly baby syndome vs the beautiful baby. some people may consider some features of a new born child such as excessive wrinkles to be ugly instead of beautiful. Beauty to me also is the natural effect that somthing eminates off of itself.
Philosophy and beauty people can thik or converse on how something is beautiful or how it got its features. Art and beauty are realted in the way that beauty itself is presented to a viewer. Such as a simple drip or higlight in the clouds. It can merly be a fleck of something not very intracate or something that is so complicated the beauty of how complex it is beautiful itself.
