thinking of form

I think the diversity of the art form language is related to that of the idea and sense in the artist’s mind. The form doesn’t necessarily follow the objective truth, because one’s feeling might not be same as the reality. For example, in Michelangelo’s sculpture work, in order to express the spirit of heroism, he modeled the female body with bulky volume and muscles, which is commonly founded in the male body. This is contrary to the slender and gentleness features of females. I agree we may apply the scientific attitude to our art creation, but we shouldn’t interpret the art like a scientist since the art is to express thoughts and philosophy while the science is to match the rules of the Nature. And the human’s mind is not always related to the reality. “In either case from is conceived as an ever-flowing source of ideas of motion.” I don’t entirely agree on this opinion. I think any form language ought to be based on certain understanding of the object. The pure imaginary idea is prone to be in vain. To make a human body sculpture, we need to have the basic knowledge about the body proportions and anatomy. Then we can express our feelings through the recognition of the object. If we know nothing about the basic structure of human body, we will be just like children drawing a cartoon or a simple shape of the body, without knowing the true beauty inside the body and expressing our true feelings.
