One question raised by Chelsea was "Is art truly imitation or is it truly the artist's interpretation?"
According to Plato art is truly an imitation, however I strongly disagree with this. I believe that art is all based off of artist's interpretation. Saying that art is imitation is almost like saying that art is false and deceitful. True, some art may be meant to deceive, but for the most part art is a mirror of truth. Or the interpretation may fall somewhere in between, it all depends on what the original interpretation which the artists creates. An artist's interpretation will give the art more meaning then what Plato describes as an 'imitation of an imitation' or a false interpretation of nature. The interpretation can show viewers what art truly is to the artists.
What is art without imagination?
