What counts as knowledge in the arts? Discuss by comparing with another area of ​​knowledge. "Art is a human activity, the purpose of which is the transmission of the highest and best feelings that men have achieved.", quoted Leo Tolstoy (1828-1920) to highlight the unique capabilities of the arts of difference from other areas of knowledge such as the sciences. Three criteria differentiate the arts from the sciences: intention, quality and response. In this sense, art is essentially a deliberate human effort, intended to move viewers. The main question of knowledge explored in this essay is based on the knowledge claim that any work of art is essentially an invention as opposed to any scientific discovery that is discovered. First, it is essential to investigate to what extent a definition of artistic knowledge is based on the artist's intentions? What makes natural scenic beauty different from a painting that has aesthetic appeal. For example, a painting depicting a pastoral setting with green pastures, a shepherd taking care of livestock is different from real grasslands. Can we call the Grasslands a work of God's artistic abilities? Since grasslands occur naturally, they cease to be a work of art. However, an artist's intention to think, memorize, reproduce or create an image that approves the painting as a work of art. But, in this sense, anything that has an intention should be called an artistic endeavor. For example, a teacher wants to communicate the idea of ​​parallelism to a student and draws two straight lines along opposite edges of the blackboard or flipchart. We cannot consider this drawing as a work of art even if the drawing was a deliberate attempt to convey meaning. So, art requires... half the paper... art is believed to be based on emotion rather than reason, the existence of standard formats for drawing, painting or singing shatters the myth that art The use of logical reasoning is minimal in the arts. The vocal exercises that a potential singer must practice are based on scientific discoveries and research conducted by scientists and artists. In this sense, the arts and sciences can be considered as two sides of the same coin, showing complementary roles and functions. In conclusion, the arts and sciences are mutually interdependent in promoting knowledge as they share the key objective of promoting knowledge and education. Both of these areas of knowledge use both formats and content to resolve the debate between universality and individuality. Individual methodologies may differ, but the overall goal of improving the quality of human life is shared by both areas of knowledge.
