A arte como expressão do humano

Abstract

Throughout the humanity of history we have seen changes in the study of art and its understanding. Therefore, we realize that what makes something art relates closely to what each person claims to be art. In that perspective, the concept of aesthetic experience opens a fruitful horizon of reflections towards the understanding of how this process of saying that something is art happens. Also considering the relational perspective of the encounter and applying it in the relationship with art, we recognize that this relationship has great soliciting potential. Using the concept of elementary experience and utilizing poetry as a reference, the present work presents a reflection about art and its personal repercussion in the experience of who finds it, especially with regard to the awakening of self-consciousness.
