Jin Suk Kim, Chun Sung Youn
Abstract
Personal expressive elements through exterior presentation reflect various phenomenon of the social and psychological behavior of that era. Aesthetic expressions mixed with normal everyday experiences, artistic experiences and personal values can be viewed very differently depending on how one approaches these expressions. Popular and contemporary `beauty` is continuously creating a new culture within the public. This type of beauty is a complex and comprehensive criteria that make up what we understand about beauty. Aesthetics, which is a subjective and personal expression of uniqueness of oneself, can also be considered contemporary beauty within the public. Understanding the forms of expression of beauty is similar to a philosophy of understanding day-to-day life. These forms of expressions manifests based on one`s aesthetic appreciation, and such expression may also bring about simple joy in those who exercise such expression. The process to explore, create, and express beauty based on aesthetics can be understood from the aspects of culture and education. In this regard, it is necessary to encourage the study of aesthetics as it identifies an era in which it is associated with. Accordingly, the philosophical idea of beauty from an aesthetic point of view and phenomenological idea of beauty from an artistic point of view work out the true meaning of beauty. Hereafter, all of the above will form the basis of the research to deduct artistic thoughts of aesthetics. The value of beauty from an aesthetic point of view, improve the quality of living and promotes experience of enjoyment. Aesthetic beauty has been deducted from `high art` as a result of philosophical speculation and `utilitarian art` from each individual`s expression of artistic value. `Beauty` from the aesthetic standpoint establishes itself by good grace and favor of others, and forms complex culture and cultural engagement throughout its society. This culture is based on personal pleasure and joy, which is the ultimate goal of beauty. But also, it is through beauty that we can attain that superior quality that we long for. Establishing the meaning of beauty from the aesthetic viewpoint is one of challenging but important aspect in understanding beauty as a whole and will be the solid foundation of aesthetic culture which we will change and improve.
