For my experience this quarter, I attended a lecture given by Amanda Dalla Villa Adams on Japanese aesthetics. There was a lot less art in this lecture than I thought, but I still thought it was interesting. I had never considered another philosophy to beauty. The idea of wabi, simple/unpretentious, imperfect/irregular, and austere/stark art paired with sabi, or lonely beauty, isn't going to be making an appearance in my work, but it's definitely a nice new perspective to consider. I think I'm too accustomed to western beauty standards to try something that out there. I think it's interesting how different philosophical understandings of beauty originate out of different historical origins, and it'll be a factor I'll consider in studying different art movements.
