Here is an initial list of questions to consider. They frame our journey and the treasure of insights we hope to uncover:
How do we perceive the arts? How do people model it? What works have been useful?
What is the value of the arts in human culture?
How DO we understand and appreciate the arts? What are the dimensions of that experience?
How can we develop aesthetic awareness?
What makes aesthetic awareness different from other forms of consciousness?
How do different art forms stimulate aesthetic awareness? How does that awareness gestate into MEANING?
What makes aesthetic awareness hard to sustain? How can we build up those perceptual muscles?
