A Study on Emotions Expressed in the Aesthetics of the Mind

Abstract

This study is to examine whether the feelings of joy, anger, sadness, and joy were expressed as the aesthetics of the mind by approaching Wang Yangming's aesthetics as a category of art education. To this end, art classes were applied to art majors at universities, and through the analysis criteria for works, students' understanding of the aesthetics of the mind and whether originality, the core of the aesthetics of the mind, was expressed as a level of painting. As a result, it was confirmed that various elements of action originated from the intuitive mind, and aesthetic objects and aesthetic interests interact to diagnose the inner world and to be self-sufficient by the action of the body of the mind, resulting in original and unique aesthetics, that is, strange aesthetics. In addition, it is possible to confirm the establishment of subjectivity, practical, reflective, and self-reflection that one realizes and obtains through internal awareness according to the main body of the mind. The aesthetics of the mind can be said to be the most basic major concept to be recognized in art education. The aesthetic value of the mind is moral, practical, and self-sufficient education, and it can be confirmed that their mutual relationship can be linked to the emotion of art education. Therefore, Wang Yangming's aesthetic of mind can be said to be an educational philosophy suitable for basic education in the present era, which is being transitioned to a value-respecting society. In addition, all emotions expressed from the heart are a source of creativity, suggesting the possibility that they can be linked to the orientation of basic education in art and to liberal arts or aesthetic education.
