I learned about “wall of feelings” from a book; it was described as a release outlet of feelings- all the good and the bad ones, and I think that the times I've used this are my personal experiences of catharsis. The wall of feelings is literally a wall with nails (or pins) stuck to it so one can throw paint-filled balloons towards it. Whenever I feel overwhelming emotions, I take water balloons and fill it with paint and I throw that to the wall of feelings. My most memorable wall of feelings experience was when I almost failed my entrepreneurship final exam which I studied so hard for; I went straight to the wall of feelings to throw the “paint balloons” and right then and there, it did help me calm down. I consider the wall of feelings as a healthy way of coping with overwhelming emotions instead of pouring my feelings out to people which may hurt them.

More examples of art that contains a physical function are woodworking or carving and pottery.

For me, a personal experience with Catharsis would be me doing origami cranes in class at times whenever I felt overwhelmed. I tend to fidget a lot and lose focus, but doing origami always helped me calm down and release the extra tension.

I do not fully agree with his theory, however, I accept that does does make sense. It is just that for me, the inspiration for an art piece does not necessarily have to exist physically for it to be considered worthy of being “imitated” into art. Some art pieces that I enjoy covey feelings- such as that from artists whose art stem from the emotions that they are feeling in that moment- and I think that it is as good of a piece as those that depict physical reality.

That day, I was feeling particularly stressed out thinking of upcoming deadlines as well as my future. I needed to take a break. And when I'm usually on a break and trying to relax, I read. But this time, I couldn't concentrate on anything but what was stressing me out. So I took out a canvas and started drawing and painting while listening to music. This calmed me down and helped me relax.

I do believe in the theory of mimesis, because even the most abstract of artworks stem from concrete thoughts and emotions. Even looking past that, abstraction in itself builds on subtracting realism from, well, reality, essentially imitating reality in a very unique way.

I agree with his theory because I think life is mostly the major inspiration for artworks. It may look different or far from our everyday life but the essence of it as somewhat or came from life itself

I agree with the theory because everything has meaning to it, it all just depends on the person and how they receive certain aspects of life. And with art, it all reflects real life and the buyer of maker of art made or bought it because it has meaning to them on a deeper level than some people.

When I was overthinking late at night, I decided to write my thoughts into a piece of paper and realized that this would make a great poem. I also think that literature is also a form of art, despite not having visually pleasing images, literature makes you imagine, makes you think, and same as any form of art, it makes you feel.

Since I am more on the side of appreciating art rather than indulging myself in the process, an experience of catharsis for me is when I watch my favorite anime shows. As a kid, I was always addicted to cartoons and basically any 2D show because I really loved seeing various art styles of characters on screen, especially knowing the process before was to draw the animations frame by frame. I have brought this appreciation for 2D art to the present and it has been my therapy ever since.

My personal catharsis is really just doing art, drawing (digitally) or listening to music. Both draws me into it into a state where I can really just ignore anything that's happening around me, so it's stress relieving.

One personal experience I had with Catharsis was when I was at a low point during the quarantine and wanted to release my anger in away that I won't hurt myself. Because of this, I was told to release through working out. It was difficult at first but I was able to get the hang of it along the way. At the same time, I found the time to play video games as a way to overcome that certain feeling.

One example of the physical function of art that I can think is interior design. Interior design aims to designate furnitures and fixtures in a way that aesthetically and functionally pleases. It gives freedom to the designer and the client to have their designs unique to them, which in turn also serves as a way to express their creative side.

There is some merit to this theory but as we can see in contemporary art it has become more of an expression than just imitating a person or object in front of you.

My most memorable time of catharsis was when I was about to compete in a swim meet. I was so anxious that I couldn't stand because of a stomachache. After swimming , I was able to get rid of my anxiety, I realized I wasn't anxious anymore because I swam. This made me confident, so I was able to swim in the other sets.

Yes, I believe that reality is dictated by common ideas between a majority. The theory of Mimesis states that art imitates reality and ideas make up what reality is which in turn makes art as the ideas of creative people put into a creative medium that is often put up to different interpretations.

Back in Grade 9, I remember feeling frustrated and tired one day. I then tried to release my emotions by scribbling on my notebook using a variety of colors. The strokes were very dark and hard on the paper, showcasing my insurmountable feelings. Because of that, it didn’t look pleasant; it was completely the opposite of that. However, I believe that I felt catharsis because of this experience as I instantly felt relieved and calm after releasing my emotions.

Knowing myself as a soft person, I often cry on difficult times or I should say all the time. This is my way of expressing my sadness, happiness, and sometimes anger. I always seek for help and comfort from my parents and friends in which helps me overcome the hindrances that I'm experiencing.

# data[].attributes.body
There have been multiple occasions wherein I felt stressed over schoolwork, parents' validation, fights in relationships, etc., and I just spend some time to be alone, think, cry :>>, and pray to the Lord, which definitely calms me down and strengthens me.

My personal experience of CATHARSIS was when I was angry because I fought with one of my friends. I was able to apply catharsis by listening to music and by playing some games. Through this, I was able to release all of my anger.

Personally, I think that the theory of mimesis is true to an extent. It is true in the sense that some art is a mimicry of the environment around us, what we take in in our daily lives and how our minds interpret this input. But I also think that there are some forms of art that, although are inspired by different aspects of the world around us, are purely born out of the creativity and ingenuity of an artist.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree with Plato’s Theory of Mimesis, albeit not entirely. His theory states that all art mimics life; that art aims to resemble our ideas of reality. I believe that art is an expression of ourselves. Our experiences, our beliefs, and our whole sense of self. The things that we love, and the things that we hate. The people we have in our lives, the memories we share with them, the actions that we do everyday; all these serve as inspiration for what we want to express and share with others in the form of art. However, some art also stems from our own imaginations and thinking, so this theory does not apply to all.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the Plato's Theory of Mimesis as I have noticed that humanity's earlier art was based on life forms with implied ideas. As we go back to ancient Egypt art, they mostly drew animals with human bodies as a reflection of their religion and beliefs. As art evolved into the present, we still see artworks imitating the beauty of nature made by God.

When I was overwhelmed with emotions like sadness, anger, and hopelessness, I grabbed by ukulele and tuned it. I played some chords I was already familiar with and arranged them the way it satisfies me. With no prepared lyrics, I played what I arranged; lyrics suddenly went out of my mouth, containing the feelings restrained inside of me. This was one personal experience I remember of catharsis.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the theory of Mimesis as art is really just an application of real life things, whether it be drawing clouds, railways and other things. But along with this as well not agree fully as there are others that yes, take inspiration from life but more of their inspiration can also come from their mind to make it their own creation and what concoction they can make. They can draw a lizard, add a second tail, perhaps another head or buff up their arms and what not.

Metal work has been something I have been interested before, from blacksmiths, to fancy metal bars in staircases. All of them are forms of physical art since it also requires proper technique and procedure.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with the Theory of Mimesis by Plato. I admit that this theory makes sense but not all art works are mimetic by nature or an imitation of life. Some artworks are made through an artist's imaginations. For example, mermaids. It isn't real but someone can make an art through this.

An experience of catharsis for me was when I was having troubles with my social life. A problem had just come up and I didn't know how to handle, act and react to it. As a way of putting out stress and relaxing myself, I would go out of the house with my ball and cleats to play football and train on a nearby open field

Woodwork, the way it can be implemented is very similar to more traditional sculptures, with the medium itself potentially allowing for even more intricacy than its inspiration.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Plato's Theory of Mimesis because I believe that Art differs from people to people. I also think that everyone is different and that no one is the same as with the other. It is true that we get ideas from nature, life, and everything that surrounds us but the application of art itself is very different. Art is unique because it can be interpreted by anyone in any way they like and understand so I do not fully support this Theory of Plato.

During Grade 9, I was stressed with the amount of homeworks and Long tests that were given to us espicially with the research projects and in order to release those pent up feelings I went out with my friends and played sports in order to tire my body and all those feelings disappeared soon as I slept and rested.

# data[].attributes.body
In Plato's Theory of Mimesis, he stated that art is just an imitation or a copy of reality. He also expressed that God is the main creator of true forms in life, hence art is just an imitation of those forms. I agree with this notion.

Everyone often describes art as the medium to communicate one's ideas, perception, and imagination. We use art to produce beauty and power by combining our creativity with how we see the real world. In simpler terms, art comes from our ideas. Our ideas, on the other hand, came from our perception of the things in this world. Therefore, art is the fruit of imitating reality combined with our imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because for me, art is not limited as an imitation of life. Some people use art to create for themselves a different order of reality from that which is given to them. This is a reason why there is abstract art. But, I agree that art can also be an imitation of nature and life.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the theory of mimesis because most if not all famous artworks were based on other artworks. For example, paintings of Jesus were based on other paintings of Jesus, which is why most painting we have of Jesus are similar.

My personal experience of Catharsis was when I had this bothering feeling about someone which I just can't seem to voice out. My frustration resulted in overthinking and I just kept thinking about it for days. Until I decided to talk to my best friend who was very understanding throughout our small talk. And due to that venting, I felt some sort of relief to have someone listen to my thoughts without judging me. I also learned a lot from that person regarding my issue. She suggested several things that I can do, too. And after that, I just went to eat ice cream and sing songs which I then feel like I was released from that nagging feeling.

Yes, I do believe in this theory since I also observed it form time to time. Artists often mimic things that are natural and they always make it as real as possible which is really impressing. They sometimes make it their own way or impression of how they see things which I think is considered the essence of art.

I personally agree with the Theory of Mimesis because I believe that artworks are created as a result of experiences in life. I think that this also applies to the most abstract pieces because the portrayal of certain emotions or messages are still inspired by an artist's real life experiences.

I have always been interested in art. I learned how to draw and color before I learned how to write and read. I was never without a crayon when I was a toddler. As I got older, I slowly lost my interest in art, thinking too much about how other people would perceive my works. I soon realized that I am my harshest critic and the people that matter will support my endeavors regardless of my output. My catharsis was realizing that art really is a learning process, the only way to improve is to try and fail and with that, I am falling in love with art again.

I don't fully agree with the Theory of Mimesis since art is an expression of numerous things. Not only does it imitate life forms around us but also imitate what humans feel. Over the years, humans have found different ways to express their own emotions through abstract painting or simply drawing what they feel.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the theory since I believe that art is the product of a person's ideas, thoughts, and feelings. When we express ourselves through art, we show our own perspective on life, which is formed through the things we experience in our everyday lives.

Beads, strings, sequins and small rolled papers are just examples of materials that can be used in making beaded jewelry, which I think is a 3-dimensional art.  With these materials, one can make various patterns for the jewelry.  This is a way of expressing one’s sense of design and fashion.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I think that the Theory of Mimesis is somewhat true. There are a lot of contributory outside factors that could be imitated into art; the beauty of life, as cliche as it sounds, is art in itself. However, I do disagree with it to some extent. I believe that something doesn’t have to exist just to be called “art.” There are artists who do abstract art, wherein the meaning is completely subjective and arbitrary. Artists could also produce different forms of art through their own ideas as they create their own worlds through various media.

The 3-dimensional medium that is close to my heart is food flat-lay. It takes a lot of effort and skill to carefully map out the placement of the different elements; having to flat-lay different ingredients and/or products.

New technologies might be invented to create a bigger version of a 3D Pen, I have seen videos where people make all sorts of things using a 3D Pen where they draw small bridges on rocks, a mini Eiffel Tower and the like. Wood can also be used as a medium for sculptures and other carving artworks. Using the malleability of metal, making sculptures from it as a medium would require hard work but some dedicated artists can still use it to present their ideas.

I personally agree with Plato's Theory of Mimesis. The theory states that Art is an imitation of life, meaning that it is inspired from nature, and other life forms. If we look back at several historical art works, many of such are inspired from reality such as the painting of The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa.

Although I somewhat agree with this theory in the way that a lot of artists do take inspiration from real life, I also have to disagree. Plato claimed in his theory that art was just an imitation of real life, and therefore was only an illusion of truth or unreal. Aristotle, in response to it, said that art doesn't just mimic the muse, but adds something more to it, becoming more than just an imitation or an illusion of truth, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. A lot of art is grounded in reality sure, but there's something raw in art that reality can't quite mimic. Take Frida Kahlo's the bus for example, it's a simple imagery we would normally pass by in reality, but in the art, there's something raw and pained to it that draws our attention to it more than the reality does. In other words, for me, art isn't just an imitation of life, it's like a reimagination of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that another form of art with physical function is today's modern technology. While technology is built upon science and logic, art still plays a part in its final form as it must be usable by us humans and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. As technology continues to evolve, the overall design that appeals to us all is thanks to art.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that this theory is true sometimes but not all the time. Yes, a lot of artworks are imitations of life but there are also other artworks that come straight out of the genuine creative mind of the artist. Meaning, the art created may also not be an imitation of life, rather a product of the mind/world of the artist.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the theory of mimesis because usually, art is a product of the emotions of an artist, which develop through what happens in our environment. With this being said, even abstract art can be about life because it may show things that are happening in the artist's life, or what the artist feels about certain things.

I don't fully agree with Plato's theory of mimesis since I believe that not all art is mimetic by nature. Of course there are various art forms that are inspired by real life but that doesn't mean that everything is mimetic.

One of my ideas when it comes to physical function in arts is creating handicrafts made out of recycled materials. I always believe that art has a purpose on humanity and that by using recycled material to make handicrafts like baskets, bags, shoes, and many more, we are not only providing needs of the people but also helping lessen the contemporary issues we are dealing like climate change, global warming, flash floods, and more.
