| | Introduction to Theatre -- Theatre Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28) |
 | | Fine arts: literature, politics, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance -- the traditional wisdom says that we cannot really be taught to DO art, but we can be taught to appreciate art. |
 | | It can help shape our perceptions (which comes through our emotions, imaginations, and intellect -- in art, experience is presented, not necessarily explained -- the audience can be involved directly; therefore, art is different from history, philosophy, science, etc.). |
 | | It is a state in which we view art objectively, while paradoxically empathizing with the characters and events on stage. |
