Dewey's Art as Experience

John Dewey’s "Art as Experience" suggests that art is not just a finished product, but an active process of engaging and connecting with it. He believes meaningful art arises from genuine, sensory involvement—like feeling, seeing, and interpreting—during the creative process and when experiencing it. Art, in Dewey’s view, is about human expression and shared understanding that occurs through ongoing interactions between the artist, the work, and the audience. This perspective emphasizes the importance of appreciating art as a living, dynamic experience that enriches our perception and connects us to deeper human values.
