Any shape is interesting

Art theory should be based on the activity of seeing a thing in everyday life.
Seeing any shape gives him a certain pleasure , which makes him seeing a thing unintentionally.
Each shape gives him different pleasant feeling.

The problem is that most human stops using this faculty of seeing for its own sake in daily life.
Educated persons are so conditioned that they can hardly spear time for seeing without purpose.
Only few like 3 months old babies, real artists and persons of pleasure can use such ability easily.
Though such ability may look unpractical,it helped the evolutionary process: the one who has curiosity of seeing more than the other can find more food and avoid danger.
This faculty is found not only in human but in more primitive organisms.

The faculty works automatically when a maker produces any artifact.
This is why artifact has functional beauty.
When the object has efficient function and the formal beauty is noticeable,the maker can handle the shape more playfully.
When the copy is reproduced according to the established sample,this is the beginning of applied art.
Some people may want an artifact not for initial purpose but for the appearance.
The work becomes fine art.

Any object can be beautiful unintentionally, which means art is not communicational but informational.
Being so-called fine art does not promise to be pure art.
We see few good works in the contemporary art scene.

People expect pictures in a museum being fine art but they are applied art: applied for the demand of the contemporary art world.
   artifact=usefulness+shape
This simplified equation is convenient to explain where the beauty lies.
The usefulness can be communicational when the artist wants to express his idea.
It can be commercial made for the demand of the art market.
It can be functional as archtecture is.
It can be illustrative like religious painting and historical painting.
Such usefulness lasts for certain time.
It is durative,therefore historical.
The history of spoon can be studied by art historians.

The shape lasts even when the use is forgotten and nothing written about it is found.
Negro sculpture was in such state when Picasso found it.
It is like a shell on sea shore.
Art has been mostly made as by-product represented on the shape.

As the study of medicinal effect of herb is not the business of botanist but of chemist,
the study of shape is not the business of art historian but of a new kind of grammarian who studies shape.
Any shape is geometrical , which makes the study easy.
