Question 2

Question 1

The 3 stages from reality to art

Answer 1

the idea, the tangible form (prototype), and the image made by artists

Question 2

True form

Answer 2

This is the idea/concept of something that doesn’t exist in this tangible world. He sometimes refers to this as what God made.

Question 3

Art is harmful

Answer 3

Art deceives people and distracts people from reality. Artists do not fully understand what they imitate otherwise they would be exploring the 1st/2nd forms. And while a person might be able to tell reality from imitations, there is no one who knows everything. So, art shares misconceptions about the subject, leading people further from the true form.

Question 4

Modern example

Answer 4

Photography especially in the beauty industry. Photoshopping body parts, using filters, or even different poses/angles creates unrealistic ideas of how a healthy body should/can be, leading to harmful practices like EDs and overworking to achieve this imitation instead of working towards actually having a healthy body.
