Nature – As a Sourse of Inspiration to Artists & Designers (In Comparison to Science)

Kashyap Parikh

Abstract :

As we all know, one of the basic tenets of Indian perception is that all objects animate or inanimate, have come from one single source and everything is interrelated. Artists have always taken themes from that part of the natural environment most bound up in their continued existence. A later development is the appreciation of natural form for its own sake, an idea given special fulfillment in the art of the Orient. Thus our culture produces men and women trained to see a form with keen discrimination, and since artists too must learn to see, they can be helped by the study of the natural entity or its image. We define art as man–made, natural form is not the form of art. But our environment does produce visual material which embodies some of the structural principles artists use in their work. This is valuable. Some of the forms we find can be introduced directly into the design process. This is valuable. And of course a curiosity about the structure of our environment is an enriching resource in life.
