  1. Mid-Point Review 2013-2014June 2013 Ala’a Beseiso

  2. My project proposal is about aesthetic values in art. I believe that nature is the source of all aesthetic experiences in art. I am exploring aesthetics of nature and my work is an investigation of aesthetics of natural effects in nature and man-made objects, and how these visual experiences are reflected by different media. The content of my artworks is important too, therefore I want my audience to experience the complexity of nature explored with paint yet enjoy a journey within the simplicity of the content.

  3. I started with the theoretical aspect, I did some research and did some reading about aesthetics throughout history, resulting in enriching my knowledge. • (Islamic Aesthetics) http://alaabeseiso.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/islamic-austhetics/ • (A Critique of Art and Aesthetics) http://alaabeseiso.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/analysis-on-a-critique-of-rt-and-aesthetics/analysis/ • (Symmetry) http://alaabeseiso.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/symmetry/ • (Aesthetics of Arabic Calligraphy) http://alaabeseiso.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/aesthetics-of-arabic-calligraphy/

  4. Artists who inspired me: - Ismael Shammout: in terms of complexity and detailed work, along with richness of emotions and transparency of intent. • - Victor Wang: outstanding technique and depth of content. • - Khaled Shahin: Arabic calligraphy painting (forms and composition) • - Leonid Afremov’s: brilliancy of colour and the high • contrast level

  5. Secondly, I wanted to enrich my digital knowledge by using a variety of soft wares. This way I was capable to integrate the theoretical aspect with the practical one, so I uploaded three different photo editing soft wares on my mobile along with Photoshop, and took one on one Photoshop tutorials for beginners, documenting every step I learned and applying it into my work. I must say that using digital technology to manipulate my work has been an extremely enjoyable experience, which has allowed me to go beyond any limitations, experiencing unlimited creative options.

  7. Furthermore, I wanted to incorporate Islamic art and Arabic calligraphy into my new work because I am fascinated by its beauty • I learned about Islamic art, Arabic calligraphy, Islamic aesthetics • I practiced writing with different scripts, and I realized that it is not as easy as I thought at all!
