AoA part two: "Form"

You might notice that the Architecture of Art has a three-split character that is repeated in the smaller parts. The lower of the three parts is the more physical part. The upper of the three parts is the more etheral, or spiritual, part. And the middle part is a sort of energy flow between the two. This is true of the overall view, and it is true of the smaller partitions.

The lower part of the overall view, "form", is that part that makes the idea appear in the physical universe, to make it real to other people than the artist himself. It is the content of the idea as represented in physical materials, and all the associations and connections that immediately appears as soon as something is brought into an already existing universe.

You can create something entirely for yourself, and indeed these are sometimes the finest creations, for they can be without compromise at all, but it will not actually be "art" until it has been exported into physical form for others to see.
