Abstract

Research Summary

The current research (the aesthetics of using organic forms in contemporary ceramics) studies how nature affects the formation of the artist's artistic image, and how to employ it in constructing the artwork, through how the artist perceives the components of the artist's mental image. These forms and how they are formed in his imagination, including mental, structural and artistic features. In addition to its sensual image, the employment of such works of art depends on formulating the organic pattern of natural forms and giving the artistic image a conceptual dimension on the one hand, and on the other hand to show the power of nature over the entity.

Based on the nature of the subject of the study, the research was divided into four chapters, the first chapter of which included the research problem, its importance and the need for it, and the research objective (the aesthetics of using organic forms in contemporary ceramics). The chapter also included the time limits (2000 - 2022) for contemporary ceramics. done in the world, and also included identifying the most important search terms. The second chapter dealt with the theoretical framework and previous studies. It consisted of three sections. The first topic included (beauty in modern and contemporary philosophical thought), while the second topic dealt with (mechanisms of employing organic forms in contemporary art), and the third topic provided an explanation of (the diversity of organic forms applied in contemporary ceramics). The chapter ended with indicators of the theoretical framework and previous studies. The third chapter included the research procedures, as it included the framework of the research community, which amounted to (145) models, from which a sample was extracted in an intentional way. The limits of the research by adopting the descriptive approach to analyze the research sample.

The fourth chapter included the results, their discussion, research conclusions, recommendations and suggestions that expressed ideas and contents based on aesthetic applications to employ organic forms in contemporary ceramics. Among the most important findings of the researcher:
