Natural art

What we find beautiful says much about us individually and something about our education and cultural affiliation, but most about humanity as one species on earth that has developed sensibility in this area. Other living entities might also develop or have developed a capacity for appreciating beauty itself, but we know little about that in the twenty first century.

Classic Greek civilization upheld truth, beauty and goodness as the universal values of humanity. These concepts were their beacons for meaning of life, dedication of effort and the educational foundation for the safeguarding of civilization.

People learn art appreciation; they are not born with the attribute. Similarly children should be assisted to admire and respect nature at an early age as an important educational objective.
