Abstract:
|
It is my belief that an artist has a moral responsibility to produce an authentic experience for a given audience. Artistic integrity refers to the idea that a work should inherently contain true and authentic qualities that allow the audience to pleasurably experience. In today‘s animated film, television, and game industries, what is considered to be an authentic experience is questionable.
Romanticization of animated works and related media is a large factor in determining how today‘s visual arts help us identify authentic experiences. What is determined as authentic corresponds to a real aesthetic experience in which we recognize as "pleasurable." The "romanticization" of an experience reconstructs a memory to make an already pleasurable experience seem that much better, thus confusing its original artistic integrity.
There is much discourse centered on the authenticity of an aesthetic experience, whether it is objective or subjective, real or imagined, cognitive or sublime. Discussed in this thesis is a qualitative analysis on the role memory plays in the judgment of an authentic experience. There will also be a discussion on the philosophies of aesthetic judgment as well as the ideologies drafted by Romantic Era artists in order to contend that aesthetic integrity is first formed by the inspiration of sublime feeling and can be later expressed through the animated form.
