Beauty is one’s perspectives; it is perfection in terms

of symmetry and balance; when something is

pleasurable and exudes happiness. (Ang, 2018, p.5)

Beauty is being confident with a heart. (Wurtzbach,

2015)

Beautiful things are things in order, things with

precision, purpose and proportion; likewise, there

are no mistakes in beautiful things--- everything is

appropriate, interesting, relevant and perfect”.

(Zulueta (2006, p.4)

Appreciation of beauty is one of the main concerns

of the arts; All the arts that we see and hear have a

purpose as well as expression; they occupy some

place in our judgement (Zulueta, 2006, p.3)

The Artist/s- creator of beauty; the artists are either

creators or performers; they are persons who exhibit

exceptional skills in design, drawing, painting, or

acting; they could be fashion designers, web designers,

multi-media designers, singers, composers, dancers,

architects, sculptures, industrial designers, international

designers, performance artists (spoken words).

Every artist should make improvement or help

seek improvement for the benefit of the society;

every artist should manifest his desire to help

improve the life of the people and society

through his/her art works. (Ferraro, 2008, p. 5)
