Poetika

Aristotle

3.58 AVERAGE


This is the most trascendental book of art in time.

It's not just about Greek works and poetics alone. It's about all forms of art out there
You could apply any of the concepts describe in Aristotle's notes to cinema, animation, books, music, painting, photography etc. But, it's centantly most dedicated to the arts derivative from writing.

One of the "must read" books if u want to be a great artist, and if you want to truly understand art itself.

Im not sure why I tried, obviously my brain is not enough to read something this complicated lol I rated it 5 because Who am I to rate Aristotle lower? 

don’t know how I’m even supposed to rate this book bc it’s just?? such an important piece of writing?? some of the points r quite outdated and disagreeable now ofc that’s understandable bc of the time it was written but it’s just crazy to think that this was written thousands of years ago and it’s literally still being used as a guide for plays, films, etc. to this day n something that probably everyone in the field of theatre/film needs to study at least once. really wish i had read it sooner bc this would’ve helped A TON during my previous years of script analysis :// also am convinced plato is lowkey in love with homer bruv...mans can’t stop gushin bout him
informative fast-paced
