The Garden as an Aesthetic Object
Svobodová, Lucie ; Dadejík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kaplický, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis is centred around the problematics of a garden as a unique aesthetic object. First, it will define what is considered an aesthetic object, and try to define and set boundaries for the term garden. Gardens are in their essence very ambivalent, because they are a fusion of nature and human activity. This thesis will therefore introduce arguments for placing gardens in the same category as nature or art (a human product that is created intentionally and consciously). It will then pose the question if gardens can be considered art, as well as how to aesthetically appreciate a garden. Finally, the thesis will try to answer the question "can gardeners be considered artists?" and how we should be reflecting the process of art - or garden - creation, so that we could consider gardeners artists. The objective of this thesis is to describe the uniqueness of a garden as an aesthetic object, and introduce its unique qualities. Keywords Garden, aesthetic object, art, nature, environmental aesthetics, aesthetic experience
