In search of new inspirations, I decided to run tests with the "Midjourney" AI program that creates the image. The wizard, or rather the programmer, creates a task for the program using keywords with which the AI creates an image. The results exceeded my wildest expectations. I came to the conclusion that we are really limited in this cooperation by our vocabulary and imagination. The program made a great impression on me. I've been very skeptical about using such programs to create visual art. However, after many hours of experimentation, I came to the conclusion that the program has great...

When considering the aesthetics of gastronomy, one can focus on at least three separate, though closely interrelated, and sometimes overlapping dimensions. The first would consist of various, often complex processes, methods, goals, criteria, and experiences related to the preparation of food and drinks. The way of serving food and drinks (including necessary utensils such as crockery and cutlery) could also be included here.We could call this dimension the "art of cuisine" and specify food preparation and serving. The second tier of aesthetic research and discussion would focus on the food products themselves and would include their properties relevant to aesthetic...

Dewey based his pedagogical system on instrumentalism, a direction of pragmatism initiated by Charles Peirce and disseminated by William James. It consisted of understanding experience as the essence of truth - what works as true is true. Experience is the source of gaining and verifying knowledge, hence the slogan of learning by doing was developed in his school of work. The school was modeled on a self-sufficient household, where children performed various crafts and household activities. The emphasis was on practical and manual activity. The main goal of the school was to stimulate the innate abilities of children, interests, enriching...

Pierre Bourdieu (1930–2002) was a French sociologist and public intellectual. Bourdieu's contributions to the sociology of education, the theory of sociology, and the sociology of aesthetics have had a wide impact in several related academic fields (e.g. anthropology, media and cultural studies, education, popular culture, and the arts). In his academic career, he was associated primarily with the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences in Paris and the Collège de France. Bourdieu's work was primarily concerned with the dynamics of power in society, especially the diverse and subtle ways in which power is transferred and the maintenance of social order...
