The bed in the real world is a commonly shared perception of what a bed should look like. We form ideas of what something should be based upon what we see in the physical world, not what something actually is. Plato believes that the way things appear in the physical world are not actually the true form of that item . In The Republic, he says “As they are, or as they appear.” “You still have to determine this”, which touches on the idea that the physical form of something simply being a depiction of what we are trained to believe. I believe that art tests this depitction. It can throw something at us that can catch us completely off guard. Art tends to stretch the idea of what we know as reality. It can give us a false image of what something supposedly looks like or the form it takes.

I like your point about art! I do think it is fascinating how art can stretch us and open up new doors of experience. This last semester I took an Art 300 class and it was interesting to be able to understand the new perspectives or experiences that the artist had gone through or their intepreation of a world event.
