Beauty in Nature - Assigned Reading of Kant

Kant writes bout how beauty in nature we recognize as art.  And beautiful art is a manifestation of nature.  I feel like when we create something, we are doing it because we are having a desire to express an understanding about something, something that feels real to us.  It is an expression of our understanding of the world.  This is why I think art is a manifestation of nature.  There are these little aesthetic experiences when nature decides to open itself up to us and show us a sliver of beauty.  And our recognition of these moments is what causes us to want to create art and relate these feelings because we all have them.  When I say nature I am not strictly talking about being in "nature".  Nature could mean a beautiful interaction you had with another person, or a certain happiness or connected feeling you experience at thanksgiving or some family gathering.  Athough I think this actually going our into nature can have an especially powerful effect because if there is anything that is a manifestation of reality it is in the natural flow and interconnectedness of the natural world which we are a part of.   I think it is powerful for people who have grown up in the more modern world which cuts us off from certain aspects of relating to the earth.
