Detailed explanation-1: -mimesis, basic theoretical principle in the creation of art. The word is Greek and means “imitation” (though in the sense of “re-presentation” rather than of “copying”). Plato and Aristotle spoke of mimesis as the re-presentation of nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two key types of mimesis: vocal and behavioral. These are primarily used in literature, as the mimesis art calls upon is more visual in nature, utilizing line, color, light, and composition to create a representation of a thing.
Detailed explanation-3: -In The Poetics, Aristotle deals with mimetic arts, particularly that of poetry. B. The Mimetic Arts In the first chapter of The Poetics, Aristotle identifies arts that are «kinds of mimesis»: painting, sculpture, poetry, dance and music13.
Detailed explanation-4: -In his theory of Mimesis, Plato says that all art is mimetic by nature; art is an imitation of life. He believed that ‘idea’ is the ultimate reality. Art imitates idea and so it is imitation of reality. He gives an example of a carpenter and a chair.
