Conclusions 00
Beauty and art are an expression that is not subject to the sensory perception represented in the mind in addition to mental perception or understanding, as it is subject to conscience.
Symbol is one of the important tools in expression. Expression varies according to time and place, as the artist seeks to develop effective solutions to the problems of society through symbols and connotations according to his aesthetic experience
