Understanding the Role of Imagination in Artistic Realism with an Emphasis on Imagination in Acting
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Imagination is a cognitive function that leverages mental images and experiences to expand its scope. This descriptive-analytical study, based on library research, investigates the influence of imagination on artistic realism. The results reveal that imagination plays a crucial role in evoking and empathizing with dramatic characters, indicating that it is not only a vital tool for acting but also an essential skill for character portrayal. In realistic performances, this becomes particularly significant as the actor's performance is rooted in their imagination, making it recognizable and assessable by the audience. Imagination materializes whatever we contemplate. Consequently, the more creative the actor's thoughts and perceptions about the form and nature of objects, the more artistically exceptional the tangible outcome will be, leading to heightened audience engagement.
Keywords: Artistic Realism, Role of Imagination, Mental Images and Experiences, Empathy
