A 7000 year old Japon pot from Japan in the British Museum is an example of the oldest known pottery in the world.

It is about the size of a child’s sand bucket and is made of coils of clay layered around and pressed with fiber so that the end result looks like a basket which is with what they were familiar.

Even at that primitive time there was an inner need to add aesthetics to an item that was totally utilitarian and they did it at their level of consciousness.

It is an historic example which shows that human beings desire a level of beauty to their surroundings.

As we live in the 21st century with a more highly developed level of intelligence, knowledge, and unlimited sources and methods of physical manifestations, at what level is your aesthetic consciousness and how do you express beauty in your surroundings?

Food for thought.
