Metaphysics
Aristotle puts artist on a petastol at the behind of his metaphysics because we as artist have the drive to create, and at first only the artist is aware of the concept of the work, and just being the first to know gives us understanding of the experience behind the work something that a regular experienced person cannot experience. Aristotle puts metaphysics into categories starting with the nature, then to experience, understanding, and last is reason, the reason backs up understanding. The reason is mathematic, and how it explains the space around us. The relationship between the two is thy art describes the space around us, and math explains the space around us. The two work together to create a harmony in the question of what is reality.
