- Apperceptive Mass – Unique to every individual, is defined as the sum totality of one’s experiences that determines movement or how they will react in a given situation. Art, at any given instance, is the expression of that Apperceptive Mass. And all life is Art, only the medium changes. I see your Art as the story you tell, of how you experienced life, how life has shaped you. Everyone has a story to tell, if you only take the time to listen.
