Berger began by talking about the white bird and the steps it takes to make it, he goes on to saying that those unfamiliar with the process want to pick it up and check it out, to see the secrets of its making. He describes the making process how they are made of wood, and soaked in water than carved, only using one nail to keep it together. He was describing the qualities of the bird that people would find the most aesthetic emotion.
I agree with Berger when he says that he reduced aesthetics to art, I believe many people do this. People don't see the relation between art and the world or nature. I to believe that one can experience aesthetic emotion with the nature we live in. Berger defines art as hope for people, to bring the peace and make them feel one with nature.
What stuck out most for me was when Berger says "Art is an organized response to what nature allows us to glimpse occasionally." It makes me feel like people don't take in the aesthetics of their surroundings enough, so we don't see everything that nature does, we just see what it wants us too.
