1. Aristotle believed that imitation is part of human experience. The artist can freely imitates what he sees on nature but he should strictly observe the unity of form he imitates. Aristotle relates form as the necessary and natural part of an object. It contradicts to what Plato's definition of form is which is ideal.
2. Aristotle and Plato differs in the way they relate imitation to beauty. For Plato, beauty is an idea and an abstract that is important in understanding the natural world. For Aristotle, beauty is real and can be seen in the structure and function of the form itself.
