ART
It takes an artist to make an art. One may perceive beauty on daily basis. However, not every
beautiful thing that can be see or experienced may truly be called a work of art. Not everyone
can be considered an artist, but all are spectators of art. We are able to distinguish what is fine
and from what is not and what is good quality from poor.

ART APPRECIATION AS A WAY OF LIFE

“The role of art is to depict the world in a completely different light and perspective” - Jean-Paul
Sartre
 Each artwork behold beauty in its own kind, the kind that the artist sees and wants the
viewers to perceive.
 More often than not, some people are blind to see the real beauty in it and those who have
developed a sense of appreciation will experience and see the true meaning of that art as
the way that the artist did.
 Learning to appreciate art no matter what vocation you have will lead to a fuller and more
meaningful life.

The Role of Creativity in Art Making

In art, creativity is what sets apart one artwork from another.
When can we say that something is creative?
 When we have not seen anything like that
 When it is out of the ordinary.
 When it is not just a copy of
limitation of someone’s work.
THERE IS ORIGINALITY!!

ART AS A PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION, IMAGINATION AS A PRODUCT OF ART

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and
understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and
understand.” – Albert Einstein.
In the same way that imagination produces art, art also inspire imagination as vise-versa.
ARTS AS EXPRESSION
“What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it, but express it. Through expression, he is
able to explore his own emotions and at the same time, create something beautiful out of them.”-
Robin George Collingwood
 expressing emotions is different from describing emotions.
