VISUAL ART
TOPIC OBJECTIVES

 After topic 2, students are expected to:

a. Identify the categories of art
b. Perform the categories of art
c. Appreciate art in different senses
INTRODUCTION

 Art may express in different ways. Art is everywhere. It can

be God-made or man-made. Also, Visual art can be
identified in some categories and classifications.
ASSUMPTION OF ART

 There are principles and bases of appreciating a work of

art since it is in art that man can communicate one’s
individuality and way of life.
ART IS UNIVERSAL

 Art is everywhere; wherever men have lived together, art

has sprung up among them as language charged with
feelings and significance. The desire to create this language
appears to be general, and art as cultural force can be
pervasive and potent. Art has no limit, and it rises above
cultures, races, and civilization. It is timeless because it
goes beyond the time of our own experience.
ART IS NOT NATURE

 Art is man-made; it is a creation of man utilizing his thoughtful skill and

artistry, which undergoes process and planning. Art is artificial because it is
just an imitation or even an appropriation of reality and nature. It is a
representation of ideas, thought and feelings that are communicated in
creative and artistic ways. Art that is created by God is divine, and art that is
created by man is superficial or temporary. Works of art are made by artists
to adore the wonders of life and the beauty of God’s creation.
 Art can never be natural because it is momentary in the
constant transformation of change; it does not change by
itself unless manipulated by its creator, which is man. Artists
could make any work of art, but they definitely could not
form nature. From man’s experiences, we cannot even
compare Art with Nature because it is something
mysterious, and it is made by the Divine Providence whose
depth and mystery is beyond human understanding.

ART INVOLVES EXPERIENCE

Art is depiction of our experiences. It demands taking part. Art

involves laying of pigments, moulding of clay, chipping of marble,
casting of bronze, constructing of building, singing of songs,
playing roles on stage, acting and going through rhythmic
movements in a dance.
Every art does something with some physical material, the body
or something outside the body; thus, the only way to find
conviction and assertion is through immersion in the Arts. We can
only appreciate art if we spend time to look at it, listen to it, touch
it, and feel its presence.
