Art Vision

Arts Vision was founded by former Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative

Society manager Sakumi Matsuda as an independent corporation in 1984.
The studio became famous in the 1990s during a boom time in the popularity of voice
actors, or voice-over acting. At its peak, the studio employed many of Japan's most
popular voice actors, who became known as "Seiyū Idols." In 1997, however, many of
those popular young performers moved to I'm Enterprise, a subsidiary agency also
managed by Matsuda. Since that time few new performers have joined Arts Vision.
In 2003 Chihiro Suzuki and Masumi Asano moved from I'm Enterprise to Arts Vision,
but in subsequent years the trend has been in the opposite direction, with artists such
asYukari Tamura and Natsuko Kuwatani moving from Arts Vision to I'm Enterprise.

Definition of Humanities.
In its definition of the humanities, Congress includes:
Archaeology
Comparative Religion
Ethics
History
Languages & Linguistics
Literature
Jurisprudence
Philosophy
History, Theory, and Criticism of the Arts
Aspects of the Social Sciences Which Use Historical or Philosophical Approach
Humanities, General and Interdisciplinary

The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and the words that help us make sense of our
lives and our world. The humanities introduce us to people we have never met, places we
have never visited, and ideas that may have never crossed our minds. By showing how
others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us decide what is important
in our own lives and what we can do to make them better. By connecting us with other
people, they point the way to answers about what is right or wrong, or what is true to our
heritage and our history. The humanities help us address the challenges we face together
in our families, our communities, and as a nation.

The humanities should not be confused with "humanism," a specific philosophical belief,
nor with "humanitarianism," the concern for charitable works and social reform.

As fields of study, the humanities emphasize analysis and exchange of ideas rather than
the creative expression of the arts or the quantitative explanation of the sciences.

1. History, Anthropology, and Archaeology study human social, political, and

cultural development.
2. Literature, Languages, and Linguistics explore how we communicate with each
other, and how our ideas and thoughts on the human experience are expressed and
interpreted.
3. Philosophy, Ethics, and Comparative Religion consider ideas about the meaning
of life and the reasons for our thoughts and actions.
4. Jurisprudence examines the values and principles which inform our laws.
5. Historical, Critical, and Theoretical Approaches to the Arts reflect upon and
analyze the creative process.

Definition of arts -the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination,
typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be
appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Functions of arts
Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities, usually
involving imaginative or technical skill. In their most general form these activities
include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art,
and the aesthetic dissemination of art. This article focuses primarily on the visual arts,
which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting,
sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often
included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the
creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that
they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and
other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are
included in a broader definition of art or the arts.[1] Until the 17th century, art referred to
any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage
after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are
separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative
or applied arts.

Methods of presenting the art subject.

Introduction
Certain methods of presenting arts are employed in order for it to be effective.
In presenting his subject, the artists uses different methods to express the idea he wants
to make clear. The following are the commonly used methods in presenting the subjects
of arts:

Realism
Abstraction
Symbolism
Fauvism
Dadaism
Futurism
Surrealism

Realism
It is the attempt to portray the subject as is. The artist selects, changes, and arranges
details to express the idea he wants to make clear.
The artist main function is to describe accurately what is observed through the senses.

Examples of realism ARTS

Giora Eshkol (Daydreaming)
Willem ClaeszHeda (Banquet Piece with Mince Pie)

abstract
It means to move away or separate. Abstract art moves away from showing things as they
really are.
The art work is not realistic.

Types of abstract art

Distortion. The subject is in misshaped condition.
Elongation. The subject is lengthened for protraction or extension.
Mangling, Subjects are either cut, lacerated, mutilated or hacked.
Cubism. Subjects are shown in basic geometrical shapes.

Samples of abstract art

Mary Capan (Title Unknown)
Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night)

symbolism
The presentation of an invisible sign such as an idea or a quality into something visible.
Sample of Symbolism
Author Unknown (Memento Mori)

fauvism
Themes are either ethical, philosophical or psychological. Subjects express comfort, joy
or happiness.
Sample of Fauvist Art work
Japanese Propaganda poster during ww II

Dadaism
A protest movement formed in 1916 by a group of artist in Zurich, Switzerland. They try
to provoke the public with outrageous forms of arts.
Came from the French word “dada” meaning “hobby horse”.

Futurism
Its’ works aims to capture the speed and force of modern industrial society and to glorify
the mechanical energy of modern life.

surrealism
Founded in Paris in 1924 by French poet Andre Breton.
It tries to reveal a new and higher reality than that of daily life. They claim to create a
magical world more beautiful than the real one through art.
It came from the slang of super realism.
Sample of Surrealism

 Criteria for judging a good work of arts.

1.The Presence of a Gift

Is giftedness from God evident in the work of a particular composer or performer of
music, poet or novelist, painter, sculptor, or filmmaker? We should ask this question
about the presence of giftedness for all artists, whether Christian or not.

2.Development of the God-Granted Gift

We should look for the dedicated development of the artists gift through humble learning
from others, through practice, and through faithful application—in other words, through
hard work as the artist lives as a good steward of the gift God has given.

3.Service of Others in Addition to Self-Expression

Is the artist using his or her gifts for others as well as for his or her own fulfillment? If
either the creation of art or its performance is purely self-centered, even a great artist will
not reach full potential, for God has made us to be other-centered. This will be true both
for believing and for non-believing artists.

4.Respect for the Traditions of One's Discipline

Is there a humble submission to the rules of one's discipline, respect for its traditions, and
a readiness to find freedom of expression within these forms and within the forms of
God's created order? As in every other area of human activity, we stand on the shoulders
of those who came before us and are supported by those who stand alongside us.

5.The Presence of Truth

Is this work of art true? In other words, is this work of art in accord with reality? Even
when a person refuses to bow before the Lord, he or she must live in the Lord's world,
and so, such a person's art will have to be in touch with reality at some level, no matter
what he or she may claim to believe. In this way, all genuinely great art will appeal
universally because of this element of truthfulness to the world as God made it and to the
world of our human existence.

6.Is There Moral Goodness?

We need to bring any work of art before the bar of moral criteria. I am not suggesting
that we can readily judge and dismiss works because they have nudity, violence, explicit
sex, blasphemy, or cursing. Our judgments must learn to be wiser than those simple tests.
Basically, we must be prepared to ask questions about the moral intention of the artist. Is
the purpose of a work to deprave or corrupt? If a work contains immoral behavior or evil,
what is the context? It should be evident to us that the Bible contains many accounts of
wicked behavior, sometimes very graphically portrayed. Works of art must not
necessarily be condemned because they contain such sin and violence; rather, context
and intention always have to be considered.

7.Continuity of Form and Content

We must ask questions about appropriate continuity between the form and the content of
a given work of art. Is the form the artist has chosen one that works with or against the
message of the piece the artist is creating?

8.Technical Excellence

In art as in any other area of human endeavor, we need to look for technical excellence.
For the Christian especially, good work faithfully done is honoring to God. We look for
work that is well done, and we find pleasure whenever we come across what is genuinely
excellent.

9.Integrity of the Artist

How well does the work of art reflect the integrity of the artist? Is the work true to who
the artist is? Or is it merely fashionable or commercial, or even false to the artist's own
convictions and understanding? Is there integrity in the heart as one does his or her
work?

10.Integrity of the Work

Is there integrity in the work itself? For example, we all know that there is a difference
between genuine sentiment and sentimentality. This is true in painting, in writing, in
music, and in all other artistic disciplines. Does the artist seek to manipulate our
emotional response by cheap tricks, or does the artist seek to generate genuine emotional
response by the power of the work?

11.Simply Entertainment!

Lastly, we should be aware that simple entertainment is fine in almost all the art forms,
for God has indeed created us to enjoy his gifts and to enjoy one another's gifts. Human
art, just like God's art, need not always have a "higher" purpose than enjoyment—ours
and God's. Very often we will watch a movie, listen to music, read a book, or hang a
painting simply because we like to do so. What matters here is the purpose or kind of art
in question. Does this piece of art succeed, for me, at what it sets out to do?

 Medium of arts.

A medium refers to the materials that are used to create a work of art. The plural of
medium is media. Some of the most common media are oil paints (paints that use oil to
hold pigments together), tempera (pigments held together with egg yolk), marble (soft,
white stone), and bronze (a metal used to cast sculptures).
