GROUP 2

5 SENTENCES INSIGHTS ALL ABOUT CHAPTER 2

Misa, Mark Gergen

Art is a part of human nature however; it has a function of what purpose that is created of a certain art.
The highlighted functions of art are personal, social and physical. These three are the common parts
that help the artist to be motivated to show their emotions to their personal as an escape of reality or to
show off in a tradition or culture otherwise it could be meditation to balance the mind and body. When
you heard about philosophy of art, first comes in my mind is a study of nature of art on what
implications that are related to of what beauty or irregularities will be discovered many philosopher
have their own philosophies about art same as Plato and Aristotle. Art is something like a journey as
quote by napoleon hill “your only limitations is the one you set up in your mind”
Minoza, Krysha
Practically speaking, everything is meant with distinctive functions, since art encompasses three
fundamental functions: personal, social, and physical, which are covered in Chapter 2. In this sense, not
all works of art have a purpose and beauty is not always determined by art due to the intention of the
artist or the viewpoint of the observer. While the philosophical themes enhance the beauty of the art and
add depth to a man’s existence. The three Greek philosophers have various philosophies of art that
define who they are and can change a person’s views. Thus, this chapter explains why individuals
engage in art and how it inspires them to produce a masterpiece.
Momo, Krissa Mae
Arts is one that we will learn a lot not just by seeing it but by engaging the real beauty of arts. In this
chapter it emphasizes the function and philosophy of arts. It has lots of functions but the most common
function is how the artist shows their creativity and how the artist engages their emotions through art.
Also the philosophy of arts is the examination of the nature of art, taking into account ideas like form,
expression, and representation. Like what Aristotle said that art is a representation of reality. Art is
where artists have the ability to create their own beauty . Not just the professional artist but we
ourselves can make an art be beautiful.
Montederamos, Dane
The second chapter covers the functions and philosophies of art. The common purpose for creating art
—utilitarian intention—incorporates three functions of art: personal, social, and physical. Furthermore,
the three great philosophers, Plato, Aristotle, and Kant all had distinct perspectives on what constitutes
art and how to describe it. Also, introduces its three philosophical ideas which are integrity, proportion
or consonance, and radiance or clarity. I learned from this chapter that there is absolutely no clear
meaning to art. How an artwork is interpreted and how viewers connect it to their own lives and
experiences relies on both the artists and the viewers. Thus, it helped me realize that we are the artists
of our everyday life since only we can give it significance and turn it into something equivalent to a
magnum opus.
Nacua, Mary Grace
Chapter 2 covers the functions and philosophy of art. There are three functions of art; personal, social,
and physical, in which the most common reason people are into art is for utilitarian purposes. In terms
of the philosophy of art, three great philosophers shared and described their various perspectives of art,
Plato, an idealist; Aristotle, a realist, and Immanuel Kant, an expressivist. Ultimately, there are three
philosophical themes that an artist should consider, which are Integrity, Proportion/Consonance, and
Radiance/Clarity. Thus, I learned that art is part of human life, and I think that art has no definite
meaning.
Narandan, Sheila May
Art is a person's point of view. Arts are already around the corner, waiting for the right person to
appreciate them. Artists are drawn to the arts for a variety of reasons. Drawings, paintings, sculpting,
dancing, and other forms of art exist. Art is how someone interprets and defines it.
Neri Jerasel
In everyday life, the word art has many different meanings and purposes. It exists because someone
enjoys doing it. It serves three purposes: 1) personal (utilitarian, public display, and expression), 2)
social (used for public display and celebration, and to influence collective behavior), and 3) physical
(utilitarian). Every individual has a different perspective on it, especially philosophers who always prove
and demonstrate to us that their perspective on art is correct. Plato believes that reality exists in the
world of ideas, whereas Aristotle believes that reality exists in the world of things. On the other hand,
Immanuel Kant has his own take on the subject, claiming that art is second nature to man. According to
him, the only reason people engage in art is for the act itself. In short, art is a natural part of being
human. In our own creation, we make things beautiful.
Ocampo, Kristine
Chapter 2 is all about the functions and philosophy of art. Now I understand that many individuals
create art for utilitarian intention. Therefore, there are three functions or reasons why people create
works of art: for personal, social, or physical reasons. In contrast, the likes of Plato, Aristotle, and
Immanuel Kant each offered their own unique contributions to the philosophical study of art. Integrity,
proportion/consonance, and radiance/clarity are three such philosophical themes that an artist might
draw upon when creating works of art.
Opo, Jeffin Lyzette
There are three main functions of the arts, and these functions can be categorized into physical,
personal, and social. First, the physical function of art; it can be seen when you use an art as a
decoration. Second, the urge for self-expression, amusement, and pleasure are all examples of personal
function of art. Lastly, the social function of art; the most significant function among all three, which
can influence people and increase awareness of social concerns. Art has a deeply communicative purpose,
much like philosophy. Through it, people can share their most personal, profound, and intimate ideas
with one another.
Pace Algie
Chapter Two (2) comprises the topic functions and philosophies of art. The three functions of art—
personal, social, and physical—are all included in the utilitarian goal, which is the common reason for
making art. This explains the three philosophical principles, which are clarity, consonance, and
brilliance. Aristotle, Kant, and Plato were the three great philosophers who had different ideas about
what constitutes art and how to define it. This chapter taught me that there is not really a single,
obvious meaning to art. Both artists and viewers have an impact on how a piece of art is interpreted and
how viewers relate it to their own lives and experiences.
Pagal, Rechelle Mae
Have you ever wondered why there are so many people that are fascinated with art? That, perhaps, is
because art is something that they love doing, and it has the power to express emotions and inspire
people. Chapter two uncovers the functions of art, namely physical function, which uses art as a
decoration; personal function, in which art is used for entertainment, leisure, and self-expression needs;
and social function, which uses art to affect collective behavior in society. Moreover, three of the most
renowned philosophers to have used the term and intimately defined it. According to Plato, the artist’s
work is nothing but a mimesis of the original object in the original realm, but Aristotle disapproves of it
and believes that art is the representation of reality. Additionally, Immanual Kants' take on the matter
is that art, for him, is something second nature to man. In conclusion, art is an essential component of
being a human.

Plasencia, Catleya
Art is not just for public display or attractions but it can be used for personal, societal, and physical
reasons. Most of us does not understand or sometimes complain how expensive the artwork is, but little
did we know how much effort, time, and determination of the artist was put into it to create such
masterpiece. As for the philosophy of art, art has its different views for each of the philosophers.
According to Plato, an artwork is a copy of the original object that has existed already in the world of
forms, on the other hand, Aristotle’s principle states that all art is an imitation of human life and thus
the purpose is to mimic how human lives their usual lives. To conclude, art is something that is part of
humans and a reflection of reality.
Quirante, Regler
The purposes and philosophy of the arts are covered in chapter two. My initial realization is that
because art is so adaptable, anyone can learn to appreciate it for what it means to them. Plato claimed
that art is similar to a mimesis of the original object. Therefore, not all art has a deep purpose of its own
since I occasionally become aware that all art serves a profound and significant purpose. Furthermore,
you are still a wonderful artist as long as you like creating art that does not disparage or damage others.
Quiñanola, Joebert
Art is one of the things that I admire since I have been friends with some wonderful artists. Chapter 2
talks about Art in many different perspective such as its functions and philosophy. There are many
functions of art and common function is the utalitarian which artists engage in art for the expression of
emotions and some are earning for a living. Nevertheless artist engage because they love what they are
doing. There different views about an artist work but the only ones who can explain the work in deep
manner is the artist itself. For example if plato's belief that arts work is nothing but a copy of the
original objects then that must be his view on his works. The most important thing that an artist must
have is love, passion and its own belief towards arts.
Romano, Abril Jane
Chapter 2 highlights the functions and philosophies of art. There are three great philosophers who had
distinct claims on arts. Plato—a true blue idealist believes that an art is similar to a mimesis of the true
object. In contrary, Aristotle disagree to Plato and claims that art is a representation of the reality.
Meanwhile, Immanuel Kant claims that art is a second to nature and is purposeless. 
Rondina, Rena
Everything we do, including painting, sculpture, sketching, singing, dancing, and writing, is regarded as
art. People generally engage in the arts and are inspired to do so for a variety of reasons, including the
ability to make a living, express one’s emotions, raise awareness of particular causes, and just enjoy
doing it. People that study the philosophy of the arts have given their opinions on what they believe art
to be. Plato is the first to establish art beyond science and philosophy, Aristotle is the second to describe
art as a depiction of reality, and Kant is the third to place art as something that comes naturally to
people. The three philosophical concepts in art—integrity, proportion/consonance, and radiance/clarity
—are also covered in the section on philosophy of art. Integrity is the adherence to one’s moral values;
proportion and consonance are the harmony or consistency of the elements; and clarity has to do with
the significance or effect on the observer.
