Course Introduction

Art Appreciation is a three-unit course that develops students’ ability to


appreciate, analyze, and critique works of arts. Through interdisciplinary and multimodal
approaches, this equips students with a broad knowledge of the practical, historical,
philosophical, and social relevance of the arts in order to hone students’ ability to
articulate their understanding of the arts. The course also develops students’
competency in researching and curating art as well as conceptualizing, mounting, and
evaluating art productions. The course aims to develop students’ genuine appreciation
for Philippine arts by providing them opportunities to explore the diversity and richness
and their rootedness in Filipino Culture.

Art Appreciation as a General Education subject in tertiary education gives


knowledge to the students on the important elements of the study of Humanities.

Art Appreciation, as a course, attempts to develop in the student’s ability to appreciate,


scrutinize, and appraise works of arts. The subject also covers the preliminaries on what
art is, what its assumptions are, and what it normally amounts to, and its function.

Series of activities are offered in this course while properly observing the diversity
of students, multiple intelligences, and gender sensitivity as special features of this
learning package. The use of software application and presentation is utilized to create
the output of learners as well as Google classroom for online submission of outputs.

As a flexible learning package, this course includes course introduction, course


syllabus, learning guide, learning contract, summative assessments, course
requirements, and activities and assessments to be accomplished.

This learning package is distinct from other books because it has the following
major parts:

learners in accomplishing the activities which includes also the Data Privacy Act,
plagiarism rules, safety reminders, and parents’ support.

Preface

There is nothing that grounds men and women more concretely than the work of
their hands. This module is a survey of the most important elements of the study of the
humanities. Art Appreciation, as a course, attempts to develop in students the ability to
appreciate, scrutinize, and appraise works of art.

This module will begin with the preliminaries on what art is, what its assumption
are, what it normally amounts to, and its functions. There will also be a survey of a few
philosophies that were made and conceived by thinkers about art and beauty. After
these, the subject and content of art, as well as the actors in art, the artisans, will be
dealt with. Through and through, each lesson is comprised of opportunities for the
students not just to learn passively but also to actively contribute to and participate in art.

Moreover, this module offers a basketful of opportunities, extending activities,


and interactive and innovative strategies towards the end of the unit. It provides
outcomes- based education model being implemented in both basic and higher
education institutes.

This module is distinct because it has the following major parts:

Unit –Gives the specific lesson of the material.


Epigraph/Essential Concept – Gives brief generalization about an important idea of the
unit.
Learning Outcomes – These are skill or competencies that the students are expected to
do after they will have finished reading the unit.
Pretest – A test given to measure learner’s prior knowledge.
Content – Provides a comprehensive discussion about the topics.
Learning Activities – This art is composed of outcomes-based activities which are
congruent to the learning targets in each unit.
Assessment – Serves as an evaluation part (traditional or performance-based tests).

Toward the end, this module only wishes to contribute to the holistic development
of each Filipino learner in the hopes that every college student does not just become a
skilled professional, an expert in his field, but one who is truly human, a kind that does
not just think and socialize but one who appreciates the work of the hands and the
beauty that he is capable of producing and beholding.
To God be all the glory!!!

Unit 1- What is Humanities?

Humanities is one of the required subjects in college. It is a set of discipline that includes
grammar, philosophy, literature, history and music. As the word suggests, man is the center
of humanities. The term is derived from the Latin word humanus, which means human. This
concerns humanity. It records or interprets man’s thinking, feeling, regrets, aspirations,
failures and what he supposed not to do in the world ("Chapter 1 CPAR.pptx - The Study of
Humanities and the Art Chapter 1 What are Humanities Why study the Humanities How to
study the Humanities Text | Course Hero", 2020).

Content

In most cases, there are clues that meditate between the artwork and the viewer,
allowing the viewer to more easily comprehend what he is seeing. These clues are the
three basic components of a work of art: subject, form, and content. These components
are largely inseparable from each other and usually related to each other.

To differentiate them briefly, subject refers to the visual focus or the image that
may be extracted from examining the artwork, while content is the meaning that is
communicated by the artist or the artwork. Finally, the development and configuration of
the artwork – how the elements and the medium or material are put together-is the form.
In simpler terms, the subject is seen as the “what”; the content is the “why”; and the form
is the “how.”

TYPES OF SUBJECT

Representational Art
 These types of art have subjects that refer to objects that refer to objects or events
occurring in the real world. Also termed figurative art because the figures depicted
are easy to make out and decipher.

Despite not knowing who Mona Lisa is, it is clear that the painting is of a woman
that is realistically-proportioned; only the upper torso is shown; a beguiling and
mysterious smile is flashed; the background is a landscape.

Non-Representational Art
 Art forms that do not make a reference to the real world, whether it is a person,
place, thing, or even a particular event. It is stripped down to visual elements, such
as shapes, lines, and colors that are employed to translate a particular feeling,
emotion, and even concept.

Looking at the combination of lines, shapes, and colors of the sculpture will point to a
head of a woman even with the abstraction of the image, this work is arguably
representational art.

SOURCES AND KINDS OF SUBJECTS

For non-representational art, a higher, level of perceptiveness and insight might


be required to fully grasped the feeling, emotion, or concept behind the work.
For representational art, it is easier to infer the subject matter because from the
figures depicted in the artwork, there is already a suggestion as to its implication.

CONTENT IN ART
The meaning or message that is expressed or communicated by the artwork. In
understanding the content of art, it is important to note that there are various levels of
meaning: ("Subject and Content of Arts", 2020)

Factual meaning - The most rudimentary level of meaning for it may be extracted
from the identifiable or recognizable forms in the artwork and understanding how these
elements relate to one another.

Conventional meaning - Pertains to the acknowledged interpretation of the


artwork using motifs, signs, and symbols and other cyphers as bases of its meaning.
These conventions are established through time, strengthened by recurrent use and
wide acceptance by its viewers or audience and scholars who study them.

Subjective meaning - When subjectivities are consulted, a variety of meanings


may arise when a particular work of art is read. These meanings stem from the viewer’s
or audience’s circumstances that come into play when engaging with art (what we know,
what we learned, what we experienced; what values we stand for) Meaning may not be
singular, rather, multiple and varied.

Unit II – Visual Elements and Principles of Arts

Noticeable on the face of Mona Lisa are lines and forms that mingled with colors so as to
produce great painting. The same things are observable in the Eiffel tower. Eiffel tower is
considered one of the greatest achievements in the field of architecture. Its fame attract
thousands of tourists throughout the world every year. But looking closely at it, one will find
that it is only a combination of lines and forms. It has no color elements. Lines, forms and
colors are the most basic elements of visual arts. All arts have elements of their own but, in
visual art, there are always lines and forms. Other elements are texture and perspective

Line
A line is defined as a mark that connects the space between two points, taking any
form along the way.
The line is an essential element of art, defined as a mark that connects the space
between two points, taking any form along the way. Lines are used most often to define
shape in two-dimensional works and could be called the most ancient, as well as the
most universal, forms of mark making.

There are many different types of lines, all characterized by their lengths being greater
than their width, as well as by the paths that they take. Depending on how they are used,
lines help to determine the motion, direction, and energy of a work of art. The quality of a
line refers to the character that is presented by a line in order to animate a surface to
varying degrees.

Jacques-Louis David, Oath of the Horatii, 1784: Many implied lines connect the figures and action
of the piece by leading the eye of the viewer through the unfolding drama.

 Actual lines are lines that are physically present, existing as solid connections
between one or more points, while implied lines refer to the path that the viewer’s
eye takes as it follows shape, color, and form within an art work. Implied lines give
works of art a sense of motion and keep the viewer engaged in a composition. We
can see numerous implied lines in Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii,
connecting the figures and actions of the piece by leading the eye of the viewer
through the unfolding drama.

THE BEAUTY OF ART 16

 Straight or classic lines add stability and structure to a composition and can be
vertical, horizontal, or diagonal on the surface of the work. Expressive lines refer to
curved marks that increase the sense of dynamism of a work of art. These types of
lines often follow an undetermined path of sinuous curves. The outline or contour
lines create a border or path around the edge of a shape, thereby outlining and
defining it. Cross contour lines delineate differences in the features of a surface and
can give the illusion of three dimensions or a sense of form or shading.

 Hatch lines are a series of short lines repeated in intervals, typically in a single
direction, and are used to add shading and texture to surfaces. Cross-hatch lines
provide additional texture and tone to the image surface and can be oriented in any
direction. Layers of cross-hatching can add rich texture and volume to image
surfaces.

Light and Value

Value refers to the use of light and dark in art.

The use of light and dark in art is called value. Value can be subdivided into tint
(light hues) and shade (dark hues). In painting, which uses subtractive color, value
changes are achieved by adding black or white to a color. Artists may also employ
shading, which refers to a more subtle manipulation of value. The value scale is used to
show the standard variations in tones. Values near the lighter end of the spectrum are
termed high-keyed, while those on the darker end are low-keyed.

Value scale: The value scale represents different degrees of light used in artwork.

In Baroque painting, the technique of chiaroscuro was used to produce highly dramatic
effects in art. Chiaroscuro, which means literally “light-dark” in Italian, refers to clear
tonal contrasts exemplified by very high-keyed whites, placed directly against very low-
keyed darks. Candlelit scenes were common in Baroque painting as they effectively
produced this dramatic type of effect. Caravaggio used a high contrast palette in such
works as The Denial of St. Peter to create his expressive chiaroscuro scene.

Color

In the visual arts, color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual
impacts of specific color combinations.

Color theory subdivides color into the “primary colors” of red, yellow, and blue, which
cannot be mixed from other pigments; and the “secondary colors” of green, orange and
violet, which result from different combinations of the primary colors. Primary and
secondary colors are combined in various mixtures to create “tertiary colors.” Color
theory is centered on the color wheel, a diagram that shows the relationship of the
various colors to each other.

Additive and Subtractive Color

Additive color is color created by mixing red, green,


and blue lights. Television screens, for example, use
additive color as they are made up of the primary
colors of red, blue and green (RGB). Subtractive
color, or “process color,” works as the reverse of
additive color and the primary colors become cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Common
applications of subtractive color can be found in
printing and photography.

Complementary colors
Color wheel: The color wheel is a

opposite each other on the color wheel (purple and the various colors to each other.
yellow, green and red, orange and blue). When
placed next to each other, these pairs create the
strongest contrast for those particular two colors.

Warm and Cool Color

The distinction between warm and cool colors has been important since at least the late
18th century. Warm colors are the hues from red through yellow, browns and tans
included.

Texture

Texture refers to the tactile quality of the surface of an art object. Texture in art
stimulates the senses of sight and touch and refers to the tactile quality of the surface of
the art. It is based on the perceived texture of the canvas or surface, which includes the
application of the paint. In the context of artwork, there are two types of texture: visual
and actual.

 Visual texture refers to an implied sense of texture that the artist creates through
the use of various artistic elements such as line, shading and color.
 Actual texture refers to the physical rendering or the real surface qualities we can
notice by touching an object, such as paint application or three-dimensional art.

It is possible for an artwork to contain numerous visual textures, yet still remain
smooth to the touch. Take for example Realist or Illusionist works, which rely on the
heavy

use of paint and varnish, yet maintain an utterly smooth surface. In Jan Van Eyck’s
painting “The Virgin of Chancellor Rolin” we can notice a great deal of texture in the
clothing and robes especially, while the surface of the work remains very smooth.
Jan van Eyck, The Virgin of Chancellor Rolin, 1435:
The Virgin of Chancellor Rolin has a great deal of
texture in the clothing and robes, but the actual surface
of the work is very smooth.

Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night, 1889: The Starry Night contains a great deal of actual texture through the thick
application of paint.

Paintings often use actual texture as well, which we can observe in the physical
application of paint. Visible brushstrokes and different amounts of paint will create a
texture that adds to the expressiveness of a painting and draw attention to specific areas
within it. The artist Vincent van Gogh is known to have used a great deal of actual
texture in his paintings, noticeable in the thick application of paint in such paintings as
Starry Night.

Shape and Volume

Shape refers to an area in a two-dimensional space that is defined by edges; volume is


three-dimensional, exhibiting height, width, and depth.
Shape refers to an area in two-dimensional space that is defined by edges. Shapes are,
by definition, always flat in nature and can be geometric (e.g., a circle, square, or
pyramid) or organic (e.g., a leaf or a chair). Shapes can be created by placing two
different textures, or shape-groups, next to each other, thereby creating an enclosed
area, such as a painting of an object floating in water.

“Positive space” refers to the space of the defined shape, or figure. Typically, the
positive space is the subject of an artwork. “Negative space” refers to the space that
exists around and between one or more shapes. Positive and negative space can
become difficult to distinguish from each other in more abstract works.

A “plane” refers to any surface area within space. In two-dimensional art, the “picture
plane” is the flat surface that the image is created upon, such as paper, canvas, or
wood. Three-dimensional figures may be depicted on the flat picture plane through the
use of the artistic elements to imply depth and volume, as seen in the painting Small
Bouquet of Flowers in a Ceramic Vase by Jan Brueghel the Elder.

“Form” is a concept that is related to shape. Combining two or more shapes can create
a three-dimensional shape. Form is always considered three-dimensional as it exhibits
volume—or height, width, and depth. Art makes use of both actual and implied volume.

Jan Brueghel the Elder, Small Bouquet of Flowers in a Ceramic Vase, 1599: Three-dimensional figures may be
depicted on the flat picture plane through the use of the artistic elements to imply depth and volume.

The 7 Principles of Art and Design

The elements and principles of art and design are the foundation of the language
we use to talk about art. The elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to
create a composition. These are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space.

The principles of art repr esent how the artist uses the elements of art to create
an effect and to help convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are
balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of
these principles can help determine whether a painting is successful, and whether or not
the painting is finished.

The artist decides what principles of art he or she wants to use in a painting.
While an artist might not use all the principles of design in one piece, the principles are
intertwined and the use of one will often depend on another. For example, when creating
emphasis, the artist might also be using contrast or vice versa. It is generally agreed that
a successful painting is unified, while also having some variety created by areas of
contrast and emphasis; is visually balanced; and moves the viewer's eye around the
composition. Thus it is that one principle of art can influence the effect and impact of
another ("7 Principles of Art and Design", 2020).

The 7 principles of art

Balance refers to the visual weight of the elements of the composition. It is a sense that
the painting feels stable and "feels right." Imbalance causes a feeling of discomfort in the
viewer.

Balance can be achieved in 3 different ways:

1. Symmetry, in which both sides of a composition have the same elements in the
same position, as in a mirror-image, or the two sides of a face.
2. Asymmetry, in which the composition is balanced due to the contrast of any of
the elements of art. For example, a large circle on one side of a composition
might be balanced by a small square on the other side
3. Radial symmetry, in which elements are equally spaced around a central point,
as in the spokes coming out of the hub of a bicycle tire.

Contrast is the difference between elements of art in a composition, such that each
element is made stronger in relation to the other. When placed next to each other,
contrasting elements command the viewer's attention. Areas of contrast are among the
first places that a viewer's eye is drawn. Contrast can be achieved by juxtapositions of
any of the elements of art. Negative/Positive space is an example of contrast.
Complementary colors placed side by side is an example of contrast. Notan is an
example of contrast.

Emphasis is when the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually dominant
and commands the viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.

THE BEAUTY OF ART 21

Movement is the result of using the elements of art such that they move the viewer's
eye around and within the image. A sense of movement can be created by diagonal or
curvy lines, either real or implied, by edges, by the illusion of space, by repetition, by
energetic mark-making.

Pattern is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination thereof.
Anything can be turned into a pattern through repetition. Some classic patterns are
spirals, grids, weaves. For examples of different pattern types see the Artlandia Glossary
of Pattern Design. A popular drawing practice is Zentangles, in which an abstract or
representational outline is divided into different areas, each of which contains a unique
pattern.

Rhythm is created by movement implied through the repetition of elements of art in a


non- uniform but organized way. It is related to rhythm in music. Unlike pattern, which
demands consistency, rhythm relies on variety.

Unity/Variety You want your painting to feel unified such that all the elements fit
together comfortably. Too much unity creates monotony, too much variety creates
chaos. You need both. Ideally, you want areas of interest in your composition along with
places for your eye to rest.

Unit III- Art History and Development

Art history doesn't consist in simply listing all the art movements and placing them on a
timeline. It is the study of objects of art considered within their time period. Art historians
analyze visual arts' meaning (painting, sculpture, architecture) at the time they were
created.
Men had already appreciated art long before they learned to write. Paintings, believed to
have been mastered before the advent of writing are seen on the walls of a certain cave in
Cro-Magnon France.

-Claudio V. Tabotabo

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this unit, you will be able to:

 Differentiate the kinds of arts from the earliest time to present.


 They will use innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to generate
new approaches to the history of representation understood within broader socio-
cultural perspectives. They will demonstrate skills necessary for effective
preparation of artwork for public presentation, using a variety of materials and
techniques.

Portraits
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other
artistic representation of a person, in which the face
and its expression are predominant. The intent is to
display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of
the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is
generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a
person in a still position. A portrait often shows a
person looking directly at the painter or photographer in
order to most successfully engage the subject with the
viewer.

Landscapes
Landscape painting, also known as landscape art, is the depiction in art of landscapes—
natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, especially where
the main subject is a wide view—with its elements arranged into a coherent composition
. In other works, landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the
work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the
composition. Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic
traditions and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing
other subjects.

Genre Art

Genre art is the pictorial representation in any of


various media of scenes or events from everyday life,
such as markets, domestic settings, interiors, parties,
inn scenes, and street scenes. Such representations
(also called genre works, genre scenes, or genre
views) may be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by
the artist.

Nicolaes Maes. The Idle Servant


(1655): Oil on canvas. National
Gallery, London. Dutch Baroque
genre scenes often have
important moral lessons as their
subtexts.

Narrative Art

Narrative art is art that tells a story, either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a
sequence of events unfolding over time. Some of the earliest evidence of human art
suggests that people told stories with pictures. However, without some knowledge of the
story being told, it is very hard to read ancient pictures because they are not organized
in a systematic way like words on a page, but rather can unfold in many different
directions at once.

Hagesandros, Athenedoros, and Polydoros. Laocoön and


His Sons (First century BCE): Marble. Vatican Museum,
Rome. This marble sculpture depicts a scene from Virgil’s
epic The Aeneid, in which the Trojan seer Laocoön foresees
the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy by the Greeks.
Before he can warn his fellow townspeople, the sea god
Neptune (an ally of the Greeks) sends his serpents to kill
Laocoön and his sons.

Figurative and Abstract Art

Art exists along a continuum from realistic representational work to fully non-
representational work. Painting and sculpture can be divided into the categories of
figurative (or representational) and abstract (or non-representational). Figurative art
describes artwork – particularly paintings and sculptures – which are clearly derived from
real object sources, and therefore are, by definition, representational. Since the arrival of
abstract art in the early twentieth century, the term “figurative” has been used to refer to
any form of modern art that retains strong references to the real world.

Johann Anton Eismann, Ein Meerhafen, 1600s: This figurative


work from the 17th century depicts easily recognizable objects—
ships, people, and buildings.

Artistic independence was advanced during the nineteenth century, resulting in the
emergence of abstract art. Three movements which contributed heavily to the
development of these styles were Romanticism, Impressionism, and Expressionism.

Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at
least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive.
Artwork which takes liberties, altering, for instance, color and form in ways that are
conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract.

What Is Humanities And Its Branches?

Humanities are educational courses that aim to teach individuals about the
human condition in a variety of forms, as well as look at them with a critical and
analytical eye. The branches of humanities consist of languages, the arts, literature,
philosophy, religion and history.

Why?

The studying of humanities has become a huge part of western education as it


helps individuals to learn and analyze the ways of the world and put forward
interpretations. It helps a lot of people to approach situations intellectually as well as in
their academics. Humanities focus more on interpretation and ideals rather than
concrete facts such as math and science.

Languages

This particular branch of humanities consists of learning the way people


communicate in different speaking countries. It brings a sense of culture to individuals as
they are likely to be taught the various history and origins of the languages they learn.

The arts

The arts consist of theater, music, art and film. They are all mediums of self-
expression and these courses in particular encourage personal interpretation and
analysis. Fine arts courses also come into this category; however, they focus more on
the historical forms of art and their origins.

Literature

Literature refers to novels, short stories, plays and so on. Individuals attempt to
decipher the meaning of texts and look into symbolism and themes. Literature courses
delve into social aspects that may influence texts.

Philosophy and religion

These courses study human behavior and the age-old questions such as the
meaning of life and the existence of God. They analyze various cultures and their
religious beliefs as well as moral codes.

History

This is arguably the most facts-based course as individuals delve into past
events such as war and politics and how societies and cultures have been affected
throughout the years ("What Is Humanities and Its Branches?” 2020).
