APPRECIATION
WHAT IS ART?
The term ART derives from the old Latin, which implies a “craft or specialized sort
of expertise, as carpentry or smithing or surgery” (Collingwood, 1938).
(Collingwood, 1938).

The Subject of Art

In any art form- be it painting, music, sculpture, architecture, o dance that serves
as the FOUNDATION OF THE CREATION of the work of art.
 The subject of art is VARIED.
 Usually anything that is represented in the artwork. (person, object, sense, or
event.

Presented in 2 ways:
1. Representational/ objective art : Artworks that depict something that is easily
recognized. The subject is clear/ identified. Ex. Painting * Sculpture* Graphic Arts
Literature Theater Arts.
2. Non- representational/ non- objective art: Artworks that has no resemblance of
any real subject. Do not represent anything & they are what they are. Appear directly
to the senses primarily because of the satisfying organization of their sensuous and
expressive elements. Ex. Music * Architecture Abstract Art Non- figurative arts Etc.

ASSUMPTIONS OF ART
1. Art Is Universal
 Timeless, transcending generations and nations through and through.
 Misconception: Artistic created long time ago.
 Age is not a factor in determining art.
 Literature has contributed crucial terms of art.
 lliad and the Odyssey are the two Greek Epics that one’s being taught in
school.
 The Sanskrit compositions Mahabharata and Ramanaya are also classics in this
domain.
2. Nature Is Not Art, and Art Is Not Nature
 In the absence of a depiction of reality, art may be thought of as a perspective of
reality.
 In the Philippines, it is fairly uncommon for some viewers of local films to express
their dissatisfaction with the films' realism by stating that they are unrealistic.
They argue that local movies are based on a set of formulas that are detrimental to
the content and fidelity to reality of the films they produce
  Well and Grinding' is a painting by French artist Paul Cezanne that depicts a
situation from reality.
 The Chateau Noir's Forest has a wheel, and it is located there.

3. Art is a result of personal experience

 It is not a comprehensive guide, but rather an experience. The actual act of
accomplishing something.
 For others, reaching this point without having a good definition of art might seem
bizarre and bizarre. For the majority of people, art does not need a comprehensive
definition. Art is nothing more than a sensory experience.

solidity. It's possible to have both bodily and visual equilibrium.
Rhythm

aspect that draws in viewers. It may be created using several elements like as size,
positioning, color, and line use. Proportion and scale are important considerations.
 It is the comparative connections between components in a design that are
measured in terms of their size and proportion

SOULMAKING
Soul-making is a nontraditional method of getting to know oneself and delving
into the depths and true significance of what we do in our daily lives. It
encourages the development of our inner artist while also assisting us in
communicating with others, understanding culture, and embodying tolerance
and peace. It opens the door to a plethora of different intelligences and
expressions. SOUL-MAKING is the process of creating and deriving meaning through art.
For a person to make sense of language and draw meaning fromwords, it
is necessary to take into consideration semantic and grammatical
principles.

ART FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PHILOSOPHY

Art as a kind of emulation
Plato's The Republic portrays artists as mimics, and art as nothing more than a
collection of imitations. He believes that the things that exist in this world are
simply copies of the original, the eternal, and that authentic beings can only be
discovered in the World of Forms, according to his metaphysics or perspective
of reality. Art is nothing more than a copy of another's work. In the World of
Forms, a painting is just a copy of nature, which in turn is an imitation of reality
in the actual world.
Art as a means of communication
In agreement with Plato, Aristotle, on the other hand, saw art as a tool to help
philosophy in the pursuit of the truth.
Art is a representation of a version of reality. Aristotelian philosophy holds that
art has two distinct purposes: it allows for the enjoyment of pleasure, and it has
the power to be instructional, teaching its audience valuable lessons about life
and its surroundings.

Art as a kind of unbiased evaluation

Kant's Critique of Judgment asserted that the judgment of beauty, which he
regarded to be the foundation of art, was something universal, despite the fact
that it was susceptible to subjectivity. In his understanding of beauty, he
acknowledged that it is subjective.

Art as a means of conveying emotional content

Tolstoy believed that art has a significant function in communicating feelings that
the creator has previously experienced to an audience via communication.Emotions are
communicated via art
