 NATURE OF A R T

Art in its nature is

imitative, expressive, surreal, formal,
romantic, and conceptual.
 o Representative or Mimetic
Art is imitative o Art is an Imitation of the real world
o Art is an Imitation of an Imitation
o Expressionism
Art is expressive o a style in which the intention is not to reproduce a subject
accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to express the
inner state of the artist
o exploration of the dream and unconsciousness as a valid form of
Art is surreal reality
o championing the irrational
 o Expressions of feelings or intentions of the artist.
Art is romantic
o It is the expression of the emotion.

Art is formal the study of art by analyzing and comparing form and style—the way
objects are made and their purely visual aspects
a modern art for which the idea (or concept) behind the work is more
important than the finished art object
Art is
conceptual “When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the
planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a
perfunctory affair.”
FUNCTIONS OF A R T
FUNCTIONS OF A R T

Occupying that tenuous space between fine art and the everyday, functional art refers
to aesthetic objects that serve utilitarian purposes. The genre is remarkably inclusive: it
encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and even books.

REPRESENTATIONAL
These types of art have subjects that refer to objects or events occurring
in the real world.

NON REPRESENTATIONAL
Art forms that do not make a reference to the real world, whether it is a
person, place, thing, or even a particular event.

The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1565

Art forms that make a reference to the real world, whether it is a person, place, thing,
or even a particular event. Blanket term for art that represents some aspect of reality,
in a more or less straightforward way.

The Surrey Canal, Camberwell by Algernon Newton, 1935

Meaning in nonrepresentational art is highly subjective and can be difficult to define. We
can focus on the elements of the artwork (form, shape, line, color, space, and texture) in
terms of the aesthetic value of the work, but the meaning will always be personal to the
viewer unless the artist has made a statement about his or her intentions.

 CONTENT OF A R T

Content is the message given by the piece of art. It involves the subject, the techniques
used to make the piece, the colors used, and anything that was used by the artist to
make a statement and give a message.
 Textual

Contextual

Subtext
 TEXTUAL

The text refers to:

• Medium – what it is made

of.
• Form – its outward shape
• Content – the subject it
describes.
THE L A S T SUPPER
 CONTEXTUAL

Context used to describe the historical and cultural

background or environment of the artwork.

To determine the context, we ask:

1. In what time and place did the artefact originate?

2. How did it function within the society in which it was
created?
3. Was the purpose of the piece decorative, didactic, magical,
propagandistic?
4. Did it serve the religious or political needs of the
community or both?
CONTEXTUAL
 SUBTE X T

The subtext of the literary or artistic object refers to its secondary and implied meanings. The subtext
embraces the emotional or intellectual messages embedded in, or implied by, a work of art. The epic poems
of the ancient Greeks, for instance, which glorify prowess and physical courage in battle, suggest that such
virtues are exclusively male.
