ART APPRECIATION: CREATIVITY, IMAGINATION, AND EXPRESSION

It takes an artist to make art. One may perceive beauty on daily basis. However, not every
beautiful thing that can be seen or experiences may truly be called a work of art. Art is a product of man’s
creativity, imagination, and expression. No matter how perfectly blended the colors of a
sunset are and no matter how extraordinarily formed mountains are, nature is not considered art simply
because it is not made by man. Not even photographs or sketches of nature, though captured or drawn
by man, are works of art, but mere recordings of the beauty in nature (Collins & Riley, 1931). An artwork
may be inspired by nature or other works of art, but an artist invents how own forms and patterns due to
what he perceives as beautiful and incorporates them in creating his masterpiece.

Perhaps not everyone can be considered an artist, but surely, all are spectators of art. In deciding
what pair of shoes to buy, we carefully examine all possible choices within out budget and purchase the
one that satisfies our beauty and practical standards. We can distinguish what is fine ad beautiful from
what is not and what is good quality from poor. This gives us a role in the field of art appreciation.

 ART APPRECIATION
EXPLANATION
The last summer vacation, I visited the National Museum of Fine Arts which
located in Manila Philippines. I encountered many vivid, relaxing, colorful, and
evocative artworks or illustrations while walking around the corners. There was a
painting by Carlos V. Francisco that intrigued and caught my attention and named
“Progress of Medicine in the Philippines” which created in the year of 1953. As
an individual, I sincerely appreciated the masterpiece that truly convey its message.
It consists of oil paintings on canvas, and represent how lines, shapes, or figures
meet each other in order to create a beautiful art. On the other hand, there are sets
of figure appears on a soft or hard surface, and its transparency in form. However, it
shows on how the Philippines proceed to the advancement of technologies with
regards to health approach, discoveries, tools, materials, and equipment’s.

The Art Appreciation: Creativity, Imagination, and Expression taught me how to

appreciate, inspired, and discovered more artworks that were created by the National

identifies the artwork’s elements used, and other basic principles of design. Lastly, it also
assessed me to define and further understand the message of a masterpiece and how it
connects or conveys to the real world.
