ART APPRECIATION
ACTIVITY NO.1: WHO MAKES ART?
Who makes art? Do you think artists have innate ability or acquired skill (or both)? How
artist’s roles change with different cultural considerations? Support your answers with
examples, and provide any links or images that help in your explanations?
Art is a uniquely human endeavor so therefore I would have to say “people” make art.
But art takes many forms be it painting, drawing, sculpture, dance, photography,
graphic design, cooking, embroidery, pottery, etc. I think as humans we are born with an
innate ability to create art. It is at this point that art becomes “hard” in the sense that
it’s not something that just anyone can do.
Bowls or pottery were valued for the practical skills in meeting the needs of the society
in which they dwelt. In western societies, during the Middle Ages artists were valued for
their ability to paint murals, for example, that adorned cathedrals (decorative) and
taught lessons from scripture
ACTIVITY NO.2: SOCIAL ART VS CREATIVE ART!
Instructions: Compare and contrast art created as a social activity and as a singular
creative act.
