Discussion

It takes an artist to make art. One may perceive

beauty on a daily basis. However, not every beautiful thing
that can be seen or experienced may truly be called a work
of art. Art is a product of man’s creativity, imagination, and
expression. Not everyone can be considered an artist, but
all are spectators of art. We are able to distinguish what is
fine and beautiful from what is not and what good quality
is and from poor. This gives us a role in the field of art
appreciation.

In one of your encounters with art through museum visits, musicals, and plays among others, have
you ever felt disconnected from an artwork? Was there a point in time when you did not understand
what message the art was trying to convey? Explain why you think you did or did not understand the art.

ART APPRECIATION AS A WAY OF LIFE

“The role of art as a creative work is to depict the world in a completely different light and
perspective” – Jean-Paul Sartre Each artwork beholds beauty in its own kind, the kind that the artist sees
and wants the viewers to perceive. More often than not, people are blind to this beauty and only those
who have developed a fine sense of appreciation can experience and see the art the way the artist did.
Hence, refining one’s ability to appreciate arts allows him to deeply understand the purpose of an
artwork and recognize the beauty it possesses.
In cultivating an appreciation of art, one should also exercise and develop his taste for things that
are fine and beautiful. This allows individuals to make intelligent choices and decisions in acquiring
necessities and luxuries, knowing what give better value for time or money while taking into
consideration the aesthetic and practical value.
Learning to appreciate art no matter what vocation or profession you have, will lead to a fuller and
more meaningful life.

THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN ART MAKING

Creativity requires thinking outside the box.
In art, creativity is what sets apart one artwork from
another. When can we say that something is
creative? O When we have not seen anything like it
O When it is out of the ordinary O When it is not just
a copy or imitation of someone’s work …THERE IS
ORIGINALITY! Nowadays, being creative can be quite challenging.

ART AS A PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION, IMAGINATION AS A PRODUCT OF ART

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For

knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while
imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be
to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein. Imagination is not
constrained by the walls of the norm, but goes beyond that.
Through imagination, one is able to craft something bold,
something new, and something better in the hopes of creating
something that will stimulate change. In artist’s mind sits a vast

gallery of artworks An artwork does not need to be a real thing, but can be something that is imaginary.
However, something imaginary does not necessarily mean it cannot be called art. Artists use their
imagination that gives birth to reality through creation. In the same way that imagination produces art,
art also inspires imagination. IMAGINATI ON ART

ART AS EXPRESSION
What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it, but express it. Through expression, he is able to
explore his own emotions and at the same time, create something beautiful out of them.” – Robin George
Collingwood. Expressing emotions is different from describing emotions. This makes people’s art not a
reflection of what is outside or external to them, but a reflection of their inner selves.

1. VISUAL ARTS
Creations that fall under this category are those that appeals to the
sense of sight and are mainly visual in nature. Artists produce visual
arts driven by their desire to reproduce things that they have seen in
the way that they perceived them. There are also other artistic
disciplines that also involve a visual aspect, such as performance arts,
theater, and applied arts. Some mediums of visual arts include
paintings, drawings, letterings, printing, sculpture, digital imaging.

2. FILM
Refers to the art of putting together successions of still images in order
to create an illusion of movement. Filmmaking focuses on its aesthetic, cultural,
and social value and is considered both an art and an industry. Techniques in
film-making process: O Motion-picture camera (also known as movie camera) O
Animation techniques O Computer-generated imagery (CGI) Filmmaking
simulates experiences or creates one that is beyond the scope of our
imagination as it aims to deliver ideas, feelings, or beauty to its viewers.

3. PERFORMANCE ART
Performance art is a live art and the artist’s medium is mainly the human body which he or she uses to
perform, but also employs other kind of art such as visual art, props, or sound.

Elements of performance arts:

Time where the performance took place. The performers body
Relationship between the audience and the performer(s). The fact
that performance art is live makes it intangible, which means it
cannot be bought or traded as a commodity.

4. POETRY PERFORMANCE
Poetry is an art form where the artist
expresses his emotions not by using paint, charcoal,
or camera, but expresses them through words. These
words are carefully selected to exhibit clarity and
beauty and to stimulate strong emotions of joy,
anger, love, and sorrow among others. It uses a
word’s emotional, musical, and spatial values that go
beyond its literal meaning to narrate emphasize,
argue, or convince. These words combined with
movements, tone, volume, and intensity of the delivery add to the artistic, value of the poem

5. ARCHITECTURE
Art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful things while
architecture is the making of beautiful buildings. However,
not all building are beautiful because some only embody
the functionality they need, but the structure, lines, forms,
and colors are not beautifully expressed .Important
elements: O Plan O Construction O Design Buildings
should embody these three important elements if they
wish to merit the title architecture.

6. DANCE
Dance is series of movements that follows the rhythm of
the music accompaniment. Dancing is a creative art form
that allows people to freely express themselves. OIT HAS
NO RULES. Choreography may seem not to allow this, but
in art expression, dancers are not confined to set steps and
rules but are free to create and invent their own
movements as longs as they deem them graceful and
beautiful.

7. LITERARY ART
Artists who practice literary arts use words to express themselves
and communicate emotions to the readers. Simply becoming a writer
does not make one a literary artist. Literary art goes beyond the usual
professional, academic, journalistic and other technical forms of
writing. It focuses on writing using a unique style, not following a
specific format or norm. It may include both fiction and non-fiction
such as novels, biographies, and poems. O Romeo and Juliet – William
Shakespeare .The Little Prince – Antoine de Sain-Exupery

8. THEATER
Theater uses live performers to present accounts or imaginary events before a live audience. Theater art
performance usually follows follow a script, though they should not be confused with literary arts. Like in
filmmaking, theater also considers several elements such as acting, gesture, lighting, sound effects,
musical score, scenery and props. Like performance art, theater also is a live performance. Genres:
drama, musical, tragedy, comedy and improvisation

9. APPLIED ARTS
Applied arts are incorporating elements of style and design to everyday items with the aim of increasing
their aesthetic value. Artists in this field bring beauty, charm, and comfort into many things that were
useful in everyday life. Industrial design, interior design, fashion design, graphic design

Summary
Art is a product of a man1s creativity, imagination, and expression. An artwork may be inspired by
nature or other works of art but an artist invest his own forms and patterns due to what he perceives as
beautiful and incorporate them in creating his masterpiece. Perhaps not everyone can be considered an
artist but surely ,all are spectators of art , which gives us all a role in the field of appreciation.

Creativity is what sets apart one artwork from another. A creative artist does not simply copy or
imitate another artist`s work. Lastly, through expression an artist is able to explore own emotions while
same time create something beautiful out of it.
