THE NATURE OF ART

THE NATURE

OF ART
Imagine, just for a minute, a world without

art! (You may think "So what?", but please

consider the impact that lack of graphics

would have on your favorite video game.)

Art stimulates different parts of our brains to

make us laugh, cry, excited.

Art gives us a way to be creative and express

ourselves.
art appreciation

THE NATURE

OF ART
For some people, art is the entire reason
they get out of bed in the morning. You

could say "Art is something that makes us

more thoughtful and well-rounded

humans."

On the other hand, art is such a large part

of our everyday lives, we hardly even stop

to think about it. Look at the desk or table

where you are right this minute. Someone

designed that. It is art. Your shoes are art.

Your coffee cup is art. All functional design

is art.
THE NATURE

art appreciation

Art lacks a satisfactory definition. It is easier

to describe it as the way something is done

OF ART
“the use of skill and imagination in the

creation of aesthetic objects, environments,

or experiences that can be shared with

others” rather than what it is.

 art appreciation

ART IS

EVERYWHERE
For as long as humanity has existed, art has been part of our

lives. For many years, people have been creating and enjoying

art. It expresses emotions or expression of life. It is one such

creation that enables interpretation of any kind.

art appreciation

ART IS

EVERYWHERE
Art is everywhere, whether you know where

to look or not. It’s the design of your soda

can and cereal box, or the graphics of that

videogame you are playing and is

currently obsessed with beating. It’s the

songs you sing in church or in the

bathroom -whatever, and that dress your

grandmother made you years ago. It’s the

music or songs you bop to on your way to

work, and the books stacked on your

bedside table. It is all art, and it affects our

lives in ways both subtle and obvious,

expected and unexpected.

art appreciation

ART IS

EVERYWHERE
Art and its elements can be seen in things

that we see everyday. For example,

buildings show lines, space, and shape. The

lines of the windows, the building itself is

art. A house is a good example for

volume/form. A house is art with three

dimensions. A great example for texture,

color, and value is a landscape, the texture

of the trees and its leaves, the different

colors of the landscape itself, and the light

from the sun showing value. Even some

objects like cars, furniture, and jewelry can

also be considered works of art.

art appreciation

ART IS

EVERYWHERE
A lot of people think that art are just the

things we see displayed in museums. Art is

more than that. Everyone has their own

way of showing art. One good example of

this is how we want to look or dress. We

want our shirts to be of a particular color.

We want it to be smooth and have a good

shape. Architects and interior designers

also have their own way of showing art.

Some architects want their buildings to

have irregular shapes some prefer them to

be straight and tall. Some designers want

to have a lot of light in their design and

others want it full of color. Each artist has

his own way of expressing art.

art appreciation

ART AS AN

EXPRESSION AND

COMMUNICATION
What does one do when words fail? Make art.'

Art has been a medium of communication

and self-expression since the beginning of

human history. From making stick figures in

caves to modern art as we know it today, art

has provided a way for humans to convey a

feeling, a distant emotion that is wordless,

something visceral and yet subtle.

It helps people deal with and manage their

feelings, to express who they are, without the

human need to communicate.


ART AS AN EXPRESSION
yourself. You may think you’re merely painting
AND COMMUNICATION
As we grow up, our self-expression and communication suffer
as we deal with life and its altering events. We don’t know how
to express our emotions; we don’t even understand them at
times. This isn’t so when we’re children: you probably colored,
designed, and imagined without a restraint.
With art, you regain this ability to express
or creating something nice. Still, during the
process, you can dig into your emotions and
feel that feeling that’s surfacing: it’ll be a
medium for self-expression, it’ll help you find
your voice, will enable you to communicate
without words. You get to unleash those
buried feelings that are otherwise out of
touch.
art appreciation

ART IS

EVERYWHERE
Sometimes, we cant give words to how we

feel about tough feelings of our past. But,

when you paint or make art, you can

communicate your negative feelings, whether

sadness, regret, or anger, into your piece. It

helps you grieve; it helps you express

contentment, it gives you a stage where you

can channel that energy you feel inside of

you.

And, it promotes mindfulness; art makes you

more aware of the present moment and

helps quieten your stress. This releases

dopamine, the feel-good hormone, in the

brain, leading to a better physical and

emotional impact.
art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
A work of art is created by an artist, in

order then to develop an independent

existence in the eye of the beholder over

which the creator loses all control.

art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
MUSIC
Music as an art conveys an individual's

emotions, expressions and creativity. It is

composing and using unique symbols. Music

comes from what is in the soul and it puts the

Artist creation on display in many and various

forms.
Music in a way is different from other artforms because it alone is an

expression of itself rather than something else. Notes and melodies, unlike

phrases and colors, do not try to represent anything but can instead be

appreciated simply for what they are.

art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
SCULPTURE
Sculpture is a form of artistic expression that

involves modelling, sculpting or carving

stone, wood or other materials. Sculpture is

considered one of the 7 arts, alongside music,

painting and dance, and sculptors can use it

to express themselves through the use of

volume and space

art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
PAINTING
Paintings are a form of visual art that

captures the expression of ideas and

emotions on a two-dimensional surface.

Artists use the elements of shape, colors, line,

tones, and textures in unique ways to produce

paintings that convey sensations of

movement, volume, space, and light –

traditionally on a flat surface.

A painting can represent a natural scene or

object, describe a narrative, or be wholly abstract.

art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
DANCE
Dance is a fully-fledged art form, belonging to

the ‘performing arts’, a goal in itself and a

means of allowing a human being to express

his inner feelings, thoughts and experiences.

Dance is a natural form of self-expression: the

body expresses itself naturally and so therefore

does the spirit. We are all free willed beings, no

matter what our personal situation may be.

Through dance, our body expresses how free

we actually are, while also highlighting the

restrictions our minds impose on it.

art appreciation

ART AS

CREATION
ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is considered an art. More

specifically, it can be categorized as fine and

applied art. Many think buildings are just

structures meant to provide shelter and

protection against the elements, but this is not

entirely true.
The buildings that architects design have been

given beauty and meaning. They are created

to make people feel something when they see

them, whether it is awe, peace, or happiness.

art appreciation

ART AND

EXPERIENCE
We express our experience through art.

Art is used to produce varying

combination of sensory, emotional and

intellectual responses an artist

experiences or experienced.
art appreciation

ART AND

NATURE
Art involving nature can be done simply

to display the beauty of the natural world

around us, to make scientific

observations in an environment, or to

open our minds to philosophical ideas

about our own connection to nature and

beyond.
