Activity 1

1. If you were an artist, what kind of artist would you be?

➢ If I were to be an artist, I would like to be a painter. Because there are thoughts and
feelings that cannot be expressed into words, but colors, patterns, etc. can illustrate
them. The main reason why I want to be a painter is that, while we all know that art
can be viewed differently depending on the eyes of the beholder, personally, there
is something about paintings that makes me uncertain of the meaning behind them.
It is as if every color is depicted with many emotions, and every painting is thronged
by them. I want to be in the position of the one who created that art to finally know
how to perceive it through the eyes of the creator itself, so that I can be enlightened
of its true meaning.

2. Why is art not nature?

➢ Art is not nature because it is created by man. Art cannot create itself and just
magically appear out of nowhere. Thus, there is a need for human interference. And
obviously, anything generated by a man is not nature or natural; it is man-made.
Also, art is influenced by the experience of the one who created it. And that said
experience is again acquired by man. To sum it up, art is not natural in the sense
that those crafts were not created by God, but by the man who produced them.
