Lesson 2

Art:
Nature, Definitions, &
Importance
ART
- The word ART comes from the ancient Latin, ars which
means a “craft or specialized form of skill, like carpentry or
smithing or surgery” (Collingwood, 1938).

- the conscious use of skill and creative imagination

especially in the production of aesthetic objects the art
of painting landscapes. (“Definition of Art,” 2023)
 ART
- Ars in Medieval Latin came to mean something
different. It meant “any special form of book-
learning, such as grammar or logic, magic or
astrology” (Collingwood, 1983)
- The fine arts would come to mean “not
delicate or highly skilled arts, but “beautiful arts”
(Collingwood, 1983)
ART
- “The humanities constitute one of the oldest and
most important means of expression developed by
man” (Dudley et al., 1960).

- Human history has witnessed how man

evolved not just physically but also culturally,
from cave painters to men of exquisite
paintbrush users of the present.

ART
- Art is “human ingenuity in adapting natural things to
man's use.” (Webster)
- It is synonymous with skill, artifice, and craft, which all mean
the faculty of what devised.
ART
- For many people art is a specific thing; a painting, sculpture
or photograph, a dance, a poem or a play. It is all of these
things, and more.
- They are mediums of artistic expression. Webster's New
Collegiate dictionary defines art as the "conscious use of skill
and creative imagination especially in the production of
aesthetic objects."
ART
Joseph Brodsky hints at a definition of art in his poem New Life:
Ultimately, one's unbound, curiosity about these empty zones,
about these objectless vistas, is what art seems to be all about.
- Art is uniquely human and tied directly to culture. It takes the
ordinary and makes it extraordinary. It asks questions about
who we are, what we value, the meaning of beauty and the
human condition.
ART
Visual art is a rich and complex subject whose definition is in
flux as the culture around it changes. Because of this, how we
define art is in essence a question of agreement. In this respect,
we can look again to the dictionary's definition for an
understanding of exactly what to look for when we proclaim
something as 'art.'

- .
ART
As an expressive medium it allows us to experience sublime
joy, deep sorrow, confusion and clarity.
It tests our strengths, vulnerabilities and resolve. It gives voice
to ideas and feelings, connects us to the past, reflects the
present and anticipates the future.
ART
Along these lines, art history, combined with anthropology and
literature, are three main sources in observing, recording and
interpreting our human past. Visual art is a rich and complex
subject whose definition is in flux as the culture around it
changes. Because of this, how we define art is in essence a
question of agreement. In this respect, we can look again to the
dictionary's definition for an understanding of exactly what to
look for when we proclaim something as 'art.'
