What is Art History?
It is the study of objects or works of art in their historical development and stylistic context. This
includes painting, sculpture and architecture.
The components of art include color, shape, line, pattern and the reproduction of visual
likeness. The 2D and 3D art forms were created by Upper Paleolithic Europeans at least 30 000
years ago are conceptually equivalent to those created in recent centuries. The origins of art are
therefore much more ancient and lie within Africa, before worldwide human dispersal.
What is Art?
Art as a term is taken from the Italian word artis, which means craftsmanship, skill, mastery of
form, inventiveness and the association that exist between form and ideas between material and
techniques. From the Aryan root ar, this means to join or put together; from the Greek words
artezein, which means to prepare, and arkiskein, meaning to put together.
In addition, Art is derived from Latin word ars, meaning ability or skill. (J.V. Estolas)
According to Plato,”Art is that which brings life in harmony with the beauty of the world.” While
for F. Zulueta, “Art is the product of man’s need to express himself.” And for John Dewey, “Art
is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind-one which demand for each own satisfaction and
fulfilling, a shaping of matter to new and more significant from.”
AS A PROCESS--Is the
arrangement of aesthetic
elements in an appealing and
interesting matter.
IS IMITATION-- A
representation of reality.
It is the ability to interpret or understand man-made arts and enjoy them either through actual
and work-experience with art tools and materials or possession of these works of art for one’s
admiration and satisfaction. It also centers on the ability to view art throughout history, focusing on
the cultures and the people, and how art developed in the specific periods. Thus, it is difficult to
understand the art without understanding the culture because the connections to the context of art
and the interaction of societies help us to analyze and appreciate a piece of art.
