ARTISAN. Definitions of Artist and Artisan: ... An artist on the other hand is dedicated only to the creative
side, making visually pleasing work only for the enjoyment and appreciation of the viewer, but with no
functional value.

Difference—

- An artist is a person who performs any of the creative arts. This can range from painting to music. An
artisan, on the other hand, is a skilled worker who makes things by hand.
- Fine artists work with paint, watercolor, pen and ink, or illustrations, while artisans craft work like
jewelry, glasswork, pottery or other functional products. Artists focus on creating aesthetically pleasing
works, while artisans' work focuses on accessorizing and functionality more than aesthetics.

Artists work in the fine arts, including painting, illustration and sculpture. Artisans are craftsmen who work in
textiles, pottery, glass and other areas.

SIGNIFICANCE

We study from other artists and artisans to learn from their experiences, skills, and expertise.
The artistic knowledge that is passed on from generation-to-generation helps create and develop new
progressive ideas.

ART APPRECIATION
the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or
sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
"the art of the Renaissance"
 arts in Medieval Latin came to mean something different. ... ASSUMPTIONS OF ART: v Art is universal – Art has
always been timeless and universal, spanning generations and continents through and through. v Art is not nature
– Art is man's expression of his reception of nature. Art is man's way of interpreting nature.

 Art is everywhere.
 Art is not nature.
 Art is imitating and creating.
 Art perfects nature.
 Art message is universal.

 The assumptions tackle the principles and sources of appreciating art and establish the margin and
boundary of the responsibility and duty in fulfilling what man is capable of doing.
Universal
-ASSUMPTIONS OF ART: v Art is universal – Art has always been timeless and universal, spanning generations and
continents through and through. v Art is not nature – Art is man's expression of his reception of nature. Art is man's
way of interpreting nature. ... A work of art then cannot be abstracted from actual doing.
-Art is man-made construct. Moreover, “art is not nature” means that it is not a natural occurrence. ... Some are said
Art is part of nature because it is universal, art is cultural, and art involves experience. Artist are attempting to
communicate at a powerful emotional level to those within their own culture.
-Three assumptions on art are its universality, its not being nature, and its need for experience. Without experience,
there is no art. The artist has to be foremost, a perceiver who is directly in touch with art.

Why arts is a way of life

-Art gives us meaning and helps us understand our world. Scientific studies have proven that art
appreciation improves our quality of life and makes us feel good. When we create art, we elevate our mood, we
improve our ability to problem solve, and open our minds to new ideas.

The role of creativity in art making

Cesar Aguilar. Creativity is the ability to create items that inspire and inform others, often in aesthetically pleasing
ways. Aldo Sarellano. Creativity is thinking outside of society's norm. It is being able to express oneself in different
varieties of arts - painting, poetry, sculpture, style, fashion, etc.
Art as a product of imagination
Remember that art is made by persons aided by art materials, tools and skills, and shaped by their creativity and
imagination. ... No matter how close art is to nature, the human mind, heart and hands are the one's that shape art.
Art as expression
Art, at its root, is an expression and the artist is an expresser, translating in order to create meaning. Art expresses
and translates, art acknowledges and reveals, art transfers and art intervenes. Art is an expression—an expression
of feeling, belief, and character.
