-Every art form has a definite function since it satisfies a
particular need.
nature and human creations, enriching our lives with
enjoyment and understanding.
2.Utilitarian Function Art isn't just about beauty; it also
serves practical purposes by providing us with things like
shelter, clothing, and entertainment, making our lives
more comfortable and enjoyable.
3. Cultural Function Art preserves and shares knowledge
and skills across generations, helping us understand our
cultural heritage and enriching our lives with enduring
traditions.
4. Social Function Art fosters love, empathy, and
cooperation among people, promoting understanding
between different communities and nations.
5. Political Function Art can reinforce political identities
and beliefs, connecting people to specific ideologies or
political parties, and sometimes serving as a tool for
political expression and communication.
6. Educational Function Art uses symbols and signs to
teach us things that can't always be said with words,
helping us understand ideas and attitudes.
7. Spiritual Function Some art reflects beliefs, customs,
and rituals about the meaning and purpose of life, often
with religious importance.These artworks can deepen our
spiritual connection and understanding
-The philosophy of art is all about understanding what art
is, how it's made, what it means, and how we interpret it.
1.Art as Mimesis This is like saying art is a copy or imitation
of reality. Plato and Aristotle, ancient Greek philosophers,
thought this. They believed artists were imitating nature
when they created art. So, when an artist paints a tree,
they're imitating the real tree.
2. Art as Representation It means art represents
something. When you see a painting of a flower, you know
it's representing a real flower. Artists use signs and symbols
to stand for things in the world.
3. Art for Art's Sake This idea, popularized by Kant and
others, says art doesn't need a reason to exist. It doesn't
have to teach a lesson or have a deeper meaning. It's
valuable just because it's art. This is where the saying "Art
for art's sake" comes from. It's like saying art is valuable
simply because it's beautiful or interesting, without
needing any other purpose.
4. Art as an Escape Using art as a way to release built-up
stress and anxiety. When people keep worries inside, it can
turn into anger or hate. Artists express these feelings
through their art, like painting or music, which helps them
feel better. When others see the art, it can also make them
feel emotions.
5. Art as Functional Making art that's not just pretty but
also useful. For example, a chair made from cardboard or a
boat made from paper. These pieces make us see everyday
things differently and show how creativity can make
ordinary things beautiful and practical at the same time.
-The subject of art is what the artwork is all about. It's like
the main focus or theme. Whether it's a person, an object,
a scene, or an event, the subject is what the artist is trying
to represent or show in their work. So, if you see a painting
of a flower, the flower is the subject.
TYPES OF SUBJECTS:
Representation or Objective Arts It show things that are
easily recognizable by most people. Examples include
paintings, sculptures, graphic arts, literature, and theater
arts. These artworks typically depict subjects like people,
animals, landscapes, or objects.
NON-REPRESENTATIONAL/ NON-OBJECTIVE ARTS
artworks that don't look like anything real. They don't
represent specific subjects; instead, they focus on
elements like shapes and colors.
-Artists are people who use their imagination and skills to
create things like paintings, sculptures, music, and writing.
Artisans, on the other hand, are craftsmen who make
practical or decorative objects like furniture, clothing, or
kitchen utensils. While artists focus on creativity and
expression, artisans focus on making things that are
functional and can be used in daily life.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE KEY COMPONENTS IN THE ART
MARKET:
A curator is like a manager of a cultural place such as a
museum or gallery. Post-production or exhibition After the
artwork is completed, it's displayed, shared, or performed
for others to see and enjoy. This stage is about presenting
the finished piece to the audience and the public
An art buyer is someone who knows a lot about art and
might look for new talent for a company or collector.
An art dealer is a person or company that buys and sells
art. They need to know about art history and the business
side of the art world.
A private collection is a personal collection of art. It could
be owned by an individual or an organization and could be
on loan to a museum or gallery for display.
The creative process is like a journey where you make
something new. According to Robert Fritz, there are steps
you can follow:
1. Conceive the result you want. First, you need to have a
clear idea of what you want to create. This is like having a
vision or goal.
2. Know what currently exists. Then, you need to know
what already exists in that area so you can build on it or do
something different.
3. Take actions. Next, you have to take action to make your
idea real. This might involve mistakes and starting over
sometimes.
4. Develop your creativity. As you create more things, you
get better at being creative. You 'll learn from each
experience and become more skilled at turning your ideas
into reality.
5. Learn the rhythms of the creative. Finally, there are
three main stages in every creative process: coming up
with ideas, understanding them, and finishing your
creation. These stages help you understand how creativity
works.
THREE STAGES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS:
1.Germination (Idea) This is when you first come up with
an idea for a project. It's like planting a seed for your
creation. The most important part here is choosing the
right idea and being specific about what you want to do.
2. Assimilation In this stage, you start to really understand
and internalize your idea. You plan, analyze, and gather
resources to make it happen. Your project becomes a part
of you, growing and becoming more real with every
thought and action.
3. Completion This is when you finish your project and give
it its final shape. .It can be tough because you might feel
tired or distracted by new ideas. Setting a deadline helps,
and it's important not to get bogged down in small details.
Celebrating your finished project is a great way to wrap
things up and get ready for your next adventure!
THREE STAGES IN ART MAKING:
1.Pre-production or subject Development This is when the
artist plans and develops the idea for their artwork. Once
the planning is done, they move on to creating the actual
content.
2. Production or medium manipulation This is where the
artist uses different materials and techniques to create
their artwork. It's the act of bringing their ideas to life and
making something that others can appreciate and use.
3. Post-production or exhibition After the artwork is
completed, it's displayed, shared, or performed for others
to see and enjoy. This stage is about presenting the
finished piece to the audience and the public.
Medium It refers to the materials that are used by an artist
to create a work of art. The plural or medium is media.
Without the medium, an idea remains a concept, or it
would just dwell in the walls of the artist’s imagination. It is
challenging to manipulate medium and transform in from
its raw state.
different art mediums:
-Fresco Painting - Tempera
-Encaustic - mosaic
- stained glass - tapestry
- granite - jade
- clay - bistre
- print making - lithography
