Humanities
• The term Humanities comes from the latin word
“humanitas” that includes grammar, philosophy, literature,
history and music
• It records or interprets man’s thinking, feelings, regrets,
aspirations, failures and what to he supposed not to do in
the world
ART
• Art is one of the oldest and most important means of
expression developed by a human
• Art has been created by all people at all times.
• Art is creative expression that nurtures imagination, and
not a lesson in following directions. Through painting,
sculpture, collage, clay moulding, drawing or any other
medium, art is a way for children to work through
emotions, make decisions, and express their ideas.
Definition of Art
• Art is derived from the latin word “Ars” meaning ability or
skill - J.V. Estolas
• Art is taken from the italian word “artis” which means
craftmanship, skill, mastery of form, inventiveness and the
associations that exist between form and ideas, and
between material and technique. – A. Tan
• Art is a product of man’s need to express himself – F.
Zulueta
• Art is concerned itself with the communication of certain
ideas and feelings by means of sensuous medium, color,
sound, bronze, marble, words, and film - C. Sanchez
History of Art
• The history of art focuses on objects made by humans
for any number of spiritual, narrative, philosophical,
symbolic, conceptual, documentary, decorative, and even
functional and other purposes, but with a primary
emphasis on its aesthetic visual form.
• The history of art is often told as a chronology
of masterpieces created during each civilization. It can
thus be framed as a story of high culture, epitomized by
the Wonders of the World
Art Appreciation
• Art appreciation helps open up the mindset of the
people, by listening to different perspectives and views as
well as interpretations of the art, it encourages thoughtful
conversation and the understanding that there is more
than one approach to everything.
• Art appreciation Is the ability to interpret or understand
man made arts and enjoy them either through actual and
work experience with arts toll and materials or possession
of the works of art for ones admiration and satisfaction
Philosophy of art
• philosophy of art, the study of the nature of art, including
concepts such as interpretation, representation and
expression, and form. It is closely related to aesthetics,
the philosophical study of beauty and taste.
• The philosophy of art is distinguished from art criticism,
which is concerned with the analysis and evaluation of
particular works of art. Critical activity may be primarily
historical, as when a lecture is given on the conventions of
the Elizabethan theatre in order to explain some of the
devices used in William Shakespeare’s plays.
