RECYCLED ART COLLAGE

 As humans, our brains are wired for creativity, curiosity and
contemplation. Artistic and humanistic pursuits come naturally and
are part of all of our lives.
Creativity is the driving Curiosity could be Contemplation is
force of all artistic defined as an eagerness understood as “quiet
processes. It focuses on to encounter what is serious inner thinking
the process of forming new or unfamiliar and about something,
original ideas through the desire to learn, to especially in order to
exploration and understand new things understand it better”. It
discovery. and to know how they is its own path finding
work. method.
 ARTS

• It has since encompassed a number of forms such as

literature, film, music, sculpture, painting, and, more
recently, photography.
 ARTS
• Art as a term dates back to the thirteenth century. From the
Indo-European root "ar," which means to "assemble or join.”
It also denotes craftmanship, skill, mastery of form,
inventiveness.
• Art serves as a technical and creative record of human
needs and achievements.
• It encompasses a number of forms such as literature, film,
music, sculpture, painting, and, more recently,
photography.
 HUMANITIES

• The term Humanities comes from the Latin word,

“humanitas”.

• It comes from the Latin word “humanus” meaning human,

cultured, and redefined.
 HUMANITIES

• It generally refers to art, literature, music, architecture,

dance and the theatre—in which human subjectivity is
emphasized and individual expressiveness is dramatized.
 HUMANITIES

• Humanities focus on the more man-centered disciplines

compared to art. These are academic fields in which the
human condition is prioritized rather than their works.
Comprising the experiences of man seen in a more personal,
cultural and social context, humanities emphasize a more
analytical and critical method of study as opposed to art's
emotionally-biased perspective.
It’s easiest to understand the distinction if you think of
the arts as focusing on your aesthetic experience of an
artwork —a painting, a dance, a text, a theatrical
performance.
The humanities ask us to dig in and reflect, to critique,
to contextualize those artworks.
Many other definitions emphasize that:

1. Art is more subjective than objective.

2. Art is form and content. (there is always a concept)
3. There is a connection between beauty and art and
beauty is the measure of quality of art.
 Arts and Humanities go
hand in hand!

• The things we call 'the arts' (like theater, dance, music, and
visual art forms) are intertwined with, and often influenced
by, the things we call 'the humanities.'
• To keep it simple, we sometimes say that 'the arts' are
the doing part; 'the humanities are talking about it.'
 The Nature of Art: “Art in our
Lives”
• Art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich.
Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art!
• Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us
laugh.
• Art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves.
 The Nature of Art: “Art in our
Lives”
• For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of
bed in the morning. You could say "Art is something that
makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans.“
 The Nature of Art: “Art in our
Lives”
• On the other hand, art is such a large part of our everyday lives,
we hardly even stop to think about it. Look at the desk or table
where you are right this minute. Someone designed that. It is
art. Your shoes are art. Your coffee cup is art.
• "Art is something that is both functional and aesthetically
pleasing to our eyes."
Many other definitions emphasize that:

1. Art is subjective and art is more subjective than objective.

2. Art is form and content.( there is always a concept).
3. There is a connection between beauty and art and beauty
is the measure of quality of art.
 Functions of Art
Art has a general function of satisfying:

1. People’s individual needs for personal expression.

2. Individuals’ social needs for public display, celebration, and
communication.
3. People’s physical needs for utilitarian objects or structures.
 Functions of Art. PERSONAL.
• Art educates our senses and sharpens our perception of
color, forms, textures, designs, sounds, rhythms, and
harmonies in our environment.

• Art offers fresh insights into nature and human nature so

that we gain better understanding of ourselves and the world
around us.
 Functions of Art. SOCIAL.
Art performs social function when:
1. It seeks to influence the collective behavior of the people.
2. It is created to be seen or used primarily in public situations.
3. It expresses or describes social or collective aspects of
existence as opposed to individual and personal kinds of
experiences.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Paintings, photographs, posters, and cartoons have been used

to express humanitarian concern as well as ideological and
political comment.
The painting Spoliarium by Juan
Luna shows the cruelty,
injustices, sufferings and
helplessness experienced by the
gladiators. The painting reveals
how people were deprived of
their freedom and rights.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Propaganda Literature. Usually very moving and persuasive. It

has the capacity to sway people’s minds and feelings towards
certain ends.
Noli Me Tángere by Filipino writer and
activist José Rizal was published during the
Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. It
explores perceived inequities in law and
practice in terms of the treatment by the
ruling government and the Spanish Catholic
friars of the resident peoples in the late
nineteenth century.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Propaganda Literature. Usually very moving and persuasive. It

has the capacity to sway people’s minds and feelings towards
certain ends.
El Filibusterismo, the second of José Rizal’s
novels of Philippine life, is a story of the last
days of the Spanish régime in the Philippines.
The book represents Rizal’s more mature
judgment on political and social conditions in
the islands, and in its graver and less hopeful
tone reflects the disappointments and
discouragements which he had encountered in
his efforts to lead the way to reform.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

In spreading doctrine or teaching ideas, the arts have been

used in place or as a complement of the written word.
The tympanum. The sculptures on
the tympanum depict the Last Judgment from
the Gospel of Matthew and reveal Christ seating
on the throne of glory. The wounds on his side
and on his hands and feet are a reminder of the
Passion.
An angel on his right holds the spear and the
nails of the Cross. Another angel on Christ’s left
is seen holding the Cross. On either side of Jesus,
Mary and John are praying for the lost souls.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Traditional arts play significant functions in rituals of

communities.
Shiva Linga is also known as the lingam, ling,
Shiv ling. It represents the most important
Hindu deity, Lord Shiva which is placed in the
temples to worship. Shiva Lingam is
worshipped by the Hindu devotees as a
symbol of energy and potential of God. Shiva
linga is considered by the people as Shiva
himself.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Commercial and advertising art aim to affect the buying

behavior of people.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Art is used to commemorate important personages in society.

 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Art are linked to rituals and public celebrations such as

festivals.
 Social Function: Influencing Social Behavior

Artworks are vital historical documents. They describe aspects of

existence at certain periods at certain periods at certain places of
certain communities

Meidias Painter, (flourished c. 420–

400 BC), Greek vase painter known for his
theatrical “florid” style and for his “flying drapery”
and often seen as one of the last great Athenian
vase painters. Painted on it are scenes from the
stories of the “Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus”
and “Heracles in the Garden of the Hesperides.”
 Functions of Art. SOCIAL.
• Tools and containers are objects which function to make our
lives physically comfortable.

• Designing a functional object involves the consideration of

its intended use and its aesthetic look.

HISTORY OF
ART
BEFORE 500- ANCIENT
ART
500-1550 – MEDIEVAL
ART
1400-1600- RENNAISANCE
ART
1600-1725 – BAROQUE
ART
The term Baroque, derived from the Portuguese
‘barocco’ meaning ‘irregular pearl or stone’, refers
to a cultural and art movement that characterized
Europe from the early seventeenth to mid-
eighteenth century. Baroque emphasizes dramatic,
exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted,
detail. Due to its exuberant irregularities, Baroque
art has often been defined as being bizarre, or
uneven.
1720-1760- ROCOCO ART
Rococo art and architecture carried a
strong sense of theatricality and drama,
influenced by stage design. Theater's
influence could be seen in the innovative
ways painting and decorative objects
were woven into various environments,
creating fully immersive atmospheres.
1760-1830 - NEOCLASSICAL
ART
Neoclassicism was an art movement that
sought to evoke the style of classical antiquity
in writing, painting, sculpting, and
architecture found in Greek and Roman
culture. Neoclassicism was most popular
between the late 18th century and early 19th
century. But its influence still reverberates
throughout the art world today.
 1800-1850 -
ROMANTICISM
The Romantic period arose in part when a
society has grown tired of trends in
intellectual thought, rationalization,
industrialization, and the veneration of
science. People longed for the escape of
emotionally charged images and fantastical
fiction in the visual arts and in literature.
1800s - ACADEMIC ART
"Academic art" (sometimes also
"academicism" or "eclecticism") is
traditionally used to describe the style of
true-to-life but highminded realist
painting and sculpture championed by
the European academies of art, notably
the French Academy of Fine Arts.
1840-1870- REALISM

Realism is an art movement that

attempted to paint human subjects as
they really existed in all their flaws,
suffering, and imperfections.
1840-1854- PRE- RAPHAELITE
ART
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Art
Characteristics include: vivid detail,
symbolism and tight brushstrokes. The
artists of the Pre-Raphaelitism eschewed the
looser style influenced by Sir Joshua
Reynolds and others in the Royal Academy.
Instead, Pre-Raphaelite painting techniques
created works that mimicked medieval art.
 1870-18900-
IMPRESSIONISM
Impressionism describes a style of painting
developed in France during the mid-to-
late 19th century; characterizations of the
style include small, visible brushstrokes that
offer the bare impression of form, unblended
color and an emphasis on the accurate
depiction of natural light.
1880- 1920 – POST
IMPRESSIONISM

Post-Impressionists extended the use of vivid colors,

thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and
real-life subject matter, and were more inclined to
emphasize geometric forms, distort forms for expressive
effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colors in their
compositions.
1880-1910- SYMBOLISM
Symbolism was an art movement in response
to Realism and Impressionism. Poets, musicians, artists,
and writers all used Symbolism to express meaning in
an indirect manner. Symbolist painters wanted their
pictures to depict a meaning beyond just the figures
they drew. Symbolist painters used a wide variety of
subjects including heroes, women, animals, and
landscapes. They typically gave these subjects deep
meanings such as love, death, sin, religion, or disease.
They would use metaphors (or symbols) rather than
real life to represent something.
1905-1908 - FAUVISM
Painting portraits, landscapes and nudes, the
Fauvists enhanced the colours and tones of the
natural world, whilst closely observing scientific
colour theories that had been developed in the
previous century. Fauvism combines so many of
the art movements that proceeded it, borrowing
everything from German Expressionism to neo-
Impressionism.
 1905-1925 -
EXPRESSIONISM
Expressionism is considered more as an
international tendency than a coherent art
movement, which was particularly influential at
the beginning of the twentieth century. It spanned
various fields: art, literature, music, theatre, and
architecture. Expressionist artists sought to
express emotional experience, rather than physical
reality.
1908-1920 - CUBISM
Cubism was a revolutionary new
approach to representing reality invented
in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo
Picasso and Georges Braque. They
brought different views of subjects
(usually objects or figures) together in the
same picture, resulting in paintings that
appear fragmented and abstracted.
1909-1918- FUTURISM

Futurism was an Italian art

movement of the early twentieth
century that aimed to capture in art
the dynamism and energy of the
modern world.
From 1910 - ABSTRACT
ART

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to

represent an accurate depiction of a visual
reality but instead use shapes, colours,
forms and gestural marks to achieve its
effect.
1916-1923- DADA ART
Dada was an art movement formed
during the First World War in Zurich
in negative reaction to the horrors
and folly of the war. The art, poetry
and performance produced by dada
artists is often satirical and
nonsensical in nature.
 1915-1945 -
PRECISIONISM
Precisionist artworks are characterized by
their unexpected viewpoints and angles,
a sharp focus, and dynamic
compositions. Precisionism a style of
painting in which the object is depicted
realistically with an emphasis on the
geometrical form of the object in perfect
precision, as the name of the style
indicates, so it would appear like a
photograph.
 From 1920s-
SURREALISM
Surrealism aims to revolutionize human
experience. It balances a rational vision of
life with one that asserts the power of the
unconscious and dreams. The movement's
artists find magic and strange beauty in the
unexpected and the uncanny, the
disregarded and the unconventional.
1920-1935 – ART DECO

Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is

characterized by rich colors, bold
geometry, and decadent detail
work. Having reached the height of
its popularity in the 1920s, '30s, and
'40s, the style still brings in glamour,
luxury, and order with symmetrical
designs in exuberant shapes
1956-1960s- POP ART
An abbreviation of Popular Art, Pop
art is characterized by a
deconstruction of images seen in
popular culture – television, comic
books, magazines, movies and other
various forms of advertising
CONCEPTUAL ART AND
INSTALLATION ART

Installation art also overlaps with the

Conceptual art movement, since they both
prioritize the importance of ideas over the
work's technical merit. However, Conceptual
art tends to be more understated and
minimalist, whereas Installation art is often
bold and more object-based.
The contemporary world is an ever-changing
mix of social and political changes.

ELEMENTS OF ART
There are circumstances and ideas of the
present age where it deals with problems
and issues related to environment,
population, wealth, power, tensions, and
conflicts.

space. Line may be two-or three-dimensional,
descriptive, implied, or abstract.
LINE
 SHAPE
• An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat,
or limited to height and width.
SHAPE
 FORM
• An element of art that is three-dimensional and
encloses volume; includes height, width AND
depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a
cylinder). Form may also be free flowing.
 VALUE
• The lightness or darkness of tones or colors.
White is the lightest value; black is the darkest.
The value halfway between these extremes is
called middle gray.
VALUE
 SPACE

PRINCIPLES OF
mix of social and political changes.
There are circumstances and ideas of the

ART
present age where it deals with problems
and issues related to environment,
population, wealth, power, tensions, and
conflicts.
 CONTRAST
• As a principle of art, contrast refers to the
arrangement of opposite elements and effects.
For example, light and dark colors, smooth and
rough textures, large and small shapes. Contrast
can be used to create variety, visual interest, and
drama in an artwork.
 REPETITION AND PATTERN
• Artists often use repeated items or patterns in order
to make an interesting design for many different
effects. Pattern and repetition also help create a
unified composition and stability in the picture.
Variation of the pattern adds interest to the work of
art.
 EMPHASIS
• A way of combining elements to stress the
differences between those elements
 BALANCE
• A way of combining elements to add a feeling of
equilibrium or stability to a work of art. Major
types are symmetrical and asymmetrical.
 MOVEMENT AND RHYTHM
• Movement is a principle of design used to create
the look and feeling of action and to guide the
viewer’s eye throughout the work of art. Rhythm
refers to the movement within a piece of art that
helps the eye travel through the to a point of
focus.
 UNITY
• UNITY is about separate parts working together
in a composition. In an artwork, unity creates a
sense of harmony and wholeness by using
similar elements and placing them in a way that
creates a feeling of “oneness.”
