Realism
The artist must have the ability to do
whatever he/she sees, thinks, or imagines
in a realistic manner. Artists tend to
portray real and typical contemporary
people and situations with truth and
accuracy. Realism in the arts, the accurate,
detailed, unembellished depiction of
nature or of contemporary life.
 Composition
Skills
·Composition refers to the arrangement of
visual elements in a work of art; literally, the
word means “putting together”. All artistic
elements can be arranged in various ways.
 Wi d e
Imagination
Artists have always been so imaginative in using
their skills. They tend to go beyond the ordinary
and just set on a new dimension for people to
even notice it.
 Knowledgeable of
craft/skill
·No one has ever seen an artist who is not
knowledgeable of his or her skill. An artist will
make his or her craft or skills great if he or she
is skillful, not just based by the looks of him or
her.
 Possess Values
·Nothing is as more as realistic than what is depicted truthfully on the skill of an artist that
he or she possesses. There are right and wrong ways of an art and how you represent it.
Why should we care about art? Art, especially in the contemporary era, is easy to dismiss as
selfish pastime for people who have too much time on their hands. Art has been valued
through history and is even valuable today.
 Types of Valuing Art
The value of
creating
-At the most basic level, the act of creating art is in
itself rewarding. Children draw for the joy of it before
they can speak, and creating pictures, sculptures and
writing is both a valuable means of communicating
ideas and is simply fun. Free-form creativity leads to
new ideas.
 Types of Valuing Art
M a t e r i a l Va l u e
Through the ages, art has often been created from
valuable materials. Gold, ivory and gemstones adorn
medieval crowns, and even the paints used by
renaissance artists were made from rare materials.
Not only do those objects may have created value, but
based from their beauty and craftsmanship it is indeed
intrinsically valuable.
 Types of Valuing Art
H i s t o r i c a l Va l u e
Art is a record of cultural history. Many ancient
cultures have been entirely lost to time, except for the
artworks they created, a legacy that helps us
understand the lives and times of its creators.

S y m b o l i c Va l u e
Art is uniquely suited to communicating ideas.
Whether it’s writing or painting or sculpture, artwork
can distill complex concepts into symbols that can be
understood, in some cases across the language
barriers and cultures.
 Art materials and media

Artists all occupy a special position in terms of their respective artistic approach and their
choice of techniques and materials. As what being discussed on our previous modules,
most of the artists don’t have a formal study but self-taught. They make use of materials
and media such as: wood, paper, paint, milk, rice,wax, plaster, stone, glass, metal, plastics,
photos, videos, and computers.
