1. In one of your encounters with art through
museum visits, musicals, and plays among
others, have you ever felt disconnected from an
artwork?
CREATIVITY
IMAGINATION
EXPRESSION
It takes an artist to make art, one may perceive
beauty on a daily basis. However, not every
beautiful thing that can be seen or experienced may
truly be called a work of art. Art is a product of
man’s creativity, imagination, and expression.
Not everyone can be considered an artist, but all
are spectators of art. We are able to distinguish
what is fine and beautiful from what is not and
what is good quality and from poor. This gives us a
role in the field of art appreciation.
ART APPRECIATION AS A WAY OF LIFE “The role
of art as a creative work is to depict the world in a
completely different light and perspective”
– Jean-Paul Sartre –
Each artwork beholds beauty in its own kind, the
kind that the artist sees and wants the viewers to
perceive.
More often than not, people are blind to this beauty
and only those who have developed a fine sense of
appreciation can experience and see the art the way
the artist did.
Hence, refining one’s ability to appreciate arts allows
him to deeply understand the purpose of an artwork
and recognize the beauty it possesses.
In cultivating an appreciation of art, one should also
exercise and develop his taste for things that are fine
and beautiful. Learning to appreciate art no matter
what vocation or profession you have, will lead to a
fuller and more meaningful life
This allows individuals to make intelligent choices
and decisions in acquiring necessities and luxuries,
knowing what gives better value for time or money
while taking into consideration the aesthetic and
practical value.
THE ROLE OF
CREATIVITY IN
ART MAKING
Creativity requires thinking outside the box. In art,
creativity is what sets apart one artwork from
another.
ART AS A PRODUCT OF
IMAGINATION
“Imagination” is more important than knowledge. For
knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand,
while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there
ever will be to know and understand.”
– Albert Einstein
Imagination is not constrained by the walls of the norm,
but goes beyond that. Through imagination, one is able to
craft something bold, something new, and something
better in the hopes of creating something that will
stimulate change.
ART AS EXPRESSION
“What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it,
but express it. Through expression, he is able to
explore his own emotions and at the same time,
create something beautiful out of them.”
– Robin George Collingwood –
VISUAL ARTS creations that fall under this category
are those that appeals to the sense of sight, and are
mainly visual in nature. Artists produce visual arts
driven by their desire to reproduce things that they
have seen in the way that they perceived them.
There are also other artistic disciplines that also
involve a visual aspect, such as performance arts,
theater, and applied arts. Some mediums of visual
arts include paintings, drawings, letterings, printing,
sculpture, and digital imaging.
Film refers to the art of putting together successions
of still images in order to create an illusion of
movement. Filmmaking focuses on its aesthetic,
cultural, and social value and is considered both an
art and an industry.
 Techniques in film-making process:
✓ Motion-picture camera (also known as movie
camera)
✓ Animation techniques
✓ Computer-generated imagery (CGI)
Filmmaking simulates experiences or creates one
that is beyond the scope of our imagination as it aims
to deliver ideas, feelings, or beauty to its viewers
Performance art is a live art and the artist’s medium
is mainly the human body which he or she uses to
perform, but also employs other kind of art such as
visual art, props, or sound.
Elements of performance arts: Time where the
performance took place, The performer’s body, or
relationship between the audience and the
performers.
Poetry is an art form where the artist expresses his
emotions not by using paint, charcoal, or camera, but
expresses them through words.
These words are carefully selected to exhibit clarity
and beauty and to stimulate strong emotions of joy,
anger, love, sorrow among others.
It uses a word’s emotional, musical, and spatial
values that go beyond its literal meaning to narrate
emphasize, argue, or convince. These words combined
with movements, tone, volume, and intensity of the
delivery add to the artistic, value of the poem
Art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful things
while architecture is the making of beautiful
buildings.
However, not all building are beautiful because some
only embody the functionality they need, but the
structure, lines, forms, and colors are not beautifully
expressed.
 Important elements:
✓ Plan
✓ Construction
✓ Design
✓ Buildings should embody these three important
elements if they wish to merit the title
architecture.
Dance is a series of movements that follows the
rhythm of the music accompaniment. Dancing is a
creative art form that allows people to freely express
themselves. IT HAS NO RULES.
Choreography may seem not to allow this, but in art
expression, dancers are not confined to set steps and
rules but are free to create and invent their own
movements as longs as they deem them graceful and
beautiful.
Literary arts artists who practice literary arts use
words to express themselves and communicate
emotions to the readers.
Simply becoming a writer does not make one a
literary artist. Literary art goes beyond the usual
professional, academic, journalistic and other
technical forms of writing.
It focuses on writing using a unique style, not following a
specific format or norm. It may include both fiction and
non-fiction such as novels, biographies, and poems.
Romeo and Juliet – William Shakespeare –
The Little Prince – Antoine de Sain-Exupery
Theater uses live performers to present accounts or
imaginary events before a live audience. Theater art
performance usually follows follow a script, though
they should not be confused with literary arts
Like in filmmaking, theater also considers several
elements such as acting, gesture, lighting, sound
effects, musical score, scenery and props.
Like performance art, theater also is a live
performance. Genres: drama, musical, tragedy,
comedy and improvisation
Applied arts is incorporating elements of style and
design to everyday items with the aim of increasing
their aesthetic value.
Artists in this field bring beauty, charm, and comfort
into many things that were useful in everyday life.
Industrial design, interior design, fashion design, and
graphic design.
