ART APPRECIATION

CREATIVITY
IMAGINATION and
EXPRESSION
By the end of this lesson, you should be able
to:

1. Differentiate art from nature

2. Characterize artistic expression based on
personal experiences with art.
3. Discuss the nature of art’s preliminary
expression, and
4. Categorize works of art by citing personal
experiences.
• 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
• 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.
• Learning to appreciate art no matter what
vocation or profession you have, will lead to a
fuller and more meaningful life.
THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN ART MAKING

• Creativity requires thinking outside the box.

• In art, creativity is what sets apart one artwork
from another.
When can we say that something is creative?

• When we have not seen anything like it

• When it is out of the ordinary
• When it is not just a copy or imitation of
someone’s work

– … THERE IS ORIGINALITY
• Nowadays, being creative can be quite
challenging.
 ART AS A PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION,
IMAGINATION AS A PRODUCT OF ART

• “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.
• In artist’s mind sits a vast gallery of artworks
• An artwork does not need to be a real thing,
but can be something that is imaginary.
• However, something imaginary does not
necessarily mean it cannot be called art.
Artists use their imagination that gives birth to
reality through creation.
• In the same way that imagination produces
art, art also inspires imagination.
 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
• Expressing emotions is different from
describing emotions.
• This makes people’s art not a reflection of
what is outside or external to them, but a
reflection of their inner selves.
 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.
 VISUAL ARTS
• 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, digital imaging.
 FILM
• 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.
 FILM
• Techniques in film-making process
- Motion-picture camera ( also known as
movie camera )
- Animation techniques
- Computer-generated imagery ( CGI )
 FILM
• 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
• 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.
 PERFORMANCE ART
• Elements of performance arts:
- Time
- Where the performance took place
- The performer’s body
Relationship between the audience and the
performer(s)
 PERFORMANCE ART
• The fact that performance art is live makes it
intangible, which means it cannot be bought
or traded as a commodity.
 POETRY PERFORMANCE
• 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.
 POETRY PERFORMANCE
• 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
 ARCHITECTURE
• Art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful
things while architecture is the making of
beautiful buildings.
• However, not all buildings are beautiful
because some only embody the functionality
then need, but the structure, lines, forms and
colors are not beautifully expressed.
 ARCHITECTURE
• Important elements
- Plan
- Construction
- Design
• Buildings should embody these three
important elements if they wish to merit the
title architecture.
 DANCE
• 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
 DANCE
• 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 long as they
deem them graceful and beautiful.
 LITERARY ART
• 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.
 LITERARY ART
• 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

- The Little Prince – Antoine de Sain-Exupery
 THEATER
• Theater uses live performers to present
accounts or imaginary events before a live
audience.
• Theater art performance usually follows a
script, though they should not be confused
with literary arts.
 THEATER

several elements such as acting, gesture,
lighting, sound effects, musical score, scenery
and props.

performance
