Appreciation
It is meant to stimulate thought because it allows viewers to
draw their own emotions and pull from their personal
experiences when viewed.

It naturally develops critical and innovative thinking skills.

responding to multiple perspectives.

HISTORY
 Art history is the study of objects of art in their
historical development and stylistic context; that is genre,
design, format, and style. The study includes painting,
sculpture, architecture, ceramics, furniture, and other
decorative objects (Mansfield, 2002)

As a discipline, art history is distinguished from art

criticism, which is concerned with establishing a relative
artistic value upon individual works with respect to others of
comparable style, or sanctioning an entire style or movement;
and art theory or ‘philosophy of art”, which is concerned with
the fundamental nature of art. One of the this area of the
study is aesthetics, which includes investigating the enigma of
the sublime and determining the essence of beauty.
(Elkins,2006)

It Teaches You How to Integrate Information

We have a tendency to use the terms
“being imaginative” and “being
creative” as synonyms, but they
are not. It’s quite possible to be
imaginative without being creative
(Naiman, 2016). Creativity is the act
of turning new and imaginative ideas
into reality. If you have ideas, but
don’t act them, you are imaginative
but not creative.
