Introduction to the
Study of Art
TOPIC 2: ASSUMPTIONS OF ART

rt is Universal
Art has always been timeless and
universal, spanning generations and
continents through and through. In
every country and every generation,
there is always art. The first
assumption about the humanities is
that art has been crafted by all people
regardless of origin, time, place, and
that it stayed on because it is liked
and enjoyed by people continuously.
TOPIC 2: ASSUMPTIONS OF ART

t is not Nature
Art is man’s expression of his
reception of nature. Art is not nature.
Art is made by man, whereas nature is
a given around us. Art is based on an
individual’s subjective experience of
nature. It is not meant, after all, to
accurately define what a thing is like in
nature. Artists are not expected to
duplicate nature; they can only
reinterpret it or even distort it.
TOPIC 2: ASSUMPTIONS OF ART

involves Experience
Art is always an experience. Unlike fields of
knowledge that involve data, art is known by
experience. Dudley et al. (1960) affirmed that “all
art depends on experience, and if one is to know
art, he must know it not as fact or information but
as experience.” A work of art then cannot be
abstracted from actually doing. In order to know
what an artwork is, we have to sense it, see or hear
it, and see and hear it. An important aspect of
experiencing art is its sense of being highly
personal, individual, and subjective. In philosophical
terms, the perception of art is always a value
judgment. It depends on who the perceiver is, his
tastes, his biases, and what he has inside him.
