Meaning and Importance of
Art Appreciation
Art appreciation refers to the knowledge and
understanding of the general and everlasting
qualities that classify all great arts.
Art appreciation is the introduction and
exploration of visual and performing art forms.
Art appreciation is the analysis of the form of
an art work to general audience to enhance their
enjoyment and satisfaction of the works of art.

19. Appreciation of art can
be subjective.
Their appreciation of art depends on
personal preference on: (1) the
aesthetics and form of art; (2)
elements and principles of design;
and (3) social and cultural
acceptance.

20. Art History refers to the historical
development and stylistic context of the
objects of arts that includes the major and
minor arts. The major arts include painting,
sculpture, and architecture as well as the
minor arts like ceramics, furniture, and
other decorative arts.
1
Art History
As a term, art history or history of art
encompasses the different methods of
studying visual art.
As a discipline, art history is not similar
to art criticism. Art criticism determines
the relative artistic values of an
individual work in comparison with others of
comparable style.
2
Art historians based their studies by
scrutinizing objects of arts by
answering historically such questions
as the key features of the art style,
what does the art convey and how does
it function visually.

21. my dream office
Art historians examine the works of art in the
context of its time or within which it was created.
The works of art subject to scrutiny are the
creator's motivations, desires and prejudices of its
patrons and sponsors. Comparative analysis of
themes and approaches of the creator's
colleagues and teachers and the symbolism of the
art of works.
Art historians analyze the works of arts through
the analysis of their forms. The analysis is focused
on the artist's use of line, shape, color, texture,
composition and other art elements.
Methods Used in Art
History

22. next stop
The two-dimensional and three-dimensional
picture planes are two approaches in creating art.
The way the elements of arts employed results to
either representational or non-representational art.

23. Representational Art
If the artist copy or
imitate an object or
image found in
nature, this
approach is called
representational
art.
Representational Art

24. Non-representational Art
If the artist creates an
art in a realistic manner
(not imitation) rely on
symbolism or striving to
capture nature's
essence, the art is non-
representational,
which is also called
abstract art.
Abstract Art

25. next stop
Impressionism as an example of
representation style is produced when the
artwork was not directly imitative but an
impression of nature.
In expressionism, the work of art is not
representational but the expression of the
artist's feelings, longings, aspirations, and
ideals of beauty and form.

26. my dream office
Art historians also use critical theory in analyzing
objects of arts when dealing with more recent
objects. Art historians often borrowed from literary
scholars when it involves the application of a non-
artistic analytical framework to the study of art
objects.
Another method in art history is the application of
media and digital technology. This is the recent
method in analyzing art history.
Methods Used in Art
History

27. What is the
purpose of art
history?
Why art history is
important?
How important is art
history?
To place art in a social and
historical context
To see how things like war,
religion, politics, technological
change have effect not only on
the artist but on the artwork
that was produced.
It has more advantage over art
appreciation when evaluating
works of art. The more
information an evaluation has on
the works of art, the better an
evaluation he can make over the
works of art.
When a person has more
context when looking at
something such as piece of art
work, he could better
understand more the story
behind that particular piece of
art work.
