11. Importance of Studying Art Appreciation

12. Relevance of Art Appreciation . When you think of art, you might first think of famous works from artists like van Gogh, Warhol, Picasso, or Monet. What we often forget is that art has been around since the days of the caveman. Art has played a significant role throughout our history. However, it is also a part of our lives now from the clothing we wear to the video games we play, the cars we drive to the covers or pictures in the books or magazines we read. It will continue to be a part of our future and the future of our loved ones for many generations to come.Art is not meant to be looked at only for what it is. It is meant to stimulate thought because it allows viewers to draw their own emotions and pull from their personal experiences when viewed. It is very powerful in this way and it naturally develops critical and innovative thinking skills.

13. Relevance of Art Appreciation Art also teaches many important qualities such as listening, observing and responding to multiple perspectives. Art appreciation is something art teachers should strive to instill in students. It encompasses so much more than just looking at a piece of art or learning about the artist. Due to the subjective nature of art, students can learn to construct meaning and articulate their thoughts when they express, in their own words, their personal opinions about what they are seeing, feeling and thinking. This allows students an opportunity to develop an open mind and understand that there is more than just one solution to a problem. Having an appreciation for art also helps us to develop an appreciation for each other and how we are all unique in our own way.

14. Having an appreciation for art also helps us to develop an appreciation for each other and how we are all unique in our own way. Talking about art provides students with a forum for developing their literacy and communication skills. Promoting these conversations about art help students develop visual thinking skills where they are able to observe closely, describe what they see in detail, and also provide evidence for their observations.Art helps us make sense of our world, and it broadens our experience and understanding. The arts enable us to imagine the unimaginable, and to connect us to the past, the present, and the future, sometimes simultaneously.Great literature, films and visual art transport us to different places and cultures; great art even allows us to see ourselves and our own community through a different perspective

15. ."Philosophy" comes from Greek words meaning "love of wisdom." Philosophy uses the tools of logic and reason to analyze the ways in which humans experience the world. It teaches critical thinking, close reading, clear writing, and logical analysis; it uses these to understand the language we use to describe the world, and our place within it.Philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand themselves, the world they live in, and the relations to the world and each other.Those who study philosophy are engaged in asking, answering, evaluating, and reasoning about some of life's most basic, meaningful, and difficult questions about human existence.Far from being an abstract and useless field, philosophy is among the most practical courses of study.

16. Taking philosophy courses imparts skills that will be useful not only in any career but also in your personal life. The study of philosophy will enable you to think carefully, critically, and with clarity, take a logical approach to addressing challenging questions and examining hard issues, reason well and evaluate the reasoning of others, discuss sensibly, and write effectively. Philosophy develops intellectual abilities important for life as a whole, beyond the knowledge and skills required for any particular profession. It enhances analytical, critical, and interpretive capacities that are applicable to any subject matter and in any human context.

17. ART IS PRODUCT OF CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION

18. CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION

19. IMAGINATION Imagination involves thinking of something that is not present, such as an object, place, or time. It allows us to envision the impossible or unreal. Imagination requires context to form ideas.

20. CREATIVITY Creativity is about doing something meaningful with our imagination. It involves using imagination to generate new and valuable ideas. Creativity requires exploring and refining ideas to turn them into reality. Creativity involves the convergence of ideas, motivation, freedom to explore, intelligence, and energy to see the process through. Simply having ideas without acting on them does not constitute creativity.

21. ART HISTORY

22. ART HISTORY Art history is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts; that is genre, design, format, and style. The study includes painting, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, furniture, and other decorative objects (Mansfield, 2002).As a term, art history, its product being history of art, encompasses several methods of studying the visual arts; in common usage referring.to works of art and architecture.

23. ART HISTORY 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 branch of this area of study is aesthetics, which includes investigating the enigma of the sublime and determining the essence of beauty (Elkins, 2006)

24. ART HISTORY .Art history is not only a biographical endeavor. Art historians often root their studies in the scrutiny of individual objects. They thus attempt to answer in historically specific ways, questions such as: What are key features of this style, What meaning did this object convey, How does it function visually, Did the artist meet their goals well, What symbols are involved, and Does it function discursively?

32. ART IS NOT NATURE

33. ART IS NOT NATURE "Art is not nature" refers to the distinction between natural phenomena and human-created artistic expressions. It emphasizes that while art may draw inspiration from nature, it is fundamentally a product of human creativity and intentionality. In simpler terms, this phrase suggests that while art can be inspired by the beauty and wonder of the natural world, it is distinct from nature itself. Art involves the deliberate manipulation of materials, forms, and concepts by artists to create something that reflects their imagination, emotions, and ideas.

34. ART IS NOT NATURE For example, a landscape painting may depict a scene from nature, but the painting itself is a human-made representation of that scene. Similarly, a sculpture inspired by a flower may capture the essence of nature's beauty, but it is the result of an artist's interpretation and craftsmanship. Overall, "art is not nature" underscores the unique role of human creativity in the production of artistic works, highlighting the transformative and subjective nature of artistic expression.

35. ART INVOLVE EXPERIENCE

36. ART INVOLVE EXPERIENCE "Art involves experience" suggests that engaging with art is a personal and subjective encounter that goes beyond mere observation. It emphasizes the importance of experiencing art firsthand to fully appreciate its impact and significance. In simpler terms, this phrase highlights that art is not just something to look at; it is something to be felt, understood, and interpreted through direct interaction. Whether viewing a painting, listening to music, or attending a performance, experiencing art involves connecting with it on an emotional, intellectual, or sensory level.

37. ART INVOLVE EXPERIENCE For example, when looking at a painting, the experience may involve examining the brushstrokes, colors, and composition while also reflecting on the artist's intent and the emotions evoked by the artwork. Similarly, attending a live concert or theatrical performance offers a multi-sensory experience that immerses the audience in the creative expression of the artists. Overall, "art involves experience" underscores the active role of the viewer or participant in engaging with art, highlighting the transformative power of art to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and inspire new perspectives.

39. THE NATURE OF ART Art expresses feelings, beliefs, and characteristics, though these are often complex and difficult to define. Our lives are full of complexities, and art reflects this, offering a medium to express and explore these intricate emotions and ideas.

40. THE NATURE OF ART Art as diverse range of human activities Art represent reality Art is an expression Art serves as a mean of communication of emotions Art matters Art is universal Art is creation

41. THE NATURE OF ART Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory, or performing artworks, expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form, these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.

42. THE NATURE OF ART Art is an expression. The expression contained in the form is an attempt to translate the unnamed and the unknown. Intrinsic to our existence as humans is our quest to create meaning, and art allows that process to take place. Making meaning involves understanding our surroundings and marking our experiences.

43. THE NATURE OF ART Art represents reality. Representation is the use of signs that stand in for and take the place of something else. It is through representation that people organize the world and reality through the act of naming its elements. Signs are arranged in order to form semantic constructions and express relations. Art represents reality since it often depicts objects or scenes from the world. An artwork can depict a scene such as a cafe, a restaurant, a park, or a garden. So, there is a sense in which art represents the mind's eye or what the imagination perceives.

44. THE NATURE OF ART Art serves as a means of communication of emotions. The purpose of works of art may be to communicate political, spiritual, or philosophical ideas, to create a sense of beauty, to explore the nature of perception, for pleasure, or to generate strong emotions. Art is an act of expressing feelings, thoughts, and observations of human conditions. A fundamental purpose common to most art forms is the underlying intention to appeal to and connect with human emotion.

45. THE NATURE OF ART Art matters. The arts matter because they allow us to express ourselves and illustrate the world around us in a different light, helping us to gain an understanding of people and society, and give hope while living in this world. Art matters because it illustrates human experiences. It is out of bounds when we speak of arts because it is for everyone. Art is the true Esperanto, an artificial international language, the one form of culture that is genuinely beyond national limitations. Art knows no barriers; not even language is a barrier in understanding it. For example, foreign arts displayed in museums throughout the world, paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Sistine Chapel, and photos of well-known places are readily viewed. We also have some foreign performers performing in the country.

46. THE NATURE OF ART Art is creation. It is the combination of already existing material elements to form something new. The material of each was given already in nature; but the form, as the maker fashioned it, was new. In its essence and widest compass, art is the making of a new thing in response to a sense of need. The very need itself creates, working through man as its agent.
