1. “N ature is a haunted house – but A r t – a House that tries to be haunted.” – Emily Dickinson ASSUMPTION AND MISCONCETPTION ON THE NATURE OF ART

2. Art is part of life. We live with it as we cook, speak, sing, dance and write are outcomes of our productive imagination. Imagination is an abstraction of a certain thought or feeling that produces a good art based on reality or experience (Hollick,2014) EXPRESSION is automatic response to imagination. Unexpressed imagination is not art. It is not art not art when an individual fails to realize the BEAUTY AND UTILITARIAN PURPOSE. Expression can either be positive or negative.

3. When can we consider if art is negative and positive? Expression can either be positive or negative. When both means and ends of art are consecutive, its expression enhances not only the individual’s quality of life which is essential to his or her progress but also the life of others and the nation as well.

4. Etymology and Definition of Art ART – comes from the Latin term, “ ars ” means skill, talent or ability **(Encyclopedia)** It is making or doing something. **( OXFORD)** Art is an expression of the creative skills and imagination in different genres for appreciation of beauty and emotional power

5. 1. Someone is an artist and the rest are not. Art is an expression of creative skill and imagination in different genres for appreciation of beauty and emotional power (OXFORD ONLINE DICTIONARY, 1995). This belief is silly because every individual has a talent. This ability shows us to claim that we are all artist in our own right depending on our interest in art.

6. 2. Art is only good for the rich and famous. There is no bifurcation of art according to status . God c reated human beings with equal number of neurons compared to other creation in the animal kingdom. The human brain is capable of thinking 5000 thoughts per day (LABORIA, 2013) including thinking for art. We are all gifted with art. The problem is, we fail to recognize it and lethargy that dictates us not to do it, because we want everything easy and instant given to us in a silver platter.

7. Creativity and Art Appreciation Creativity is a metacognitive kill a form of divergent thinking that allows us to generate relationship, integrate concepts, elaborate information, brainstorm issues with fluency, flexibility and originality (Johnson, 2010 ). “Thinking outside the box” – creativity is unstructured free flowing process to capacitate the body and create art. “Art allows us to imagine our past experiences and draws our feelings to appreciate beauty.”

8. 3. Art and craft have interchangeable meaning. Art is an expression of feelings and emotions Craft is a form of work with the use of available materials. ZULUETA said – “Art is beautiful rather than useful.” Art is the expression of imagination while craft is the realization of the expression. Art is tinged with a psychological process, craft provides a utilitarian and mechanical process of creation.

9. How can imagination and expression take place in the world of the visual arts? The artist is honest about his or her feelings on the realities of nature and society affecting his or her life and the life of everybody. “The magic of art recipe” means the visual quality of artwork depends on craftsmanship. Craftsmanship – how artists selects the art media, uses of brush, mixes colors on palette, contrasts hues between lighter and darker values of tints, tones, and shades to enhance artist’s techniques of painting. OSBORNE (2014) tints are the combinations of white for lightness, Tones are the combinations of gray to produce tinting, and shading. Shades are combinations of black to increase darkness. A craftsmanship technique.
