1. Art Appreciation

2. WHAT IS ART? Art is a necessary component of our existence. It pervades every part of our lives and selves. Art is derived from the Latin word ars , which means "trade or specialized type of skill, such as carpentry, smithy, or surgery." Art encompasses varied genre and color. Its basic goal is to present a message and inflict a thought from its audience.

3. WHAT IS ART APPRECIATION? The phrase "art appreciation" refers to the understanding of the universal and timeless elements that distinguish all great art. It's commonly used to describe the study of visual art forms or the introduction of basic visual literacy principles.

4. It refers to the analysis of an artwork's form for public audiences in hopes of improving their appreciation of such works of art. It can be studied independently from its subject matter, symbolism, or historical background. Art appreciation can be personal and influenced by personal inclinations for aesthetics and form, or it can be objective and based on a number of design features and principles, as well as cultural and social acceptance. Paintings, sculptures, architecture, design, and, more recently, digital art, all fall under the umbrella of art among others. Art can be enjoyed by everybody, and because it is subjective, different art forms appeal to different people. WHAT IS ART APPRECIATION?

5. An artist’s ultimate goal is to produce an art that can speak and connect to its audience on an intimate level and is to be interpreted in various ways. Given that there is an influx of styles and trends at a rapid pace in the dynamic world of art, an artist absolutely needs to connect to its target audience in the most effective way. An artwork aims to tap the subconscious of any person who sees and experience it. There are various reasons why art appreciation is so significant in one’s life.

6. Art appreciation enables a conversation and understanding that there are several approaches in the interpretation of art by listening to the various ideas and opinions about it. Art has been an avenue for people to convey and express things that seems impossible to say or describe ourselves. Through its visual medium, we are able to feel joy, sadness, rage, and grief. That is why our interpretation is so crucial as a final piece in art appreciation.

7. Assumptions and Nature of Art Art is Universal - People and their social backgrounds mirror art. Art also bring forth awareness and unity among our cultural and individual differences. Countries all around the world makes use of art in order to foster mutual understanding and for cultural exchange between people. Regardless of form, all artistic creations have the same capacity to connect with anybody. We lose sight of its possibility to communicate with us when we disregard its mere existence. This reflects our political, social, and cultural processes which is why art is the most important form of communication. People, tradition, culture, unity, freedom, harmony, and understanding should all be represented through art.

8. Art is Not Nature Art is not art unless someone thinks about it and comprehends it, just as nature requires the lack of thinking to be nature. The sight from the summit of a mountain isn't art until you've seen it or taken pictures of it. Nature and Art, on the other hand, are both incredibly special and unique things that may borrow elements from one other but can never be the equivalent. Assumptions and Nature of Art

9. Art Involves Experience - Art is nothing more than a personal experience. When we speak of experience, (Dudley et.al., 1960) we mean the “actual doing of something” and it is confirmed that experience is contingent to art. So, if a person is truly aware and understand art, a person must know it as an experience not as a fact. - Art is highly personal, individual, and subjective. Our own judgement is a fundamental component of perceiving it. Understanding of art is always a value judgment in philosophical terms. Assumptions and Nature of Art

10. Nature of art Art is fundamentally a non-symbolic mode of communication that serves as a key counterbalance to language. While practically any language necessitates extensive training in the way the information is encoded into the symbols it utilizes, art can be communicated with little or no prior indoctrination. The ability to communicate without using words allows you to experiment with visual-emotional correlations. Certain colors, especially when combined or contrasted with other colors, can elicit specific feelings.

11. The Role of Creativity in Art Making Creativity necessitates a willingness to think outside the box. Creativity is what distinguishes one work of art from another. When can we say that something is creative? When it is out of the ordinary When there is originality When we have not seen anything like it When it is not just a copy or imitation of someone’s work

12. Art Forms Emotions can be expressed in various ways through art. As a result, people’s work is a representation of their inner selves rather than what is observed based on the outside Visual Arts Film Performance Art Music Architecture Dance Literary Art Theater Applied Arts

13. Visual arts Visual arts are works of art that are primarily visual in nature and appeal to the sense of sight. Artists create visual arts because they want to recreate what they've seen in the same way they saw it. Performance arts, applied arts, and theater are examples of other artistic disciplines that include a visual component. Paintings, drawings, lettering, printing, sculpting, and digital imaging are some examples of visual arts mediums.

14. FILM The skill of piecing together sequences of static images to create the appearance of movement is known as filmmaking. Filmmaking is both an art and a business that concentrates on its cultural, aesthetic, and social value. The following are the techniques in film-making process: a. motion picture camera, b. animation techniques, c. computer generated imagery (CGI). It intends to bring feelings, ideas, and beauty to its viewers, filmmaking stimulates or creates experiences that are beyond our imagination.

15. Performance Art Performance art is live art in which the artist's medium is primarily the human body, but he or she may also incorporate other forms of art such as visual art, sounds, props, into the performance. The elements of performance arts: a. setting, b. time, c. performer’s body, d. relationship between the audience and performer. Performance art is intangible, it cannot be purchased or traded like a commodity.

16. MUSIC Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds. Making music is the process of putting sounds and tones in an order, often combining them to create a unified composition. People who make music creatively organize sounds for a desired result, like a Beethoven symphony or one of Duke Ellington's jazz songs. Music is made of sounds, vibrations, and silent moments, and it doesn't always have to be pleasant or pretty. It can be used to convey a whole range of experiences, environments, and emotions.

17. Architecture Architecture is the creating of beautiful buildings, whilst art is the quest and creation of beautiful things. Nonetheless, not all buildings are attractive because some only provide the functionality required, that is when the framework, lines, shapes, and colors are not well-designed. Important elements of architecture are: a. plan, b. construction, c. design. Buildings should embody these three significant elements if they aim to merit the title architecture.

18. dances Dance is a set of gestures that are choreographed to the beat of the music. Dancing is a method of expression that enables individuals to express themselves freely. Dancers are not restricted to defined routines and regulations in art expression, but they are free to create and design their own routines as long as they are graceful and beautiful.

19. LITERARY ARTS Literary artists utilize language to express themselves and communicate feelings to their audience. Being a writer is not the same as being a literary artist. Professional, journalistic, academic, and other technical kinds of writing are not the only forms of literary art. It has its own style and does not adhere to any particular format or standard. Novels, poems, and biographies are examples of fiction and nonfiction.

20. Theater Theater art is distinguished from literary art by the fact that it is usually performed according to a script. Acting, gestures, scenery, lighting, props, sound effects, and musical score are all considered in theater, just as they are in filmmaking. Theater, like performance art, is a live performance. Musicals, comedies, tragedies, and improvisation are examples of genres

21. Applied Arts The goal of applied arts is to provide aesthetic value to ordinary objects by blending style and design. Artists in this discipline infuse beauty, charm, and comfort into a variety of common objects. Industrial design, fashion design, interior design, and graphic design are all examples of this.
