HOW DO WE DEFINE ART?
DEFINITION OF ART Art is derived from the Latin word “ars”, meaning ability or skill. It is a craft or specialized use of skill, mastery of form, inventiveness, and the associations exists between form and ideas, between material and technique.
DEFINITION OF ART Art is that which brings life in harmony in the world- Plato Art is the realization of the external form of a true idea and is traced back to the natural love of imitation which characterizes human person - Aristotle
DEFINITION OF ART Art is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind-one which demands for its own satisfaction and fulfilling, a shaping matter to new and more significant form - John Dewey Art is a life that helps us to realize the truth - Pablo Picasso
DEFINITION OF ART Art has no objective definition. It is subjective in a sense that people have different perception of an object or a thing. That is why different authors, philosophers, and artists define art in various ways. Even though they define art in different ways, they are saying the true definition of art.
ART AS SUBJECT UNDER HUMANITIES HUMANITIES INCLUDES THE APPRECIATION OF ARTS WHICH CAN STRENGTHEN OUR VALUE ABOUT LIFE AND REALITY The term humanities originated from the Latin expression studia humanitatis or study of humanities. This refers to the root word “humanus” meaning culture, refinement, education, or worth/dignity of a man.
ART IS UNIVERSAL AND TIMELESS Art has always been timeless and universal, spanning generations and continents through and through. ART IS NOT NATURE Art is made through man-made. Art is man’s expression of his reception of nature, it is man’s way of interpreting the nature. ASSUMPTIONS OF ART
ART INVOLVES EXPERIENCE An important aspect of experiencing art is its being highly personal, individual, and subjective. ART DEPENDS ON EXPERIENCE, AND IF ONE IS TO KNOW ART, HE MUST KNOW it not as fact or information but as experience. (Dudley et al., 1960) ASSUMPTIONS OF ART
