4. Art is Universal
Timeless, spanning generations
and continents through and
through.
Misconception:
Artistic made long time ago. Age
is not a factor in determining art.
“ Art is not good because it is old,
but old because it is beautiful.”
(Dudley, et al. 1960)
5. Art is Universal
Arts regardless of origin, time, and
place are liked and enjoyed by
people continuously.
6. Art is Cultural
Art has been a part of human culture for
many centuries. It has served as a
means of expressing feelings,
exchanging ideas, and transferring
knowledge from one generation to the
next. We process our emotions and
ideas through art, thus it plays a
significant role in our cultural and social
lives.
7. Art is not Nature
Man’s expression of his reception
of nature.
Art is man’s way of interpreting
nature.
Art is made by man, whereas
nature is given around us.
8. Art Involves Experience
Unlike fields of knowledge that
involve data, art is known by
experiencing. A work of art that
cannot be abstracted from actual
doing. In order to know what an
artwork is, we have to sense it,
see, and hear it.
9. Art Involves Experience
“All art depends on experience, and if
one is to know art, he must know it not
as fact or information but as
experience”
10. Art is an expression of our
thoughts, emotions, intuitions,
and desires, but it is even more
personal than that: it’s about
sharing the way we experience
the world, which for many is an
extension of personality. It is the
communication of intimate
concepts that cannot be
faithfully portrayed by words
alone.
Art as Expression
11. Art is a diverse range of
human activity, and resulting
product, that involves creative
or imaginative talent
expressive of technical
proficiency, beauty, emotional
power, or conceptual ideas.
Art as a Form of Creation
