1. What is Art?
An Introduction to Contemporary Arts from the Philippine Regions
(Part 1)
By Prof. Ronuel L. del Rosario
2. Usually when we hear the word art, we
think immediately of classical works and
products that are fancy, expensive,
exclusive, etc.
Or if not ,we think it is those projects we
used to do in MSEP class during our
elementary days. Pencil holders, poster
making contest works on illustration
boards, traced hearts and hands, and so
on.

4. But that is NOT all that art is, in fact,
YOUR idea of “art” is very small and
shallow it is almost depressing! Huhuhu
9. Art is defined in the lexicon as
the conscious production or
arrangement of sounds, colors, forms,
and movements, or other elements in a
manner that AFFECTS the SENSES and
EMOTIONS,
usually specifically production of the
beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
10. Art is defined in Wikipedia as
the expression or application of
human creative skill and imagination,
typically in a visual form such as
painting or sculpture, producing works to
be appreciated primarily for their beauty
or emotional power.
11. The Philosophy of Art
The definition of art has generally
fallen into three categories:
representation, expression, and form.
Plato first developed the idea of art
as “mimesis,” which, in Greek, means
copying or imitation, thus making
representation or replication of
something that is beautiful or meaningful
the primary definition of art.
13. Expression became important during
the Romantic movement with artwork
expressing a definite feeling, as in the
sublime or dramatic.
Audience response was important,
for the artwork was intended to evoke
an emotional response. This definition
holds true today, as artists look to
connect with and evoke responses from
their viewers.
15. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was
one of the most influential of the
early theorists toward the end of
the 18th century.
He was considered a formalist in
terms of his philosophy, which meant that
he believed that art should not have a
concept but should be judged alone on its
formal/visual qualities, rather than its
narrative content or its relationship to the
visible world.
16. Formal qualities
became particularly
important when art
became more abstract in
the 20th century, and the
principles of art and
design - terms such as
- balance,
- rhythm,
- -harmony,
- -unity
were used to define
and assess art
22. Quotations
Leo Tolstoy
Art is a human activity
consisting in this, that one
man consciously, by
means of certain external
signs, hands on to others
feelings he has lived
through, and that others
are infected by these
feelings and also
experience them.
23. CONCLUSION
Art can be thought of as a symbol of what it
means to be human, manifested in physical
form for others to see and interpret. It can
serve as a symbol for something that is
tangible, or for a thought, an emotion, a
feeling, or a concept. Through peaceful
means, it can convey the full spectrum of the
human experience. Perhaps that is why it is
so important.
