Read and Ponder:
What is Art?
Art – is a process of a product of creative skill and imagination.
- expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual

form such as painting or sculpture, music, literature, and dance producing works to be
appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
ASSUMPTIONS OF ART
1. Art is universal
- Art is a universal phenomenon and is as old as human being. Every society has its own art,
which is encouraged and molded by the patronage it gets from its members. Artists as
members of society create such works of art in accordance with the existing relations in the
society.
2. Art is cultural
- Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences
across space and time. ... Art in this sense is communication; it allows people from
different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds
and stories. Art is often a vehicle for social change.
3. Art is not natural
- Art is not nature because in many ways, art is not “natural”, it is an artificial construct
created by man.
NATURE OF ART
1. Art is Everywhere
- The popular feeling about art is that it exist only in concert halls, museums and art
galleries in a world by itself, accessible only to those who can afford to pay for its
enjoyment of to the critics and scholars who take time to study the art objects. On the
contrary, art is found everywhere. It is very much a part of our lives. We cannot ignore
its presence even if we try to.
- We find art in the clothes and accessories we wear, in the design of our furniture and
furnishings, in the style of the houses we build and the vehicles we use. We find art
objects in the home and in the community, in religion, in trade, and in the industry.
2. Art as Expression and Communication

- We express our emotional state by some visible signs and activities. We burst into song
when we are happy or sad, or we dance, for it is pleasant to express joy through
rhythmic body movement. We likewise sing out our love or our despair, or try to convey
our deep emotions in poetic language.
3. Art as Creation
- Man has also been led by an innate craving for order to create objects that are delightful
to perceive. The word “creation” in this sense refers to the act of combining or re-
ordering already existing materials so that a new object is formed.
- As a creative activity, art involves skill or expertness in handling materials and organizing
into new, structurally pleasing and significant units. The skill does not just happen. It is
acquired through long training and constant practice.
ART AND EXPERIENCE

Three major kinds of Experience involved in the artistic activity:
1. An experience which the artist wants to communicate.
2. The act of expressing this experience, which of creating the art object or form.
3. Artist’s gratifying experience of having accomplished something significant.
ART AND BEAUTY

 The desire for beauty and order around us is another basic human wants. Somehow these
provide the much needed comfort and balance to our lives.
 We may find beauty in nature, as in the loveliness of volcano rising majestically to the skies, or
we may find it in man-made objects like an impressive bridge, a ceramic vase or even in a tender
love song.
 A thing of beauty is one which gives us pleasure when we perceive it. The delight that we
experience is called aesthetic pleasure, “aesthetic” coming from a Greek word which means “to
perceive with the senses.”
NATURAL vs. ART (Not Natural)

ROLE OF ART
Why do we need art?

 Art reflects cultural values, beliefs and identity and helps to preserve the many different
communities that make up our world. Art chronicles our own lives and experiences over
time. We need art to understand and to share our individual and shared history.
What is the Purpose of Art?

 The purpose of works of art may be to communicate ideas, such as in spiritually, or
philosophically motivated art; to create a sense of beauty; to explore the nature of perception;
for pleasure; or to generate strong emotions.
What is the function of the Art?

 The physical functions of art are often the most easy to understand. Works of art that are
created to perform some service have physical functions. ... Architecture, any of the crafts, and
industrial design are all types of art that have physical functions.
How does art plays a role in our society?

 Art can be used as a means of entertainment, learning, advertising, and showing ones
personality or talent. Without art, our world would be very dull, boring, and uninteresting if you
think about it. So it plays a significant role in many ways. Art plays a very important role in
modern society.

Activity 2: Black-out Poetry
What is Blackout Poetry?
 A blackout poem where a poet takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established
text–like in a newspaper, old books–and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The key
thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem.
Purpose of Black-out Poetry

 Blackout Poetry Restores Creativity. Making a poem from the words on the page can be difficult;
it makes a person look at the words in a new way, and that's a skill that translates to other
creative projects, as well.
