Activity 2: Philosophical Analysis

Identify the type of philosophy or theme implied in the following situations. A
parenthesis after each sentence indicates what is being asked for that is,
whether a philosophy or a theme.
1. A painter thinks that a good piece of art should be able to copy the object
being considered. (philosophy)
- PLATO. ART AS IMITATION
● According to Plato, all artistic creation is a form of imitation: that which

really exists (in the “world of ideas”) is a type created by God; the
concrete things man perceives in his existence are shadowy
representations of this ideal type. Plato says that art imitates the objects
and events of ordinary life. In other words, a work of art is a copy of a
copy of a Form. It is even more of an illusion than is ordinary experience.
2. When I draw images, I don’t mind if it imitates exactly any object but allow
my imagination free expression. (philosophy)”
- IMMANUEL KANT. ART FOR ARTS SAKE
● Kant set art free from content, subject matter, the client's wishes, the
community's desires and the needs of religion. The idea of art being given
wholly over to aesthetic pleasure and delight was the ultimate freedom of
art to exist on its own merits and to be the center of its own world.
3.As an artist, I don’t consider any function or purpose of my work.”
(philosophy)
- IMMANUEL KANT. ART FOR ARTS SAKE
● Art for art's sake is such a powerful (and necessary) concept, so

pervasive and entrenched that it is one of the most important motivating
forces behind art to this day. the artist and the work of art now had a
purpose again—not a social purpose but a purpose that was strictly an
art purpose.
4. An art critic enters a museum and comment on a particular painting: “The
artist should have made the colors lighter.” (theme)
- RADIANCE
● Radiance creates an open, shaded and inviting space for people to fluidly
move through on a daily basis. It also creates a dramatic backdrop for
pedestrians to congregate, sit and view the play of shadow and light from
many vantage points.
5.” When I watch a play, I could not help but become emotional and allow
myself to be carried away.” (philosophy)
- ARISTOTLE. ART AS REPRESENTATION OF REALITY
● In representational theory, art is defined by its ability to represent

reality. This does not mean that art must always imitate reality, but it
must in some form (even through abstraction) depict reality. Thus, the
foundational relationship between humans and art is one of perception,
not emotion.
6.” I experience awe admiration when I see a beautiful picture.” (theme)
- RADIANCE
● Radiance creates an open, shaded and inviting space for people to fluidly
move through on a daily basis. Obviously very happy, or very beautiful:
He/she gave a radiant smile when he/she sees a beautiful picture.
7. The size of the nose in one picture matters, and the artist has a reason for
making it big as compared to the other parts of the body. (theme)
- PROPORTION/CONSONANCE
● Proportion also describes how the sizes of different parts of a piece of art
or design relate to each other. The proportions of a composition will
affect how pleasing it looks and can be used to draw our attention to
particular areas. The use of proportion is essential for creating accurate
images.
8. “I have my own standards to follow and I don’t care what others would say
with regard to my work of art” (theme)
- INTEGRITY
 It argues that artists lack artistic integrity if, in the process of creation,
they place some other—competing, distracting, or corrupting—value over
the value of the artwork itself, in a way that violates their own artistic
standards.
9. “I know exactly what the artist is trying to convey in his picture.
There’s no doubt about his message.” (theme)
- INTEGRITY
● Artistic integrity is generally defined as the ability to omit an acceptable

level of opposing, disrupting, and corrupting values that would otherwise
alter an artist's or entities' original vision in a manner that violates their
own preconceived aesthetic standards and personal values.
10. “Art does not teach any ethical lesson,” says an artist. “That is my bit of
reality. You can take it or leave it.” (philosophy)
- ARISTOTLE. ART AS REPRESENTATION OF REALITY
● According to Aristotle, everything was made of matter, shape, substance,

and structure and the changes in them were the results of the organism
trying to reach its potential. This potential was the part of the thing itself
and every member of that species had the same potential.
