on the study of human culture, history, and

•Studying visual arts as part of the humanities can
therefore provide insights into human culture and

is important for gaining a deeper understanding of the
human experience, culture, and history, developing
our own personal interpretations, appreciating the
technical aspects of the art form, and reflecting on
society.

used to create shape, form, and texture.

of lines, and are used to give structure to the artwork.
Color: Color is a powerful element of visual art, and can be used to
convey emotion, mood, and atmosphere.
Texture: Texture refers to the surface quality of the artwork, and can
be visual or tactile.

9. Space: Space refers to the area around and within the
artwork, and can be used to create a sense of depth and
perspective.
Light and Shadow: Light and shadow are used to create
contrast, depth, and mood within the artwork.

10. In a simple sense, by using these and other
components of visual arts, artists can create
powerful and meaningful works of art that engage

11. PURPOSES OF ART

12. It can be used to communicate ideas and thoughts; it
can be used as a tool for self-expression, used as a
form of therapy, or even as a means to find beauty in
life. Art also captures a moment in time, historical
events, social ideas and concepts, and political or
social commentary.
There are five purposes for visual art:
Ceremonial, Artistic Expression, Narrative,
Functional and Persuasive.

13. Ceremonial art is made to celebrate or
commemorate something important in the culture, in
ritual or worship, or in personal life.
Ex. “The Last Supper” By Leonardo Da Vinci

14. Narrative art tells a story or makes a point. Some communities
commission narrative murals for buildings or walls to depict stories
from local history. Narrative art describes or illustrates experiences,
important or historical events, or communicates ideas or
information.
Notice all the action in this narrative painting by Pieter Bruegel called “The Peasant Wedding”

15. Art created for Artistic Expression focuses on the artist most of all,
for it is a self-expression of the artist’s personal, internal emotions,
feelings, experiences or ideas. This type of art is sometimes, but not
always, abstract or non-objective.
“The Masters of Augusta” by Rick Rush, 1997

16. Functional art seeks to beautify objects that are useful in everyday
life. Many of the objects we use –including pottery, quilts, baskets,
furniture (serve a useful purpose) but are also designed or decorated
in a way that is artistically pleasing.

17. Persuasive artworks promote ideas, philosophies or
products. Advertising, marketing, propaganda and visual
messages of ideology fall into this category.

(Rosie the Rivieter)
