3. INTRODUCTION
Art has long been recognized as a powerful medium for
human expression, allowing individuals to convey
thoughts, emotions, and experiences in ways that
transcend language barriers and cultural divides. From
ancient cave paintings to modern digital installations,
art serves as a mirror to society, reflecting its values,
beliefs, and aspirations. In this exploration of art as an
expression, we delve into the multifaceted nature of
artistic creation, examining the myriad forms it takes
and the diverse messages it communicates.
4. ART AS EXPRESSION
• "What an artist does to an
emotion is not to induce it, but
express it. Through expression,
he is able to explore his own
emotions and at the same time,
create something beautiful out
of them.
--Robin George Collingwood
5. • Expressing emotions is different from
describing emotions.
• This makes people's art not a
reflection of what is outside or
external to them, but a reflection of
their inner selves.
6. VISUAL ARTS
• Creations that fall under this
category are those that appeals to
the sense of sight and are mainly
visual in nature.
• Artists produce visual arts driven
by their desire to reproduce things
that they have seen in the way
that they perceived them.
7. • There are also other artistic disciplines
that also involve a visual aspect, such
as performance arts, theater, and
applied arts.
• Some mediums of visual arts include
paintings, drawings, letterings,
printing, sculpture, digital imaging.
8. FILM

place
• The performer's body
Relationship between the audience
and the performer(s)
12. • The fact that performance art is
live makes it intangible, which
means it cannot be bought or
traded as a commodity.
13. POETRY PERFORMANCE
• Poetry is an art form where the artist
expresses his emotions not by using
paint, charcoal, or camera, but
expresses them through words.
• These words are carefully selected to
exhibit clarity and beauty and to
stimulate strong emotions of joy,
anger, love, sorrow among others.
14. • lt uses a word's emotional, musical, and
spatial values that go beyond its literal
meaning to narrate emphasize, argue, or
convince.

tone, volume, and intensity of the delivery
add to the artistic, value of the poem
15. ARCHITECTURE
• Art is the pursuit and creation of
beautiful things while architecture is
the making of beautiful buildings.
• However, not all building are beautiful
because some only embody the
functionality they need, but the
structure, lines, forms, and colors are
not beautifully expressed.

allow this, but in art expression,
dancers are not confined to set
steps and rules but are free to
create and invent their own
movements as longs as they deem
them graceful and beautiful.
19. LITERARY ART
• Artists who practice literary arts use
words to express themselves and
communicate emotions to the readers.
• Simply becoming a writer does not
make one a literary artist.
• Literary art goes beyond the usual
professional, academic, journalistic and
other technical forms of writing.
20. • lt focuses on writing using a
unique style, not following a
specific format or norm.

arts, theater, and applied arts, each form offers a
unique lens through which individuals can
convey their innermost thoughts, emotions, and
visions. Through the brushstrokes of a painting,
the rhythms of a dance, or the words of a poem,

creating beauty and meaning that resonate with
audiences across time and space.
