12. WHAT IS
ART???
Art has been defined in various
ways. The following are some
of the definitions given by
various authors.

13. THE NATURE OF ART

14. THE NATURE OF ART
Art is very important in our lives. It constitutes one of the oldest
and most important means of expression developed by man.
Art has been existent since men have lived together. In fact, in
nearly every country, art can be found in primitive societies. Art
has been created by all people at all times; it has lived
because it is liked and enjoyed. A true work of art is made by
man himself not imitatively, but creatively.
A true artist doesn’t imitate nature, but rather interprets it in his
own way by selecting the essential features of the subject and
rejecting the minor ones.

15. Meanings of Art
Art is derived from the
latin word ars, meaning
“ability or skill.”
J.V Estolas
Art is taken from the Italian
word artis, which means
“craftsmanship, skill, mastery
of form, inventiveness, and
the association that exist
between form and ideas and
between material and
technique”
A. Tan
Art is a product of
man’s need to express
himself.
F. Zulueta
Art is concerned with the
communication of certain
ideas and feelings by
means of sensuous
medium– color, sound,
bronze, marble, words,
and film.
C. Sanchez

16. Meanings of Art
Arts is that which brings
life in harmony with the
beauty of the world.
Plato
Art is an attitude of spirit, a
state of mind– one which
demands for its own
satisfaction and fulfilling, a
shaping of matter to new and
more significant form.
John Dewey
Art is the skillful arrangement
or composition of some
common but significant
qualities of nature such as
colors, sounds, lines,
movements, words, stones,
wood, etc., to express human
feelings, emotions, or
thoughts in a perfect
meaningful and enoyable
way.
Panizo and
Rustia

17. FOUR COMMON ESSENTIALS OF ART
THAT WE NEED TO KNOW:
Art must be
Man-made.
Art must be
creative.
Art must
benefit and
satisfy man
and man must
make use of
art in practical
terms.
Art is
expressed
through a
certain
medium or
material by
which the
artist
communicates
himself to his
fellows.

18. IMPORTANCE OF ART
Art has a particular importance in our lives. All the art that we
see and hear have a purpose; they occupy some place in our
judgment.
We can communicate through paintings, songs, dances, and
dramatic plays to highlight and heighten the importance of
certain events, keep them in memory and indulge in pleasure.
We also build monuments to remind us of the heroic deeds of
great men.

19. IMPORTANCE OF ART
Artworks are also valuable sources of inspiration. We are
delighted by the books we read and moved by the music we hear.
Paintings, sculptures, and plays capture our attention and
stimulate critical thinking. Modern architectural designs inspire us
to plan and construct our houses beautifully.

20. IMPORTANCE OF ART
Through an artist’s work, we get a glimpse of the thoughts,
feelings, and beliefs of the people who lived in the period the
artwork was produced and the external factors that influenced the
artwork.
We also value and appreciate beautiful things as a
consequence of our encounter with the arts. Our aesthetic
experiences can change our ways and behavior. They can
transform us into highly-cultured, dignified, and respectable
human beings. The arts can beautify our humanity.

21. IMPORTANCE OF ART
Arts can beautify our humanity.
This explains why the arts is called humanities. It brings out
the good and the noble in us. Through the arts, we come to
know the changing image of man as he journeys across
time, searches for the reality, and strives to achieve the
ideals that create the meaning of life.

22. WHAT IS ART
APPRECIATION?
The ability to interpret or
understand man-made arts and
enjoy them either through
actual and work-experience
with art tools and materials or
possession of these works of
art for one’s admiration and
satisfaction.

23. THE SUBJECT OF ART

24. THE SUBJECT OF ART
In any art form– painting, music, sculpture,
architecture, or dance– there is always a subject that
serves as the foundation of the creation of the work
of art. The subject of art is varied. A subject of art is
usually anything that is represented in the artwork. It
is varied– it may be a person, object, scene, or event.

25. THE SUBJECT OF ART
Representational or Objective Arts
Ø Artworks that depict something easily recognized by most
people.
Ø Painting, sculpture, graphic arts, literature, and theatre
arts are generally classified as representational, although
some paintings and sculptures are without subjects.
Music and dance may or may not have subjects.

26. THE SUBJECT OF ART
Non-Representational or Non-Objective Arts
Ø Artworks that have no resemblance to any real subject.
Ø They do not represent anything and they are what they
are.
Ø They rather appear directly to the senses primarily
because of the satisfying organization of their elements.

27. THE FUNCTION OF ART

28. THE FUNCTION OF ART
Every art form has a definite function since it
satisfies a particular need. To the layman, art
may have little function. Some find meaning in
art in its ability to serve the purpose for which
it was designed.

29. THE FUNCTION OF ART
Architecture is directly and almost entirely functional because
buildings and other structures are always built for some special
purpose. Music and dance were used in ancients rituals and
worship of the gods, for social and folk entertainment, as well in
the military.
Painting and sculpture may be used to narrate events, to
portray people or events, to instruct (as in the case of Christian
art), to commemorate individuals or historical events, and to
serve as vehicles of personal expression.

30. THE FOUR MAIN FUNCTIONS
OF ART
1. Aesthetic Function
Ø Through art, man becomes conscious of the beauty of
nature. He benefits from his own work and from those
done by his fellowmen. He learns to use, love, and
preserve them for his enjoyment and appreciation.

31. THE FOUR MAIN FUNCTIONS
OF ART
2. Utilitarian Function
Ø With he creation of various forms of art, man now lives in
comfort and happiness. Through art, man is provided with
shelter, clothing, food, light, medicine, beautiful surroundings,
personal ornamentals, entertainment, language, transportation,
and other necessities and conveniences of life. Art doesn’t only
enrich man’s life but also improves nature through landscape
gardening, creation of super-highways, and through
propagation and conservation of natural resources.

32. THE FOUR MAIN FUNCTIONS
OF ART
3. Cultural Function
Ø Through the printed matter, art transmits and preserves
skills and knowledge from one generation to another. It
makes man aware of his/her cultural background, making
him/her more knowledgeable and his/her life more
enduring and satisfying.

33. THE FOUR MAIN FUNCTIONS
OF ART
4. Social Function
Ø Through civic and graphic arts, man learns to love and to
help each other. International understanding and
cooperation are fostered and nations become more
unified, friendly, cooperative, helpful, and sympathetic.
