Editor's Notes
- #4 Some people may deny having to do with the arts but it is indisputable that life present us with many forms of and opportunities for communion with the arts. Example, you are wondering what dress to wear on a special day together with your shoes and other body clothing and accessories. When you are shuffling your music track while relaxing. A student marveling at the intricate design of a medieval cathedral and many more all manifest concern for values that are undeniably, despite tangentially, artistic. This lesson is about this yearning for beautiful, the appreciation of all consuming beauty around us, and some preliminary clarifications on assumptions that people normally hold about art.
- #7 Art then suggest the capacity to produce an intended result from carefully planned step method. The Ancient world did not have any conceived notion of art in the same way that we do now. To them, art only meant using the bare hands to produce something that will be useful to one’s day to day life. 2. It was during the seventeenth century when the problem and idea of aesthetics, the study of beauty, began to unfold distinctly from the notion of technical workmanship, which was the original conception of the word “art”. It was during the 18th century when the word has evolved to distinguish between the fine arts and useful arts. Fine arts would come to mean “not delicate or highly skilled arts, but beautiful arts. This is something more akin to what is now considered art.
- #8 Human witnessed how man evolved not just physically but also culturally, from cave painters to men of exquisite paintbrush users of the present. Even if one goes back to the time before written record of man’s civilization has appeared, he can find cases of man’s attempts of not just crafting tools to live and survive but also expressing his feelings and thoughts. The Humanities, then, ironically, have started even before the term has been coined. Human persons have long been exorcising what it means to be a human long before he was even aware of his being one. The humanities stand tall in bearing witness this magnificent phenomenon. Any human person, then, is tasked to participate, if not, totally partake in this long tradition of humanizing himself.
- #10 For every generation, there is always art. Oftentimes people feel that what is considered artistic are only those which have been made long time ago. The First assumption then about the humanities is that art has been crafted by all people regardless of origin, time , place and that it stayed on because it is liked and enjoyed by people continuously.
- #11 Artist are not expected to duplicate nature. Art is based on an individual’s subjective experience of nature.
- #12 A sculptor cannot produce a work of art if a chisel is foreign to him. A painter cannot claim to know to paint if he has not tried holding a brush.
