The document discusses several questions about the relationship between artistic knowledge and other ways of knowing from the IB Visual Arts Guide: 1) To what extent is artistic knowledge something which cannot be expressed in another way? The guide explores whether the ways of knowing are employed differently in the arts than other areas of knowledge. 2) It examines the role of imagination in the visual arts and whether it plays a special role. 3) Issues around the moral responsibilities of artists and what constitutes appropriate boundaries for art are discussed. 4) Standards for judging artworks are considered, covering intentions, the artwork itself, audience reaction, and its ability to transport people.

Arts Presentation for ToK 2
The document discusses three theories of art:
1) Art as communication - Art communicates feelings from the artist to the viewer through the artist's unique language. Famous works like Guernica conveyed anti-war messages.
2) Art as education - Art can educate viewers morally and increase knowledge by altering consciousness towards objectivity and unselfishness. Socialist realist art sought to forge ideological consciousness.
3) Art as imitation - Originally, art imitated classical works to achieve technical skill. Later, imitation served other goals like homage, parody, or revealing new truths by drawing on the past. Imitative works can comment on or trivialize originals.

What constitutes art? 3 possible criteria
In summary, no single criterion is sufficient to define art. A work of art is likely to:
- Be the product of an artist's intention to create something that provokes an aesthetic response
- Display some degree of skill, craftsmanship or originality in its creation
- Elicit an emotional or intellectual response in its audience
The boundaries are necessarily blurred - what counts as art is not fixed but evolves over time as new artistic movements develop.
TOK - Theory of knowledge essay (what counts as knowledge in the arts)
1. The essay discusses what counts as knowledge in the arts by comparing it to knowledge in mathematics. Knowledge in art includes an artist's intentions in creating a work, as well as audience interpretations, which can vary unlike the fixed truths in mathematics.
2. Cultural and historical context also provide knowledge in art by revealing aspects of societies and traditions. In contrast, mathematics is a more universal language where concepts remain the same across cultures.
3. Emotions may result from artistic works but are not knowledge in mathematics, which is about tangible discoveries rather than intangible human experiences captured by art.
Mr Hardy's pared-down Arts
The document discusses different views on what art is and criteria for evaluating art. It mentions definitions of art as an outlet for internal images, as a lie that reveals truth, and as something that can be reflected upon. It lists three criteria for judging art: the artist's intention, the quality of the work, and audience response. It also discusses what makes a good work by inducing emotion in viewers and conveying moral lessons. It covers debates around intentionalism versus universal standards and the relationship between art, knowledge, communication, education, and revealing truth.
Art:knowledge
The document discusses several theories about the nature and purpose of art, including art as imitation, communication, and education. It provides examples of artworks that illustrate these different theories, such as paintings that imitate reality or provoke viewers to see things differently. The document also discusses how art can reveal aspects of reality, amplify human experiences, and have a moral and educative role by provoking emotions that influence behavior.
Methods of presenting the art subject
The document discusses different artistic styles and movements including realism, abstraction, symbolism, fauvism, dadaism, futurism, and surrealism. It provides examples of prominent artists who worked in each style and descriptions of their techniques. Key points include defining realism as attempting to portray subjects accurately, abstraction as moving away from realistic depictions, and surrealism as revealing realities of the subconscious mind through fantasy elements. Examples are given of novels, paintings, and sculptures that exemplify these different artistic approaches.
Ways of Defining Art/ Some Key Theories
The document discusses various ways of defining art and theories about art. It outlines three approaches to defining art: 1) clear-cut definitions that classify what is and isn't art, 2) skepticism about being able to define art, and 3) a contextual approach focusing on art's changing social role over time in different contexts. It also summarizes several key theories of art, including imitation theory, intentionality thesis, communication theory, institutional theory, and Duchamp's concept of 'readymades' which argues an object becomes art through an artist's intentions.
Methods of presenting art
This document discusses different methods of presenting art subjects including realism, abstraction, symbolism, fauvism, dadaism, futurism, and surrealism. Realism attempts to portray subjects as they are through accurate depiction using senses. Abstract art moves away from realism through techniques like distortion, elongation, and mangling. Symbolism presents invisible ideas through visible representations. Fauvism focuses on themes of comfort and joy. Dadaism was a protest movement creating outrageous art. Futurism aimed to capture modern industrial speed. Surrealism reveals a higher magical reality through art. Examples of different styles are provided.

SP16UVC2.2
This document summarizes key ideas from John Dewey's work Art as Experience regarding how he defines art. Dewey proposes that art should not be viewed as static objects, but as dynamic experiences and interactions between viewers and objects. He argues we must understand art in its unrefined forms found in everyday life, like watching a fire or construction work, before analyzing refined art forms. Dewey believes separating art from lived experience creates barriers to understanding its significance. His view defines art as a process embedded in how people engage with and find enjoyment in their activities, rather than static objects removed from human experience.

Form refers to the physical and visual aspects of a work of art. Content refers to the meaning of a work of art, including the subject matter, artist's intent, and viewer's interpretation. There are several major theories for analyzing and interpreting artworks based on their form and content, including formalist theories that focus on form, expressionist theories that view art as a means of expression, contextual theories that examine art within its social and historical context, Marxist theories that analyze art's relationship to economic systems and class struggle, psychoanalytic theories that view art as revealing the unconscious, and postcolonial theories that examine issues of colonialism, identity, and cultural difference.
Methods of Art Production and Presentation
The document discusses several art movements including Realism, Abstraction, Symbolism, Fauvism, Dadaism, Futurism, Surrealism and Expressionism. It provides descriptions of each movement's key characteristics such as their portrayal of subjects, use of color, exploration of the subconscious mind, and emphasis on modern industrial themes. Realism aims to depict reality accurately while abstraction moves away from realistic representations. Dadaism was an anti-art movement reacting to World War 1. Surrealism draws from dreams to reveal hidden realities. Expressionism conveys emotion and angst through distorted forms.
Art movements explained
Classical art adheres to principles established by ancient Greek and Roman master artists regarding the representation of the human form and its environment. It is usually based on religious or mythical figures, with idealized bodies in active poses. Order and harmony are emphasized over individual beauty. Neoclassical art was produced later but drew inspiration from classical works. It refers to the styles of artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo during the Renaissance who were influenced by ancient classical principles and rules.

Martha Kellogg Smith
Martha Kellogg Smith analyzed art museum visitor studies to understand how non-specialists interpret and use information about artworks. She found that visitors want brief summaries about subjects, symbols, media and context in wall labels. However, unfamiliar art history terms pose difficulties. Her research suggests developing controlled vocabularies at different interpretation levels, from basic visual elements to deeper meanings, to meet visitors' information needs and help them build art knowledge.
Painting with light
The document discusses how the invention of photography in 1839 influenced painters and photographers in Britain. As the Aesthetic Movement became interested in imaginative effects over realism, photographers sought to capture the atmosphere of painters like Whistler. Students are instructed to analyze and compare works in terms of the manipulation of light and mood. They are also asked to consider how the work of female photographers like Clementina Hawarden, Margaret Cameron, and Zaida Ben-Yusuf differed from their male contemporaries. The concept of photographs providing a more "real" depiction through being a direct trace of reality is debated in comparison to paintings and sculptures.

Cut&Paste: Appropriation Art
Appropriation is an important historical practice in art-making, in which the artist uses a previously existing form, image or sound in new ways. The creative effort is defined by the inspired selection and manipulation of found materials. The end result is a strangely familiar, yet an altogether new creation.
Transition project
The document discusses how conceptual artists such as Richard Long and Michael Craig-Martin created works that questioned traditional notions of art by using ideas, actions, and transformations rather than physical objects. Long's "A Line Made by Walking" demonstrated how a simple action in nature could become a work of art. Craig-Martin's "An Oak Tree" transformed a glass of water into a tree through language and the viewer's perception rather than physically altering the objects. These works expanded what could be considered art by emphasizing concepts and the experience of the viewer over physical materials.
SHGC Pop Art - Part 3
Robert Rauschenberg was an influential American artist known for pioneering combine paintings in the 1950s, which incorporated everyday objects with painting. Some key works include Canyon (1959) featuring a painted eagle, and Monogram (1955-1958) with a stuffed goat and tire. Rauschenberg sought to break down boundaries between art forms and challenge definitions of art. He used found objects and screenprinting to create dense, layered works that commented on modern consumer culture and the relationship between art and life.
Art in TOK
Art can take many forms including visual arts, performing arts, music, literature, and more. It allows individuals to express themselves and their emotions. While art is often created for pleasure and entertainment, it can also have deeper meanings. Musical instruments are a form of art as they allow people to play music and express themselves. Clothing design can also be considered an art form during the creative design process. Whether something is viewed as art is ultimately subjective to the perspective of the viewer.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Sense perception and language
This document discusses two ways of knowing - sense perception and language. It explores how each can be used to gain knowledge, justify conclusions, and communicate knowledge. However, it also notes limitations and problems with both. For sense perception, it mentions limitations, illusions, and how individual points of view can differ. For language, it discusses issues like ambiguity, context, and how meanings and understandings can vary between individuals and over time. The document aims to analyze both sense perception and language critically as ways of knowing.
Art And Religion
This document discusses the relationship between art and religion through history. It notes that art has often been used as a form of propaganda by religions to convey beliefs and stories. Nearly all early art had roots in religion, as religions like Christianity, Buddhism, and others used art forms like paintings, sculptures, and architecture to spread their messages. The document provides several examples of famous religious artworks and how they depict important religious figures or stories and were used to influence people's understanding of those religions.
Human and natural sciences for ToK
The document discusses the differences between the human sciences and natural sciences from both a traditional empiricist view and opposing position. From a traditional empiricist view, both use the same basic methodology and must be confirmed or verified through evidence. However, the opposing position argues that human and natural sciences are essentially different and must use different methods, as human sciences study meaningful phenomena that are different from merely physical phenomena studied in natural sciences.
Chapter 1, What Is Art
The document provides a comprehensive overview of different perspectives on what art is and its various purposes and functions. It discusses art in terms of beauty, truth, communication, social commentary, and personal expression. It also examines how art relates to concepts like culture, religion, politics, psychology, and popular culture. The document supports its discussion with over 30 examples of artworks and uses them to illustrate the many topics and themes covered.
What is Art?
The document provides an introduction to visual art, defining it as the use of skill and imagination to create aesthetic objects or experiences that can be shared. It examines how art is perceived and classified, exploring elements like style, composition, and seeing. Key terms related to art are defined, and the purposes and importance of art are discussed, including how it can create beauty, enhance environments, influence society, and express beliefs, fantasy, protest, and more. Art is analyzed using components, elements, principles of design, and underlying concepts.
Human and natural science – compare & contrast
Human science is the study and interpretation of human experiences, activities, constructs, and artifacts. It attempts to expand knowledge of human existence. There are four key aspects of natural science applied to human science: observation, measurement, experiments, and laws. However, directly observing minds, measuring concepts like thoughts, running controlled experiments on humans, and establishing predictive laws are challenging in human science due to its complex social contexts and moral considerations. As a result, human sciences seem to lack the strong explanatory power of natural sciences and may never be reduced to natural science since human behavior is best explained by meaning and purpose.

Art history 20th century modern art
Perhaps the most solid background to the creation of abstract art can be dated back to the
modernism abstraction which occurred during the early 20th Century. At the time, abstract art
coded modernism because of its nature to deviate from the mainstream developed and
established forms of art. During the 1960s there was more emergence of abstract expressionism
and this subsequently led to its boom in comparison to the contemporary painting of a hard edge
design. Color field paintings as well as certain sculptures of abstract nature also came into the
picture and were mainly pioneered by critics like Greenberg (Press). Elements like Manet
attracted tremendous contributions at the time to portray the various nuances of pictures and
paintings during that period of time.
