form.

Art
Assumptions of

19. Art is universal
The first assumption then about the
humanities is that art has been
crafted by people regardless of origin,
time, place and that it stayed on because
it is liked and enjoyed by people
continuously.

20. Art is not Nature
One important characteristic of art is that it is not
nature. Art is man’s
expression of his reception of nature. Art is man’s way of
interpreting nature. Example: Movies are not meant to
be direct representation of reality. They may, according
to the moviemaker’s
perception of reality, be a reinterpretation or even
distortion of nature.

21. Art Involves Experience
Getting this far without a satisfactory definition
of art can be quite weird for some. For most
people, art does not require a full definition. Art
is just experience. By experience, we mean the
“actual doing of something” (Dudley et al., 1960).

"Art is that which brings life in

outward appearance of things but
their inward significance"
- ARISTOTLE

26. "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

27. - Art as an Escape
"The ceremony of doing or
creating art touches the deepest
realms of the mind and the sacred
dimension of the artistic creative
process."

28. - Art as Functional
"Art serves a function. Art is
meant to be used, enrich lives to be
spiritually potent, to educate, to
support or protest existing power
structures, to entertain, and so on.
