GENERALIZATION

Directions: Write the gist of the lessons that we have tackled. Write your answer on the
space provided below. Focus on the following topics:
a. Functions of Art
b. Philosophies of Art

ANSWER:
Functions of Art,Aristotle claimed that every particular substance on earth has an end, or telos in
Greek, and when translated it means “purpose”. Take some time and think of the purpose of things
around you, like the chairs, table, picture frame, cup,
books, chandelier, furniture, etc. Each of them serves a purpose. It is the
very reason why they are made or why they exist in this world.The
purpose is directly related to the function. For things to serve its
purpose, it has to fulfill its function. The different functions of art are:
Personal Function, Social Function, and Physical Function.

ANSWER: The Philosophies of Art, Philosophy of art is the

study of the nature of art, including concepts such as interpretation,
representation expression, and form. It is closely related to aesthetics
,the philosophical study of beauty and taste. The three Philosophies of
art are: Art as Imitation, Art as Representation and Art for Art's Sake.
According to the simplest and widest definition, art is anything that is
human-made. Within the scope of this definition, not only paintings and
sculptures but also buildings, furniture, automobiles, cities, and garbage
dumps are all works of art: every change that human activity has
wrought upon the face of nature is art, be it good or bad, beautiful or
ugly, beneficial or destructive.

Art as Imitation
-art as imitation came from the Greek Philosopher Plato. In his book he considers art is as
imitators and art as imitation of what is in the reality. Plato is not agree in the conclusion of
art in the curriculum because for him it highly affects human reasoning. In the Republic,
Plato says that art imitates the object and events of ordinary life. In order words, a work of
art is a copy of a form. It is even more of an illusion than is ordinary experience.

Art as Representation
-this is view of art came from Aristotle. Representational art describes artworks–particularly
paintings and sculptures– that are clearly derived from real object sources and therefore are
by definition representing something with strong visual references to the real world. Most
but not a abstract art is based on imagery from the real world.

Art for Art's Sake

-Art for Art's Sake, a slogan translated from the French which was coined in the early
19th century by the French Philosopher Victor Cousin– is a phrase that expresses the
philosophy that the intrinsic value of art and the only true art, is divorced from any
didactic, moral, political, or utilitarian function.

-The three Philosophies of art are Art as Imitation, Art as Representation and Art for Art's
Sake, are both study of the nature of art including concepts such as interpretation,
representation, expression and form and are both closely related to aesthetic, the
philosophical study of beauty and taste.
