INFORMATION SHEET PR-1.1.1

“Art, Imagination, Creativity, and Expression”

 It takes an artist to make art. One may perceive beauty on a daily basis.
 However, not every beautiful thing that can be seen or experienced may truly be called a work
of art.
 Art is a product of man’s creativity, imagination, and expression.

Art Appreciation as a way of Life

“The role of art as a creative work is to depict the world in a completely different light and perspective.”
– Jean-Paul Sartre

o Each artwork beholds beauty in its own kind, the kind that the artist sees and wants the viewers
to perceive.
o More often than not, people are blind to this beauty and only those who have developed a fine
sense of appreciation can experience and see the art the way the artist did.
o Hence, refining one’s ability to appreciate arts allows him to deeply understand the purpose of
an artwork and recognize the beauty it possesses.
o In cultivating an appreciation of art, one should also exercise and develop his taste for things
that are fine and beautiful.
o This allows individuals to make intelligent choices and decisions in acquiring necessities and
luxuries, knowing what give better value for time or money while taking into consideration the
aesthetic and practical value.
o Learning to appreciate art no matter what vocation or profession you have, will lead to a fuller
and more meaningful life.

The role of Creativity in Art Making

Creativity requires thinking outside the box.

o In art, creativity is what sets apart one artwork from another.

When can we say that something is creative?

o When we have not seen anything like it.
o When it is out of the ordinary.
o When it is not just a copy or imitation of someone’s work.
…THERE IS ORIGINALITY!
o Nowadays, being creative can be quite challenging.

Art as a product of Imagination

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and
understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and
understand.” – Albert Einstein.

o Through imagination, one is able to craft something bold, something new and something better
in the hopes of creating something that will stimulate change.
o In artist’s mind sits a vast gallery of artworks.
o An artwork does not need to be a real thing, but can be something that is imaginary.
o However, something imaginary does not necessarily mean it cannot be called art. Artists use
their imagination that gives birth to reality through creation.
o In the same way that imagination produces art, art also inspires imagination.
