    Introduction

    Welcome to the first module of Art Appreciation. In this module, you will
    learn the preliminaries of the course prior to the core contents. This module will
    introduce you to the definitions, assumptions, scope, and limitations of art.
    COURSE MODULE

    Intended Learning Outcomes

    • Define what art is in their own words; and


    • Grasp the assumptions and beliefs on how one views art.

    Art Defined

    Art does not exist in a vacuum. All of us live with the existence of art, just
    as we breathe for air and take some food for sustenance; art exists in delight
    and serves its purpose of giving us the reason to sustain for living. To dig
    deeper into the realm of art, there are six notions of art we can explore,
    specifically:

    A. Art is Everywhere
    B. Art as Expression and Communication
    C. Art as Creation
    D. Art and Experience
    E. Art and Nature
    F. Art and Beauty

    Before we get into the core of the discussion, here are video links you may
    view to know more about how art is defined from various perspectives:

    Assumptions / Notions of Art


    1. Art is Everywhere. Art can be found anywhere and everywhere logically
    because we exist. It is in our nature as humans to express and to seek
    beauty as diversions from the mundanity of living. The reality of life is
    tough and art balances out that harshness, giving us a venue to breathe
    and to break from monotony. We bring art to the world because we
    continually seek balance. From the moment we wake up until we get
    into bed, we encounter so many art forms without even noticing them.
    Say, you are bored and you need music as diversion, or when you relax
    at a coffee shop and stare at the colorful paintings on the café walls,
    or when you go up to a spiral staircase embellished with intricate metal
    works on the railings. Art co-exists with us simply because they also bring
    with them functions apart from beauty.

    2. Art as Expression and Communication. There are a lot of things that


    visual art, auditory art and performing arts can say. Our individuality and
    our emotions toward people can be portrayed in different manners,
    Module crafted by Arvin Narvaza and Dr. Maria Angeles Hinosolango

    whether a song, a poem, a painting, or a sculpture. Moreover, because


    art is an expression, it also has the capacity to establish an identity.
    Artists become artists because they stand out from the crowd, this is
    because they express and communicate differently among others
    through their craft or art forms.

    3. Art as Creation. Art, more than its outcome, is its process. Art is given
    meaning because of how it is made. What makes an artist feel
    accomplished is his/her exploration and experimentation. The process
    consists of important steps and techniques that make up the totality of
    the artwork. Creation entails originality which requires planning, proper
    COURSE MODULE

    execution and consciousness for a well-thought output. Art creation


    can be systematic and it is a deliberative well-constructed act.

    4. Art and Experience. The aphorism that says “experience is the best
    teacher” holds true in the world of art. As one feels, sees, and
    experiences, the artists’ experiences are part of his/her total being, and
    once the artists express their thoughts, emotions and perspectives
    through their craft, they manifest them in their art. Experience does not
    only help you learn how to go about art, but it also contributes to how
    you express art in the most organic and authentic way.

    5. Art and Nature. Have you ever drawn a landscape, or a human body?
    These images depict a common theme which is nature. We duplicate
    nature using different media and techniques because we appreciate
    their beauty by curating them in artworks. So, how do you draw the line
    between art and nature? Going back to Art as creation, art is a
    deliberative well-constructed act. Nature is not art because it is not
    made by human beings, but nature can only be an inspiration for
    making art which human beings can imitate.

    6. Art as Beauty. Our perspective and taste for art are subjective because
    of our culture and breadth of artistic knowledge. What we consider
    beautiful may be a taboo for others, and what others consider beautiful
    may be peculiar for our taste. The decision to on sider what is “beautiful”
    is very hard when it comes to art. With this, beauty is not just in the eye
    of the beholder, but in the culture of the beholder.
