LESSON 2

Art Appreciation:Creativity,
Imagination, and
Expression
 Noteven photographs or
sketches of nature,
though captured or
drawn by man, are
works of art, but mere
recordings of the beauty
in nature (Collins &
Riley, 1931).

 Jean-Paul Sartre, a famous


French philosopher of the
twentieth century, described the
role of art as a creative work that
depicts the world in a completely
different light and perspective,
and the source is due to human
freedom (Greene, 1995).
Art Appreciation as a Way of Life

 Each artwork beholds beauty of its own


kind, the kind that the artist sees and
wants the viewers to perceive. 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 same
way the artist did. Because of this,
numerous artworks go unnoticed, artists
are not given enough credit, and they
miss opportunities.
Art Appreciation as a Way of Life

 It sometimes takes a lifetime before their


contribution to the development of art is
recognized. Hence, refining one's ability to
appreciate art allows him to deeply
understand the purpose of an artwork and
recognize the beauty it possesses (Collins &
Riley, 1931).

galleries
Art Appreciation as a

Performing arts theaters, concert
halls, or even malls that display art
exhibitions that are free in
admission during leisure time will
not only develop an understanding
of the art, but will also serve as a
rewarding experience, Learning to
appreciate art, no matter what
vocation or profession you have, will
lead to a fuller and more meaningful
life (Collins & Riley, 1931).

 "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."

 In an artist's mind sits a


vast gallery of artworks.
 An artwork does not need
to be a real thing, but can
be something that is
imaginary (Collingwood,
1938).

 Take for example a musician who


thinks of a tune in his head. The
making of this tune in his head
makes it an imaginary tune, an
imaginative creation, an
imaginary art (Collingwood,
1938).
 It remains imaginary until he
hums, sings, or writes down the
notes of the tune on paper.

 It remains imaginary until he hums,


sings, or writes down the notes of
the tune on paper. However,
something imaginary does not
necessarily mean it cannot be
called art.
 Artists use their imagination that
gives birth to reality through
creation.

there is no specific

Let's Wrap It Up
 Art is a product of a man's creativity, imagination, and
expression. An artwork may be inspired by nature or other
works of art, but an artist invents his own forms and patterns
due to what he perceives as beautiful and incorporates them
in creating his masterpiece. Perhaps not everyone can be
considered an artist, but surely, all are spectators of art,
which gives us all a role in the field of art appreciation.
Refining one's ability to appreciate art allows him to deeply
understand the purpose of an artwork and recognize the
beauty it possesses.
Let's Wrap It Up
 Lastly, through expression, an artist is able to explore his own
emotions while at the same time, create something beautiful out
of it. Expressing emotions is something different from describing
emotions. Description actually destroys the idea of expression,
as it classifies the emotion, making it ordinary and predictable.
Expression, on the other hand, individualizes the artist.
Let's Wrap It Up
 Creativity is what sets apart one artwork from another. A creative
artist does not simply copy or imitate another artist's work. He does
not imitate the lines, flaws, colors, and patterns in recreating nature.
 While through imagination, an artist is able to craft something
bold, something new, and something better in the hopes of creating
something that will stimulate change. In the same way that
imagination produces art, art also inspires imagination.
