ARTS
1. Art: Concept or Fact?

As a concept, it is subject to be understood and be grasped by

springs from the ideas and emotions of man concretized by
means of any sensuous material.
But, art as a fact is observable; is that which is known
through the senses.

and he is good at his job to the extent that he can
successfully follow the relevant rules.

The artist must be creative and original.


4. The Use of Natural Objects in Works of Art

There are some artists who would use the natural objects as
they are without changing them in levying or carrying their art
work.

Under the principle of Transformation, the artists have the


necessarily alter the natural objects in carrying their art work
because by so doing the idea of the artist, the purpose of the
art, and the circumstances surrounding the art can properly be
served.

2. Both practically useful and disinterestedly pleasing ; and

3. Not practically useful, but disinterestedly pleasing


6. Natural objects vs. Artifacts

single category: 1. Works of art can express ideas or feelings, but
nature cannot.

2. Works of art---like sentences, but unlike natural objects--can mean


something.

7. They are beautiful.
8. Resemblance theory in Art Work

resemblance nature, but it can never duplicate nature in as
much as it is only man-made.
9. Art is Everywhere

In every age or country, there is always art. Wherever we


go, whether it is a city or a province, here or abroad, we
surely have to pass buildings of various sorts---houses,
schools, churches, stores, etc. S
10. Common Among Art Works (Unity)

The one thing that is common to all the works of art is


the tie that relates a painting to a song, a play to a
dance. The most basic relationship is that the arts are
concerned with emotions; with our feelings about
things.
11. Diversity in Arts

The arts are remarkable in their diversity, not only in the


subject matter but also in the materials and in the forms. The
artist is influenced by the world around him, so that his work
reflects the time and the place in which he lives.
