Creativity, Imagination, and

the expression

 
 INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
 Discuss the nature of art‘s preliminary expression.
 Engage

 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. Not
everyone can be considered an artist, but all are
spectators of art.
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
 
 Each artwork beholds beauty in 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 way the artist did.
 
 Learning to appreciate art no matter what vocation
or profession you have, will lead to a fuller and more
meaningful life.
 Explore

 THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN ART MAKING
 Creativity requires thinking outside the box. In art,
creativity is what sets apart one artwork from
another. When can we say that something is creative
- when we have not seen anything like it, when it is
out of the ordinary, or when it is not just a copy or
imitation of someone’s work?
 Nowadays, being creative can be quite challenging.
 ART AS A PRODUCT OF
IMAGINATION, IMAGINATION AS A
PRODUCT OF ART

 “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

 Do you agree?
 
 In artist’s mind sits a vast gallery of artworks.

 Artists use their imagination that gives birth to

reality through creation. In the same way that
imagination produces art, art also inspires
imagination.
 ART AS EXPRESSION

 “What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it,
but express it. Through expression, he is able to
explore his own emotions and at the same time,
create something beautiful out of them.” – Robin
George Collingwood.

 Do you know some artists who have created

something beautiful out of their emotions?
 
The different art forms
 Visual Arts

 Visual Arts
 Creations that fall under this category are those that
appeals to the sense of sight and are mainly visual in
nature. Artists produce visual arts driven by their
desire to reproduce things that they have seen in the
way that they perceived them.
 
 There are also other artistic disciplines that also
involve a visual aspect, such as performance arts,
theater, and applied arts. Some mediums of visual
arts include paintings, drawings, letterings, printing,
sculpture, digital imaging.
FILM

 FILM

 Film refers to the art of putting together successions of
still images in order to create an illusion of movement.
Filmmaking focuses on its aesthetic, cultural, and
social value and is considered both an art and an
industry. Techniques in film-making process: Motion-
picture camera (also known as movie camera) ,
Animation technique, Computer-generated imagery
(CGI). Filmmaking simulates experiences or creates
one that is beyond the scope of our imagination as it
aims to deliver ideas, feelings, or beauty to its viewers.
 PERFORMANCE ART

 Performance art is a live art and the artist’s medium
is mainly the human body which he or she uses to
perform, but also employs other kind of art such as
visual art, props, or sound. Elements of performance
arts: Time, Where the performance took place, The
performer’s body Relationship between the audience
and the performer(s). The fact that performance art is
live makes it intangible, which means it cannot be
bought or traded as a commodity.
 POETRY PERFORMANCE

 Poetry is an art form where the artist expresses his
emotions not by using paint, charcoal, or camera, but
expresses them through words. These words are
carefully selected to exhibit clarity and beauty and to
stimulate strong emotions of joy, anger, love, sorrow
among others.
 
 It uses a word’s emotional, musical, and spatial
values that go beyond its literal meaning to narrate
emphasize, argue, or convince. These words
combined with movements, tone, volume, and
intensity of the delivery add to the artistic, value of
the poem.
 ARCHITECTURE


 By Zaha Hadid Architects

 ARCHITECTURE

 Art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful things
while architecture is the making of beautiful
buildings. However, not all building is beautiful
because some only embody the functionality they
need, but the structure, lines, forms, and colors are
not beautifully expressed.
 Important elements: Plan, Construction, Design,
Buildings should embody these three important
elements if they wish to merit the title architecture.
 DANCE

 Dance is series of movements that follows the
rhythm of the music accompaniment. Dancing is a
creative art form that allows people to freely express
themselves. Choreography may seem not to allow
this, but in art expression, dancers are not confined
to set steps and rules but are free to create and invent
their own movements as longs as they deem them
graceful and beautiful.
LITERARY ART


using a unique style, not following a specific format
or norm. It may include both fiction and non-fiction
