Definition of art
> according to Webster, art ‘’ human ingenuity in adapting natural things to man’s use’’ therefore, an
artist uses his genius in transforming god-made things into man-made things that satisfy his needs.
For instances, he converts wood into a religious image, into a house into a piece of furniture. He
transforms plants into cloth which will later become his clothing, or he turns them paper which will
later become an item of painting or sculpture.
> art came from the word ‘’ Arts’’ which means skill. It is synonymous with skill, cunning, artifice,
and craft, which all means the faculty of what is devised. Webster, however, points out, art mat be
used interchangeably with all the other terms but, in its most distinct sense, it contracts with them in
implying a personal, unanalyzable creative power, skill stresses technical knowledge and
proficiency, cunning, suggest ingenuity and subtlety in devising, inventing, or executing. Artifice
suggest mechanical skills especially in imitating things in nature, craft may imply expertness in
workmanship or suggest s trickery and guile in attaining ones ends.
Functions of art
> art serves several functions which are corollary to its purposes. These functions include but are
not limited to the following: personal and individual, social, economic, political, historical, cultural,
religious, physical, and aesthetic.
Personal or individual function- artist have their personal reasons for indulging in art.
Example: the English poet Robert browning expressed his love to ElizabethBarret-browning in
the form of a poem entitled ‘’ my last duchess’’; Elizabeth did the same by mean of the poem
entitled ‘’ how do i love thee’’The personal functions of art are often the most difficult to explain.
There are many types of personal function, and they are subjective and will therefore vary from
person to person. An artist may create out of a need for self-expression, or gratification.

Social function- social being and as such he associated with his fellow beings. This associated is
evidence by the choral singing and group dancing in religious rites other practices. Oftentimes,
houses are constructed by groups of men for the smallest social groups in a society, the families.
Churches are built for communal work ship. A drama is performed by a group of performers called
the cast before a group of viewers known as the audience. Oral and written literatures are handed
from one generation to the next and enjoyed by the people of various races and ages. Jose Rizal’s
novels were written to arouse social consciousness. Museums house painting and sculpture which
are viewed by many onlookers. Social functions of art are those that go beyond personal intrinsic
value to art's social benefits. Individuals and their society are dynamically related. Art
communicates. Most often it is constructed with the intention of sharing responses to and opinions
about life with others. Art enriches, informs, and questions our world. When highly valued it can be
both a social and financial asset. Art can have powerful transformative and restorative effects within
a society as well.
Economic function- many people believe that it does not pay to be an artist. However, this belief is
negated by these facts. Joanne k. Rowling, the author of the best-selling harries potter series,
became one of the most highly-paid women in British history. Elvis Presley and MichaelJackson
raked millions for their best records. Painting of great painters such as da Vince and Buonarroti are
worth millions of dollars now. GMA 7 spent millions of pesos for the set of ‘’ INDIO ‘’ and
ENCANTADIA’’ and the costume pf RichardGutierrez in CAPTAIN BAEBELL.Arts and Designed

Political function- when ImeldaRomualdez Marcos, a patroness of the arts, became the governor
of metro manila, she promoted her political programs by means of the arts. Part of her beautification
program was the painting of murals along national roads and busy streets frequented by motorists.

history, emulated by other races all over the world.Historically, many works of art and nearly all
architecture were intended to serve some purpose beyond the aesthetic. Understanding function is

materials, format, and aspects of style.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Cultural function- buildings, furniture chairs, tables, clothes and the like form part of the country’s
materials culture, while music, dance, and language, which is incorporated in oral and written

Physical function- Paintings and buildings can both be symbols, but buildings also serve a
physical function. Many objects have both physical and aesthetic duties. Architects, Industrial and
Graphic Designers, Interior Decorators-all of these professionals have to balance form and function.
Art shares responsibility for the built environment: how it looks and how it works. Sometimes how it
looks improves how it works, and sometimes the opposite occurs.
9. Aesthetic function-While aesthetic communication can take place in a variety of ways, in art it
always involves the production of an artefact aimed at and productive of appreciation. ... Iseminger
emphasizes that the function applies to the practice of art as an institution, and not to the function
per se of every particular work of art. Arts works serve to beauty. Painting serve to decorate houses
and other buildings.

Every artist has his way of presenting his work. Such is called art style. Such style is affected by the
following factors. Geographical. Historical, social, ideational. Psychological, and technical.
Geographical factors- the place where the artist stays influence his works.factors are inclined to
obscure the geographical influence. Early art, too, shows the ... widening of intercourse brought
enlarged resources and movement of ideas. Moreover ... an important role in influencing the
development of art.
Historical factors- historical events exert a great influence on artist, particularly the written
Example joserizal’s novels, noli me tangere and El filibusterismo, graphically highlight the events
that took place in the country during the last century of Hispanic vaue. Art influences society by
changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. Research
has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self. ... Art preserves what fact-
based historical records cannot: how it felt to exist in a particular place at a particular time.
Social factors- Social relationship affects artist .Art influences society by changing opinions,
instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. Research has shown art
affects the fundamental sense of self. Painting, sculpture, music, literature and the other arts
are often considered to be the repository of a society's collective memory.
Ideational factors-the ideas coming various people also influence artist. The father of
psychoanalysis, Sigmund freud, proposed ideas that have influenced surrealist painters. The idea
that the human body is the most beautiful figure to present as an art subject gave rise to school of
though called nudism. Ideational factors are grouped into three categories: cognitive, emotional
and social. ... The more ideational factors that apply to someone, the greater the likelihood that
they will adopt a health behavior. When ideational factors are summed in this way, they are highly
predictive of health behaviors.
Psychological factors- at times, the works produced by the artist are affected by their
psychological make-up or frame of mind.Physiological factors are things related to your physical

structure due to injuries, extended periods of inactivity, or physical stress.
Technical factors- techniques matter as far artistic styles are concerned. In fact , painters employ
a variety of techniques to make their works unique. Different brushes produce different stroke, if
there are no brushes, painters use their hands. those without hands make use of their mouths or
feet. Moreover, those with airbrushes or similar equipment produce painting with the use of such
equipment. Additionally, paintings can be rendered, realistically, surrealistically, impressionistically,
and so on.
Principles of art
To come up with attractive artworks, artist must be governed by the five conventions of artistic
compositions. The five principles of art are harmony, balance, rhythm, proportion, and emphasis.
Harmony- harmony is the most essential factors in a composition. Also called, unity, harmony, is
achieve when all the elements of a thing are put together to come up with a coherent whole. Every
part of a work of art is necessary to the composition to the extent that all the parts exhibits a sense
of belongings together and a pleasing relationship with one another. If one of the parts does not
complement the others, then lack of harmony result.
Balance- known as physical equilibrium, balance is stability produced by even distribution of weight
on each side of the things. It is classified into formal or informal.
Formal balance- Formal balance means the elements in the design (photo, painting, structure)
are symmetrica. Formal balance exist if the weight at equal distance from the center are equal.
Sample of formal balance:
Informal balance- informal balance is present when the left and right sides of things, though not
identical in appearance, still display an even distribution of weight. It is also known as
asymmetrical or occult balance.
Rhythm- is the continuous use of a motif or repetitive pattern of a succession of similar or identical
items. It can be achieved by alternation use of two patterns alternately. is the pattern of regular or
irregular pulses caused in music by the occurrence of strong and weak melodic and harmonic beats
Proportion- is the comparative relationship of the different parts in relation to the whole. describe
the size of one object in relation to another, each object is often referred to as a

whole. Proportion has a very similar definition but tends to refer to the relative size of parts within a
whole
Emphasis- is giving proper important on one or more parts of the things or the whole things itself. It
is achieve by means of size or proportion, shape, color, line, position, and variety. More often than
not, the artist emphasizes the one with the bigger size or proportion, the one with a different shape
or color, the one with striking lines, the one positioned at the center, and the one that is unique.

Artist abound since there are many genres of art. And the art number of artist keep on increasing as
new forms of art emerge. Based on the sensory perception involved, the genres of art are classified
into visual arts, audio-visual arts, and literary arts.
Visual arts- are those forms perceive by the eyes. These include painting, sculpture, and
architecture. They are also called spatial arts because artworks produced under this genre occupy
space. They are further divided into graphic arts and plastic arts.
Graphic arts- are those visual arts that have length and width, thus they are also called two-
dimensional arts. Examples of these arts are painting, printing, drawing, sketching, commercial art,
mechanical pro, and processes, computer graphics photography.
Plastic arts- are those visual arts that have length, width, and volume,thus they are also called
three-dimensional arts examples of these are sculpture, architecture, landscape, city planning,
interior, design, costume design, set design, theater design, industrial design, crafts.
Audio-visual arts- are those forms perceive by both ears and eyes. They called performing arts
inasmuch as the artist render a performance in front of an audience. Examples of these are music.
( vocal, instrumental, and mixed ) dance, ( ethnological, social, and theatrical ) and drama ( tragedy,
comedy, tragicomedy, farce, melodrama )
Literal arts- are those presented in the written mode and intended to be read. These include prose
( short stories, novels, essays, and plays ) and poetry ( narrative poems, lyric poems, and dramatic
poems )
Humanities or the study of the arts was limited to aesthetics or art appreciation and/or art
history during the second half of the 20th century. With the onset of the new millennium and the
recent developments in various disciplines, the study of humanities has extended to art production
and art criticism. In short, humanities deals with four divisions of art study, namely, art appreciation,
art history, art production, and art criticism.
Aesthetics or Art Appreciation. Aesthetic, the science of beauty, is that division of art study in
which the student learns to admire the artists, value highly different works of aart, and appreciate
the role of art in society.
Art History. Art history is that division of art study in which the student acquires knowledge of the
artists, their backgrounds, their masterpieces, and their significant contributions in various fields of
art.
Art Production. Art production is that division of art study in which the student learns to use his
creativity and apply his artistic knowledge and skills in producing his own works of art.
Art Criticism. Art criticism is that division of art study in which the student learns to use hus
judgement in evaluating different artworks based on the criteria set.
Integrative Art
A number of art forms are combined to form an art work. For example, an opera or musical
play is combination of music, dance, and drama. A building is an architectural work that can have
paintings and sculptures as integral parts. Dishes are products of culinary arts; they may have
vegetable or fruit sculptures as decorations. A t-shirt or another piece of garment may have a
design produced through computer graphics. A novel or another literary piece in book form may
have a painting or drawings as its cover. All these serve to exemplify integrative art.
Contemporary Art
Wikipedia defines contemporary arts as “art produced at the present period in time.
Contemporary art includes, and develops from, post-modern art, which is itself a successor to
modern art.” However, many people equate contemporary art with modern art. Another online
definition is “art that has been and continues to be created during our lifetimes.” Simply put, it is art
that is contemporary to us.
The period of modernism ends around 1970, which marks the start of the era of post-
modernism. And since post-modernism is the most recent movement in the field of art, it is
considered to be the contemporary art movement. Thus, contemporary art runs from 1970 until
now. “A whole lot of art from the last 30 years (or so) has been connected with one issue or
another: feminism, multiculturalism, globalization, bio-engineering and AIDS awareness all come
readily to mind as subject matter.”

is the point where the artist stands to view his subject as he creates his artwork. It refers to the
location and distance upon the appearance of an object by which his eyes judge spatial
relationships.
