Activity 1.
In the first column of the table below, list down your most striking encounters
with arts. On the second column, explain why you think each encounter is an
experience with art.
My Encounters with Arts Why?
1. Photography I consider photography to be an art
form because it simply expresses
human creative skills in taking good
photographs. Not everyone has the
talent for capturing the best pictures,
but only the most capable ones. All of us
can take pictures by just clicking the
camera, but not all of us can take good
pictures. This means that only
photographers know how to get the right
angle, good exposure, and other things
to enhance the picture. On every special
occasion, we hire a photographer to take
pictures, even if we have our own
cameras. It’s because their photographs
are good and I consider them art. The
photographer uses his creativity in
capturing shots, and that is what makes
art. Photography captures moments and
often tells stories in a single photo, and
just like in other arts, there is a
message behind pictures.
2. Music I encounter music almost everyday of
my life. Whenever I go to see my
friends, classmates, or cousin, I always
listen to a different genre of music. I
consider music an experience of art
because singers or composers are able
to express their feelings and thoughts
through music. They are using their
inner feelings to produce a good and
relatable song. And when you hear
 them, you seem to feel their songs. 
3. Painting Painting is one of my favorite
encounters with the arts. When I was in
senior high, we painted a popular
masterpiece by DaVinci, which is the
Monalisa. That was not my first
exposure to painting, but I was able to
experience the life of a painter when we
were given the task of painting his piece.
DaVinci’s realistic portrait is different
from ours. The stroke and color tone he
uses are appropriate. It’s like he is just
taking a picture of the real Monalisa
because everything is perfect. There is
no doubt that the Mona Lisa is a very
good painting. It was highly regarded
even as Leonardo worked on it. For me,
it is an experience of art because only a
good painter can create that kind of
masterpiece. Not everyone has the talent
to paint.
4. Novel A novel is part of literature, and
everything in literature is an art. I
consider a novel an experience of art for
the reason that only creative minds can
articulate and make a good novel. I
always watch telenovelas from different
countries. While watching a drama, it
feels like you are there. You can feel the
feelings of the actor and actress. If they
cry, you cry. If they are happy, you're
happy. Novels play your emotions, and
only veterans can do that. More so, a
novel has a creative flow of story.
Scriptwriters, directors, and others
behind the camera combine their skills
and knowledge to produce a good
drama. That is a work of art.
5. Last but not least, is dancing. Dancing
is very popular right now, especially on
social media. We see people dancing
because they are bored, to exercise, to
show off their talents, or just for fun.
Through dancing, we can express our
inner emotions and thoughts using our
bodies. I consider dancing an experience
 of art because, just like painting,
dancing requires creativity and rhythm. 

Activity no.2

Answer the following questions as precisely yet as thoroughly as possible.

1. If you were an artist, what kind of artist would you be?
I love making art with the use of software and hardware tools. If I become an
artist, I want to be a digital artist

2. Why is art not nature?

There is a big difference between art and nature. Art is a man-made creation, such
as a painting, photograph, etc. While nature is a divine creation, Art can only
imitate nature through using artistic materials and elements as they appear in
real life. Art can even make nature beautiful and colorful. Art can also express
nature through dancing, singing, and literature, but it doesn’t mean art is nature.
We can think of art as a unique creation that we produce to express our feelings
about nature. Even if we use natural materials, it will not be able to recreate
natural phenomena on its own and will only be a reflection of our worldview.

3. Why is art ageless and timeless?

Art is both ageless and timeless. Everyone can do art. Even if you are at the age
you are at right now, you can paint. Even senior citizens are allowed to do art. Art
is also timeless because it continually evolves. Even the art painted years ago, the
masterpiece resonate with the audience no matter where or when they are from.

4. Why does art involve experience?

You cannot create good art without experience. For me, beginners become
veterans based on experience. Beginners make "not so good" art, yet when they
undergo training and continue to make art, their experience will help them
improve. That's why art involves experience, because an artist utilizes their
learning from those experiences to produce good art.

_____________________________________________________________________________ Lesson 2:
Art Appreciation: Creativity, Imagination, and Expression

By the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Differentiate art from nature
2. Characterize artistic expression based on personal experiences with art
3. Discuss the nature of art’s preliminary expression
4. Categorize works of art by citing personal experiences

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 a man’s creativity, imagination, and expression. No matter how perfectly blended
the colors of sunset are and no matter how extraordinarily formed mountains are, nature is
not considered art simply because it is not made by man. Not even photographs or sketches
of nature, though captured or drawn by man, are works of art, but mere recordings of the
beauty in nature (Collins, 1931). 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. In
deciding what pair of shoes to buy, we carefully examine all possible choices within our
budget and purchase the one that satisfies our beauty and practical standards. We are able
to distinguish what is fine and beautiful from what is not and what is good quality from
poor. This gives us a role in the field of art appreciation.
The Role of Creativity in Art Making
Creativity requires thinking outside the box. It is often used to solve problems that have
never occurred before, conflate function and style, and simply make life a more unique and
enjoyable experience. In art, creativity is what sets apart one artwork from another. We say
something is done creatively when we have not yet seen anything like it or when it is out of
the ordinary. 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. He embraces
originality, puts his own flavor into his work, and calls it his own creative piece.
Yet, being creative nowadays can be quite
challenging. What you thought was your own
unique and creative idea may not what it
seems to be after extensive research and that
someone else has coincidentally devised before
the idea in another part of the world. For
instance, the campaign ad “It’s more fun in the
Philippines” used by the Department of
Tourism (DOT) boomed popularity in 2011, but
later
on it was found out that it was allegedly plagiarized from Switzerland’s tourism slogan “It’s
more fun in Switzerland,” back in 1951. In DOT’s defense former DOT Secretary Ramon
Jimenez Jr. claimed that it was “purely coincidental.” Thus, creativity should be backed
with careful research on related art to avoid such conflicts.
Art as a product of Imagination, Imagination as a product of Art
Where do you think famous writers, painters, musicians get their ideas? Where do ideas in
making creative solutions begin? It all starts in the human mind. It all begins with
imagination. According to Albert Einstein, “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.”
Imagination is not constrained by the walls of the norm but goes beyond that. That is why
people rely curiosity and imagination for advancement. Through imagination, one is able to
craft something bold, something new, and something better in the hopes of creating
something that will stimulate change. Imagination allows endless possibilities.
Art as Expression
There may have been times when you felt something is going on within you, you try to
explain it but you don’t know how. You may only be conscious about feeling this sort of
excitement, fear, or agitation, but you know that just one word is not enough to describe
the nature of what you truly feel. Finally you try to release yourself from this tormenting
world and disabling state by expressing through shouting or leaping in excitement. An
emotion will remain unknown to a man until he expresses it. Different forms of Art of
expression A. Visual Arts
Creations that fall under this category are those that appeal 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.

B. Film
Refers to the art of putting to gether
successions of still imagesin order to
create an illusion movement.
Filmmaking focuses on its aesthetic,
cultural, and social value, and is
considered as both an art and an
industry. Films can be created by
using one or a combination of some
or all these techniques: motion
picture camera (also known as
camera movie),
animation techniques, Computer-
generated Imagery (CGI), and more. Filmmaking stimulates experiences or creates
one that is beyondthe scope of our imagination as it aims to deliver ideas, feelings, or
beauty to its viewers. The element of filmmaking os so complex it has to take into
account many important elements such as lighting, musical score, visual effects,
direction, and more. That is why in famous film festivals and awards such as the
Metro manila Film Festival and Oscars, a long list of categories is considered to
recognize excellence in the art of filmmaking.
C. 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. It ususally consists of four elements: time, where the
performance took place, the performer’s or performer’s body, and a 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,
unlike the previously discussed art expressions.

D. Poetry Performance
Poetry is an art form where the artist expresses his emotions
not by using paint, charcoal, or camera, but express through
words. These words are carefully selected to exhibit clarity
and beauty and to stimulate strong emotions of joy, anger,
love, sorrow and the list goes on.

E. Architecture
As discussed, art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful
things while
architecture is the making of beautiful buildings. However, not all buildings are
beautiful. Some buildings only embody the functionality they need, but the structure,
lines forms, and colors are not beautifully expressed. Thus, not all buildings can be
considered architecture. Take, for example the Grand Theatre de Bordeaux where the
functionality of the theater remains, but striking balance of the lines, colors, and
shapes completes masterpiece. Buildings should embody these three important
elements—plan, construction, and design—if they wish to merit the title architecture
(Collins, 1931).
F. Dance

Dance is a series of movements that follows the rhythm of the music of the
accompaniment. It has been and age-old debate whether dance can really be
considered an art form, but here we primarily describe dance as a form of expression.
Dancing is a creative form that allows people to freely express themselves. It has no
rules. You may say that the choreography does not 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 long as the deem them graceful
and beautiful.

G. Literary Art
Artists who practice arts use words –not paint, musical instruments, or chisels to
express themselves and communicate emotions to the readers. However, simply
becoming a writer does not make a literary artist. Simply constructing a succession
of sentences in a meaningful manner is not literary art. Literary art goes beyond the
usual professional, academic, journalistic, and tother technical forms of writing.
H. Theater
Theater uses live performers to present
accounts or imaginary events before a live
audience. Theater art performances usually
follow a script, though they should not be
confused with literary arts. Much like
filmmaking, theater also considers several
elements such as acting, gesture, lighting,
sound, effects, musical score, scenery, and
props. The combination of these elements is
what gives the strongest impression on the audience and the script thus
becomes a minor element.
I. Applied Arts
Applied is incorporating elements style and design to everyday items with the aim of
increasing aesthetical value. Artists in this field bring beauty, charm, and comfort
into many things that are useful in everyday life. Industrial design, interior design,
fashion design, and graphic, are considered applied arts. Applied is often compared
to fine arts, where the latter is chiefly concerned on aesthetic value. Through
exploration and expression of ideas, consideration of the needs, be careful choice of
materials and techniques, artists are able to combine functionality and style.

Lesson 3: Functions and Philosophical Perspectives
on Art By the end of the lesson, you should be
able to:

1. Distinguish between directly functional and indirectly

2. Explain and discuss the basic philosophical perspectives on the art
3. Realize the function of some art forms in daily life
Greek Philosopher Aristotle claimed that every particular substance in the world
has an end, or telos in Greek, which translates into “purpose.” Every substance,
defined as a former matter, moves according to a fixed path toward its aim. A seed
is bound to become full grown plant. A cocoon can look forward to flying high
when it morphs into a butterfly. A baby will eventually turn into a grown man or
woman.
 Functions of Art

When one speaks function, one is practically talking about the use of the object
whose function of art is an inquiry on what art is for. Alternatively, the answer to the
question “what is it for” is the function of whatever “it” in the question refers to. Suppose
one asks, What is Rizal Monument for? Why was it erected in in Rizal park or what then
was called Luneta or Bagumbayan? Is it for pure sentimental value? Is it for its aesthetic
value? Or does it send a message to those who witness it? In this string of questions, the
inquirer is hoping to get the function of the piece of art in Rizal Park.
When it comes to function, different art forms come with distinctive functions. There
is no one to one correspondence between an art and its function. Some art forms are more
functional than others. Architectural for example, as an art is highly functional just like
most applied arts. A building as a work of art is obviously made for a specific purpose.

A. Personal Functions of Art

The personal functions of
art are varied and highly
subjective. This means that
its functions depend on the
person the artist who
created the art. An artist
may create an art out of
need for self expression.
This is the case for an
artist who needs to
communicate an idea to his
audience. It can also be
mere entertainment for his
intended audience. Often,
the artist may not even intend to mean
anything with his work.
An art may also be therapeutic. In some orphanages and home for abandoned
elders, art is used to help residents process their emotions or while away their time.
Recently, the use of adult coloring books to de-stress has been apparent too. Now
with a lot of designs being sold in bookstores nationwide. These all fall under
personal functional functions of art.
B. Social Functions of Art
Art is considered to have a social function if and when it addresses a particular
collective interest as opposed to a personal interest. Political art is a very common
example of an art with a social function. Art may convey message of protest,
contestation, or whatever message the
 artist intends his work to carry.
Often, Art can also depict social
conditions. Photography, as an art
form, delivers this kind of function by
taking photos of subjects in
conditions that people do not
normally take a look at or give
attention to. Pictures of Poverty may
carry emotional overtones that may
solicit action or awareness from their
audience. Moreover, Performance art
like plays or satires can also rouse
emotions and rally people toward a
particular end. In these and more, the social function of art is apparent.

C. Physical Functions of Art

The physical functions of art are the easiest to sot and understand. The Physical
Functions of art can be found in artworks that are crafted to serve some physical
purpose. A Japanese raku bowl that serves a physical function in a tea ceremony is
an example. Architecture, jewelrymaking, and even interior design are all forms of
arts that have a physical function.
Other Functions of Art
Music as an art is also interesting to talk about in relation to function. Music in its
original form was principally functional. Music was used for dance and religion.
Unlike today, when one can just listen to music for the sake of music’s sake, the
ancient world saw music only as an instrument to facilitate worship and invocation
to gods. Music also was essential to dance because music assures synchronicity
among dancers. Moreover, music also guarantees that marchers, in case of warriors,
were simultaneous.
Today, music has expanded its function and coverage. Music is listened to and
made by people for reasons that were foreign to early civilizations.
Sculpture on the other hand, is another functional art form that has a long
existed for various purposes. Just like music, from the early days of humanity,
sculptures have been made by man most particularly for religion. People erect status
for the divine. In the Roman Catholic world, the employment of sculptures for
religious purposes has remained vital, relevant and symbolic.
Sculptures were also made in order to commemorate important figures in history.
Does Art Always Have to be Functional?
While it has been shown that most arts are functional, still there are some
which are not. The value of a work of art does not depend on function but on the
work itself. The plays of Aeschylus and the poetry of Robert Frost and Edgar Allan
Poe are still counted as example of great works of art despite their not having a
known function. In those whose functions are ascertained, however, it is a different
story. A functional object cannot be claimed unless it can perform its function
sufficiently. Consider a house that cannot even protect its resident from nasty
 weather outside or spoon that spill food on it. Adequate performance of function
partly determines the beauty of a design in these functional art forms.
Despite these, efficiency cannot be mistaken as beauty. While it certainly
determines beauty in some works of art, an efficient functional object is not
necessary beautiful. Art demands so much more than mere efficiency. What then
really comprises beauty and art? What makes a work of art? What really is art? The
next section attempts to provide different perspectives on the nature of art.

Philosophical Perspectives of Art

1. Art is imitation This is a feature of both of Plato's theories. Of course he was not the
first or the last person to think that art imitates reality. The idea was still very strong in the
Renaissance, when Vasari, in his Lives of the Painters, said that "painting is just the
imitation of all the living things of nature with their colors and designs just as they are in
nature." It may still be the most commonly held theory. Most people still think that a
picture must be a picture of something, and that an artist is someone who can make a
picture that "looks just like the real thing". It wasn't until late in the nineteenth century
that the idea of art as imitation began to fade from western aesthetics, to be replaced by
theories about art as expression, art as communication, art as pure form, art as whatever
elicits an "aesthetic" response, and a number of other theories.
So art is imitation. But what does it imitate? Here is where Plato's two theories come in. In
the Republic, Plato says that art imitates the objects and events of ordinary life. In other
words, a work of art is a copy of a copy of a Form. It is even more of an illusion than is
ordinary experience. On this theory, works of art are at best entertainment, and at worst a
dangerous delusion.
A moment's thought will suggest a way of building a more art-friendly theory out of Plato's
philosophy. What if the artist is somehow able to make a truer copy of the Forms than our
ordinary experience offers? This theory appears in Plato's short early dialogue, the Ion.
Socrates is questioning a poet named Ion, who recites Homer's poetry brilliantly but is no
good at reciting anything else. Socrates is puzzled by this; it seems to him that if Ion has an
art, or skill, of reciting poetry he should be able to apply his skilled knowledge to other
poets as well. He concludes that Ion doesn't really possess skilled knowledge. Rather, when
he recites Homer, he must be inspired by a god.
The Ion drips with sarcasm. Plato didn't take the "art by divine inspiration" theory very
seriously. But many ancient, medieval, and modern artists and aestheticians have found it
irresistible. After all, aren't artists often inspired? Doesn't their creative genius often
produce wonderfully surprising results, about which the artist will say, "I don't know how I
did that?" Most important, don't artists show us the essence of things, and reveal truths
that we wouldn't otherwise see?
2. Art as a Representation
Aristotle, Plato’s most important student in philosophy, agreed with his teacher the art is a
form of imitation. However, in contrast to the disgust that his master holds for art, Aristotle
considered art as an aid to philosophy in revealing truth. The kind of imitation that art
does is not antithetical to the reaching of fundamental truths in the world. Talking about
tragedies, for example, Aristotle in the Poetics claimed that poetry is a literary
representation in general. Akin to other art forms, poetry only admits of an attempt to
represent what things might be. For Aristotle, all kinds of art, including poetry, music,
dance, painting and sculpture, do not aim to represent reality as it is. What art endeavors
to do is to provide a vision of what might be or the myriad possibilities. Unlike Plato who
thought that artis an imitation of another imitation, Aristotle conceived of art as
representing possible versions of reality.
3. Art as Disinterested Judgement
Overview: The Critique of Judgment begins with an account of beauty. The initial issue is:
what kind of judgment is it that results in our saying, for example, ‘That is a beautiful
sunset’. Emmanuel Kant argues that such aesthetic judgments (or ‘judgments of taste’)
must have four key distinguishing features. First, they are disinterested, meaning that we
take pleasure in something because we judge
it beautiful, rather than judging it beautiful because we find it pleasurable. The latter type
of judgment would be more like a judgment of the ‘agreeable’, as when I say ‘I like
doughnuts’.
Second and third, such judgments are both universal and necessary. This means roughly
that it is an intrinsic part of the activity of such a judgment to expect others to agree with
us. Although we may say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, that is not how we act.
Instead, we debate and argue about our aesthetic judgments – and especially about works
of art -and we tend to believe that such debates and arguments can actually achieve
something. Indeed, for many purposes, ‘beauty’ behaves as if it were a real property of an
object, like its weight or chemical composition. But Kant insists that universality and
necessity are in fact a product of features of the human mind (Kant calls these features
‘common sense’), and that there is no objective property of a thing that makes it beautiful.
Fourth, through aesthetic judgments, beautiful objects appear to be ‘purposive without
purpose’ (sometimes translated as ‘final without end’). An object’s purpose is the concept
according to which it was made (the concept of a vegetable soup in the mind of the cook, for
example); an object is purposive if it appears to have such a purpose; if, in other words, it
appears to have been made or designed. But it is part of the experience of beautiful objects,
Kant argues, that they should affect us as if they had a purpose, although no particular
purpose can be found.
Having identified the major features of aesthetic judgments, Kant then needs to ask the
question of how such judgments are possible and are such judgments in any way valid
(that is, are they really universal and necessary).
4. Art as a Communication of Emotion

Art serves as a language, a communication device that articulates feelings and

emotions that are otherwise unavailable to the audience. In the same way that language
communicates information to other people, art communicates emotions. In listening to
music, watching opera, and in reading poems, the audience is at the receiving end of the
artist communicating his and emotions.
 Art is a central to man’s existence because it makes accessible feelings and emotions
of people from the past and present, from one continent to another. In making this these
possibly latent feelings and emotions accessible to everyone. Thus, even at present one can
commune with early Cambodians and their struggles by visiting the Angkor Wat or can
definitely feel for the early royalties of different Korean dynasties by watching Korean
dramas. Art allows for these possibilities.

Activity no. 1
Answer the following questions as precisely yet as thoroughly as possible.

1. What art form/artwork has changed something in your life? Why? Account for
experience.
My digital artwork has changed something in my life because I'm able to express my
creativity through this platform. I began to love making art using my phone, and I found
out that I can really draw well using different applications of art. I studied for 6 years to
become familiar with and master different software, and now I'm able to perfectly create
digital artworks. I even attend contested events about digital poster making or anything
that involves digital art. 

2. Does art always have function? Why? Support your response. Provide your own example.
Yes, every piece of art we make has a purpose or function. It depends on the artist. Why
did he/she create the art? For example, dancers dance for the festival, singers sing for
the concert, painters paint for the exhibit, and others. Whether a particular piece of art
has existed for centuries or has yet to be created, it is functional in some way—all art
exists for a reason, and these reasons make up the functions of art. For me, I have a
variety of reasons why I create my digital artwork.

3. If an artwork ceased to have a function, will it remain an art? Why?

 A work of art is a work of art, and it will always be a an art. For example, I created an
artwork about a specific subject and posted it on my Facebook wall, and after decades,
the artwork appears to have lost its function after 10 years. It doesn’t mean that art is
not considered art anymore, because art doesn’t need to have a function to remain art. If
it’s art, then it’s art. People may lose interest in the piece, and the masterpiece may be
lying in a dusty corner of your bedroom, but it is still a work of art. We all know that all
arts are the manifestation of someone’s creative efforts. It can be lost in time for any
number of reasons, including: not being able to hear or see it after it has been
manifested. It still, though lost in time, remains artwork in the memories of those who
created it and/or witnessed it.

Lesson 4: Subject and Content

Subject Content Form

 Subject refers to the visual The meaning communicated How the elements and the
focus or the image that may by the artist or the artwork medium or material are put
be extracted from the together
meaning of the artwork.

What Why How

Types of Subject

A. Representational Art-These types of subjects refer to objects or

events occurring in the real world. It is also known as figurative art,
because as the name suggests the figures depicted are easy to make out
and decipher.

B. Nonrepresentational- Work that does not depict anything from the

real world (figures,
landscapes, animals, etc.) etc., but may also
express things
that are not visible – emotions
or feelings for example.
Nonrepresentational art does not
make a reference to the real world ,
whether it is a person, place, thing, or
even a particular event. It is stripped
down to visual elements such as
shapes, lines, and colors that are
employed to translate a particular feeling, emotion and even concept. It is also known
as non-figurative art.

C. Abstract art exists on a continuum, from somewhat representational work, to work

that is so far removed from its actual real-world appearance that it is almost impossible to
easily discern what is being represented. Abstract art is always connected to something
visual from the real world.
