Art Apreciation Sample Questions

Art Appreciation
1.) If you were an artist, what kind of artist will you be?
I will be a filmmaker because as we all know films, movies, and dramas are a remarkably effective
avenue in conveying drama and particularly in the evocation of emotion. Ever since when I was a child,
I’ve watched so many films that captured my heart and emotions. These films or drams gave me joy and
lessons that helped me grow as a person now. In high school days, activities such as creating short
stories gave me an interest in the field of film production and arts. If I will be given a chance to become a
filmmaker, I will share my skills and inspire others by creating stories, movies, or films.
2.) How can you utilize the arts to express yourself, your community, and your relation to others?
Expression is what binds us to each other. That is what makes us unique. We demonstrate our
characteristics and preferences by expressing emotions and feelings. We can use art as medium to
creatively express ourselves, our community, and our relation to others. For instance, drawing and
painting serve as an outlet from the pressures and problems. Art is a way to release and express how
you feel in that moment. It tells us what we are. Individuals can utilize work of art to explore themselves
and as a basis for inner self-discovery. Art can help enhance our creativity and it can keep us mentally
healthy because it diverts us from sadness to a more positive and relaxing mood when accomplishing an
artwork.
On another view, performing local dances and showcasing your art skill through creating
traditional craft is a great way to represent and promote tourism to your community. Filmmaking is
another way to express your community in different aspects. Films of any genre, from documentary to
drama, can have a dramatic impact on your community and on real life. When it comes to expressing
your relation to others, composing a song is an effective form of art to convey your emotions, affection
appreciation, and feelings towards them.
3.) Does art always have a function? Why? Can you provide your own example?
Yes, art always have a function. Regardless of physical function of art such as Architecture,
jewelry making, and interior design. The underlying function of art is to communicate. The personal
function of art varied and highly subjective. This clearly means that its function depends on the
perception of a person. Art is a way to present an ideas and emotions to the audiences. Also, it is
created by the artist to emancipate self-expression. For instance, an artwork that give joy to the one
that observe but in the eye of the artist or creator it symbolizes sadness. The execution of the art may
vary to the interpretation of the viewers but the function to communicate was there.
However, there are arts that are meant to have physical function and their purpose is to serve as
utility for the people or another object. This art does not just need to be aesthetic but for functionality
such as furniture, architecture, and many design disciplines. Moreover, there are objects that are not
intended to be an art but eventually it has been discovered by experts and after thousands of years they
decided to put it in a museum and considered as work of art. These are ancient ceramics, tools, weapon,
utensils for cooking and any functional instruments for practical use. We are appreciating things such as
pots, tables, utensils, and chairs regardless of their functional role but how we feel towards that object
and how it captures our emotion by perceiving their beauty and aesthetics.
4.) If an art ceased to have a function, will it still remain an art? Why?
Art does not need to have a function in the first place. Thus, an artwork or form of art has no function to
lose.
The creation of a work of art is its are to be a work of art.
If the meaning of art is an activity or purpose natural to or intended for a person or thing, then art does
not need to have a practical function to be called art or considered as art.
The underlying function of art is to communicate.
Subjectivity in art is the word we use to explain how different people can respond to a work of art in
different ways. Subjectivity is based on personal opinions and feelings rather than on agreed facts. A
painting might be “beautiful” to one person and “ugly” to another, but the material object remains
unchanged.
