Importance of studying Art
Appreciation & Philosophy
Art helps us make sense of our
world, and it broadens our
experience and understanding.
The arts enable us to imagine
the unimaginable, and to
connect us to the past, the
present, and the future,
AG Saño sometimes simultaneously.
Philosophy uses the tools of
logic and reason to analyze the
ways in which humans
experience the world. It teaches
critical thinking, close reading,
clear writing, and logical
analysis; it uses these to
understand the language we use
to describe the world, and our
Aristotle and Plato detail of School of Athens is a painting by Raffaello
place within it.Sanzio

What are the humanities?
❖The Humanities traditionally encompass those
disciplines that treat human culture, experience and
perception as an object of study while simultaneously
treating the person as a knowing subject, and that pierce
to the core of culture and the human condition.
❖ These disciplines include the traditional liberal arts

such as Philosophy, music, art, Literature, religion,
ethics, and history; increasingly the humanities have
widened so as to include disciplines such as political
Science, Law, Archeology, and Anthropology.
These disciplines , often overlooked
or undervalued in the age of
technology and information seek to
reawaken the wonder of human
accomplishment, to sharpen the
intellect, and to fire the imagination,
and to reflect the perennial questions
of human existence. (utc.edu)
Why do we need to study humanities?
The humanities serve to provide the

student with certain skills and values
through the arts. Students learn to
appreciate the importance of value that no
other subject can describe those values
which are directly an exact.
As field of study, the humanities
emphasize analysis and exchange of
ideas rather than the creative expression
of the arts or the quantitative
explanation of the sciences.
