1. Can you give one function of arts? Please explain briefly.

One function of arts is that it gives and forms feelings or ideas. Since arts is based on
person’s experiences, values, sentiments, ideals and goal this rounded the fact that arts like
any other thing stirs up emotion , we as an audience feel. It forms different views in life that a
person may perceive. Also one person may see that specific art as a mere rainbow but
anoother person may see it as journey in life. Thus, this conclude that art arouses our inner
being and emotions.
2. Is light important in creating a visual art? Why?

Yes it is important because it is what we use to see colors behind the art. Imagine
having no light while making a portrait this would lead to dark shaded pieces and only neutral
colors can be seen. Like for example portraits during 1800-1900 they barely use light because
they don’t have this, so they end up having a dark pice with minimal emphasis on the color.

3. How did learning about the elements of art help you appreciate arts as a whole?

It gives me the opportunity to see art in a different perspoective since honestly

speaking I am not a fan of works of arts I find it boring to just stare at it. But after learning
about its element, I realized that art is more than just drawings and show off but there is
always a meaning behind those pieces. Also, I learned to criticize different types of art based
on its elemenent like color, line , shape, form, and texture.
