What is Art is generally understood as any activity or product

done by people with a communicative or aesthetic purpose —
something that expresses an idea, an emotion or, more generally,
a world view.
It is a component of culture, reflecting economic and social substrates
in its design. It transmits ideas and values inherent in every culture
across space and time. Its role changes through time, acquiring more
of an aesthetic component here and a socio-educational function in
humanities.

of art and its unique contribution to mankind. Since men has interacted
within the society , art sprung up. In fact, in every country in every generation

Assumptions of Art
• Art is Not Nature

It is a self assumption that art is not nature simply because the natural things
around us as we believe created by God is a work of art. Though man’s art
may get from the nature or environment for inspirations, man most of the
time deal with the art using his own ability and skills to create one.
Surprisingly we as God’s most beautiful creation of art is capable of creating
our own masterpieces not only to please our eyes but to make our lives as
comfortable as it can be.

Assumptions of Art
• Art Involves Experience

All art involves experience. Experience is the actual doing of something. The
perfection of art appreciation will never be possible without experiencing art.
All art requires experience. One cannot say that the painting of Van Gogh’s
“Starry Night” is breathtaking not unless he saw and experience it by himself.
All art forms available to us demands experience. First-hand experience is
necessary to know a work of art.

Assumptions of Art
• Art Involves Experience
TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPERIENCE
Experience of Art is Subjective – Our judgement of art is highly personal and
individual. Not everybody will agree on ones judgment therefore it’s
tantamount to a famous saying that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Art Experience Accompanied by Emotional Response – Initial reaction in such
experience of art is inevitable. We may either like it or the other way around.
Just like the first one, the emotional effect of art in one person may not be
the same to others.
