Introduction:
Lecture-Discussion/ Input
The word “art” comes from the ancient Latin, ars which means a
craft or a specialized skill like carpentry or surgery. The ancient
world did not have any conceived notion of art in the same way
that we do now. To them, art only meant using bare hands to
produce something that will be useful to one’s day to day life.
Ars in medieval Latin came to mean something different. It
meant any special form of book learning such as grammar or
logic or astrology. It was only during the renaissance period that
the word reacquired a meaning that was inherent in its ancient
form of craft.
