WHAT IS HUMANITIES?
 are a diverse collection of
fields that study and describes
our culture, society, and
beliefs. Simply put, the
humanities describe who we
are and what it means to be
human. The humanities
include literature, history,
philosophy, language and
linguistics, art and music
history, and so on.
Why do we need to study
humanities?
train us to think deeply, independently, and
creatively, qualities needed in every aspect of
our lives, from business to engineering, the
sciences, politics, and the overall culture. It
helps us to better understand who we are,
our identity as a people, a society, and a
culture, and how to organize our societies so
we can achieve our goals.

of the religious philosopher.
During Renaissance Period. To make man richer because
during that time only the rich people can make art like
paintings, sculpture and etc.

INTRO TO ART
APPRECIATION
WHAT IS ART?
the expression or application of human creative skill
and imagination, typically in a visual form such as
painting or sculpture, producing works to be
appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional
power.
According to Plato, art tries to reach the ideal that
brings life in harmony with the beauty of the world.
According to Aristotle, art should express harmony.
According to Kant, art is the product of genius.
WHAT IS ART?
art, also called (to distinguish it from other art forms)
visual art, a visual object or experience consciously
created through an expression of skill or imagination.
The term art encompasses diverse media such as
painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, decorative
arts, photography, and installation.
Art is something that is perennially around us.
Some people may deny having to do with the arts but it
is indisputable that life presents us with many forms of
and opportunities for communion with the arts.
WHAT IS ART?

is a product of man's need to express himself.

modes of expression that use skill or imagination in the
creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or
experiences that can be shared with others.
IMPORTANCE OF ART:
It’s natural human behavior
It’s a language
Art tells a story
Therapeutic
Evoke emotions from people
Increases creativity
It makes people happy when they create
Vital to human development
It makes drab places look amazing.
It’s good for the economy

 WHAT IS ART
APPRECIATION?

Art appreciation is the knowledge and understanding of the universal and

timeless qualities that identify all great art. The more you appreciate and
understand the art of different eras, movements, styles and techniques,
the better you can develop, evaluate and improve your own artwork.
refers to the exploration and analysis of the art forms that we are exposed
to. It can be highly subjective, depending on an individuals personal tastes
and preferences, or can be done on the basis of several grounds such as
elements of design and mastery displayed in the piece.

History of Arts
International

Artistic paintings were introduced to Filipinos in the 16th century when

the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines. During this time, the Spaniards
used paintings as a visual aid for their religious propaganda to spread
Catholicism throughout the Philippines.
Art history – the study of art from across the world, and from the ancient
to the present day – covers virtually every aspect of human history and
experience. This is because it looks at works of art not just as objects, but as
a way of understanding the world, and the societies in which they were
created.
Different Classifications of Art
BY THE AUDIENCE

Performing Arts- using the body as a medium

Visual Arts- a two-dimensional form; stay in one place
Literature- language that made us think
Sculptural- three-dimensional form; we can touch & see
Different Classifications of Art
WHAT IS ART?
BY THE CRITICS

MAJOR ARTS- Some view literature, painting, sculpture,

and music as the main four arts, of which the others are
derivative; drama is literature with acting, dance is music
expressed through motion, and song is music with
literature and voice.
WHAT IS ART?
BY THE CRITICS

MINOR ARTS- is a secondary specialization & can be

either a complementary subject to that goal or further
exploration of a hobby or interest.
PURE ARTS- created and performed for other sake &
satisfies an audience
PRACTICAL ARTS- with a purpose

Other classification

Real Art- something that is understandable "what you see

is what you get", objective and representational.
Abstract Art- non subject matter, non representational
that we cannot understand on the part of the listener.

Elements of Art

Color (HUE) - is a basic element of art that involves light. It is produced

when light waves (wavelength) strike an object and are reflected into our
eyes. Each light wave has a distinct color. Objects appear to be different
colors because some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected or
transmitted.
Its main characteristics are hue, saturation, luminosity, and brightness. We
can also describe the color as hot or cold depending on the side of the
spectrum to which it belongs. Let's see the main characteristics of color in
artwork and how the artists use them.
Example of Color and
its meaning
Black - death, mourning, evil magic, and darkness, but it can also symbolize elegance, wealth,
restraint, and power.
Blue - representing trust, loyalty, and faith, blue is also often associated with calmness and
tranquility.
Brown - simplicity, health, and dependability.
Green - growth, harmony, fertility, and freshness.
Orange - energy, enthusiasm, and balance
Pink - love, romance, and even lust.
Red - power, passionate love, passion, adventure, and energy
Violet - creativity, extravagance, dignity, grandeur, independence, pride, peace, mystery, and
magic.
White - purity, simplicity, and cleanliness.
Yellow - happiness, enlightenment, joy, positivity, and clarity.
Properties of Colors
Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity (brightness or dullness).

Value - defines how light or dark a given color or hue can be. Values are
best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient, from dark to light.

Example: If you took a black and white

photograph of your painting, the shades
of grey would be the different values or
tones within the painting.
Properties of Colors
Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity (brightness or dullness).
Hue - refers to the origin of the colors we can see. It corresponds to
its position in the spectrum.

Examples of hues are red,

orange, yellow, green, blue,
and violet.
Properties of Colors
Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity (brightness or dullness).
Intensity (also called chroma or saturation) is the brightness or dullness of a color. Color as
we see it on a color wheel is at full intensity (bright). When we mix it with gray, black, or
white, it becomes dull.
Classification of Colors
Primary Colors - include yellow, blue, and red. These are colors that can't be created by
mixing of other colors. Instead, they combine to create secondary colors, which in turn
combine to create tertiary colors. In effect, all colors stem from the three primaries. Using
Primary Colors in Art.

Example: Red, Blue, and

Yellow
Classification of Colors
Secondary Colors - These are colour combinations created by the equal mixture of two
primary colours. On the colour wheel, secondary colours are located between primary
colours. According to the traditional colour wheel, red and yellow make orange, red and
blue make purple and blue and yellow make green.

Example:
Blue + Yellow = Green
Red + Blue = Violet
Red + Yellow = Orange
Classification of Colors
Intermediate Colors - A color created by mixing a primary color with the secondary color
next to it; also called a tertiary color. Intermediate colors include red-orange, yellow-
orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet.

Example:
Yellow + Green = Yellow Green
Red + Violet = Red Violet
Red + Orange = Red Orange
Classification of Colors
Tertiary Colors - also known as intermediate colors, are made by combining equal parts of
primary and secondary colors. Sometimes they're named after the two colors that created
them, such as blue-green or orange-red, and sometimes they're called by their own name.

Example:
Orange + Purple = Russet
Orange + Green = Citron
Purple + Green =Olives
Direction of Line
Line - is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and
can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin..
Direction of Line
Vertical line - communicate a sense of height because they are perpendicular to the earth,
extending upwards toward the sky. In this church interior, vertical lines suggest spirituality,
rising beyond human reach toward the heavens.
Direction of Line
Horizontal line - a feeling of rest or repose because objects parallel to the earth are at rest. In
this landscape, horizontal lines also help give a sense of space. The lines delineate sections
of the landscape, which recede into space.
Direction of Line
Diagonal line - convey a feeling of movement. Objects in a diagonal position are unstable.
Because they are neither vertical nor horizontal, they are either about to fall or are already in
motion. The angles of the ship and the rocks on the shore convey a feeling of movement or speed
in this stormy harbor scene.
Direction of Line
Jog line - It shows violence, zigzag, confusion, and
conflict.
Direction of Line
Curve line - convey the feelings of comfort and ease, as well as sensual quality
as they remind us of the human body.
III. Medium
A “medium" can refer to the materials used to make a work of art (such as
clay, wood, paint, fabric, charcoal, etc.) and also refer to creation techniques
such as sculpture, printmaking, watercolor, or pottery.
IV. Rhythm
Rhythm refers to the movement within a piece of art that helps the eye travel through to a point of
focus. Like in music, rhythm in the art can vary in its speed ... some works are calm and more
relaxed while others are more energetic and active. Others may even seem a bit off balance if the
rhythm is regular.
V. Style
Style - the manner in which the artist portrays his or her subject matter and how the artist
expresses his or her vision.
Style is determined by the characteristics that describe the artwork, such as the way the artist
employs form, color, and composition, to name just a few.
VI. Structure
Structure - pertains to the arrangement and mutual relation of the part of the body, object, or
composition.
Structure refers to the relation of parts, to the relative proportions of the component elements.

Principles of Art
Principles of Art

Emphasis - the part of the design that catches the viewer's attention. Usually, the artist will make
one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color,
texture, shape, etc. Movement is the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to
focal areas.
Balance - the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design
was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable.
Harmony - creates cohesiveness by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts. One
should note that harmony is not the same as unity. Harmony does, however, enhance unity in a
work of art.
Variety - the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer's attention and to guide the
viewer's eye through and around the work of art. Unity is the feeling of harmony between all
parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness.
Principles of Art

Movement -the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such
movement can be directed along lines, edges, shapes, and colors within the work of art.
Rhythm - refers to the movement within a piece of art that helps the eye travel through to a point
of focus. Like in music, rhythm in the art can vary in its speed ... some works are calm and more
relaxed while others are more energetic and active.
Proportion or Scale - Scale is the size of one object to the other objects in a design or artwork.
Proportion refers to the size of the parts of an object to other parts of the same object. Throughout
the centuries, designers have used scale and proportion to depict or distract from the ideal.
Unity - about separate parts working together in a composition. In an artwork, unity creates a
sense of harmony and wholeness by using similar elements and placing them in a way that creates
a feeling of “oneness.” VARIETY adds interest by using juxtaposition and contrasting elements
within the composition.

WHAT IS ART
EXPRESSION?

art is the communication of feelings from artist to viewer

through certain external signs. Artists are people inspired
by emotional experiences. use their skill with words,
paint, music, movement, etc. to embody their emotions
in a work of art. with a view to stimulating the same
emotion in an audience.
WHAT IS ART EXPRESSION?
the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather
the subjective emotions and responses that objects and
events arouse within a person. The artist accomplishes
this aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism,
and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or
dynamic application of formal elements.
one of the commonest beliefs about art is that it is
essentially a form of expression what is more, the
expression of feeling this view is so common that it is
often simply assumed to be true by students, critics, and
artists
Artistic expression can be
enjoyed in a variety of forms
such as:

Painting and drawing

Sculpting
Needlework
Drama
Music
Dance
Creative writing
Photography

Significance, Efficiency and
Effectiveness of Expressive
Art Activities

Helping individuals relax

Providing a sense of control
Reducing depression and anxiety
Assisting in socialization and encouraging playfulness
and a sense of humor
Improving brain cognition
Offering sensory stimulation and reducing boredom
Fostering a stronger sense of identity and increasing self-
esteem
Nurturing spirituality

Art Expressionism
The artist accomplishes this aim through distortion, exaggeration,
primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or
dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader sense
Expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal,
spontaneous self-expression are typical of a wide range of modern
artists and art movements. Expressionism can also be seen as a
permanent tendency in Germanic and Nordic art from at least the
European Middle Ages, particularly in times of social change or
spiritual crisis, and in this sense it forms the converse of the
rationalist and classicizing tendencies of Italy and later of France.

Example of Art Expressionism

The roots of the German Expressionist school
lay in the works of Vincent van Gogh, Edvard
Munch, and James Ensor, each of whom in
the period 1885–1900 evolved a highly
personal painting style. These artists used the
expressive possibilities of colour and line to
explore dramatic and emotion-laden themes,
to convey the qualities of fear, horror, and the
grotesque, or simply to celebrate nature with
hallucinatory intensity. They broke away
from the literal representation of nature in
order to express more subjective outlooks or
states of mind.
LESSON 2:
ASSUMPTIONS IN ART
What is Assumptions
in Art?
The first assumption then about the humanities is that art has been crafted
by all people regardless of origin, time, and place, and that it stayed on
because it is liked and enjoyed by people continuously. A great piece of work
will never be obsolete. Some people say that art is art for its intrinsic worth.
Three assumptions on art are ART are its UNIVERSALITY, it's not being
NATURE, and its need for experience. Art is present in every part of the
globe and in every period. This is what is meant by its universality. Art, not a
nature, not even attempting to simply mirror nature, is the second
assumption about art.
Types of Assumption in Art
Art is Universal - Art has always been timeless and universal,
spanning generations and continents through and through.
Art is not nature - Art is man's expression of his reception of
nature. Art is man's way of interpreting nature.
Art involves experience - Unlike fields of knowledge that
involve data, art is known by experience. A work of art then
cannot be abstracted from actually doing. To know what an
artwork is, we have to sense it, see or hear it, and see and
hear it.
Assumptions in Art
Art has been created by all people at all times, in all
countries and it lives because it's well-liked and enjoyed.
Art involves experience.
Art is not nature; nature is not art.
Art is cultural.
Art is a form of creation.
Art is subjective.
Fine Arts and Applied Arts
What is Fine Art?

Fine art is traditionally defined as any form of visual art that

is not considered a trade and cannot be used for commercial
or practical purposes. It is artwork created only to be
enjoyed and viewed for its artistic merits, such as a painting
and sculpture. Fine art can be appreciated for its own sake
rather than its practical function.
What is Applied Art?

Applied art is any form of art created with a specific practical

purpose in mind. This type of art can be found in various
mediums, such as design, decoration, and even advertising.
Applied art is often used for commercial or utilitarian
purposes, such as product design or architecture. Applied arts
can be referred to as both crafts or commercial arts.
Historically the applied arts were considered the low arts,
while fine art was considered high art.

Differentiate and Similarities of
Fine and Applied Arts
Differences Between Fine Art And Applied Art While all art has
commonalities there are several key points that distinguish fine art from
applied art. Here are some more differences between fine arts and applied
arts. Fine art is often not created to be sold commercially. It is designed to be
exhibited or displayed in a private collection, gallery, or museum for people's
admiration and enjoyment. The applied arts must be commercially viable to
sell, usually en masse rather than as an original or one-of-a-kind work. Fine
artworks are often more abstract, featuring bold colors and wild shapes.
Applied arts such as design and decoration may sometimes feature abstract
images (e.g., artists like Mondrian). Still, they are more realistic a lot of the
time, featuring images that resemble things in the real world.
Differentiate and Similarities of
Fine and Applied Arts
Historically, fine art is a form of entertainment that does not have any practical
impact on our daily lives. However, applied arts such as design and decoration often
have a practical application to apply to products or objects that we use every day.
While fine art does not need to be commercially viable, it is usually more highly
valued than applied art, and Fine art is therefore generally more expensive than
applied art. Applied arts are often made to be used or worn, while fine arts are
typically intended to be statically displayed and admired. Finally, applied arts are
often created by a team, and they're not associated with a single artist. You do not find
an artist's name on the final product. Instead, the item may be sold under a brand
name. Fine arts, however, are often connected to famous artists, for example, a
painting by Monet or a sculpture by Rodin
 Differentiate and Similarities of
Fine and Applied Arts
There are several similarities between fine art and applied art.
Firstly, both types of art can be used for decorative purposes.
Secondly, fine art and applied art can be used to communicate ideas or messages
and can be used to evoke emotions in the viewer.
Fine art and applied art can utilize the same materials and skills to create
beautiful artworks, and some artists will work as both fine artists and commercial
artists making applied artworks.
Finally, both types of art can create a sense of beauty in the world. They are both
types of art that are very important in our world. To explore fine art from
contemporary artists, visit an Eden Gallery location or our online art gallery.
