ART APPRECIATION

It takes an artist to make an art...

Creativity, Imagination, and
Expression (Collins & Riley, 1931).

Art Appreciation as a Way of Life

05
ART APPRECIATION

Jean-Paul Sartre, a famous

French philosopher of the
twentieth century, described the
role of art as a creative work that
depicts the world in a completely
different light and perspective,
and the source is due to human
freedom (Greene, 1995).

06
ART APPRECIATION

Each artwork beholds beauty of its own kind, the kind that
the artist sees and wants the viewers to perceive. More
often than not, people are blind to this beauty and only
those who have developed a fine sense of appreciation
can experience and see the art the same way the artist
did.

07
ART APPRECIATION

Because of this, numerous artworks go unnoticed, artists

are not given enough credit, and they miss opportunities.
It sometimes takes a lifetime before their contribution to
the development of art is recognized. Hence, refining
one's ability to appreciate art allows him to deeply
understand the purpose of an artwork and recognize the
beauty it possesses (Collins & Riley, 1931)

08
ART APPRECIATION

In cultivating an appreciation of art, one should also

exercise and develop his taste for things that are fine and
beautiful.

09
ART APPRECIATION

Frequenting museums, art galleries, performing arts

theaters, concert halls, or even malls that display art
exhibitions that are free in admission during leisure time
will not only develop an understanding of the art, but will
also serve as a rewarding experience. Learning to
appreciate art, no matter what vocation or profession you
have, will lead to a fuller and more meaningful life (Collins
& Riley, 1931)

The Role of Creativity in Art Making

11
ART APPRECIATION

In art, creativity is what sets apart

one artwork from another. We say
something is done creatively when we
have not yet seen anything like it or
when it is out of the ordinary.

12
ART APPRECIATION

a creative artist does not Imitate the

lines, flaws, colors, and patterns in
creating nature. He embraces
originality, puts his own flavor into
his work, and calls it his own
masterpiece.

13
ART APPRECIATION

being creative nowadays can be quite

challenging. What you thought was your
own unique and creative idea may not what
it seems to be after extensive research and
knowing that the idea has been
coincidentally devised before by someone
else in another part of the world.

“Imagination is more
important than
knowledge”

17
ART APPRECIATION

Where do you think famous

writers, painters, and musicians
get their ideas from?

Where do ideas in making

creative solutions begin?
18
ART APPRECIATION

It all starts in the human mind.

19
ART APPRECIATION

German physicist Albert Einstein who had made significant and major
contributions in science and humanity demonstrates that knowledge is
actually derived from imagination. He emphasizes this idea through his
words.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is

limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination
embraces the entire world, and all world, and all there ever will be to
know and understand.

20
ART APPRECIATION

Imagination is not constrained by the walls of the norm,

but goes beyond that. That is why people rely on
curiosity and imagination for advancement. Through
imagination, one is able to craft something bold,
something new, and something better allows endless
possibilities.

21
ART APPRECIATION

In the same way that imagination produces art, art also inspires imagination.
Imagine being an empty room surrounded by blank, while walls and floor. Would you
be inspired to work in such a place? Often times you will find coffee shops,
restaurants, libraries with paintings hung or sculptures and other pieces of art placed
around the room to add beauty to the surroundings. This craving and desire to be
surrounded by beautiful things dates back to our early ancestors (Collins and Riley
1931, 5). Cave walls are surrounded by drawings and paintings of animals they
hunted: wild boars, reindeers, and bison (Figure 3). Clays were molded and stones
were carved into forms that resemble men and women; burial jars were created with
intricate designs on them, but also because beauty gave them joy (Collins and
Riley 1931, 4).

Art as Expression

23
ART APPRECIATION

Robin George Collingwood, an English philosopher who is

best known for his work in aesthetics, explicated in his
publication The Principles of Art (1938) that what an artist
does to an emotion is not to induce it, but express it.
Through expression, he is able to explore his own
emotions and at the same time, create something
beautiful out of them.

25
ART APPRECIATION

Description actually destroys the idea of expression,

as it classifies the emotion, making it ordinary and
predictable.

Expression, on the other hand, individualizes. An

artist has the freedom to express himself the way he
wants to.
