CREATIVITY, IMAGINATION, AND EXPRESSION

 “ART IS A PRODUCT OF MAN’S CREATIVITY, IMAGINATION, AND EXPRESSION.”

• It takes an artist to make art.

• One may perceive beauty on a daily basis.
• not every beautiful thing that can be seen or experienced may truly be called a work of art.
• Not everyone can be considered an artist, but all are spectators of art.
• We are able to distinguish what is fine and beautiful from what is not and what is good
quality and from poor.
• This gives us a role in the field of art appreciation.
 ART APPRECIATION AS A WAY OF LIFE

• The role of art as a creative work is to depict the world in a completely different light and
perspective” – Jean-Paul Sartre

• Each artwork beholds beauty in 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 way the artist did. Hence, refining
one’s ability to appreciate arts allows him to deeply understand the purpose of an artwork and
recognize the beauty it possesses.

• Learning to appreciate art no matter what vocation or profession you have, will lead to a
fuller and more meaningful life.
THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN ART MAKING

 When it is out of the ordinary
 When it is not just a copy or imitation of someone’s work …
 THERE IS ORIGINALITY!

all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire
world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein

• Through imagination, one is able to craft something bold, something new, and something better in the
hopes of creating something that will stimulate change.

something that is imaginary.

gives birth to reality through creation. In the same way that imagination produces art, art also inspires
imagination. IMAGINATION ART

reflection of their inner selves.
