ASSUMPTION
S OF THE ART
Art has been created by all people at
all times, in all countries and it lives
because its well-liked and enjoyed
Artinvolves experience; there can
never be appreciation of art without
experience.
 Art is not nature; Nature
is not art.
 Artis made by man;
 Art is everywhere.
 Art is man’s oldest means of expression;
 Art as a means of expression & communication.

HIEROGLYPHICS
 “The humanities constitute one of the oldest and most important
means of expression developed by man”. Human history has
witnessed how man evolved not just physically but also
culturally, from cave painters to men of exquisite paintbrush
users of the present. Even if one goes back to the time before
written records of man’s civilization has appeared, he can find
cases of man’s attempts of not just crafting tools to live and
survive but also expressing his feelings and thoughts. The
Galloping Wild Boar found in the cave of Altamira, Spain is
one such example. In 1879, a Spaniard and his daughter were
exploring a cave when they saw pictures of a wild boar, hind,
and bison.

 PREHISTORIC PAINTINGS
According to experts, these paintings were
purported to belong to Upper Paleolithic
Age, several thousands of years before the
current era. Pre-historic men, with their
crude instruments, already showcased and
manifested earliest attempts at recording
man’s innermost interests, preoccupations,
and thoughts.
 The humanities, then, ironically, have started
even before the term has been coined. Human
persons have long been exercising what it
means to be a human long before he was even
aware of his being one. The humanities stand
tall in bearing witness to this magnificent
phenomenon. Any human person, then, is
tasked to participate, if not, totally partake in
this long tradition of humanizing himself.
CHIAROSCURO IS A METHOD
FOR APPLYING VALUE TO A
TWO-DIMENSIONAL PIECE
OF ARTWORK TO CREATE THE
ILLUSION OF A THREE-
DIMENSIONAL SOLID FORM.
CHIAROSCURO
The term is derived from the Italian chiaro ("light” or
“bright”) and oscuro ("dark") and generally refers to a
technique that contrasts bright illumination with areas of
dense shadow.
This way of working was
devised during the Italian
Renaissance in the 16th
century and was used by
artists such as Leonardo
da Vinci and later,
Vermeer.
Chiaroscuro is seldom

"Benois Madonna," Leonardo da Vinci, c. 1478
About his technique, he said: I would remind
you O Painter! To dress your figures in the
lightest colors you can, since, if you put them
in dark colors, they will be in too slight relief
and inconspicuous from a distance. And this
is because the shadows of all objects are
dark. And if you make a dress dark there is
little variety between the lights and shadows,
while in light colors there will be greater
variety.
