THROUGH THE
ARTS❧
Prepared by: Magmuyao, Michelle B.
What is Art?
A work of art is the visual expression of an idea or
experience formed with skill through the use of a medium.
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.

CREATIVITY

Imagination is more
important than knowledge.

-Albert Einstein
 What is creativity?
-the ability to bring forth something
new that has value.

-to come up with a new, unique,

original, surprising idea.
5 TRAITS THAT DEFINE CREATIVITY
1. Associating. The ability to make connections across seemingly
unrelated fields.
2. Questioning. Persistently challenging the status quo, asking
why things function as they do now, and how or why they
might be changed.
3. Observing. Intently watching the world around, without
judgment, in search of new insights or ways of operating.
4. Networking. Being willing to interact with others, and learn
from them, even if their views are radically different or their
competencies seem unrelated.
5. Experimenting. Exploring new possibilities by trying them out,
building models, and taking them apart for further
improvement.

 Looking And Seeing

Whether a work of art is representational, abstract,

or nonrepresentational, we access it primarily through
our eyes; thus we need to consider how we use them.

We can Look at a table and understand the function of

the table. When we get excited about the texture,
design, paint, etc.… then we are seeing the table at a
higher level of perception.
Form
• The total effect of the combined visual
qualities within a work, includes
components as materials, colors,
shape, line, and design

Content
•Refers to the message or meaning of the
work of art-what the artist expresses or
communicates to the viewer. Content
determines form and form expresses content
