 ART IS NOT NATURE
• It is made by humans as expression of their
reception or interpretation about nature (Caslib et.
al., 2017).
• One’s reception about nature may include
DISTORTION, MODIFICATION, or
ALTERATION of the reality to satisfy his creative
imagination that is influenced by nature.
 ART IS NOT NATURE
• Art is made by man, whereas nature is God-given
creation that is around us.
• It is not directed by representation of reality, rather
it is the perception of reality.
• Art has its reason why the artist made it. “What is
it that he wants to show?”
 ART INVOLVES EXPERIENCE
• It depicts the actual doing of something
(CASLIB et. al, 2001).
• “All art depends on experience, and if one is
to know it not as fact or information but as
experience.”
