 Lesson 1: Clearing the Space: The Study of
the Humanities
Different Concepts of HUMANITIES:
Human was first recorded in the mid 13th century, and
owes its existence to the Middle French humain “of or
belonging to man.” That word, in turn, comes from the
Latin humanus, thought to be a hybrid relative
of homo, meaning “man,” and humus, meaning
“earth.” Thus, a human, unlike birds, planes, or even
divine spirits up above, is a man firmly rooted to the
earth.

 HUMUNUS is a Latin word that means "human.“ it
denotes polished human being cultured and deserving
of respect man.

concepts of art! ➢Art is man’s way of expressing his/her ideas
and feelings through his/her creations in non-
➢The arts constitute one of the oldest and most geographic expression. (Ferraro, 2008)
important means of expressions developed by
man/woman.
➢ Art is made by man, no matter how close it is to
nature; although each work of art is evidently the
expression of an artist’s personal thoughts and
feelings, it may be inferred that, like any other
individual, he/she belongs to a nuclear, and he/she
can not free himself/herself from the influence of
his/her social, economic, political, cultural,
geographic , scientific, and technical environment
– these factors undoubtedly affect his/her creative
expressions. (Zulueta, 2006)

Page 9 Page 10
 We have 5 Classification of art
➢Ferraro contends that art could be:
1. Visual Arts and Space Arts
The visual arts are art forms that create works that are
1. A creation of man or any non-graphic expression primarily visual in nature
of man that appeals to man’s/woman’s taste or
sense of beauty; The use of employment of
things to answer some special need.
2. The special skill required but hose who practice
fine arts.
3. A way or means of communicating ideas
through sensors mediums.

2. The Arts and the Auditory Arts
The Arts and the Auditory Arts includes music in all its forms
but not song, opera, and those arts that combine music with
literature. It is an forms of arts that require the use of time
and duration such as reading, dancing, and singing.

3. Major Arts.
These are fields that have reached their golden years of
development, the highest peak of development, especially

Page 14
 4. Creative Arts. 5. Performing Arts.

These require man’s/woman’s creation or intervention of
objects in two or three-dimensional mediums like painting,
sculpture and architecture.
The performing arts is a collective term for arts performed in
front of an audience. They primarily focus on dance, drama,
music and theatre. This means there's often overlap with the
film and media industries. These require man’s/woman’s way of
expression.

According to (Ang, 2018) Beauty is within one’s
perspective, it is the perfection in terms of symmetry
and balance, when something is pleasurable and exudes
happiness..
Beauty is being confident with a heart.
(Wurtzbach, 2015)
Beautiful things are things in order, things with precision,
purpose and proportion; likewise; there are no mistakes in
beautiful things – everything is appropriate, interesting,
relevant and perfect. (Zulueta, 2006)
The different views on beauty is attributed to the many
expectations of man, including those standards found
in his/her culture and those that must be fulfilled
within his culture; others are of the opinion that this is
divergence largely depends on the philosophy held by
man, which shapes their mental attitude affecting
his/her views of life. (Ferraro, 2008)

Neck rings, metal coils put around the neck to look like

Kayan Lahwi tribe. When girls are about 5 years old, they

used by the Kayan people as a sign of ideal beauty: an
