Study Notes
Art: Its Meaning and Importance
- Art is integral to human society, present across every generation and culture.
- Functions of art include expression, communication, and as an aesthetic experience.
- Creation involves combining existing materials to form new objects, focusing on sensory delight and beauty.
Nature of Art
- Art encompasses a range of experiences: the artist's intention, the act of expression, and emotional responses from the audience.
- The relationship between art and nature highlights that while nature inspires, art itself is a deliberate human creation.
- The concept of beauty in art is relative, influenced by cultural and societal contexts over time.
Subject of Art
- The subject in art refers to any entity depicted within a work, such as people, objects, or events.
- Art can be classified as representational (easily recognizable subjects) or non-representational (abstract and lacking direct references to reality).
- Representational arts include painting, sculpture, literature, and theater, while non-representational arts rely on sensory appeal without specific representation.
Ways of Representing Subjects
- Artistic expression varies significantly; common methods include realism, abstraction, distortion, and surrealism.
- Realism manipulates details to create a likeness, while abstraction simplifies forms for artistic expression.
- Distortion alters proportions for emotional effects, and surrealism combines recognizable images in dream-like scenarios.
The Artist's Choice of Subject
- Artists draw from a broad spectrum of topics, often reflecting personal experiences or societal conditions.
- Choices of subject matter can be influenced by time period, audience, and cultural values.
