    • Records of human experiences, values, sentiments, ideas, and goals.
    • Expressions of human feelings and thoughts.

    Humanities vs Social Sciences

    • Humanities: Focus on the individual, internal world, and subjective nature of study.
    • Social Sciences: Focus on types and groups of people, institutions, and processes of society, with a scientific and objective approach.

    Historical Development of Humanities

    • Ancient Period: Writings about moral teachings by Latin writers and philosophers.
    • Medieval Period (12th-14th Centuries): Focus on metaphysics and religious things (scholasticism) for spiritual life and preparations for the afterlife.
    • Renaissance Period (15th-18th Centuries): Humanities were disciplines in schools and universities that focused on the intrinsic value of human life on earth, including Greek literatures, fine arts, music, history, theology, philosophy, and rhetoric.
    • Modern/Contemporary: Rise of sciences (social sciences) affected the development of humanities as a free and encompassing discipline.

    Arts

    • Definition: One of the oldest and most important means of expressions developed by people.
    • Functions: To find meaning, serve a utilitarian purpose, and be capable of serving the purpose for which it was designed.
    • Social Functions: Influence collective behavior or people for a cause.
    • Physical Functions: Many works of art were primarily made to perform certain functions to make our lives comfortable.
    • Two Schools of Thought:
      • Arts for the sake of arts (aesthetics and individual satisfaction).
      • Arts as a medium or instrument of social change (depicting social realities and advocating for change or reforms).

    The Subject of Art

    • Varied and can refer to any person, object, scene, or representation in a work of art.
    • Representational Art: Arts that have subjects, e.g., painting, sculpture, graphic arts, literature, and theatre.
    • Non-Representational Art: Arts that do not have subjects, e.g., music, architecture, and functional arts.

    Ways of Presenting the Subject

    • Realism: Depicting objects as they appear in nature.
    • Abstraction: Simplifying and reorganizing objects and elements according to the artist's creative expression.
    • Distortion: Twisting, stretching, or deforming the natural form and shape of an object to create an emotional effect.
    • Surrealism: Combining realism and distortion.

    Medium

    • Definition: The means by which an artist communicates his/her ideas.
    • Materials used to translate feelings or thoughts into a beautiful reality.
    • Classifications:
      • Visual Arts (Space Arts): Mediums that can be seen or occupy space.
      • Auditory Arts (Time Arts): Mediums that can be heard and are expressed in time.
      • Combined Arts (Performing Arts): Mediums that can be both heard and seen and exist both in space and time.
