Study Notes

Humanities and Sciences

Humanities study the human experience, processing and recording thoughts, beliefs, and longings.
Humanities focus on the internal world of a person's emotions, aspirations, and opinions.
Sciences focus on the external world, studying what we see and all the processes that happen within it.
Sciences are objective, based on facts, while humanities are subjective, based on emotions and personal experiences.

Art

Art is derived from the Latin word "Artem," meaning skill, art, and craft.
Art expresses human skills and imagination through the creations of aesthetic objects and presentations.
Art is not limited to what we see, but encompasses wider expressions.

Principles of Design

Harmony/Unity: The pleasing arrangement of parts, creating a sense of wholeness in the design.
Balance: Visual weight of the elements, creating a sense of equilibrium.
Proportion: Relationship between the sizes of elements, creating visual harmony.
Contrast: Difference between elements, creating visual interest and emphasis.
Rhythm/Movement: Repetition of elements, creating a sense of motion and flow.
Value: Degree of lightness and darkness in a color, with tints being lighter and shades being darker.
Texture: Surface of an artwork, appealing to our sense of feeling. This can be actual (tactile) or simulated (illusory).
Emphasis and Subordination: Emphasis gives importance to specific elements, while subordination makes others less prominent.

Focus, Content, and Context

Form: The surface feature of an artwork, what we visually perceive.
Content: The meaning and substance of the artwork, what it is about.
Context: The various situations and the surrounding environment that influence the creation and interpretation of the artwork.

Types of Context

- **Primary Context**:  The artist's sentiments, including their beliefs, values, interests, emotions, and personal style.   
- **Secondary Context**:  The social, political, economic environment and the historical period in which the artwork was created.

Contemporary Art vs. Modern Art

Contemporary art reflects the present period and mirrors contemporary culture and society.
Contemporary art is diverse, encompassing emerging art practices.
Modern art dates back to the 1970s.
Modern art is often characterized by a focus on social injustice and a "less is more" aesthetic.

Integrated Contemporary Art Forms

Ballet: Integrates dance and music.
Choreography: Often accompanied by music, involving a series of planned movements.

National Art Centers

National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA): Established in 1992, it is the main organizational body for art development and promotes artistic freedom.
