Etymology: The term “art” is related to the Latin word “ars” meaning, art, skill, or craft. The first known use of the word comes from 13th-century manuscripts. However, the word art and its many variants (artem, eart, etc.) have probably existed since the founding of Rome (Marder, 2019).  DEFINITION OF ART Art can be thought of as a symbol of what it means to be human, manifested in physical form for others to see and interpret. It can serve as a symbol for something that is tangible, or for a thought, an emotion, a feeling, or a concept. Through peaceful means, it can convey the full spectrum of the human experience. Perhaps that is why it is so important  DEFINITION OF ART APPRECIATION Deborah Gustlin & Zoe Gustlin states that art appreciation centers on the ability to view art throughout history, focusing on the cultures and the people, and how art developed in specific periods.

The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso. Oil. 1.23m x 83 cm. 1903/04.  AESTHETICS Is the philosophical argument about the nature of beauty. It’s an idea central to any exploration of art. Aesthetics deals with notions of taste, cultural conventions – ideas of art being ‘good’ and ‘bad’ based on specific cultural information and beliefs and the judgments we make based on our perceptions. As deep as visual art is embedded in the fabric of our lives, it still is the source of controversy and irony. It thrives on common experience yet contradicts ideas of ourselves. Art is part of the culture it’s created in, but can reflect many cultures at once.  PHILOSOPHERS IN ART PLATO ARISTOTLE IMANNUEL KANT -ART AS MIMESIS ART IS Art as a kind of REPRESENTATION representation that is purposive in itself.  PHILOSOPHERS IN ART LEO TOLSTOY of emotion Art as communication Promote mutual understanding Gaining awareness of each other’s feelings.
