ART APPRECIATION  WHAT IS ART? Art as a term is taken from the Italian word artis, which means craftsmanship, skill, mastery of form, inventiveness and the association that exist between form and ideas between material and techniques. From the Aryan root ar, this means to join or put together; from the Greek words artezein, which means to prepare, and arkiskein, meaning to put together.  In addition, Art is derived from Latin word ars, meaning ability or skill. (J.V. Estolas) According to Plato,”Art is that which brings life in harmony with the beauty of the world.” While for F. Zulueta, “Art is the product of man’s need to express himself.” And for John Dewey, “Art is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind-one which demand for each own satisfaction and fulfilling, a shaping of matter to new and more significant form.” ART  WHAT IS ART APPRECIATION? It is the ability to interpret or understand man-made arts and enjoy them either through actual and work-experience with art tools and materials or possession of these works of art for one’s admiration and satisfaction. It also centers on the ability to view art throughout history, focusing on the cultures and the people, and how art developed in the specific periods. Thus, it is difficult to understand the art without understanding the culture because the connections to the context of art and the interaction of societies help us to analyze and appreciate a piece of art.  WHAT ARE THE NATURES OF ART? 1.
