Unending questions and wild curiosity drives a person to examine and look into the real meaning of a certain thing. What do these things mean and what are their functions that could benefit man? What is the real meaning of the world and assumptions that surrounds it? Do they really meant for humans? Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to: A. Clarify the different basic assumptions about art ; B. Characterize the different assumptions and functions of art; C. Explain the importance of different functions of the art around us.  BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF ART ❑ Art has been created by all people at all times, in all countries and it lives because it is well-liked and enjoyed. ❑ Art involves experience; there can never be appreciation of art without experience. ❑ Art is everywhere. ❑Art is man oldest mean of expression. ❑Art as an expression and communication. NATURE OF ART  The essential nature of art is meant to portray the daily lives of the people in that culture. It shows what the people think is important, beautiful, and valid. It expresses the emotions that the artists feel, and it provides decoration through his medium. Here are some facts about art: Art is universal- arts regardless of origin, time, and place are liked and enjoyed by people continuously. Art is not nature- art is made by man, whereas nature is given around us. Art involves experience- “all arts depend on experience, and if one is to know art, he must know it not as fact or information but as experience” Here are some facts about art: ❖ Art is cultural- the sensitivity and imagination of an artist is what can make a culture. ❖ Art is an expression of the mind ❖ Art is a form of creativity FUNCTIONS OF ART Personal Function Arts are vehicles for the artists' expression of their feelings and ideas. The arts also serve as means of expression for us. Satisfying individual needs for personal expression. For personal expression of the artist’s ideas and feelings. To educate our senses and sharpen our perception of colors, forms, textures, etc. in our environment. For fresh insights into nature and human nature for greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Edward Munch's “The sick child” Social Functions Arts could be social needs for display, celebration and communication. One cannot conceive of a society. It seeks to influence the collective behavior of people. It is created to be seen or used primarily in public situations. It expresses or describes social or collective of existence as opposed to individual and personal kinds of experiences. Eugene Delacroix “Liberty leading the People” Physical Functions Our physical needs for utilitarian objects and structure. Art that has a physical function usually relates to items that can be used for a practical purpose because of their physical structure, despite their artistic appeal. The need for beauty in functional objects for everyday use (Form and function: the function of an object generally determines the basic form that it takes). The need for aesthetic design of a building is determined primarily by its operational function. Planning of communities according to environmental and operational efficiency.
