What is the subject matter? 2. What does the artwork depict or represent? 3. What message is it attempting to convey? 4. Who is the creator of this piece? 5. What insights can we glean about the artist's character? 6. What relevance or importance does this work hold? 7. What personal value does it possess for me? 8. How do I respond emotionally to the piece? 9. What is the nature and structure of the composition? 10. What expressive elements have been utilized to convey the work's meaning? 11. How are these elements combined and integrated to articulate this meaning? 12. What principles govern the integration of these expressive elements? 13. Does the application of these principles affect the overall coherence of the expressive elements? These four relationships of a work of art are the bases for the four principal approaches to art criticism and appreciation. These four approaches are: 1. Mimetic (based on the subject matter) Your judgement on art 2. Expressive (based on the artist) 3. Pragmatic (based on the audience) 4. Aesthetic or formal (based on the form) Subject Matter "Art is an imitation of an imitation of reality"... Plato, Greek, philosopher "Art is a reflection or a mirror of reality." Aristotle, Greek philosopher With respect to subject matter, art is an imitation, depiction or representation of some aspect of nature or life. That which is imitated, depicted or represented in art is its subject matter. Anything in the universe may serve as the subject of art : aspects of nature such as the sea, the sky, fields, forests, mountains, animals, etc., (often depicted in paintings), human concerns in the realm of the experience, action and deed (as recounted in fiction, narrative poetry and the drama), and emotions and moods(lyric poetry) and ideas (the essay), spatial forms (sculpture and architecture), tonal forms (music) and plastic forms in motion, in space and time (dance). Art may be classified into two types: 1. Representational or objective art portrays or depicts something other than Its own form. Examples are Venus de Milo, Juan Luna's Spolarium, Da Vinci's Monalisa, Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake. Literature is principally representational. 2.Non-representational or non-objective art represents nothing except its own form. Examples: the Pyramids of Egypt, Mondrian's non- figurative paintings, the symphonies of Mozart. Among the major arts, architecture is most nearly always non-objective. In non-objective art,subject matter and form are one. Various Sources of Art's Subject The term subjects in art refers to the main idea that is represented in the artwork. The subject in art is basically the essence of the piece. To determine subject matter in a particular piece of art, ask yourself: What is actually depicted in this artwork? What is the artist trying to express to the world? What is his or her message? And how are they conveying that message? Main subjects that artist have been exploring for centuries. 1.Religion, Mythology, Legend and Folklore. Religious art or sacred art is artistic imagery using religious inspiration and motifs and is often intended to uplift the mind to the spiritual. Sacred art involves the ritual and cultic practices and practical and operative aspects of the path of the spiritual realization within the artist's religious tradition. 2.History Early Christian art survives from dates near the origins of Christianity. The oldest surviving Christian paintings are from the site at Megiddo, dated to around the year 70, and the oldest Christian sculptures are from sarcophagi, dating to the beginning of the 2nd century. Until the adoption of Christianity by Constantine, Christian art derived its style and much of its iconography from popular Roman art, but from this point grand Christian buildings built under imperial patronage brought a need for Christian versions of Roman elite and official art, of which mosaics in churches in Rome are the most prominent surviving examples. 3.Nature It is focused view or interpretation of specific natural elements The natural has always been the sources of popular objects the painter observation of communion with nature is always a convenient and ever available throughout the ages. 4.Animals An image of a particular person or animal, or group thereof most primitive paintings and sculpture are about animals either graceful moment or brute of certain animals attract and inspire painters, Animal the symbolize beauty, courage, peace, strength loyalty and intelligence are still of modern dad art and advertising. 5.Abstract A non-representational work of art. 6.Everyday life or genre A Mexican holiday with a vibrant artistic tradition.
