Discuss the following

1. Humanities - It all comes down to being human. It's all about how we got to
where we are now. It's about how and why we communicate and interact,
how we think about our place in the universe and our interactions with gods
and mankind, and how we think and have thought about our place in the
cosmos. It's about language's structure and how we understand and
misunderstand it. It all comes down to how we think and see things. It's
about what it means to be a member of a society and how that has evolved
over time. It's all about what it means to be human, in a nutshell.
2. Principle of art - Color, value, lines, shapes, and forms are the visual aspects
of art. They are the primary building blocks of visual art. Each element has
the ability to influence our emotions, and when combined, all elements can
build a magnificent expressive language. It is this ability that distinguishes
one artist from another, as well as one work of art from another. It is the
artist's creative genius to bring all of these aspects together in perfect
balance, harmony, and rhythm. These are some of the principles of art. The
talent of evoking certain feelings in the spectator by combining the
components and principles of art in one piece of artwork is the skill of
evoking certain emotions in the viewer by combining the elements and
principles of art in one piece of artwork.
3. Visual - The term "visual art" can be defined in a variety of ways. It is stated
that any human production is art. A work of art is something that provides
you visual pleasure. Art cannot be defined solely in terms of language. It's
more than that. Art is beautiful, and it also has the ability to influence your
emotions. After seeing a piece of artwork, you may feel happy or deeply
moved. It all depends on the artist and what he wants to convey.
4. Architecture- Architecture, is the art of creating, not only the built forms but
also the surroundings. You feel supreme since you are in charge of creating
a space, which will depict emotions, be comfortable, and pleasant. It is a
really creative field, where one can make plenty of models, play with form
and functions, visit numerous places and learn so many things every time,
and sketch and draft for hours altogether.
5. Art appreciation - “Art appreciation is the knowledge and understanding of
the universal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. The more you
 appreciate and understand the art of different eras, movements, styles and
techniques, the better you can develop, evaluate and improve your own
artwork.” Art Appreciation is simply the process of learning how to look at
and understand the visual arts. It is not about the history of the art, nor is it
about the critique of it. It is not about liking or not liking the art.
6. Portrait - A portrait is a painting, picture, sculpture, or other creative
depiction of a person in which the face and its expressions take center stage,
however the body will take up more area in a full-length portrait. A portrait
of a person is a visual portrayal of that individual's attributes, character,
personality traits, physical appearance, and stage in life. The goal is to
convey the person's image, personality, and even mood.
7. Abstract – The formal principle of form and substance, which are the two
metaphysical concepts required to comprehend reality, is at least largely or
frequently represented by the abstract. This is where the term "information"
originates from. So, when you observe a group of items and recognize them
as "human beings," your brain has abstracted the objects' "shape" or nature.
8. Sculpture- Sculpture has several meanings. However, in a larger sense, it
refers to a form of art. It is the art of shaping, carving, and molding hard or
plastic materials into three-dimensional structures. 'A raised or sunken
patterns or texture on the surface of a shell, pollen grain, cuticle, or other
biological material,' according to Zoology.
9. Gallery - A gallery is a section of a structure that is often long and narrow,
and serves a specific purpose. You can go to an art gallery to look at the
paintings on the walls. There are several types of galleries, but the most
common is a section of a house or structure that is unusually long and
narrow. A gallery has a purpose as well: at a theater, it is a space where
additional seats may be found. A gallery is a place where art is shown and
sold. Art galleries might be a single room, a sequence of rooms, or a whole
complex dedicated to art.

Long quiz

1. Humanities - Humanities is concerned with the study of the human

condition. In contrast to the empirical methodologies of the natural sciences,
 it employs qualitative methods that are generally analytical, critical, or
speculative. Humanity is also the study of many cultural characteristics; it
examines human weaknesses and how they might be addressed. Speech,
knowledge, ideas, arts, technology, values, and regulations are all examples
of cultural characteristics. It investigates and prescribes the sort of behavior
that is regarded proper for an individual in his or her endeavors to acquire
the position of being a cultured human being, with an emphasis on these
qualities. A sophisticated and well-versed individual in the arts, philosophy,
and languages is typically thought of as a cultured person. The study of
humanities also analyzes essential human behaviors, attitudes, ambitions,
and opinions through the arts such as painting, sculpture, architecture,
music, dance, literature, theatre, and film.

2. The branches of humanities - Languages, the arts, literature, philosophy,

religion, and history are examples of humanities branches. The study of how
individuals communicate in various speaking nations falls under this
category of humanities. Individuals gain a feeling of culture since they are
likely to be taught about the history and origins of the languages they are
learning. Theater, music, art, and cinema are examples of the arts. These
courses, in particular, stimulate personal interpretation and analysis because
they are all forms of self-expression. Fine arts courses fall into this category
as well, although they concentrate on historical art forms and their
beginnings. This field of humanities includes the study of how people
interact in different languages. People develop a sense of culture as a result
of being educated about the history and origins of the languages they are
studying. The arts include theater, music, art, and film. Because they are all
means of self-expression, these courses in particular inspire personal
interpretation and analysis. Fine arts courses are also included in this
category, albeit they focus on historical art forms and their origins.
3. Comparison between Performing Art & Practical Art - Performing arts is a
type of art in which artists express themselves via their voices or bodies,
typically in conjunction with other things. Performance art is a type of art
that is exhibited "live," generally by the artist but occasionally with the help
of collaborators or performers. Indeed, when artists have grown dissatisfied
with traditional forms of art, such as painting and traditional types of
 sculpting, they have frequently resorted to performance to revitalize their
work. Body art is a term used to describe performance art from this time
period that focuses on the body. This represents the so-called
"dematerialization of the art object" during this time period, as well as a
move away from traditional media. Practical art is a regular or material
need-satisfying art (such as woodworking) —usually used in plural. The
practical arts are an excellent vehicle for instilling a wide range of life skills,
including persistence, numeracy, historical awareness, and accountability.
4. Illustrate the History & development of art – The history of art is sometimes
presented as a timeline of masterpieces made by each culture. As a result, it
might be presented as a tale of high culture, exemplified by the Seven
Wonders of the World. On the other hand, vernacular art manifestations,
often known as folk arts or craft, can be incorporated into art historical
narratives. The closer an art historian works with these latter types of low
culture, the more likely their work will be classified as analyzing visual or
material culture, or as contributing to areas connected to art history, such as
anthropology or archaeology. Artifacts may be referred to as archeological
artifacts in the latter situation. Art that copied ancient Greek and Roman art
(classical antiquity art) was thought to possess a timeless perfection at the
time. Art historians studied the merits of the so-called fine arts, such as
painting, sculpture, and architecture. However, both art and art history have
changed dramatically during the last century and a half. Artists abandoned
the classical tradition in favor of new media and aesthetic standards, while
art historians switched their attention from formal beauty analysis to cultural
interpretation. Today, we think of beauty as a cultural construct that changes
through time and geography. While most art is still predominantly visual,
and visual analysis is still an important tool for art historians, beauty is no
longer seen as a necessary feature of art.
5. History of arts - The study of art history, also known as art historiography, is
concerned with identifying, classifying, describing, evaluating, interpreting,
and understanding the art products and historic development of the fields of
painting, sculpture, architecture, the decorative arts, drawing, printmaking,
photography, interior design, and other visual arts. There are two main
issues in art historical study. The first is (1) to determine who made a
particular art object (attribution), (2) to authenticate an art object by
 determining whether it was made by the artist to whom it is traditionally
attributed, (3) to determine at what stage in a culture's development or in an
artist's career the object in question was made, (4) to assess the influence of
one artist on subsequent ones in the historical past, and (5) to collect
biographical data on artists and documentation (provability). The
understanding of the stylistic and formal development of artistic traditions
on a large scale and within a broad historical perspective is the second
primary concern of art historical research; this primarily entails the
enumeration and analysis of the various artistic styles, periods, movements,
and schools of the past. Iconography (q.v.) is the study of symbols, themes,
and subject matter in the visual arts, notably the significance of religious
symbolism in Christian art, and it is included in art history.
6. Elements of painting –
A line is a space-based stroke. A line can be drawn vertically, horizontally,
or curved and comes in various lengths. The foundation of each drawing is
the line.

A closed line with limits is referred to as a shape. Shapes aren't limited to

circles and triangles; they may also take on abstract shapes.

To generate depth, form is a mix of shape and line. The illusion of three
dimensions is created through form.

The appearance of something's value is determined by how bright or dark it

seems. When it comes to shading and highlighting, value is crucial. The
connection between bright and dark values is called contrast. There is a
significant concentration of contrast when there are very bright and very
dark regions. There is minimal contrast if the values are mostly grey and the
lightest vs. darkest isn't too distinct.

The texture of a drawing refers to how rough or smooth it appears on the

surface. Rarely does the texture of an artwork feel like the texture. It's more
of a deception that the sketched item appears to have this tactile
characteristic.
 Hue, value, and intensity are the three qualities of color. There are also main
and secondary colors to consider. The major colors are red, yellow, and blue,
while the secondary colors are orange, green, and purple. The color wheel
may be studied to determine how these colors interact with one another
(complementary colors are opposite one another, analogous colors are next
to one another).

Space relates to perspective in three-dimensional art, which is the illusion of

depth. Elements of perspective and space include foreground and backdrop.
In general, space and perspective refer to the overall arrangement of the art
piece.
7. Style of painting - The appearance of the artwork is described by the art
style. The artist's style is essentially how he or she depicts his or her subject
matter and displays his or her vision. The characteristics that describe the
artwork, such as the artist's use of form, color, and composition, to name a
few, determine style. Examining the artist's handling of the medium, as well
as the approach or technique that the artist employs, is another key
component in establishing the style of an artwork. The concept or driving
force behind the artwork is another part of art styles. The decisions artists
make when they construct their artwork define all of these aesthetic
qualities. A style is defined as a group of works that share specific
characteristics. This can indicate that they are part of the same movement,
although that is not always the case. In art, "movements" are generally
associated with a certain period (and, in some cases, a specific location) in
history. For example, several painters now continue to paint in the
Impressionist style, embracing the ideals that characterized Impressionism in
the nineteenth century. They are not, however, part of the original
"Impressionist movement" in the sense that it existed in historical terms,
because they are modern artists who are inspired by the Impressionists.
Although art styles might be revived from the past, the movement itself
remains rooted in its original place on the chronology of art history. Artists
work in a variety of genres. Artists used to be required to make paintings in
whatever fashionable style existed at the moment. Artists now have a lot
more flexibility to create as they want. While working in a range of styles is
entirely acceptable, it is often advisable to concentrate on the one(s) you
 enjoy the most in order to fully realize your artistic potential within that
style. Experimenting with numerous styles is fun, but if you really want to
grow as an artist, you should focus on one or two techniques that you
believe truly allows you to express your inner vision. Some examples of art
styles are photorealism, abstract, whimsical and composite.

Reflection Paper

1. The challenge in obtaining access to art in terms of subject and content

comes from the fact that art is so important in and of itself. Art is not as
simple to explain as what others believe. In every creative form, it has a
deep meaning. Even the subject of the painting, as well as the essence of
why it is called art, has a deep meaning.
2. Nature, religious connections, and history can all be used as inspiration for
artists. They get their inspiration from what they know and from current art,
which is why they go to nature, religious connections, and history. The issue
should be something you are actually interested in and engaged in, not just
something that piqued your interest for a few minutes in a newspaper or on
TV. Before deciding to make a fresh story or idea the topic of a work of art,
give it some thought.
3. Francesco del Giocondo's wife, Mona Lisa, is also known as La Gioconda.
This picture is done in oil on canvas. The original painting, which measures
77 x 53 cm (30 x 20 7/8 in), is owned by the French government and hangs
in the Louvre in Paris, France. This figure of a woman, dressed in the
 Florentine manner of the day and seated in a dreamlike, mountainous scene,
is a stunning example of Leonardo's sfumato modeling method, which
involves soft, deeply shaded modeling. The Mona Lisa's mysterious
expression, which is both seductive and aloof, has earned the painting
worldwide acclaim. The renowned smile of the Mona Lisa symbolizes the
sitter in the same way that the juniper branches in Ginevra Benci's painting
in Washington and the ermine in Cecilia Gallerani's portrait in Krakow do.
It's a visual representation of the Italian word "gioconda," which means
"happiness." This idea of happiness became the major element of Leonardo's
portrait, and it is this idea that makes the piece so ideal. The landscape's
natural beauty also plays a part. Leonardo was one of the first painters to use
aerial perspective, and the work was one of the first portraits to represent the
sitter in front of an artificial landscape. The mysterious woman looks to be
seated in an open loggia with black pillar bases on either side. A huge
countryside recedes behind her, giving way to cold mountains. The only
traces of human existence are winding trails and a distant bridge.

1. Comparing works of art from one time to others from the period before or
after aids in the discovery of the conventions and specialties that are
associated with that period. For example, during the Renaissance, artists
began to use oil paint with practically invisible brush traces, which gave the
works a lifelike appearance that had previously been lacking. Neoclassicism
 and Romanticism are two more art traditions that depict nationalism,
although in very different ways. A comparison between modern and
contemporary art is also possible. Both are revolutionary, but modern art
expresses individualism, whilst contemporary art is concerned with social
influence.

 Hatch lines
2. Actual lines are lines that are physically present, existing as solid
connections between one or more points, while implied lines refer to the
path that the viewer’s eye takes as it follows shape, color, and form
 within an art work. Implied lines give works of art a sense of motion and
keep the viewer engaged in a composition. We can see numerous implied
lines in Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii, connecting the
figures and actions of the piece by leading the eye of the viewer through
the unfolding drama.
3. The use of light and dark in art is called value. Value can be subdivided
into tint (light hues) and shade (dark hues). In painting, which uses
subtractive color, value changes are achieved by adding black or white to
a color. Artists may also employ shading, which refers to a more subtle
manipulation of value. The value scale is used to show the standard
variations in tones. Values near the lighter end of the spectrum are
termed high-keyed, while those on the darker end are low-keyed.

1. The term "additive color" refers to a situation in which color is formed by
combining visible light from several colored light sources. Subtractive
 colors, on the other hand, are created by subtracting light from various
regions of the visible spectrum.
2. Complementary colors are color combinations that. contrast more than any
other color and, when used together, make each other appear brighter.
3. Colors are classified as warm or cool based on how they make you feel
when you look at them. Sun and fire are represented by reds, yellows, and
oranges. As a result, they tend to exude a sense of coziness and warmth.
Cool hues, on the other hand, are associated with natural elements like grass
and water. These colors have a cold, refreshing sense to them, similar to the
outdoor spaces with which they are associated. A blend of warm and cold
colors will create a more clear contrast between the different colours and
provide a sense of harmony.
4. Color theory is both a science and a kind of art. It covers how people see
color as well as the visual consequences of colors mixing, matching, and
contrasting with one another. Color theory also includes the meanings that
colors convey as well as the ways for replicating color.
5. This is an Italian phrase that translates to 'light-dark.' The term "clear tonal
contrasts" refers to the employment of obvious tonal contrasts in paintings to
imply the volume and modeling of the subjects depicted. Leonardo da Vinci
and Caravaggio are two artists known for their use of chiaroscuro.

LEARNING ACTIVITY
1. Color evokes such strong emotions; artists utilize a wide range of colors
from all parts of the spectrum in his work. Considering a painting's
 overall color impression, I notice a dominating hue, or group of colors,
around which the picture is built. It conform the purpose of the artist.
2. I can’t say that I relate with the painting but I was amazed by the
painting.
3. We perceive the visual arts, which are art forms or works. Paintings,
drawings, photography, architecture, sculpture, crafts, cinema, and
printing are all examples of this genre. The phrase "visual arts" refers to a
broad area of art that encompasses various creative disciplines such as
performing arts, fine arts, decorative arts, contemporary arts, and applied
arts such as fashion design, interior design, industrial design, and graphic
design. Arts education has benefited pupils' learning from its introduction
in the elementary school curriculum. Visuals have a favorable influence
on students' behavior, engagement, creativity, and academic
achievement, according to conclusions based on a study of the relevant
research literature.
4. The terms object and artifact are commonly interchanged. Both phrases
allude to three-dimensional physical objects. Objects are real and have a
significant height, depth, and breadth. An artifact is a man-made, tangible
object that differs from an object. The term 'artifact' is frequently used to
differentiate three-dimensional materials from two-dimensional things
like papers. Artifacts, as primary sources, are a component of the
country's and historical period's material culture. They can provide solid,
palpable aspects to primary evidence that is based on text. When
examined in the context in which they were created, artifacts give both
direct and indirect evidence of time and location. They, like other forms
of primary sources, should be put to the test with inquiries like who made
the thing, why it was made, and so on. They reveal information about the
society in which it was made, including conventions, tastes, styles,
special events, work, and play.
