This module contains learning materials and activities for the students to complete.

Concepts:

1. Loosely defined, the term humanities refers to the arts – the visual arts such as, painting,
and sculpture; the performing arts such as music, dance, theatre or drama, and
literature. They are the branches of learning concerned with human thought, feelings,
and relations.
2. The term art comes from the Italian word, artis, which means “craftsmanship, skill,
mastery of form, inventiveness, and the association that exist between form and ideas
and between material and techniques;” from the Aryan root ar which means “to join” or
“put together”, from the Greek words “ artizein,” which means to “prepare”, and arkiskein,
meaning to put together.”
3. Art is very important in our lives as it is concerned with the communication of certain
ideas and feelings by means of a sensuous medium – color, sound, bronze, marble,
words, and film.
4. The subject of art is varied. Some arts are representational; others are
nonrepresentational, non-objective, or abstract.
5. All arts have functions for people since they satisfy particular needs of people.
6. Visual arts or space arts are those that we perceive with our eye and which occupy
space.
7. Auditory or time arts are those that can be heard and are expressed in time.
8. Combined arts are those that can be both seen and heard and exist in both space and
time.

Objectives:

At the end of this unit, the student should be able:

1. To explain the meaning, nature, and importance of arts in our lives.

2. To determine the subject of art and its functions.
3. To be able to reflect on the functions of art with regard to their personal contributions to
the development of art.

The Nature of Art

Art is very important in our lives. It constitutes one of the oldest and most means of
expression developed by man. Art has been existent since men have lived together. In fact, in
nearly every country, art can be found in primitive societies. Art has been created by all people
at all times; it has lived because it is liked and enjoyed. A true work of art is made by man
himself not imitatively, but creatively. A true artist does not imitate nature but rather interprets it
in his own way by selecting the essential features of the subject and rejecting the minor ones.

 lOMoARcPSD|16156468

Art has been defined in various ways. Hereunder are some of the definitions given by
various authors:

1. Art is derived from the Latin word ars, meaning “ability or skill.” – J.V. Estolas
2. Art is taken from the Italian word artis, which means craftsmanship, skill, mastery of
form, inventiveness, and the associations that exist between form and ideas, between
material and technique. – A. Tan.
3. Art is a product of man’s need to express himself. – F. Zulueta.
4. Art is concerned with the communication of certain ideas and feelings by means of
sensuous medium, color, sound bronze, marble, words, and film. – C. Sanchez.
5. Art is that which brings life in harmony with the beauty of the world. Plato.
6. Art is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind – one which demands for its own satisfaction
and fulfilling, a shaping of matter to new and more significant form. – John Dewey.
7. Art is the skillful arrangement or composition of some common but significant qualities of
nature such as colors, sounds, lines, movements, words, stones, wood, etc., to express
human feelings, emotions, or thoughts in a perfect meaningful and enjoyable way. –
Panizo and Rustia.

From the definitions above, there are four (4) common essentials of art: 1. Art
must be man-made; 2. Art must be creative, not imitative; 3. Art must benefit and satisfy
man and man must make use of art in practical terms; and 4. Art is expressed through a
certain medium or material by which the artist communicates himself to his fellows.

Art has a particular importance in our lives. All the art that we see and hear have
a purpose; they occupy some place in our judgement.

We can communicate through paintings, songs, dances, and dramatic plays to

highlight and heighten the importance of certain events, keep them in memory and
indulge in pleasure. We also build monuments to remind us of the heroic deeds of great
men.

Artworks are also valuable sources of inspiration. We are delighted by the books
we read and moved by the music we hear. Paintings, sculptures, and plays capture our
attention and stimulate critical thinking. Modern architecture designs inspire us to plan
and construct our houses beautifully.

Through an artist’s work, we get a glimpse of the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs
of the people who lived in the period the artwork was produced and the external factors
that influenced the artwork. We also value and appreciate beautiful things as a
consequence of our encounter with the arts. Our aesthetic experience can change our
ways and behavior. They can transform us into highly-cultured, dignified, and
respectable human beings. The arts can beautify our humanity.

This explains why the arts is called the humanities. It brings out the good and the
noble in us. Through the arts, we come to know the changing image of man as he
journeys across time, searches for the reality, and strives to achieve the ideals that
create the meaning of life.

Art appreciation 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.

The Subject of Art

In any art form – painting, music, sculpture, or dance – there is always a subject
that serves as the foundation of the creation of the work of art. The subject of art is
varied. A subject of art is usually anything that is represented in the artwork. It is varied –
it may be a person, object, scene, or event.

Artworks that depict something easily recognized by most people are called
representational or objective arts. Painting, sculpture, graphic arts, literature, and
threatre arts are generally classified as representational, although some paintings and
sculptures are without subjects. Music and dance may or may not have subjects.

Artworks that have no resemblance to any real subject are called non-
representational or non-objective arts. They do not represent anything and they are what
they are. They rather appeal directly to the senses primarily because of the satisfying
organization of their elements.

Some contemporary painters have shifted their interest to the work of art as an
object in itself, an exciting combination of shaves and colors that fulfills the aesthetic
need without having to represent images or tell a story. Many modern paintings have a
purely visual appeals; so difficult that literal-oriented spectators cannot appreciate them.

On the contrary, traditional sculptures and paintings have subjects. When looking
at a traditional painting or a statue, one expects to recognize the subject – a man, a dog,
a landscape.

The Function of Art

Every art form has a definite function since it satisfies a particular need. To the
layman, art may have little function. Some find meaning in art in its ability to serve the
purpose for which it was designed. Obviously, architecture is directly and almost entirely
functional because buildings and other structures are always built for some special
purpose. Music and dance were used in ancient rituals and worship of the gods, for
social and folk entertainment, as well in the military. Painting and sculpture may be used
to narrate events, to portray people or events, to instruct (as in the case of Christian art),
to commemorate individuals or historical events, and to serve as vehicles of personal
expression. Metal works such as gates, grills, lamps, Christian religious objects, armor,
weapons, and tools, ceramics, glassware, stained glass, mosaic, tilework, textile, and
furniture are among the many types of arts or crafts. Each of these examples is made for
some definite and specific use.

The four main functions of art are:

1. Aesthetic function – through art, man becomes conscious of the beauty of nature. He
benefits from his own work and from those done by his fellowmen. He learns to use,
love, and preserve them for his enjoyment and appreciation.
2. Utilitarian function – with the creation of the various form of art, man now lives in
comfort and . Through art, man is provided with shelter, clothing, food, light,

11 | P a g e

 lOMoARcPSD|16156468

medicine, beautiful surrounding, personal ornamentals, entertainment, language,

transportation, and other necessities and conveniences of life. Art not only enriches
man’s life but also improves nature through landscape gardening, creation of super-
highways, and through propagation and conservation of natural resources.
3. Cultural function – through the printed matter, art transmits and preserve skills and
knowledge from one generation to another. It makes man aware of his/her cultural
background, making him/her more knowledgeable and his/her life more enduring and
satisfying.
4. Social function – through civic and graphic arts, man learns to love and help each
other. International understanding and cooperation are fostered and nations become
more unified, friendly, cooperative, helpful, and sympathetic.

The Scope of Art

Various authors classify arts in different ways. According to Manaois, there are two (2)
general dimensions of arts, namely 1. Fine arts or independent arts and 2. Practical
arts or utilitarian arts. Fine arts are made primarily for aesthetic enjoyment through the
senses, especially visual and auditory. Practical arts are intended for practical use. It is
the development of raw materials for utilitarian purposes.

Fine arts or aesthetic arts are music, painting, sculpture, architecture, literature,
dance and drama. Practical arts are industrial art, applied or household art, civic art,
commercial art, graphic art, agricultural art, business art, distributive art, and fishery art.

According to Custodiosa Snachez (2002), arts consist of visual arts, literature,

drama and threatre, music, and dance. Visual arts are those that we perceive with our
eyes. They may be classified into two groups, namely: 1. Graphic arts; and 2. Plastic
arts. Graphic arts include painting, drawing, photography, graphic process (printing),
commercial art (designing of books, advertisements, signs posters, and other displays),
and mechanical process, in which portrayals of forms and symbols are recorded on a
two-dimensional surface. Plastic arts include all fields of visual arts for which materials
are organized into three-dimentional forms such as structural architecture, landscape
architecture (gardens, park, playgounds, golf course beautification), city physical
planning and interior arranging (design of wallpaper, furniture), sculpture, crafts,
industrial design, dress and costumes design, and threatre design.

Josefina Estolas (1995) grouped arts into major and minor arts. Major arts
include painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, music and dance. Minor arts include
the decorative arts, popular arts, graphic arts, plastic arts, and industrial arts. She also
grouped arts into: visual arts (short story, novel, poetry, drama); popular arts (film,
newspaper, magazines, radio, television); gustatory art of the crusine (food preparation,
beverage preparation); and decorative arts or applied arts (beautification of houses,
offices, cars, and other structures).

Panizo and Rustia (995) classified arts into two (2) divisions: 1. According to
purpose and 2. According to media and forms:

12 | P a g e

Downloaded by Vince CORCUERA (vincecorcuera555@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|16156468

Arts that are classified according to purpose fall into 5 categories: practical arts
or useful arts. Liberal arts, fine arts, major arts, and minor arts. Practical or useful arts
are directed to produce artifacts and utensils for the satisfaction of human needs.
Handicrafts (basket weaving, mat weaving, etc.), embroidery, ceramics, iron and metal
crafts, and tin can manufacturing are examples of this arts. Liberal arts are directed
toward intellectual growth, such as in the study of philosophy, psychology, literature,
mathematics, and sciences.

Fine arts are focused towards creative activity for the contemplation of the mind
and the upliftment of the spirit. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are examples of
these arts. Major arts on the other hand, are characterized by actual and potential
expressiveness such as music, poetry, and sculpture. Minor arts on the other hand, are
concerned with practical uses and purposes, such as interior decoration and porcelain
art.

Arts that are classified according to media and forms are divided into five types:
plastic arts, phonetic arts, kinetic arts, pure arts, and mixed arts.

Plastic arts are works which in a physical space and perceived by the sense of
sight. Such arts include sculpture and decorative materials. Kinetic arts involve the
element of rhythm. Dance is a popular type of kinetic arts. Phonetic arts utilize sounds
and words as mediums of expression. Examples are music, drama, and literature. Pure
arts take only one medium of expression like sound in music and color in painting.
Mixed arts take more than one medium such as the opera which combines music,
poetry, and drama.

The Origin of Art

Art is viewed as a reflection of creativity, ingenuity, and inventiveness within a

culture. Its value is seen not only in terms of its styles and craftsmanship but also in its
functional interaction with all the elements that constitute human life and culture.

The history of art began with that of humanity. Art dates back to the time when
superstitions and beliefs in the spirits are still very common in every culture. Indigenous
art in the form of dancing, painting, music, poetry accompanied ancient rituals and
ceremonies. Men and women of the early times perform dances to entertain, to worship
their gods and goddesses, or to invoke success and blessings. Their music and poetry
chronicles the life and works of their ancestors as well as legendary origins of heroes,
heroines, and gods.

Tribalist cultures often wore body paintings during ceremonies. Cave painting
and drawings are believed to reflect ancient religious beliefs and visions. Most
sculptures from the early periods are also associated with religion, with gods and
goddesses as most common subjects. Artworks made from the more durable materials
like metal, stone, clay, bone, and glass survive longer than those made from materials
that are more prone to decay like wood. This is why most of sculptures made in wood
had been lost through time.

The temples of the East and West bear evidences of arts that pertain to gods,
goddesses, religious animals, demons, priests, kings, and queens.

Perception of the Work of Art

Proper arrangement of the different art elements in order to produce something

beautiful is called design of art. The design of things makes objects differ from one
perception to another. Good design of an art is the result of careful and correct
application of the principles of design. The most important factor for an artist to
remember is to execute these principles in order to achieve better perception to achieve
beauty.
Elements of arts are parts of a whole while perceptions of art design are rules or
guides to help one put these elements together to achieve beauty.
All of us are designers in our own ways. The five principles of art design are
harmony, rhythm, balance, proportion and emphasis.

HARMONY
Harmony – is the art principle which produces an impression of unity through the
selection and arrangement of consistent objects or ideas. it is the
quality which unifies every part of an arrangement. If there is
harmony there is order.

Five aspects of harmony:

1. Harmony of lines and shapes
2. Harmony size
3. Harmony of Color
4. Harmony of Texture
5. harmony of Idea

RHYTHM
Rhythm – is the regular, uniform or related movement made through the

37 | P a g e

 lOMoARcPSD|16156468

repetition of a unit or motif. It is most universal, dynamic and

pleasing art principle.

Classification:
a. Formal or Uniform- regular arrangement
b. Informal or Free- with variation

BALANCE
Balance – is a condition or quality which gives a feeling of rest, repose, equilibrium
or stability.
It is the visual weights of lines, forms, values, textures and colors.

Kinds of Balance:
1. Formal or Symmetrical Balance – with equal visual weight.
2. Informal or Asymmetrical Balance- with unequal visual weight.

PROPORTION
Proportion- is the art principle which shows pleasing relationship between a whole
and its parts and between the parts themselves. It is the
arrangement of space divisions in pleasing relationships.

Proportions expressed in terms of Ratio

Three Aspects of Proportion

a. proportion in Grouping of Objects
b. Proportion in Space Divisions
c. Proportion in Scales

EMPHASIS
Emphasis- is the principle of art which tends to carry the eyes from the center of
interest or dominant part of composition to the less important or
subordinate parts.

Factor of Emphasis- simplicity

Methods of Emphasizing Objects:

1. By arrangement or grouping of objects
2. By Decoration
3. By Color Contrast
4. By the use of plain background space
5. By the use of unusual lines, shapes, sizes of color.

Other Art Principles
