Answer: Art is not nature because it is how human perceives the nature. He can add patterns and other elements
based on how he interprets it. Moreover, we can say that art is not nature because it is not a natural
occurrence however, people taught themselves to find art in nature. Nature is real. Nature is neutral – it is
either good or bad. On the other hand, art is perceived, conceived idea on many items designed by man.
sometimes it appears to be close nature and sometimes it goes “beyond” the nature but it always return to
to the mind, heart, and hands of a man. Art exists because of the artists. When artists became extinct, art
would refrain from existing, but nature would persist.

2. Why art is timeless and ageless?

Answer: Art is timeless in a way that it is spanning generations and continents through and through. It varies and
and advances from time to time which makes it relatable to everyone. It retains its depth, complexity and
elements that reasonate the audience no matter when or where they came from. On the other hand, it is
ageless because it can still be appreciated no matter how old it is. As Dudley et.al (1960) says, “Art is not
good because it is old, but old because it is beautiful.”

3. Why does art involve experience?

Answer: This concept implies that art is one’s way to express one’s feelings, emotions and ideas which came from
one’s experience. In short, art expresses the experiences of an artist. These experiences are somewhat
unique to the artist that pushes him/her to create a certain masterpiece. Let us take for example, Moira
experiences heartbreak that leads her to write “The Trilogy: Patawad Paalam, Paalam,, Patawad”. She sung
with a unique emotion because it came from her own experience. Hence, every art is done came from an
inspiration that most of us have already discovered and experience. Moreover, art is not without other’s
interpretation. Therefore, it is necessary that an artist’s work is relatable for it was also experienced by them.
