Definition of
HUMANITIES
 The term Humanities comes from the Latin
word, “humanus”
Which means human, cultured, and refined.

It generally refers to art, literature, music,

architecture, dance and the theatre—in which
human subjectivity is emphasized and individual
expressiveness is dramatized.
 The art that we perceive through our eyes is
called the visual art, and architecture is one
part of it.
Visual arts involve not only painting and
sculpture but include such things as clothes,
household appliances, and the furnishing of our
homes, schools, churches and other buildings.
 Another form of the more important arts is
music. This is the art of combining and
regulating sounds of varying pitch to produce
compositions expressing various ideas and
emotions.
Its primary function is to entertain.
Music is one of the great arts of our civilization,
along with literature, painting, sculpture,
architecture, and dance.
Dance is another form of art that is common
to man even during the earliest times. It is the
most direct of the arts for it makes use of the
human body as its medium.
It springs from man s love for expressive
gestures, his release of tension through
rhythmic movement.
Dance heightens the pleasure of being, and at
the same time mirrors the life of society.
The area of the theater or drama is another
of the important arts. Dramatic activities are
usually part of every school and community
program.
The spectators get involved in these situations
and thus gain greater insight into human
motives and passions.
• What is the Biggest Benefit of This Exercise?
• Simple - it helps to set you on the path of seeing
the way an artist sees! That, in turn, helps you
properly illustrate whatever you want.
• Upside down drawing develops your ability to
see only lines and shapes and their relation to
each other which is the ultimate aim for all
artists.
• it trains your eyes to really see.
 Draw a portrait

What you see you will be,

after 10 years.
 What the Arts Have in Common
The most basic relationship is that the arts
are concerned with emotions, with our feelings
about things.
When a person sees a picture, he thinks it is beautiful, or
when he watches a play or dance performance, he thinks
it is exciting, he feels that it is lovely or stirring.
His reaction is primarily emotional states in a way which is
very different from intellectual responses
An Artist
Is a person who exhibits exceptional
skills in design, drawing, painting ,
and the like who works in one of the
performing arts, like an actor or
musician.
Unlike other people, he is more
sensitive and more creative.
There are two kinds of artists
CREATORS– PERFORMERS
The work of the Creative Artist

The process of creativity is threefold,

with the artist as the prime mover,
communicating his ideas through the
performer, as his interpreter to the
audience.
The Process of Creation

Three major phases in the process of

creation.
1. The artist must have an IDEA
2. He must have a MATERIAL in
which to work on
3. He must give FORM to his idea
 The IDEA
Artists are highly sensitive persons
specially aware of the things that
surrounds them.

A study of arts is the study of

humankind, for through the arts we
can discover man’s major interests,
feelings and problems through the
ages.
 The MATERIAL and PROCESS
A painter uses pigments; a sculpture uses
stone, metal or wood; an architect,
various building material. An author uses
words; a composer, musical sounds which
he sets down as notes. A choreographer
uses people and their movements.

The artist’s various materials have a

profound effect on his products.
 ORGANIZATION and FORM
Artist have developed a host of different
forms to express the ideas they work on.
Popular song writers uses the conventional
32-measure length. Symphonic
composers uses accepted structure of
four movements.
Works having three part structure; an
introductory section which “sets the
stage” for what follows; a middle section
which develops the plot, the melody, or
the story; and a concluding section.
