“Art resides in the quality of doing;
process is not magic”.

Charles Eames,
 
“To labor in the arts for any reason other than
love is prostitution”.

Steven Pressfield
in The War of Art
“Art is not a thing—it is a way”.

Elbert Hubbard
in a 1908 volume of
 Little Journeys to
the Homes of Great Teachers
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose
ourselves at the same time”.

Thomas Merton in 

No Man Is An Island
“Art begins with resistance—at the point where
resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece
has ever been created without great labor”.

André Gide
in Poétique
• Art is something that is perennially
around us. Some people may deny
having to do with the arts but it is
indisputable that life presents us with
many forms of art and opportunities
for communion with the art.

Nature is not ART
One important characteristic of art is that
it is not nature. Art is man’s expression of
his reception of nature. Art is man’s way of
interpreting nature. Art is not nature. Art is
made by man, whereas nature is a given
around us. It is this juncture that they can
be considered opposites.
Movies are not meant to be direct
representation of reality. They may,
according to the moviemaker’s
perception of reality, be a
reinterpretation or even distortion of
nature.
• When one says that he has an experience of
something, he often means that he knows
what that something is about. When one
claims that he has experienced falling in love,
getting hurt, and bouncing back, he in effect
claims that he knows the (something) endless
cycle of loving.
Art involves

ART APPRECIATION:
Creativity, Imagination, and
Expression
It takes an artist to make an art.
One may perceive beauty on a
daily basis. However, not every
beautiful things that can be seen
or experienced may truly be
called a work of art.
ART APPRECIATION:
As way of life
Each artwork beholds beauty of its own
kind that the artist sees and wants the
viewers to perceive. More often than
not, people are blind to this beauty and
only those who have developed a fine
sense of appreciation can experience and
see the art the same way the artist did.
Numerous artworks go artist are not
given enough credit, and they miss
opportunities. It sometimes takes a
lifetime before their con contribution to
the development of art is recognized.
Role of Creativity in Art
Making

the box. It is often used to solve
problems that have never occurred
before, conflate function and style,
and simply make life a more unique
and enjoyable experience.
“Art as product of
imagination,
imagination as
product of Art ”
“Imagination is more important than
knowledge. For knowledge is limited
to all we now know and understand,
while imagination embraces the
entire world, and all there ever will
be to know and understand”.
Art as an expression
• Robin George Collingwood, an English
philosopher who is best known for his
work in aesthetics, explicated in his

not to induce it, but to express it.
