Art As Expression

ART AS EXPRESSION
 “What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it, but express it. Through expression,
he is able to explore his own emotions and at the same time, create something beautiful
out of them.” – Robin George Collingwood
 Expressing emotions is different from describing emotions.
 This makes people’s art not a reflection of what is outside or external to them, but a
reflection of their inner selves.
VISUAL ARTS
 Creations that fall under this category are those that appeals to the sense of sight and
are mainly visual in nature.
 Artists produce visual arts driven by their desire to reproduce things that they have
seen in the way that they perceived them.
 There are also other artistic disciplines that also involve a visual aspect, such as
performance arts, theater, and applied arts.
 Some mediums of visual arts include paintings, drawings, letterings, printing,
sculpture, digital imaging.
FILM
 Film refers to the art of putting together successions of still images in order to create an
illusion of movement.
 Filmmaking focuses on its aesthetic, cultural, and social value and is considered both an
art and an industry.
 Techniques in film-making process:
o Motion-picture camera (also known as movie camera)
o Animation techniques
o Computer-generated imagery (CGI)
 Filmmaking simulates experiences or creates one that is beyond the scope of our
imagination as it aims to deliver ideas, feelings, or beauty to its viewers.
PERFORMANCE ART
 Performance art is a live art and the artist’s medium is mainly the human body which
he or she uses to perform, but also employs other kind of art such as visual art, props,
or sound.
 Elements of performance arts:
o Time
o Where the performance took place
o The performer’s body Relationship between the audience and the performer(s)
 The fact that performance art is live makes it intangible, which means it cannot be bought
or traded as a commodity.
POETRY PERFORMANCE
 Poetry is an art form where the artist expresses his emotions not by using paint, charcoal,
or camera, but expresses them through words.
 These words are carefully selected to exhibit clarity and beauty and to stimulate strong
emotions of joy, anger, love, sorrow among others.
 It uses a word’s emotional, musical, and spatial values that go beyond its literal meaning
to narrate emphasize, argue, or convince.
 These words combined with movements, tone, volume, and intensity of the delivery add
to the artistic, value of the poem
ARCHITECTURE
 Art is the pursuit and creation of beautiful things while architecture is the making of
beautiful buildings.
 However, not all building is beautiful because some only embody the functionality they
need, but the structure, lines, forms, and colors are not beautifully expressed.
 Important elements:
o Plan
o Construction
o Design
o Buildings should embody these three important elements if they wish to merit
the title architecture.
DANCE
 Dance is series of movements that follows the rhythm of the music accompaniment.
 Dancing is a creative art form that allows people to freely express themselves.
 IT HAS NO RULES.
 Choreography may seem not to allow this, but in art expression, dancers are not confined
to set steps and rules but are free to create and invent their own movements as longs as
they deem them graceful and beautiful.
LITERARY ART
 Artists who practice literary arts use words to express themselves and communicate emotions
to the readers.
 Simply becoming a writer does not make one a literary artist.
 Literary art goes beyond the usual professional, academic, journalistic and other technical
forms of writing.
 It focuses on writing using a unique style, not following a specific format or norm.
 It may include both fiction and non-fiction such as novels, biographies, and poems.
o Romeo and Juliet – William Shakespeare
o The Little Prince – Antoine de Sain-Exupery
THEATER
 Theater uses live performers to present accounts or imaginary events before a live
audience.
 Theater art performance usually follows follow a script, though they should not be
confused with literary arts.
 Like in filmmaking, theater also considers several elements such as acting, gesture,
lighting, sound effects, musical score, scenery and props.
 Like performance art, theater also is a live performance.
 Genres: drama, musical, tragedy, comedy and improvisation
APPLIED ARTS
 Applied arts is incorporating elements of style and design to everyday items with the aim
of increasing their aesthetic value.
 Artists in this field bring beauty, charm, and comfort into many things that were useful in
everyday life.
