What is art?

Art comes from Aryan root word “AR” which means to join or to put together, from
the Latin term “ARS” means ‘artificially made or composed by man’, and from the
Renaissance words “arti” and “arte”, which means craft guild and craftsmanship, respectively.

Art is very important in our lives. It constitutes one of the oldest and most important
means of expression developed by man. People during the prehistoric times used painting,
drawing and sculpture to convey concepts and ideas, and share experiences.

It concerns itself with the communication of certain ideas and feelings by means of
sensuous medium – color, sound, bronze, marble, words, and film, which are fashioned into
symbolic language marked by beauty of design and coherence of form. It appeals to the mind,
arouses the emotion, kindles the imagination and enhances the senses.

Art can be found in all ages and all countries. Because art is a form of expression of
man, it is natural to find forms of art in different countries and different periods of time. This
is perhaps the reason of art historian in classifying art based on historical periods like
prehistoric art, classic art, renaissance art, etc., and based on geography such as African art,
Chinese Art, Egyptian art, etc.

Also, art does not grow old and die. It lives because it is liked and enjoyed.

Art also involves experience. Artists has to have an experience that he/she needs to
put in making an art. His/Her skill and ideas are part of this experience. On the other hand,
observer/interpreter needs a kind of experience and enters into a kind of experience to
understand and appreciate the art.

Art is a product of man’s need to express himself. Expressing oneself is a need of man,
and art-making is one way, and perhaps the best way of doing it. Artists paint or compose
music to express love, anger or frustration. Dancers dance to express happiness
or sadness. Authors write to show protest, support of the status quo, or even to express fear
and anxiety.

Art is interdisciplinary. Various disciplines are interwoven in art. A certain painting


can teach not only about colors, line, texture, etc. but also about history, culture, religion.

Art is universal but has no universal meaning.

According to Leo Tolstoy, a well-known Russian novelist, “Art is a means of union
among all men, a means of communication.”

Beneditto Croce, an Italian philosopher, thinks of art as “vision.” In doing an art work,
he believes that an artist creates a picture of phantasm.

St. Thomas Aquinas also believes that “art is the direct opposite of practical.” He said
that “the artist may be immoral, and yet his work may be good.”

On the other hand, Aristotle thinks that “art is the right reason for making things.” He
also believes that “art has no other end but itself, and that all arts are patterned on nature.

Furthermore, John Dewey, defines art as “experience…the refined and intensified


forms of experience are works of art.”

Art is an act, an idea or a product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms
an existing domain into a new one.
