To what
extent and in what ways might the arts be regarded as a
representation of reality?
To
interpret all aspects of nature
Art is the
means to interpret all aspects of nature, to capture an instant, the
emotion of a face, the movement of the human form, the peacefulness
of scenery, the joy of a flower.
Feelings
and emotions all of the grandeur and majesty of Creation,
transmitting the joy of life, interpretations of beauty, emotions
and feelings, through colour, light and form.
The
investigation and study of the aesthetical qualities of a work of
art will allow us to understand exhaustively the processes of
transformation and transfiguration of reality of a certain ideas
developed by an artist.
What is the
proper function of art?
The Revealing Power
is the function of art, scripture, ritual and mediation.
Art
becomes a subject of knowledge, a phenomenon, or an idea because any
artistic creation can not be considered separately, but should be
thought of as a moment and a result of historical - artistic process
in whose context we will be able to understand its full meaning. In
this way the history of art itself becomes a way of researching and
of viewing the world.
The
Ancient Greek considered art as concept of imitation, purifying-or
rather educationally role.
The Middle
Ages emphasized the nature of the subordination of beauty to truth
and justified art as an allegory.
The
Renaissance considered art as imitation, and the principle of
verisimilitude as its fundamental rule.
The modem
aesthetics claimed that the autonomy of art is a form of
pre-logical, intuitive knowledge, the creative faculty of which is
imagination.
Is originality essential in the arts?
Originality in art implies being the first of its kind. It suggests
something that has never been done before. TF Wolff /(art critic) in
an article writes*: "Originality is more a matter of being than of
doing, and exists in the very nature of the individual who expresses
it. It is intrinsic to identity, and, on its most primitive level,
is quite simply an individual's uniqueness."Original
implies originate; when you know what has gone before, you also can
recognize when your idea is a breakthrough. Picasso takes from
lonian statues, Greek vases and African masks, transforming them
into new syntheses. He incorporates the old, but rejuvenates it by
altering the viewpoint. Originality in art
is very difficult to pin down, for it sets its own rules and
conditions, and they seem to vary from age to age.
In what ways does technology influence the art?
Technology makes artists to break away from the
old patterns. They find alternatives. They diverge from familiar
patterns, but then they converge on new solutions. They break
balance to remake them. They make hard decisions about what to
include and what to eliminate.
- develop new insights and art
perspectives - facilitate innovation and invention in art
Does art, or can art, tell the truth?
What might have great value to the
creator may have little worth to others. On the other hand, the art
may be a desirable enlargement of the human experience. It
may be relevant to a small group or of value to the world as a
whole. It may have no significance to contemporaries
and great significance to future generations. |
