KCC Art 141 Chapter 1 What Is Art

Chapter 1 What is Art? What's Included in Art? Music, Dance, Theater, Literature and Visual Arts...Can you think of other venues? Our world has become a very visual one - we have art all around us. Understanding art is understanding our world! A good first step is to try to understand what we mean by art. What is Art? There are no single answers and not everyone will agree on a definition. Book art Collage Salvador Dali Persistence of Memory

The Aesthetic Experience An "aesthetic experience" is one of charged awareness. It is looking beyond the obvious and experiencing a thing or event on an emotional level. It can be activated by an experience with the natural world, the contemplation of forms (including but not limited to art), or a journey into the world of the imagination. It can be stimulated by something as simple as enjoying a good meal or as complex as a life-changing event.

Does art have to be representational? Is it necessary for it to actually look like something, such as a woman, or a vase of flowers? Does art have to be realistic? Is it better if it is realistic? What makes it realistic? Can it be something that suggests something real, even if it doesn't look exactly like our eye sees it in real life? Gauguin Matisse Whistler

BCE Religious art gives tangible form to the gods, goddesses, beliefs, hopes, and spirits of a culture and is one of the most prevalent subjects in art. The fact that religious deities and spirituality are part of an unknown gives a sense of mystery and magic to the visual depictions.
