Introduction to Art
Appreciation
Prepared by:

What is
Definition is debated through decades but how do we define art?
Art is an expression of thoughts, emotions, intuitions, and desires.
It is the communication of intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully

portrayed by words alone.
What is Appreciation?
• Recognition of good qualities of person or something
Is appreciation the same as “like” or
“love”?
Art Appreciation
• Recognition of good qualities and understanding of art
• Acquiring knowledge leads to appreciation
• Knowing vocabulary, concepts, themes, processes, materials

Is art for everyone? Why?
Reasons for creating art?
How do we separate art from a non-
art?
WHAT IS ART TO YOU?
With the sudden change of everything in this
world caused by the pandemic, do you think
studying art is still important?
The more we talk about art
the more we learn about what it means
to us and understand what it means to
others
Why study art?
• Art makes us hopeful.
• Art makes us less lonely.
• Art rebalances us.
• Art helps us appreciate stuff
• Art is a propaganda for what really matters
Art can be
Visual art
Music
Dance
Drama
Poetry
Photography
Film
Elements of Art
• Line
• Shape
• Form
• Value
• Texture
• Color
• Space
Line
A line is a path that a point takes through space. Lines can be thick,
thin, dotted or solid. They can make straight movements, zig-zags,
waves or curls.
They may be
horizontal
Vertical
Diagonal
Horizontal Lines are generally restful, like
the horizon, where the sky meets land
Vertical lines seem to be reaching, so they may seem inspirational like tall majestic trees or church steeples
Diagonal lines tend to be disturbing. They
suggest decay or chaos like lightening or
falling trees
Lines can convey emotion as well. They may
show excitement, anger, calmness, tension,
happiness and many other feelings.Because
of this, some are said to be expressive.
Expressive Lines tend to be found in nature
and are very organic
Other lines that are very measured, geometric,
directional and angular are called Constructive lines.
They tend to appear to be man-made because of their
precision.
Shape
Shape is created when a line becomes connected and
encloses space. It is the outline or outward
appearance of something. Shapes are 2 Dimensional
(2-D) which means there are 2 ways they can be
measured.
You can measure its HEIGHT and its WIDTH.
The 2 types of shape
• The 2 types of shapeGeometric shapes have smooth even edges and
are measurable. The include the square, the circle, the triangle and
the rectangle.
Organic shapes have more complicated edges and are usually found in nature. Leaves, flowers, amoeba, etc.
Form
• A Form is a shape that has become 3- Dimensional (3-D) Form has
HEIGHT, WIDTH and DEPTH--which is the 3rd dimension.Depth shows
the thickness of the object. Forms are NOT flat like shapes are!
Value
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Value makes objects
appear more real because it imitates natural light. When showing
value in a work of art, you will need a LIGHT SOURCE.
Ways value can be added
Stippling is the use of dots to create shade. This is
accomplished by
placing dots very
close together to
create dark values
and farther apart
to create lighter
values.
Cross-hatching is when you use irregular lengths of
parallel lines
that cross over each
other diagonally. The
closer together the
lines are placed, the
darker the value.
Color
There are 3 primary colors:
Red, Yellow and Blue
These colors are primary for 2 reasons:

1. They can’t be mixed to be made
2. They make all the other colors on the color wheel
Texture
Texture is the way the surface of an object actually feels.
In the artistic world, we refer to two types of texture---tactile and
implied
Space
Space can be shallow or deep depending on what the artist wants to
use. Shallow space is used when the artist has objects very close to the
viewer.
Space
Deep Space
may show
objects up
close but
objects are
shown far
away
too.
Space
• Perspective is also a way of showing space in a work of art.
Perspective is when the artist uses a vanishing point on the horizon
and then creates a sense of deep space by showing objects getting
progressively smaller as they get closer to the vanishing point.
Objects may overlap as well. When objects are overlapped it is obvious
that enough space had to be in the picture to contain all the objects that have
been included
Functions of Art
Religious Ritual
From the prehistoric cave paintings of France, to the Sistine Chapel, art
has served religion. For centuries the Church was the primary patron of
artists. In traditional societies even today, the primary purpose of art is
religious or ceremonial.
commemoration of an important event
The event may be of major historical importance, such as the coronation
of Josephine by Napoleon as recorded by the artist David, or it may be
important only to the participants, like the image of a wedding or a
baptism.
Recording History
propaganda or social commentary
Recording of Visual Data
Creating beauty
Storytelling
Intense Emotion
