MY JOURNEY
You have learned that art is everywhere. That is probably one of the reasons for
the arts to be included in an educational system. It is evident that involvement in the arts
has been shown to help students in their academic, personal, and social development. In
this lesson, you will know the difference between aesthetic arts and crafts. You also need
to know the principles in understanding artistic composition.
MY EXPECTATIONS
As a preliminary activity for the topic, the teacher will ask the students of the following
questions:
1. What is the relationship between Art and Crafts?
2. Is Art a reflection of our values? Support your answer.
3. Is artistic skill learned or natural?
4. Why is Art considered as a “distinct character and a reflection of society”?
MY READINGS
A branch of philosophy devoted to the study of art and beauty used during the
18th century by Alexander Baumgarten, a German philosopher. This term also
refers to the principles governing the nature and appreciation of beauty,
especially in visual art (Rader, 1979).
On the other hand, the term “craft” comes from a German word Kraft which means
“power” or “ability.” It usually employed in branches of the decorative arts or associated
artistic practice. It also implies the application of human skills through the use of a hand.
It tends to produce things for various human purposes, and tend to exhibit their prettiness
around a goal external to the object itself (Dutton, 1990).
Artists may have unique skills and perceptive abilities, but they are also people with
needs and the motivation to meet those needs. Creating different works of art that are
accepted by one’s audience can lead to an artist’s social acceptance and recognition.
Their works of art have been used to create pleasing environments. Arts and crafts have
different types, namely: textile wood, metal, paper or canvass, and plant crafts.
Textile Crafts. The word textile is from a Latin phrase texere which means “to braid"
or "to construct." These also refer to any craft where you work with fabric, yarn or surface
design. It uses plant or any synthetic fibers in creating practical or decorative objects.
These include the following:
1. Cross-stitch- Stitching can also be a form of natural pain relief. It is a popular form
of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like
pattern are used to form a picture.
2. Crocket- It is a process of creating fabric from yarn, thread, or other material
strands using a crochet hook.
3. Sewing- It is the crafts of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a
needle and thread.
4. Weaving- It is a fabric production method in which yarns are interlaced at right
angles to form a fabric or cloth.
5. Tatting- It is a technique for handcrafting particularly in making durable lace which
is constructed by a series of knots and loops.
6. Shoemaking- It is the process of making footwear.
7. Lace- It is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by
machine or by hand.
8. Macramé- It is a form of textile-making which requires very few tools and just some
pure knowledge of basic knotting.
9. Millinery- It is the designing and manufacture of hats.
Wood Crafts.
These refer to a skill that
pertains to the woods,
especially in making
one's way through the
woods or in hunting,
trapping, etc. It also
relates to subsistence
lifestyles with
implications of hunting-
gathering (Horace,
1906). These include
the following:
Art principles are created by combining art elements. Artists utilize organizing
principles to develop forms that inform. Among the fundamental principle of art are
harmony, variety, balance, movement, emphasis, proportion, and rhythm. Whether
analysing or composing artwork, one must have a complete understanding of how art
principles are created (Elsen, 1981).
The motivated purposes of art are intentional and conscious actions on the part of
the artist. Art may bring political change or comment on the life in a society. It may also
convey specific propaganda, or just as a form of communication (Holly, 2002). Primary
motivated functions of arts are as follows:
a. Art for Acting. Art may pursue to bring about a certain emotion, to relax or to
entertain the viewer.
b. Art for healing. Art is utilized by art therapists, psychotherapists, and clinical
psychologists as art therapy. The end product is a method of curing, through
creative acts.
c. Art for political change. One of the essential functions of the art of the early
twentieth century has been to use visual images to bring about legislative
modification.
d. Art for propaganda (Commercialism). Art is utilized to influence popular ideas or
moods delicately.
e. Art for communication. Art has a goal, directed toward another individual. For
example, graphic is a form of art for communication in which the artist expresses
his/her emotions, feelings, and moods.
