Notes
What is Art?
- It is a natural human instinct to want to share experience, wisdom, and also emotions. When that instinct results in a beautiful creation, it is acknowledged as ‘Art’.
- The critical factors at the heart of artistic creation are the artist's capacity for power of imagination, sensibility, state of emotion, and skills.
Types of Art:
- Visual Art (Drik Kala): Drik Kala's origins can be traced back to prehistoric times. The discovery of many sites of rock art in the world proves it. Painting and sculpture are examples of visual arts.
- Performing Art (Lalit Kala): Lalit Kala is also referred to as 'Aangik Kala.' It encompasses activities such as dance, singing, and drama.
Types of traditions of art:
- Folk Arts: Folk art has a long history dating back to prehistoric times. Folk art expression is a natural aspect of people's daily lives. Hence its expression is spontaneous. It is formed as a result of the collective participation of members of a social group.
- Classical Arts: Classical art is expressed within an established frame of consistent rules. A very long period of training is required to master any form of classical art.
Style in Art:
- Artists tend to have their own methods of working. It is known as the style of the artist.
- A style could become a tradition if several artists use it over a long period of time. Such tradition becomes recognized as an 'art style.’ Every culture develops various art styles which become characteristic of certain periods or regions. Such styles are helpful in studying art history.
