Why do people create Art? • It fulfills the urge of human beings to understand themselves and the universe. • Art allows us to communicate our understanding in ways that cannot be expressed otherwise. • Art, more than any other experience, is capable of placing us closer to peoples of the past.
It is with this in mind that we will explore an Art History based curriculum; our projects will be relevant to famous works of Art and movements. The work will be seen in the context and culture of the time, and in this way we will increase our perceptual as well as cultural awareness.
People around the world make art to:
- seek personal enjoyment and satisfaction.
- express personal thoughts and feelings.
- communicate with others.
- create a more favorable environment.
- provide us with new visual experiences.
- record a time, place, person or object.
- commemorate important people or events.
- reinforce cultural ties and traditions.
- tell stories.
- adorn themselves.
- predict the future or remember the past.
- do something no one else can (or has yet done).
- make the ordinary extraordinary.
- increase our global understanding.
- to have fun and think out of the box.
