ART

Art is a product of a man’s creativity, imagination, and expression. Refining one’s ability to appreciate art allows him
to deeply understand the purpose of an artwork and recognize the beauty it possesses. The primary stage of
engaging art is its perception. Subjectivity is illustrated in the wat that selective perception or two details more
prominent than others, prompting the viewer to focus on some details or as standouts. In the arts, there are also
observable qualities that the artwork holds that will point to its subject, and sometimes even to its content.

another arti

produces art, art also inspires imagination
