55
Areas of Knowledge: Art
Some key points:
• Art of one form or another can be found in all cultures, and the desire to make aesthetically pleasing objects seems to be universal
• Among the criteria for distinguishing art from non-art are the intentions of the artist, the quality of the work, and the response of the spectators
• It could be argued that great art stands the test of time and is inexhaustible – in the sense that it constantly reveals new things to us
56
Areas of Knowledge: ArtSome key points:
• The Copy Theory says the purpose of Art is to copy reality. But it could be argued that art is not so much a slavish reproduction of reality as a creative reinterpretation of it
• A second theory sees Art as a means of communication which enables us to imaginatively project ourselves into new situations and communicate emotions that lie beyond everyday language
• A third theory says that the Arts have an educative role and at their best broaden our awareness, develop our empathy and sharpen our moral intuitions
