Reading:Living With Art

Artist bring four functions: record, visualize the unknown, portray feelings, and stretch one's ability to see.

Creative people  possess certain traits: Sensitivity, Flexibility, Originality, Playfulness, Productivity, Fluency, Analytical Skill, Organizational Skill

Anyone can be creative but the class focuses more on visual creativity.

Beauty and ugliness is subjective. A good piece of art evokes some sort of great emotion whether it is a good emotion or a bad one.

Many artist are good at recreating nature but choose not to because they want to draw or paint what they themselves see.

Representational art are images that look very much like the real world or nature.

Abstract Art: Stylized art are basic geometric shapes that represent a real thing.
                      Nonrepresentational art is art with shapes and color that do not represent anything.
