ART IS UNIVERSAL
Art has been crafted by all
people regardless of its origin,
time, place and it that stayed
because it is liked and enjoy
by people continuously.
ART IS NOT
NATURE
Art is man-made. It is a creation of man that
may reflect a profound skillfulness and
craftsmanship. It undergoes process and
planning: a result of study and research.
Art is man’s expression of his reception of
nature. It is just an imitation or even
appropriation of ideas, thought, feelings, and
emotions that are communicated in creative
and artistic ways.
What we find in nature should not be
expected in art. Movies are not meant to be a
direct expression of reality. The may,
according to the moviemaker’s perception of
reality, be a reinterpretation or distortion of
reality
ART IS

demands involvement. The only way to find
conviction and affirmation in art is through
