Lesson 2

• Art


  A creative work that depicts the world in a completely different light and perspective, and the source is due to human freedom
• Each artwork beholds beauty of its own kind, the kind that the artist sees and wants the viewers to perceive
• Creativity


  Thinking outside the box to solve problems that have never occurred before, conflate function and style, and simply make life a more unique and enjoyable experience
• A creative artist does not simply copy or imitate another artist's work. He does not imitate the lines, flaws, colors, and patterns in recreating nature. He embraces creativity, puts his own flavor into his work, and calls it his own creative piece
• Campaign ad "It's More Fun in the Philippines"

  • Allegedly plagiarized from Switzerland's tourism slogan "It's More Fun in Switzerland" back in 1951
• Albert Einstein: 'Imagination is more important than knowledge, For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand'
• Art as expression


  What an artist does to an emotion is not to induce it, but express it. Through expression, he is able to explore his own emotions and at the same time, create something beautiful out of them
