4/26/2021
Topic: Subject and Content of Art
Subject of Art
-anything that is represented in the artwork (it may
varies)
- anything under the sun (imaginary or real-life
events)
-subject is the visual focus or the image that may be
extracted from examining the artworks
-those art without subject are called “non-objective”
they do not represent anything
...
Representational or Objective Art
- They depicts objects that can be
commonly recognized by most people
- The artist attempt to copy even in a
subjective manner, something that is real
...

- Artists attempt to portray the subject as it
is
...

Natural or Man-made, artificial setting
...

Mona Lisa
Landscapes, Seascapes, Moonscapes and
Cityscapes

-

-

-Mythology and Religion dreams and
fantasies
...
Non-Representation/al or Non-Objective Art
- Art without any reference in anything
outside itself
- There’s no recognizable object that can
find in the artwork
...

- It uses “content” and is concerned with
“how” the artwork is depicted
...

Sources of the Subject of Art
a
...
Most
common inspiration of artist because it is
already beautiful, and it is not needed to
be justified
...
History- all arts are pre-conditioned by
the historical period in which it is created
...
There are
historical structures that can tell our
history better rather than the textbook
...
Greek and Roman Mythology- It has been
a very important source of subject in art
and until now, it is still included in most
of the designs
...

d
...

Music, architecture, and literature
through the ages
...

e

The Content of Art
-it is the meaning, message, or feeling imparted in the
work of art
...

- Mass of ideas associated with each artwork and
communicated through the ff:
1
...
Symbolic meaning
3
...

Ex: Black shirt symbolizes grief and
mourning for someone because of past
experiences
...
Public and private museums
and galleries are also designed for keeping art, and
issues around preserving or restoring it
...
Custom, beliefs and values of the culture that uses
it

It is costly and time-consuming in preserving
an artwork
...
Writing that help explain the work
...


The subject matter- what the image literally
depicts
...

For someone to better understand the content of art,
there are three levels of meaning
...

Real, based on facts, there are evidence,
literal statement
...

Collective meaning- belief by a group of
people
...

Subjective meaning - which refers to the individual
meaning deliberately and instinctively expressed by
the artist using personal symbolism that stems from
his own alliance with certain objects, actions, or
colors with past experiences
...
(Tourism
purposes)
Reasons why we need to keep art:
1
...
Consider the
San Agustin Church built from 1586-1607 which
was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
...
The presence of the
major archaeological, religious, or architectural sites
stimulate the entire economy, attracts tourists, and
generates thousands of local arts
...

Education (Abandonment of young
locals to have better opportunity from
urban areas), Negative effects of
erosion in terraces, Natural disasters
...
Museums and Private Collections
Museums are the repositories of much of the art in
most countries and make them available for public
viewing through either permanent or temporary
exhibition (commission)
...
Private
Collection are older than museums
...
Museums often reflect the cultural milieu of
their founding
...

Government owned museum (National
Museum and Private Owned Museum (Ayala
Museum-one of the richest museums in
Southeast Asia because of its gold collection)
