This book is the product of the author's lecture notes and lifelong pursuit of the beautiful. Indeed an appreciation for beauty transcends art world contexts. The appreciation of beauty is a patiently cultivated and deferred outcome that arises from how we as a people nurture the realm of ideas through the senses. It plays a significant role in how we as a people see the world around us. This appreciation for beauty has an impact on how we conserve our heritage and how we appropriate cultural resources. The book surveys the elements and principles of organization in the arts and illustrates important concepts using selected artworks from the canon of Western art history, works by Filipino masters, and those of contemporary Filipino artists. Being philosophy-based yet written in a manner that students can easily comprehend, the exercises encourage higher-order thinking skills. Analytical approaches to art are encouraged while ideation exercises in artistic creation allow the student to explore the elements and principles of art that make for works that are considered excellent, admirable, and delightful. --Back cover of the book.
