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.”
-Robin George Collingwood
•Expressing emotions is different from describing emotions.
•This makes people’s art not a reflection of what is outside or external to them, but a
reflection of their
inner selves.

theme in one’s mind.
•Artists create because there is a need to express their sentiments and social
conditions.
ART AS EXPERIENCE

class, ethnicity

Timeless, spanning generations and continents through and through.

Radio DJ, Choreographer, Painter, Sculptor

factor Information
but as experience.”
