1. What is Humanities?

Humanities are a group of academic subjects that were combined with a commitment of studyin g various aspects of human condition and to do a qualitative approach. The subje ct of Humanities is generally distinguished from other subjects like various nat ural sciences and other social sciences. The subjects that are included in Human ities are Philosophy, Literature, Classics, Languages, Music, Religion, Visual A rts and the Performing Arts. In some parts of the world there are added subjects in humanities, these subjects include History, Cultural Studies, Archaeology, C ommunications and Area Studies. However these subjects are also considered in so cial sciences in other parts of the world 2. What is art? Anything that expresses emotion. Most people can perceive art to be something painted on a piece of paper, but th at is not all that art is. I consider art also to be music. Music expresses emot ion. Each piece is a masterpiece of artwork, so beautiful. A drawn pencil sketch ing is art. Art can also be something three dimensional, like a sculpture (avera ge example hehe). Nothing can really define art. Art is everything. Everything i s art... Those two statements say the exact same thing. 3. Different function of art? functions of art normally fall within three categories. These are personal, soci al or physical functions. These categories can, and (often) do, overlap in any g iven piece of art. -The physical functions of art are most easily dealt with. Works of art that are created to perform some service have physical functions. -Art has social functions when it addresses aspects of (collective) life, as opp osed to one person's point of view or experience. -The personal functions of art are the most difficult to explain in any great de tail. There are many of them, and they vary from person to person. An artist may create out of a need for self-expression, or gratification. S/he m ight have wanted to communicate a thought or point to the viewer. Perhaps the ar tist was trying to provide an aesthetic experience, both for self and viewers. A piece might have been meant to "merely" entertain others. Sometimes a piece isn 't meant to have any meaning at all. 4. Differentiate < skip muna> 5. Explain Visual art. -The visual arts are art forms that create works which are primarily visual in n ature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, craf ts, and often modern visual arts (photography, video, and filmmaking) and archit ecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disc iplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the v isual arts as well as arts of other types.

6. Methods of arts. -1. RealismIt is the attempt to portray the subject as is. The artist selects, changes, and arranges details to express the idea he wants to make clear.The ar tist main function is to describe accurately what is observed through the senses .
