Visual ART
Contemporary cultures and communications are predominantly conducted through visual ideas. Although artistic creation is the subtitle for this section, the focus here are the visual arts in brief step by step outline of its benefits.
A great work of art can be viewed as a sign or symbol, a material object that communicates on a variety of levels.
The message that the art object contain is able to open windows into the mind and soul of the viewer.
The spirit and energy distilled in the image, has the power and ability to reshape our worldview. Changing the entire perceptions of viewers.
The visual arts addresses a vast range of human concerns, but it does much more that that. When confronted with the created art object, often, many viewers receives sublime experiences. The art is valued and become important because of what it contains, and what meanings can be interpreted in a relationship with it. For added value, some works of art is able to converse with the viewer in a language of emotions and sensibilities.
Symbolic Art
Some of the best visual arts works, captures and describes the essence and spirit of an important moment. One that represents the heartbeat and soul of an Individual or nation.
A civilising factor, great contemporary art, can also inform us of what our lives mean, and explain our complex living experiences; whatever they may be.
While serving the general public, original creative visual art is able to to heal a cluttered damage mind, and become the balm for a troubled heart.
Visual arts heritage can also be developed as the keeper of our collective memories.
A work of art holds no intrinsic commercial value, unless one is placed on it. When a work of art is able to transcend national cultural barriers, and narrates relevance to the international art world. The value of the work will be multiplied and continue to increase with time.

We can all participate in this visual enrichment without any major cost, spend a little quality time visiting art galleries, exhibitions in public and private museums. Direct contact with individual artist are also easier, studio visits on special invitation days are becoming popular events again. So, join in the fun.
Artist Monolgues
All true artists are by nature uniquely free individuals, and do what they must do. Create original works of art to satisfy a need, progress the various fields of the arts, and specific arenas in particular.
Artists rarely complete a one-off object in isolation, all works are produced together in series of exploration. The finished individual elements becoming parts of a bigger whole, a created body of works with a life of its own and with stories to tell.
Unfortunately, many artists deeply seated in their techniques, crafts and technicalities creating, making and production, are reluctant or unable to articulate what it is they re doing; in a common everyday language we can all understand. Even when individual artist speak to audiences, the general public not well versed in the specialist language of the visual arts, encounter many barriers in the attempts to read and understand images.
Art Appreciation
Through spoken dialogue and written narratives, excellent curators are able to bridge the gap between the artists and viewing public audiences. The curators interpret the body of art works in order to inspire the general public, inform and educate.
Traditionally, the place of the Fine Artist in any Society is among the intelligentsia. The thought was anywhere else is a departure, and misrepresentation of the true role of the Arts in Culture and Society.
The serious collectors and patrons of the Visual Arts, (for added value) demands more direct experiences. Something deeper and more intensifying than what is gained through the work of art.
They require access into the world of the artist and their working processes. Today, artists are required to share not only creative expressions, but also something of themselves.
Artistic appreciation goes way beyond personal taste. Real art is the third that occurs whenever audiences meet medium, or object of creative expression. for instance, a writer compose a beautiful a story, when or rowdies this story becomes art?
Reading the story, the reader become remorseful, and cried watery tears rolling down both facial cheeks. The sensibility of the reader – the audience, with the creative expression of the text – the medium, and the third element – watery tears. Is the evidence that art occurred in that moment.
ARTISANS
Long before the industrial revolution, and new technology explosion, Artisans were the dominant producers of cultural commodities. They were on-hand to support artists to realise ideas in new challenging areas of creativity, offering assistance with specific crafts, and technical knowledge.
Masters of their crafts, creating partly or entirely by hand, artisans transforms basic raw materials into functional goods or decorative products.
Scattered across the fields of Applied Arts, Artisans have theoretical and empirical knowledge, and maintain a variety of traditional methods of making modern crafts including: wood, stone, ceramics, pottery, glass, lighting, furniture, metalworking, printmaking, jewellery and more. They concentrate on making beautiful functional objects by hand, including a personal focus on ideas and aesthetics values.
Historically, artists and artisans working closely together have produced invigorating break-through in a number of areas. Pablo Picasso’s ‘Paintings in Clay’ is one example of this collaboration at the Madoura Pottery, in the coastal town of Vallauris on France Cote d’Azur.
