CLASSIFICATION AND SUBJECT OF ART
In viewing art, there are clues that mediate between the artwork and the viewer, allowing the viewer to
more easily comprehend what he is seeing. These clues are the three basic components of a work of art:
1. Subject – the visual focus or the image that may be extracted from examining the artwork; the “what”
2. Content – the meaning that is communicated by the artist or the artwork; the “why”
3. Form – the development and configuration of the artwork, how the elements and the medium or material are
put together; the “how”
These components are largely inseparable from each other and usually related to each other.

TYPES OF SUBJECT
REPRESENTATIONAL ART
– types of art that have subjects that refer to objects or events occurring in the real
world.
- often termed figurative art because as the name suggests, the figures depicted are
easy to make out and decipher.
Representational artwork aims to represent actual objects or subjects from reality. It is perhaps the oldest of the types of
art. It can be traced back to the Paleolithic figurine, The Venus of Willendorf. It is also the easiest to digest from a viewer's
perspective.

TYPES OF SUBJECT
NON- REPRESENTATIONAL ART – types of art that have subjects that do not make a reference to the real world.
- It is stripped down to visual elements such as shapes, lines, and colors that are
employed to translate a particular feeling, emotion, and even a concept.
Non-representational art takes nothing from reality. It is created purely for aesthetic reasons. The intent of Non-objective
art is to use the elements and principles of art in a way that results in a visually stimulating work. It is purely that simple.

CLASSIFICATION AND SUBJECT OF ART
If you want to paint or draw, but you need some ideas and inspiration, remember that subjects
in art can be anything you want them to be - whatever your imagination conjures up. The most
important thing is to choose a subject matter that interests you - something that you can happily
immerse yourself in while working on your piece.
