Arts as a Common Human Possession (1957)
About this film
Dr. Adler begins this subject with a discussion of the generic notion of art as against the restricted notion of art as painting and sculpture. Art, he says, is skill in makingall men are artists and art is indispensable to human life. He includes a comparison of human making with divine making and animal making. Dr. Adler then turns to a distinction between art and naturethe artificial and the natural. This relation of art to nature, he says, has a bearing on the distinction between human making and divine making. He also makes a distinction between art and science and concludes by tracing some of the early art forms. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
