Conceptual and Perceptual Art

Conceptual Art



Conceptual art is based on the concept that art may exist solely as an idea and not in the physical realm. For advocates of this movement, the idea of a work matters more than its physical identity. 

Conceptual art was intended to convey a concept to the viewer, rejecting the importance of the creator or a talent in the traditional art forms such as painting and sculpture. Works were strongly based on text, which was used as much as if not more often than imagery. Conceptual art also typically incorporates photographs, instructions, maps, and videos. 


Conceptual art often makes use of materials such as photographs, maps, and written texts

Perceptual Art

Perceptual arts can also be known as perceptualism which means that the arts itself contain the mixture of philosophical explorations of art and psychology elements. Most perceptual arts are created in a form of multi-sensory experiential for the observer to interpret it in their own ways. These are few examples of the perceptual arts.

In practice, perceptual art may be interpreted as the engagement of multi-sensory experiential stimuli combined with the multiplicity of interpretive meanings on the part of an observer. Sometimes, the role of observer is obscured as members of the public may unwittingly or unknowingly be participants in the creation of the artwork itself. It is very often what is generally called "performance art."
