REACTION PAPER

Mga Tagik kag Hulak

Contemporary Arts and Media Literacy Symposium
Excitement was the first word that hit me when I heard somebody that
has great experience in the field of art will teach us their styles and strokes in
their own perspective.
Mga Tagik kag Hulak, one of the most memorable symposiums Ive ever
had. The first speakers were from the Panay Bukidnon Ethnic Group which is
located at Calinog, Iloilo. They have their own identity which differ them from
other Ethnic groups, these examples are the Binukot Tradition and their kind of
clothings. The Binukot Tradition secludes a young person with the expectation
that seclusion will result in a higher value placed on the individual by marital
suitors in the future. But, unfortunately their elders decided to stop the Tradition
for some educational reasons. They stopped the tradition because once you are
already secluded you cant attend school. Nowadays the Panay Bukidnon Tribe
has a lot of Professionals in the different sectors. Some of them already had
Doctorals and Masterals. Lastly their last Binukot Maiden already died.
Next was the Visual Arts by Mr. Kristoffer George Brasileo. The speaker
introduces us to the Visual Arts world. Mr. Brasileo taught us some of his styles
on how to start and how to be a better artist. He also answered some of our
unanswered thoughts about Visual Arts.
Next is Through the Lenses by Mr. Kyle Fermindoza. Mr. Fermindoza
taught us the basics of Photography, the meaning of photography, and some of
his own styles when it comes to photography. He taught us the friends of the
photographer which is the Aperture, Shutter Speed and the ISO. He taught us on
how to use and the purpose of these 3 basics of photography. He also taught us
which styles of pictures that is good to the peoples eyes. He also lectured the
main purpose of the Rule of thirds.
I conclude that this kind of symposium changes our perspective in the
means of art.
