“The texture of this picture suggests that it was in a
rough terrain of the mountain. The perspective in which
this was taken allows a viewer to see the vastness of the
mountain ranges and the cloudy but lighted skies above.
As the picture suggests that it is rough, the surroundings
is purely natural in its forms. All in all unity is achieved for
the pic suggests a harmony of what is seen giving it a
sense of completeness.”

difference to the resulting development of the picture.’

E. LESSON PROPER.

‘Our curriculum in arts for this quarter is about media-

based arts and design in the Philippines and we will
concentrate on photography this afternoon.’

(Paste the phrase Media-Based Arts and Design in the

Philippines – Photography)

(Paste the photos of these renowned photographers)

‘Photos can be taken either as a process or taken as an

art.’

(Allow students to read from their book)

Ask: ‘What do you think is the difference between taking

photos as a process and photos taken as an art?’

‘Photography as a process is when a photographer

focuses a camera at a subject and just clicking the
shutter, while a photography is an art is when the
photographer discerns a significant moment or a unique
expression, framing it in the camera viewfinder with an
 eye for composition, and then clicking the shutter.’
‘Indeed the photographer may position lighting, modify
lens setting or use filters to create an effect being
conceptualized.’

(Show a picture of a photographer standing for effect.)

‘Other photographers would go further by using

advanced softwares to manipulate the images with a
myriad photo enhancement technique, like the one you
have in your celfone apps as well’.

(Show own celfone with its own editing features.)

‘Whether the image is left untouched or digitally altered

the resulting photographs can be impactful.’

Say: ‘Being a modern art form means that photography is

now viewed as being more than beautiful but also
considered as one of the most powerful means of
communication.’

(Paste the phrase Photography as Communication)

‘This power comes from 2 distinctive characteristics of

photography: immediacy and detail

(Paste the words Immediacy and Detail)

‘Photos taken by a camera has a sense of authenticity or

validity and since the lens captures the image objectively,
taking in every detail of the image, the result photos is
regarded as ‘true to life’ and ‘of the moment’ at the
same time has a ‘sense of completeness’.’

F. APPLICATION

‘So, since pictures can be a powerful means of

communication in conveying messages, with your group
again, observed not only the elements and principles of
arts but also observed how these pictures communicate
to you and what do you think is the message you think it
conveys or sends.’

‘After 5 min give your observations and take time to

make your reflections in reaction to what you see in the
picture.’

(Distribute pictures to each group)

Give these
following questions in assisting group
discussions.
(Guided questions:
1. What are the details you see
in the picture?
2. What makes you realize that this is an image with
a message?
3. How does the image give you a sense of
 completeness with its message?)
4. Observed also the elements and principles of arts
in the pictures.

Possible answers from pic 6

‘I saw a beach littered with so many plastics and other
man-made trash. The beach should have been beautiful
to stay and swim in it but it saddens me that it destroys
the natural beauty of the beach. The thought that this
could happen to all beaches around the world through
our recklessness in throwing trash have made us realize
that we have to conserve its naturalness.
