LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET No. 1
Name of Student KIMBERLY MAE ASIS
Learning Area/Grade Level X- DESCARTES Arts-10
Date 6/4/21

I. Introductory Concept

In this quarter, the modern techniques and trends in photography, film,


printmedia, digital media, and product and industrial design will be explored. Most
notably the talent, creativity, and quality workmanship of Filipino artists and designers in
all these fields will be recognized and celebrated. Not only have these brought
Philippine artistry to the world’s attention, but they have opened up an entire range of
opportunities for young Filipinos to develop and apply these talents and earn a living
while doing so.

Technological advances continue to be a major driving force in the directions that


each of these art forms has taken. Among the results have been exciting innovations in
materials manipulation, coloring and embellishment techniques, and creation and
production processes applied to all today’s media—whether physical and tangible, or
virtual in cyber space.

II. Learning Skills from the MELC’s

 Identifies art elements in the various media-based arts in the Philippines


(A10EL-IIIb-1)

 Identifies representative artists as well as distinct characteristics of media-based


arts design in the Philippines (A10EL-IIIa-2)

Specific Objectives:

At the end of this learning activity sheet, you should be able to:

1. Identify the art elements commonly use in photography;


2. Use graphic organizers in presenting the major works and significant roles of
these photographers as artists; and
3. Express appreciation of the work of these photographers through creative

III. Activities.

Photography.

In its early stages during the late 19th century, photography was viewed as a purely
technical process, that of recording visible images by light action on light-sensitive
materials. In fact, its very name—from the Greek “photos”(meaning light) and
“graphos”(meaning writing)—states this process literally.

In comparison to the highly-regarded arts of painting and sculpture, then, photography


was not immediately considered art. But it was not long before the artistry of 20th
century photographers elevated this “light writing” to an aesthetic form in its own right.

Activity 1. The Elements of Arts in Photography.

Activity 2. The Photographer as Artist.

Ready. 1, 2, 3, Click!

Focusing a camera at a subject and clicking the shutter is photography as process.


Discerning a significant moment or a unique expression, framing it in the camera
viewfinder with an eye for composition, and then clicking the shutter is photography as
art. That discernment and that eye for composition are the factors that elevate a
photographer from a mere recorder of images to an artist.

Activity 3. Photography as Communication.

Read me!

http://s3.freefoto.com/images/1 3/53/13_53_21_prev.jpg

Being a modern art form means that photography is now viewed as being more than
just beautiful. It is also considered one of the most powerful means of communication.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CAMARINES NORTE


Eco Athletic Field, F. Pimentel Ave., Daet, Camarines Norte 4600
camarines.norte@deped.gov.ph
DepEd Camarines Norte
Next to the printed word, the photographic image is today’s most important means of
conveying information and ideas, expressing emotions, even championing causes.

This power comes from two distinctive characteristics of photography: immediacylens


captures the image objectively; the resulting photograph is regarded as “true to life”
and “of the moment.” At the same time, the camera takes in every detail of an image.
Thus, the photograph has a sense of completeness.
For these reasons, photographs are vital tools in communication fields such as
journalism, advertising, education, and even in courts of law. They have also been used
to eloquently speak out against social and political issues.

“What’s in a Photo?”

1. Cut out three (3) photographs from a magazine, calendar, poster, or brochure –
each expressing one of the following:

a. a commercial or business message


b. a social or political statement
c. artistic expression

2. Label each of your photographs with a creative title, expressing the particular
purpose you think it has.

3. Submit it to your subject teacher. Be ready if he/she will give you a parallel activity
related to your output. Be creative. Have fun!

a commercial or business message

A Wheel in Good Time: Wanderlust


 The picture shown above is a magnificent car that is placed almost between the
tropical land and the Himalayas. This picture is a commercial photography that has a
target to persuade people buy the car. It has a beautiful angle that can be
interpreted as wanderlust. I give it a title as “A Wheel in Good Time: Wanderlust”
because it looks like it does not have any particular destination; yet, the car is able to
travel the world and appreciate the beauty of it. Also, the reflection of car creates a
tremendous impact to the consumer because it tells us how cool the car is.
Nevertheless, the photography of this car is wonderful.

 In this picture, the element tone, space, and colours were highlighted, giving off a
breathtaking view. The tone and colour enhance its atmosphere, making the people
find the picture pleasant and has spectacular ambiance. Also, the use of space and
angle create emphasis to the car that makes it noticeable in the viewer’s eyes. As
we stare to the picture, we can observe that it has almost soft texture and a little bit
rough texture in both sides, creating a fantastic balance to the picture. The angle of
the shot also helps to make sure that the car would not be outshine by the
background.

a
social or political statement

Stand as One: People as a Loudhailer


 This picture tells us that people become braver when they want to fight what is right
for them. I give a title to the picture “Stand as one: People as a Loudhailer” because
the picture also shows the determination they have, and they would not leave their
opinions even there are some powerful people that blocking them in seeking justice.
The powerful people is can be represented by the policeman in the left side. They
are not afraid of those higher rank people and they keep their line to the destination
they are aiming—to be the voice of citizen. They wanted to stop the killing in Tibet,
they wanted to be heard and seek for justice. The picture shows the emphasis of the
line, making it neat and suspenseful at the same time. The emotions were shown in
the picture and the flag gives off strong aura in the picture. The space also helps the
image to convey its message that there is an invisible boundary between people
seeking justice and to the authority.

An artistic expression

Black Bird
 This picture has a wonderful shot that creates movement. Also the vibes of
monochrome syndrome has enhances the picture, which helps to express its
emotions. I titled it “Black Bird” because when we stare at the picture, we can feel
that the girl wanted to embrace the freedom. If we immerse ourselves in the picture,
it has a gloomy and dramatic vibes, and the tone element has been emphasized.
Also, her shadow tells us that she is a black bird that have been caught and put in a
cage. The cage is represented by the grills in the right side, and her shadow
overlaps to it. As she wanted to fly again, she tried to flaps her wings, even though
her wings (the shadow of her hair) are not yet read. As her hands pointing up, we
can tell that she is dreaming for the higher ground. She is a lost bird who wanted to
be free, aiming for a tree but end up in despair.
