Concept Notes
The angklung is a musical instrument from Indonesia made of a varying number of bamboo
tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck and are
tuned to octaves, similar to Western hand bells. The base of the frame is held in one hand, while the
other hand shakes the instrument, causing a repeating note to sound. Each performer in an angklung
ensemble is typically responsible for just one pitch, sounding their individual angklung at the
appropriate times to produce complete melodies
Angklung as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The angklung is
popular throughout the world, but it originated in what is now West Java and Banten provinces in
Indonesia, and has been played by the Sundanese for many centuries. The angklung and its music
have become an important part of the cultural identity of Sundanese communities in West Java and
Banten. Playing the angklung as an orchestra requires cooperation and coordination, and is believed to
promote the values of teamwork, mutual respect and social harmony. On November 18, 2010,
UNESCO officially recognized the Indonesian angklung as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible
Heritage of Humanity, and encouraged the Indonesian people and the Indonesian government to
safeguard, transmit, promote performances and to encourage the craftsmanship of the angklung.[2]
According to Dr. Groneman, the angklung had already been a favorite musical instrument of the entire
archipelago even before the Hindu era. According to Jaap Kunst in Music in Java, besides West Java,
angklung also exists in South Sumatra and Kalimantan. Lampung, East Java and Central Java are also
familiar with the instrument. In the Hindu period and the time of the Kingdom of Sunda, the instrument
played an important role in ceremonies. The angklung was played to honor Dewi Sri, the goddess of
fertility, so she would bless their land and lives. The angklung also signaled the time for prayers, and
was said to have been played since the 7th century in the Kingdom of Sunda. In the Kingdom of
Sunda, it provided martial music during the Battle of Bubat, as told in the Kidung Sunda.
The oldest surviving angklung is the Angklung Gubrag, made in the 17th century in Jasinga,
Bogor. Other antique angklung are stored in the Sri Baduga Museum, Bandung.[5] The oldest angklung
tradition is called angklung buhun (Sundanese: "ancient angklung") from Lebak Regency, Banten.[6]
The angklung buhun is an ancient type of angklung played by Baduy people of the inland Banten
province during the seren taun harvest ceremony.
In 1938, Daeng Soetigna [Sutigna], from Bandung, created an angklung that is based on the diatonic
scale instead of the traditional pélog or sléndro scales. Since then, the angklung has returned to
popularity and is used for education and entertainment, and may even accompany Western
instruments in an orchestra. One of the first performances of angklung in an orchestra was in 1955
during the Bandung Conference. In 1966 Udjo Ngalagena, a student of Daeng Soetigna, opened his
Saung Angklung ("House of Angklung") as a centre for its preservation and development.

the Colors.
I. Preliminaries
A. Content Standard:
The Philippine as having a rich artistic and cultural tradition from pre-colonial to present time.
B. Performance Standard
Create artwork showing the characteristics elements of the art of Luzon (highland and lowland)
Exhibit completed artwork for appreciation and critiquing
Concept Notes
Color
Color can add interest and reality to artwork. The use of a 12-step
color wheel will help us understand color more effectively. When light
is reflected through a prism, colors can be seen
These colors are: Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Indigo, Blue and Violet
Remember the anagram: ROY G BIV
Color Wheel - A long time ago, artists decided that these colors would
be more useful to them if they were placed in a wheel fashion. This
became known as the color wheel
There are 3 primary colors:
Red, Yellow and Blue
These colors are primary for 2 reasons:
1. They can’t be mixed to be made
2. They make all the other colors on the color wheel
When you mix 2 primary colors together, you get a secondary color. For example:
Red and Yellow=Orange Red and Blue=Violet Yellow and Blue= Green
When you mix a primary and a secondary color together you get an intermediate (or tertiary) color For example:
Red and Orange= Red-Orange Yellow and Green=Yellow-Green
Blue and Green=Blue-Green Red and Violet=Red-Violet
Yellow and Orange=Yellow-Orange Blue and Violet=Blue-Violet
Color Schemes
Colors have temperatures
It is important that artists understand the effects of color when they are trying to get the viewers of their
art to feel a particular way.
Color Temperatures
Warm colors are those that have Reds, Yellows and Oranges. Warm colors seem to advance (or come
forward) in an artwork.
Cool colors are those that have Blues, Greens and Violets. Cool colors seem to recede (or go back into)
an artwork.

I. Preliminaries
A. Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates understanding of holistic health and its management of health
concerns, the growth and development of adolescents and how to manage its challenges
B. Performance Standard
The learner appropriately manages concerns and challenges during adolescence to
achieve holistic health.
Concept Notes
Now that you are already an adolescent, your personal health becomes your responsibility also. One way to do
this is to know your health status so that you can take the necessary actions to improve your health habits and practices.
In case there is a sign of a medical problem, early detection can help to prevent this from becoming serious that would
need appropriate treatment.
Monitoring health status can be done through regular health checkups and screening tests appropriate for you. It
is very important to know your health status. For school age children and adolescents, the school health personnel, such
as the school physician, school nurse, school dentist, as well as teachers and other school personnel perform checkups
and screening tests at the beginning and towards the end of the school year. This is part of the school health service
provided for students. Screening for blood pressure is added to the routine tests for height, weight, vision, and hearing.
Immunizations are also updated.
Adolescents who are experiencing growth spurts may also be screened for possible scoliosis. Scoliosis is the abnormal
curvature of the spine, which causes pain and affects growth. Additional tests may be recommended by your physician or
health care provider as needed.
Evaluation of the results of checkups and screening tests is done by the school health personnel. Students who may
need health counselling, referral, and follow up will be identified and guided for proper action.
As an adolescent, you should always remember that you are also responsible for your own health. Monitor your body
for changes that may need medical check up. This is often referred to as part of self- care. For girls, it is recommended to
check your breasts for possible masses or lumps the moment you start menstruating. You should do this monthly,
specifically one week after the onset of menstruation. You can do this while taking a shower or facing the mirror. This
breast self-examination (BSE) can help females check any abnormalities that might need medical help. Remember, there
are normal changes during and right before menstruation so it is better to perform BSE after menstruation. Develop the
habit of doing BSE monthly.
Scoliosis Screening
Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to the side. It is an
abnormal lateral or side-to-side curvature of the spine. This condition commonly
develops during growth spurt of adolescents. It affects girls more often. This
condition can be corrected if treated early before the bones have fully developed.
In the school, your school nurse or your health teacher can do the scoliosis screening test. During the test, the
school nurse will observe your posture for signs of scoliosis. Early detection can prevent scoliosis from progressing.
Screening Procedure
3. Palms of the hands are facing each other and arms hang down, and are relaxed. The head is down.
One side of rib cage and/or the lower back showing uneven symmetry.
Curve in the alignment of the spine.
It is very important that you are aware of any change in your body. Any deviation from the normal must be
reported to your parents so that you can seek medical advice. You can go to your school clinic to seek advice from the
health personnel there. Your teachers can also help you. Don’t wait for your health problem to get worse. You have to act
now.
Remember that the school health personnel, so with your barangay health personnel, are there to help maintain
the health of the students/people in the school or community. Avail of any health service they offer.
