ACTIVITY 1:

Examine the following series of images and decide if they are art or not.

1. Is this Art? Why or why not?

Yes this is an
art. This is an
example of a
monumental
structures. This
monument is called
Gate away of the
Sun,
a monolith carved in
the form of an arch or gateway at the site of Tiahuanaco by
the Tiwanaku culture. It is an artistic culture of an era that
imbued with a strong affirmation of positive social values.

2. Is this Art? Why or why not?

Yes this is an art. The picture shows a drawing of a

child. When you say drawing, it is a graphic art which is
characterized by an emphasis on form or shape which have
a wide availability of drawing instruments (pencil, pen,
crayons, chalk, etc.) makes drawing one of the most
common artistic activities. Also, drawing is an expression
and one of the simplest and most efficient means of
communicating visual ideas; we can express what we feel
through drawing.

3. Is this Art? Why or why not?

Yes, since this is a sculpture. As we all know, a

sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in
three dimensions and made of a material substance that
has mass. This readymade sculpture is called fountain, a
porcelain urinal made by Marcel Duchamp. It is a urinal
but Duchamp submitted it to an exhibition as a work of
art.
 4. Is this Art? Why or why not?

Yes this is an art because this is not only just a

normal hand-woven or weaving, but this talented man in
the picture created the World’s first-hand woven car. He
customized his Volkswagen pick-up truck using hand-
woven raffia fibres. How artistic and unique that is, right?

Weaving is not only for livelihood, but it also makes

art by using such beautiful wooden tools like looms
huttles, frames and more, that can be transformed into
creative and useful baskets, chairs, bags, and many more. This is not just a normal job, but
it takes a creative mind to make this kind of masterpiece. That is why this is called as an art.

5. Is this Art? Why or why not?

Yes, considering that mask is a man-made and has dimensions on

it. Mask-making in Africa is an art that is passed down from father to son,
together with the meaningful experiences that the mask carry. African
masks are well known art form of Africa and it come in all different colors:
red, black, orange, and brown.

ANALYSIS:

1. What is your definition of Arts?

For me, an Art is comfort. You can express yourself and feelings by just making any kind
of arts you preferred in that certain time. Art is beyond than just a drawing, sculpture, song
or painting, it is an expression of your true self─ about what you feel that cannot be
expressed through words.
Art doesn’t have any age limit, it doesn’t matter if you’re young or adult, even retired
ones has the right to express themselves through art and that makes an art special for every
one of us and it doesn’t need to be perfect. It is just between you and your artwork, it has a
strong bond that no one can ever break it apart, even others don’t understand and believe in
you.
Art is also always be there that you can lean on when in times you are down or sad, just
get you pen, pencil, crayons, or whatsoever. It is your escape from the cruel world, and you
can create such amazing imaginations into reality through your masterpiece.

2. Why do we make arts?

 Art is many things and there’s so many reasons why we make art based on the
artists’ preference. The purposes, motivations, intentions, and inspirations behind the art
are endless. Below are just some of the reasons why we make art:

 To form part of a ritual, ceremony, or cultural tradition

 To practice faith in a more tangible way
 To record a moment of the past
 To teach something as an alternative to verbal or written methods
 To tell a story from literature, myths, religion, and poetry
 To create someone’s portrait
 To allow the artist to express oneself
 To reflect the beauty of nature, a landscape, or a city
 To teach people. Art can be quite educational too, especially when it is used not
only to provide aesthetics but also serve as an aid to educational materials.
 To depict reality and ideals
 To provoke thinking and discourse
 To illustrate their dreams
 To experiment with different elements
 To experiment qualities of a particular medium

3. What do you think are the purposes of arts?

Everything in this world has its own purpose and the purpose of art is self-
expression and to make the world more beautiful. It is not only to produce product but to
produce thinking. To turn our imaginations into reality by making art; to express the
contents of the human mind and spirit; to entertain, for the purpose of relaxing or
entertaining the viewer; to express culture (not only the artifacts of a culture but the
articulation of the ideas that define a society);
and many more.

ACTIVITY 2:

What do you think is the message of Pacita Abad in

this masterpiece?

Pacita Abad was known for her colorful

paintings, mixed media collages and
assemblages.  Abad is an itinerant painter whose
extensive travels were a powerful source of
inspiration, fuelling her material investigations and
increasingly abstract artworks, and galvanising
her to the socio-political plight of women across
the globe.
 In her artwork, “If My Friends Could See Me Now, 1993”. For me, Abad wants to relay a
message for us to see her experience and journey during her stay in America as an immigrant.
And show us that as an Asian-American artist, she finally achieved her dreams─ to become a
famous artist and show her artworks not only in the Philippines but in the entire world.

1. What is/are the purpose/s of art?

The purpose of art is no other than, self- expression. You can express what you feel,
your ideas and experiences in life through making art. Its purpose is to make the world more
beautiful as it was. To convey message that is hard to speak out. It also an expression of
cultural and historical times for everyone to see the importance of such artwork, and why it
needs to be preserved and remembered.

2. Why art is important in the teaching and learning process?

Every young person deserves a complete and competitive education that includes the
arts. Art is important in teaching and learning process as it present difficult concepts visually,
that make the students understand it easier and better. The arts provide many opportunities
for students to demonstrate their skills through authentic performance. Enable them to grow
in confidence and learn how to think positively about themselves. It is not only about
learning other academic subjects but it also foster higher levels of thinking that will be useful
to the student’s life outside the school. Through the arts, children learn to observe, interpret,
see different perspectives, analyze, and synthesize. Art education also connects students
with their own culture as well as with the wider world.

3. In what way does art contribute to the physical, social and spiritual well-being of man?

Art is a very powerful form of recreation that contributes development of a man. It helps
us in many ways in order to become a better version of ourselves ─ Physically, Socially, or
Spiritually.

Physically, art help our body relax, eases tension in the body, and reduce stress. And
studies show that certain acts of creativity (such as writing) enhance the immune system
that improve physical health and decrease medical visits.
 Socially, as an Art is an expression, and a form of communication, it can create a
connection with other people, particularly with fellow artists. Making an artist feel support
from the community. As art is a language as they say, it also helps in delivering a message
through visual art that makes a message easier to understand. This is a useful teaching
method, especially for kids. Art also help us build societies where people value honestly,
openness, cooperation, tolerance and respect. The arts are also vital to the economic health
of cities, a benefit that cannot be understated in the overall health of communities.

Through art, spiritually it helps us devote our beliefs and faith. It inspire, give a sense of
purpose, and uplift the spirit of a person that has always been a part of an artist's life.

4. How the arts influence the Philippine educational system?

Arts influence the Philippine educational system in a way that it is a strong art program
include intensified that helps the Filipino students be motivated to learn, better school
attendance, increased graduation rates, improved multicultural understanding, and the
development of higher-order thinking skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. It has
connections between learning in the visual arts and the acquisition of knowledge and skills
in other areas. Arts is also important in Philippines educational system since educators
believe that "students can arrive at their own knowledge, beliefs, and values for making
personal and artistic decisions. In other terms, they can arrive at a broad-based, well-
grounded understanding of nature, value, and meaning of arts as a part of their own
humanity" (Consortium of National Arts Education Associations, pp. 18–19).
