A. Answer briefly
1. What is the difference between artist and artisan?
 The key distinction is that, whereas an artisan’s product or output has a
clear functional value, an artist’s product or output may not. Without
having any functional value, the output can be an expression of the
beauty of art itself. Artists create aesthetically pleasing works, whereas
artisan’s work is more concerned with accessorizing and functionality
than with aesthetics. Artist’s work is typically displayed in museums or
galleries, whereas artisan sell their crafts at fairs and shops. Perhaps,
artist is defined as a person who performs any of the creative arts while
artisan is a skilled worker who makes things by hand. Therefore,
artisan’s object has an artistic value while artist’s object has a clear
artistic value.

2. In what ways artists serve society? How about artisans?

 Artists serves the society mainly by the entertainment they could offer
people as they can evoke sorts of emotions from its viewers. Also, by this
effect on people. Artists can also serve the society by using their arts as
medium to either raise awareness or concerns, or to speak up for the
society itself as arts can be a language to communicate. Artisan sector
can also has the ability to transform perceptions of refugees. Artisan
enterprises around the world increase local incomes, preserve ancient
cultures, and provide employment for hundreds of thousands of people.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 5.2.1

A. Mastery of Concepts
1. Explain the concept of Imagination.
 Imagination is an aspect that is an extension of creativity, which in turn
is an extension of art. Art allows a person to express their feelings,
stories, and emotions all on paper, creating a story about themselves and
conveying themselves transparently to others in a different way. In
addition, the human mind is regarded as a passive recorder of sense
impressions in neo-classical literary theory. Imagination is thought to be
a mode of memory that draws images from memory and this represents
sense objects that are not physically present. Second, the imagination is
thought to be the power that first connects disparate impressions to form
images of things that do not exist in the sense. For example,
mythological characters are the creations of the imagination. As a result,
neo-classicists believe that imagination is a combining power rather than
a creative one. On the other hand, the romantics elevate imagination to a
higher level. It is a highly creative faculty for them. It not only rearranges
materials, but it also shapers, orders, modify, and colors sense objects
using the mind’s light. Imagination combines various elements to create
 a new reality. It is a mental ability that allows the mind to see beyond the
physical world.
2. Enumerate and explain at least (5) out of the eight (8) modes of Imagination.
2.1 Dreams are unconscious forms of imagination made up of images, ideas,
emotions, and sensations that occur during certain stages of sleep. Dreams
show that every concept in our mind has its own psychic associations and the
ideas we deal with in everyday life are by no means as precise as we think.
These are unconscious forms of imagination that we engage in while sleeping.
Scientist are still trying to figure out what these strange little nights visions are
all about – about for those of us that dreams, it can be a fun and sometimes
scary way to access our imagination.

2.2 Motional Imagination is concerned with manifesting emotional

dispositions and extending them into emotional scenarios. We need
imagination to fuel our emotional states, we need to imagine the monsters to
feel fear, imagine the scenarios playing out in our lives to make us feel anxious.

2.3 Imagination fantasy creates and develops stories. This is when you’re able
to generate new ideas from scratch and can be guided or unguided. This is
what most writers and artists are good at. We usually have a moment of
inspiration and go off to explore wherever the fantasy may take us.

2.4 Strategic Imagination is concerned about vision of ‘what could be’ the
ability to recognized and evaluate opportunities by turning them into mental
scenarios, seeing the benefits, identifying the types and quantities of resources
required for taking particular actions. And the ability to weight up the issues in
a strategic manner. Therefore, this is primarily concerned with ‘what could
be…’ It’s the ability to spot opportunities and visualize what might happen if
you were to take them. People who have an excellent strategic imagination will
have a realistic understanding of their own skills, and be able to spot
opportunities to develop.

2.5 Empathy is a capacity we have to connect to others and feel what they are
feeling. It helps a person know emotionally what others are experiencing from
their frame and reference. It allows our mind ‘to detach itself from one’s self
and see the world from someone else’s feelings, emotions, pain, and reasoning.
It can assist us in seeing other realities, alternative meanings of situations,
which may consist of many layers. Therefore, this is a capacity that human
beings have to mentally detach from ourselves and experience from their point
of view. It allows us to take an imaginative stroll in someone’s shoes.

A. Essay
1. What is appropriation?
 Appropriation in art is the use of pre-existing objects or images
with little or no transformation applied to them. The use of
appropriation has played as significant role in the history of the
arts. Therefore, appropriation in art and art history refers to the
practice of artists using pre-existing objects or images in their art
with little transformation of the original. In addition, appropriation
artists deliberately copy images take possession of them in their
art. They are not stealing or plagiarizing, nor are they passing off
these images as their very own. Appropriation artists want the
viewer to recognize the images they copy. They hope that the
viewer will bring all of his original associations with the image to
 the artist’s new context, be it a painting, a sculpture, a collage, a
combine, or an entire installation.

B. Suggested Activity:
1. Look for an Artwork that utilizes appropriation, examine its elements, and present
your opinions in class.

Above is a contemporary example of appropriation, a painting that barrows its

narrative and composition from Picasso’s infamous Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.
In this work, Colesscott has developed Picasso’s abstraction and ‘Africanism’ in
response to European influences. Colescott has made this famous image his
own in terms of color and content, while still acknowledging his source.
Although there is historical reference to Picasso, this is undeniably the artist’s
own work. Other types of appropriation frequently lack such distinct
distinctions between the original and the newly appropriated piece.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 5.2.2.2

Explain the three stages of experience.
 In Art making, the artist undergoes three stages of experience which are
popularly known a pre-production or subject development, production, or
medium manipulation and post-production or exhibition.
Pre-production
 Pre-production refers to the preliminary phase of research,
casting, and location scouting. Pre-production is the planning
process and execution of every task that must take place before
production begins. It usually begins once the script is finished and
involves the director, cinematographer, producers, first assistant
director, production managers, production coordinators, and
location scouts. Pre-production in the theatre or performing arts
includes the following activities: them conceptualization,
scriptwriting, auditions for cast selection, casting or role
assignment, and workshops. During practice, keep the following
things in mind: spacing, staging, lighting, and music. Set
rehearsals and press releases should be prioritized during the pre-
production phase to ensure the quality of performance, and people
involved in the production are also important.
Production
 The action of making or manufacturing from components or raw
materials, or the process of being so manufactured, is referred to
as production. Production refers to the actual filming of the video.
The video production company you’re working with will bring their
crew, equipment, talent (actors), and all necessary props to the
location to capture all of the necessary footage. If you include
motion graphics, animation, or voice-overs in your video, the
material will be created during the production stage. The proper
presentation of performing arts is referred to as production. When
more than one product is set, directors must observe and evaluate
the performance of the casts in the next set. It’s also important to
thank the sponsors and people involved in the production.
Post-production
 Post-production is a part of the filmmaking, video production,
audio production and photography processes. All stages of
production that occur after shooting or recording individual
program segments are referred to as post-production. Evaluation,
critiquing, issuing successful press releases, and sending thank
you messages and letters all part of post-production. There is also
the possibility of re-staging schedules. Post-production is thus a
choreography of images and sound that propels the genre. Every
element that we hear and see works together to build suspense in
a horror film, set up the slapstick tension in a comedy, or create
heart-stopping sequences in an action film.
