1. Compare Philippine Arts to the Japanese and Chinese Arts.

2. How did Art become a reflection of Philippine society? 
Answers:

1. Philippine, Japanese, and Chinese art are all different in showing their art. Philippine art
is more on architecture and traditional dances. Here in the Philippines, we do have a lot
of historical churches and one of the famous was the San Agustin church and the Manila
Cathedral. Philippine art is also well known in traditional dances because we have a lot
of different ethnic groups around the country. While the Chinese art they are using
calligraphy to show their art. They also assured that the measurements of each of their
art was well. You can say that in terms of art the are perfectionist. And lastly the
Japanese art. Japanese art so attached to nature. Because of that their art is more about
of nature. But even though that their art is more on nature there is also some influence
of Chinese in their art.

2. Art becomes a reflection of the Philippine society. Specially now that we are facing a
pandemic. We came into a roller coaster of emotion. Because at first, we are happy that
classes are suspended like that but as a time goes by, we are slowly felt sad because we
are not allowed to go outside or to see our loved ones because of the restrictions. So,
art becomes a reflection of the Philippine society. We discovered some talents like
singing, painting, and dancing or even playing instruments. At this point we can see that
Filipinos are very creative in showing or performing arts. We can turn a boredom into
something that is productive. By the arts we are free to express our feelings or emotions
without the judgement of others. Also, art helps people to heal and to have a peace in
their mind.
