ACTIVITY 1

Directions: Choose an object that you have difficulty using. Make a plan to change the form of this
object to make it more functional. Use the following as the format of your presentation:

Identify the object. Associate a picture for visualization.

Presentation of the Plan (in chronological and bulleted form)

The plunger is a device consisting of a rubber cup on a long handle, used to clear blocked
pipes by means of water pressure. Personally, I find the plunger difficult to use since it requires
strength and effort in order to use it. You have to estimate the force you need to exert since if it is
too much, the water from the toilet might splash onto you or the cup of the plunger might turn
over completely.

Plan:
 Remove the cup from the plunger.
 Get an accordion type of cup and stick it above the original cup of the plunger.
 Assemble it all together by sticking the handle and the remake cup of the plunger.
 Wait for the adhesive to dry.
 Since the accordion cup will do the work more efficiently, now you can use your plunger
with less hassle by simply pulling and pushing the handle effortlessly!
 ACTIVITY 1

Discuss the very important takeaways that you have learned from the lessons. Discussed.

I had several important insights from Lesson 1, which focuses on humanities and
the arts. First, focus on the relationship between humanities and arts. Humanities and arts have
always been essential to all human societies. Our knowledge can foster greater global knowledge
and establish the basis for a more socially engaged civilization. It can also encourage you to
think critically, perform creatively, and prosper in a fast-changing environment. They teach us
about the past and help us build the future. Furthermore, the roles of arts and diverse types of art
are functional and non-functional. Art is a representation of society and culture. It helps us
comprehend who we are as people and determines how we interact with one another. Overall, art
reflects our inner ideas, identity, feelings, and experiences.

ACTIVITY 4
Directions: Look intently and examine with appreciation and curiosity the artwork of Ang
Kiukok’s Pieta. Answer sensibly the questions below.

1.What do you think is the meaning behind the art piece Pieta by Ang Kiukok?

The message of this painting, in my perspective, is Jesus' sorrows and anguish.

Pieta highlights Jesus' suffering and agony during his lifetime, particularly his last days before
sentience to crucifixion as seen by the holes in the hand and legs of the painting.

2. Why do you think the artist made such artwork?

The artist made such artwork to highlight how he appreciates religious symbols as
a method of conveying his entire trust and faith in Jesus. He also created that artwork to
showcase the message behind Jesus’ suffering.

3. Were you affected by this artwork? In what ways?

Yes, I was emotionally moved by the artwork to the extent that I felt empathy for
what the painting was intended to convey. It was like being imprisoned within the box and
enduring Jesus' sorrows yet helpless to escape and with no one to seek rescue for.

4. Do you think that the artist was successful in conveying the message to his viewers? Why?
Why not?

Yes, I consider this artist effective in expressing his message to his audience
because I, as a viewer, felt the message and emotions he was trying to convey without relying on
words. From that painting, I understand the story he wanted to tell, his beliefs and ideas, or
convey the truth that the painter wanted to show to the viewers. I was disturbed, and art was
intended to disturb you.
5. Will you take a second look at this painting should you be given the chance to visit
an art gallery where it shall be featured and displayed? Why? Why not?

Definitely, I will have a second look at this painting if I'm given the opportunity
to visit an art gallery where it will be shown and presented since I'd want to observe the painting
up close and in more detail in order to appreciate it even more. I would focus on small details,
considering small details in artworks have such a significant influence that fully enhance the art
into a masterpiece.
