 Lesson 1
Sound and Silence

Lead to Music

What is one place in your school where you go to play? You go to the school
playground. You can hear many sounds here. What is one place in your school
where you go to read books? You go to the school library. It is silent in this place.

Learn Music
A sound is a tone that you can hear. In music, you can use the symbol│to
represent sound.

Silence is the absence of sound. In music, you can use the symbol to
represent silence.
Sound and silence are very different from each other. But they can be
combined to make a great piece of music.

 Lesson 2
The Steady Beat

Lead to Music

Have you seen drops of water from a leaking faucet falling into a basin on
your kitchen sink? Have you also listened to the ticking of a clock? What did you
notice? What did you hear?

Learn Music
The drops of water from the faucet fall in an even beat. The clock also ticks in
an even beat. In music, the even beat is called steady beat. It is repeated at a regular
pace.
A steady beat can be represented by a line (│). Say ta for each steady beat.
Look at the example.

Music for Life

What actions do you perform when you hear music? Sometimes when you
hear music, you move to its beat. You may nod your head, tap your fingers on your
lap, clap your hands, or stomp your feet. This is the beauty of having music in your
life. Experience it is as you move to its beat.

 Lesson 3
The Silent Beat

Lead to Music

Have you ever danced to nonstop music? How did you feel after some time?
Did you want to keep going? Or did you want to stop and rest for a while?

Learn Music
In music, a stop or pause is marked by a rest. A rest is a symbol that tells you
to stop or pause from singing or playing an instrument. That is why it is also called
the silent beat. You can use the symbol to mark a rest. You may say sh for each
silent beat.
How many lines with silent beats from the song “Mga Puno.” As you sing the
lines, tap your table to show the steady beat. Keep your hand above your table on
the silent beats.

The Divided Beat

Lead to Music

Look at the picture. What do you notice about each fruit? How many pieces
are there of each fruit?
Each fruit was cut or divided into two. In music, the steady bear can also be
divided to make two equal faster beats.

 Lesson 5
Simple Rhythmic Patterns

Lead to Music
Look around you. Do you find things with designs like
the ones you see on this page? Observe how the repetition in
the lines and shapes form the designs. The repetition produces
an element in art called pattern.

11
 Learn Music
There are also patterns in music. For instance, beats and rest, ( │,
, and ) can be together to form a set of beats and rests called
rhythmic pattern. A rhythmic pattern gives you the pace or time of a
piece of music.
These are examples of rhythmic patterns. Echo clap the rhythmic
patterns.

beats and rests of “Fruit Salad,” “Bahay Kubo,” and “Magandang Umaga Po.” What
do you notice about the repetitions of the beats and rests for each song?

12
 Lead to Music
A. Sing each song after your teacher sings it. Listen to the rhythmic pattern of each
song. Then think of body movements that you can use to accompany you as you
sing. Demonstrate the movements to the class.

Music for Life

Patterns are everywhere around you. They are found not only in nature, in art,
and music. They are also part of your everyday activities. For example, on school
days, you wake up, get ready for school, attend your classes, go home, do your
assignments, then go to sleep. In between these activities, you eat and do other
routinary tasks. When you know your pattern of activities, you can plan and prepare
for them. This way, your activities and tasks can become even more interesting and
enjoyable.

 Artistic Perception UNIT

Through Drawing 1

Most Children naturally want to draw and feel like making pictures of what
they see. Drawing is one of the most important creative activities children like you
can do. There is something magical about drawing. If you can describe the lines and
shapes of an object, then there is no reason why you cannot draw. You can make a
picture with few lines and shapes drawn together. You will get surprised that
drawing is easy. But why do some children still feel that they still cannot draw?
Another way of making your drawing more interesting is through storytelling.
You can express and communicate the ideas through drawing. In this unit, you will
surely have fun and find beauty in your drawing.

 Lesson 1
Portrait Drawing

Art Chart

16
 Many Children love to draw and enjoy it as a hobby. A hobby is an activity
that people do to relax. Reading, singing, and dancing are some of the usual hobbies
children have. Playing games or sports is another.
If you also want to make drawing as a hobby, all you need to begin with are
some drawing tools and materials. You may draw using pencils, crayons, and
charcoal sticks on paper or cardboard. You use a piece of chalk to draw on the
blackboard. Some people may use a twig from a tree to draw on the soil or sand.
Others can even draw on the bark of a tree or on a leaf using a pointed stick. You
can draw on almost any surface with simple drawing tools and materials.

Art Connect
Drawing is a way of seeing. There are a lot of things around you that you can
draw such as animals, people, plants, toys, and other objects. You can start drawing
faces of your family.
A drawing of a face is called a portrait. Drawing portraits is a great way to
develop your observation skills and to see the details of a person’s face. To draw
better portraits, you need to know the correct position of each feature, or part of the
face. You also need to know the correct size of each feature.
Drawing a portrait is not just about making a picture that looks exactly like
the person but it is also getting something to remember more about him or her.
Joey Velasco, a Filipino artist who created many portraits of children, had
inspired people with hope in life through his artworks. He was known as the
“heartist” painter. His works were created not only from imagination, but more from
the heart. He was gifted with such a great talent. Look at some of his artworks. What
do you find interesting in them?

Have you ever tried to draw your own face? A picture that you draw of
yourself is called self-portrait. Many Filipino artists like Fernando Amorsolo and
Juan Luna have created excellent self-portraits. Look at their words. What does
each portrait tell you?

Juan Luna, self-portrait Fernando Amorsolo, self-portrait

Face Shapes
Before you can draw your self-portrait, find out the shape of your face first.
The form of an object is called shape. The basic shapes are circle, oval, rectangle,
square, and triangle. To find out the shape of your face, look at your face in a
mirror. Trace the shape with your finger. You can also look at a photograph of
yourself and then trace the shape.
Do you know that your hand is usually as big as your face? Place your open
hand on your face. Try it and now you can begin with the actual shape of your face.
You can also use big letter U to draw for your face shape.

Lines for Facial Features

You will also draw lines for your facial features. A line is a continuous mark
that you draw from a dot or point to another dot or point on a surface.

18
 Different facial features use different kinds of lines. The two main kinds are
straight and curves. Straight lines may be vertical, horizontal, or vertical. Curved
lines may be spiral or wavy.

A vertical line goes up or down. A horizontal line goes side to side.

 Mayon Volcano Mt. Apo

Do you know that the Philippines is blessed with fascinating and interesting
natural views? Many tourists love to visit the different amazing places in the
country. Some of these popular sceneries include the Chocolate Hills in Bohol,
Banaue Rice Terraces in the Cordilleras, Mayon Volcano in Bicol, and Mount Apo
in Davao del Sur to name a few. All these wonderful and natural views are called
landscapes. You can show the beauty of these sceneries by making pictures through
landscape drawing.

Art Connect
A landscape drawing is an artwork in which the main focus is the natural
scenery or the view of what you see. This includes the mountains, hills, valleys,
rivers, forests, trees, flowers, and the sky. You can also include your home and
school landscapes.

21
 Your home and school are the places where you can learn many things.
Spending a lot of time in school for learning and playing as well is fun. Children can
be encouraged to keep the school grounds clean and beautiful just the way you do
at home. Cleanliness leads to good health and safety. Do you know that you can
show the beauty of your home and school landscapes? Yes, you can. You can make
pictures of them by drawing the textures and shapes of a variety of trees, flowers,
or bushes around to enhance the beauty of landscapes.
Many artists have shown different views of a place in their landscape
drawings. Fernando Amorsolo, a national artist, is known not only for his excellent
portraits but also for realistic landscapes. His painting Barrio Fiesta shows Filipinos
doing their activities on the farm by singing, dancing, and celebrating special
occasions aligned with a Philippine landscape.

22
Parts of a Landscapes Drawing
A landscape drawing is made up of three picture areas: the front, middle
ground, and background.
The front of a picture is the part that looks closest to the viewer. The objects
here are bigger and clearer than those behind. The background is the part that
looks farthest from the viewer. The objects here are the smallest and less clear.
Everything that is between the front and background parts makes up the middle
ground. The objects here are medium size.
A landscape drawing may also show the horizon, the imaginary line that
divides the sky from the ground and usually ate the eye level of the viewer.

Activity 1: My Family Summer Adventure

Summer is the time most Filipino families go out of town or even out of the
country for an adventure. If your family loves to travel, surely you have gone places
either by bus, car, van, boat, or airplane. You have also seen beautiful landscapes
made up of mountains, hills, plains, valleys, rivers, and other land and water forms.

23
 In this activity, you will draw a landscape based on what you see in one such
trip.

What You Will Need

∙ sheet of Oslo paper
∙ pencil
∙ crayons
What You Will Do
1. Close your eyes. Imagine that you and your family are going on a trip. It will be
an adventure as you travel to somewhere you had already been before. You
may also explore a new and exciting place.
2. Open your eyes. Recall the scenes you saw in your “travel.”
3. Start drawing your chosen scene on the sheet of Oslo paper using a pencil.
4. Outline your drawing using different colors of crayons.
5. Fill in any empty space in your drawing with other objects that will make your
picture look more interesting.
6. When you are done, study your drawing. Then, ask yourself the following
questions.
∙ What makes my drawing a nice picture?
∙ Which objects look closer to me?
∙ How do I show the distance of objects in the different parts of the landscape?
∙ What makes my drawing different from others?

Lesson 3
Still Life Drawing

24
 Art Chart

Drawing makes you become more aware of

the simple forms and shapes of objects around you. You can identify the object and
its basic shape. Once you can do this, it is easier for you to draw the object. If you
could do it with one object, surely you can do to it with other objects. You can even
put these objects together and arrange them in group. Then, you can make your own
still life drawing.

Art Connect
A still life is a drawing, painting, or picture of an object or a group of objects
that are not moving. It includes human-made or natural objects such as bowl of
fruits, basket of vegetables, or vase of flowers. It can also be a collection of your
toys, shoes, and many more. When drawing a still life, show not only the objects but
also the space around them. Space refers to the area that the objects occupy and the
empty parts around and between them. Positive space is a filled area or shape of an
object. Negative space is an empty or blank area that is around the positive shape of
an object.
Creating an interesting art composition is one of the difficult features of still
life drawing. It takes patience and a lot of practice in arranging a collection of
objects to make a pleasing still life picture. The objects can be created by
overlapping, putting them in correct proportion, or observing size relationships.
Proportion refers to the size of an object when compared to something else.

25
 Many artists have shown different skills in making their still life drawing.
Vicente Manansala, a national artist, has created many still life drawings of fish,
fruits, and kitchen native utensils among others.

Activity 1: Fruits and Veggies

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is good for your health. Fruits and
vegetables are healthy foods that are important to include in your everyday meals.
Healthy foods protect your body against many diseases. They are rich in vitamins,
minerals, and other nutrients.
Which fruits and vegetables do you like to eat? In this activity, you will
choose some of your favorite fruits and vegetables in you still life drawing. You can
draw them from real objects, plastic look-alikes, or a photograph.

What You Will Need

∙ plastic look-alikes, real, or a photograph of fruits and vegetables
∙ plastic bowl, basket, or tray
∙ sheet of Oslo paper
∙ pencil
∙ crayons
What Will You Do
1. Arrange the fruits and vegetables that you have chosen on a flat surface. You
may put them together in a bowl, basket, or tray. Remember that the objects
may overlap.

26
2. See the basic shape of each object before drawing your still life.
3. On the sheet of Oslo paper, draw lightly the different shapes and sizes of the
fruits and vegetables. You may include the container, if you have arranged them
in one.
4. Draw a horizontal line below the center for the table edge. Then outline the
fruits, vegetables, and other details of your still life using crayons.

27
5. When you are done, look at your still life. Then, ask yourself the following
questions.
∙ How do I arrange fruits and vegetables in one still life?
∙ What basic shapes do I see in the fruits and vegetables?
∙ Does overlapping of objects give magic in my drawing?
∙ What makes my drawing a good still life?

Concepts (Big Ideas)

∙ Drawing helps you develop the freedom to express and communicate what you
feel.
∙ The elements of art, such as line, shape, color, and texture, can create something
magical through drawing.
∙ Some art principles, such as balance, proportion, and variety, are also applied in
drawing to create more attractive and interesting artworks.
∙ You create more pictures by drawing portraits, landscapes, and still lifes.
∙ Drawing provides a direct connection with reading, writing, painting, and other
creative activities.

A person with excellent physical and mental condition is said to be healthy.
To stay healthy, you should eat the right kinds of food. If you do not eat right, you
may suffer from a condition called malnutrition.

Malnutrition is a condition of poor nutrition. This can happen if you do not

eat the right kinds of food. This can also be an effect of eating too little or too much
of certain foods. Eating too little food leads to undernutrition. Eating too much
food leads to overnutrition.

eating habits?

Health Watch
Following good eating habits will help you become strong and healthy. You
should make these habits part of your everyday life.
1. Eat meals regularly. Make sure to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner regularly. Do
not forget to eat breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day.

Children who eat breakfast do better during the day. They have more energy to
do their work at home and in school. They usually have less problems with
malnutrition.

61
 You may also have a healthful snack between breakfast and lunch, and one
between lunch and dinner. What do you eat during recess and merienda time?

2. Drink eight to ten glasses of water a day. You

lose water when you sweat, urinate, and
breathe. You should replace the water you
lost
by drinking plenty of water. You need water to
help digest the food you eat. Water also helps
remove waste products from your body.

Drink three glasses of milk every day too. Drinking milk will help you develop
strong bones and teeth. Milk also keeps you healthy.
3. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat them
either
as part of your daily meals or as snacks. Fresh
fruits
and vegetables contain vitamins that help your
body fight sickness. Vitamins are nutrients that
help protect you from getting sick easily. What
fruits and vegetables have you eaten this week?

with clean hands. Also use clean eating utensils
at all times. Spoons, forks, knives, plates, and
cups should be kept clean all the time.
