Analysis

1. Describe each picture.

➢ POTTERY
The picture is an image of pottery making. Pottery is the art of making
containers, sculptures, and other objects made out of clay. In this image, the clay
is shaped to form a container/ jar by continuously giving form through the hands.
This art or picture depicts on how therapeutic it is because your mind and energy
are just focusing on the clay while it is spinning. Also, this picture shows that
pottery making is a little bit messy to do.

➢ BASKET WEAVING
Basket weaving is one of the known things or crafts to do. The basket is
constructed from bamboo and rattan and is often a combination of the two. This
type of craft is also usually hand-made to really secure its quality and standard.
This basket also is much made for transportation and farm work, food service and
storage, fishing and trapping, clothing, and carrying personal items. Additionally,
upon making this craft, focus, energy, determination, creativity, and mindset are
really required because making this is not easy at all.

1. Describe ideas reflected on each picture.

➢ POTTERY
Pottery is the art of creating vessels and other items out of clay and other
ceramic materials and then firing them at high temperatures to give them a tough,
long-lasting shape. Stoneware, porcelain, and earthenware are the principal types.
Pottery is another name for the location where a potter creates such items.
Pottery can teach us numerous life lessons, such as patience, empathy,
tolerance, and acceptance of the fact that not everything will go as planned. The
study of pottery is crucial to understanding society and re-creating the past. With
the development of diverse cultures, ceramic styles altered. It represents the
social, economic, and environmental circumstances in which civilization flourished,
aiding historians and archaeologists in understanding our past.

➢ BASKET WEAVING
Basket weaving is the process of weaving or sewing pliable materials into
three-dimensional artifacts, such as baskets, mats, mesh bags, or even furniture.
The best basket weaving materials include bamboo, reeds, honeysuckle, vines,
and different types of grass. For Filipinos, baskets are a symbol of their country's
importance in agriculture and culture. Various indigenous communities have
utilized it as a status symbol for women or as containers and traditional bags for
the products of the farmers in the Philippines.
