Answer the following questions.

1. Discuss the concept of soulmaking.

 The word 'making' in 'soul-making' comes from the Greek word poieo which means 'to
be the author or maker of something’. In philosophy, poiesisis is "the activity in which a
person brings something into being that did not exist before." The reason for that
term, for example rather than soul builder or soul-grower, is that the emphasis is on
creative, intelligent authorship. The making is not done by impersonal processes, but
by intelligent forces. Soulmaking is an alternate place to know oneself and to look at
the depths and meaning of what we do in our daily lives.” It is a step towards a deeper
comprehension of how the world is perceived and how his/her personality is seen.
Soul making is more than the soul's religious perspective. Soul refers to a person’s
individuality which resonates with his behavior. Since art is a human expression that
is highly valued and symbolic, a person typically uses different art forms to fulfill the
need to communicate.

2. How can improvisation contribute to the distinctive quality of artwork?

 Improvisation is an integral part of arts because it adds up to the totality of the work
of art. The unexpectedness of the changes brought about by improvisation makes
the artwork to have a distinctive quality that creates its individuality and identity.
Artists subscribe to the idea of allowing chances in the process of producing the
work. For instance, artists would want to capture the gloom brought about by an
approaching storm or the beauty of meteor shower at night. Since they do not
necessarily have absolute control over natural phenomena, their reliance on chances
many not necessarily produce their expected outcome. Artists allowing their subjects
do improvisation may have totally different result as well.

3. What are the two forms of forgery? Explain each.

 Forgery is the creation of falsified material or the altering of any writing with the
purpose of defrauding or cheating. The two forms of forgeries are simple and
stipulated. The simple forgery is one in which no attempt has been made to imitate
a genuine signature. The simulated is one in which the forger has attempted to copy
a known signature.
