G-ARTS FINAL OUTPUT

1. Which perspective do you think provides the most adequate

presentation of what the painting implies to its readers? How does that
explanation affect you as a student in relation to your own
understanding of art?

 Looking at the painting as it is without even knowing the

backstory of it or the purpose behind the painting, I could
already tell that the person in the center is the main character
on the way he is surrounded by all the people and how the
lightning accentuates his features a lot more making the viewer
of the painting focus on him. The way I understand the painting
based on the story was how we should be prepared to die for
what we believed in and I love how David painted this moment
right here where it shows the moment right before Socrates
death. When I view of this work, there’s somehow a mix of
emotions I felt when I look at Socrates how he was so composed
and stable even when he’s in a brink of death, how he’s so sure
and there’s no sign of fear or doubt in his face and somehow
sums up to me that there are people like Socrates nowadays
 who is ready to placed their lives on the line for their ideals and
beliefs.

2. Do you think that being in a medical field is an art in itself as you

study the human anatomy? Site a particular aspect about the human
anatomy that you think is an art in itself, and why?

 Of course, as the popular saying goes ”Nursing is an Art” I

believed everything that nurses do is mixed with art. The
nervous system particularly appalled me the most on how
complicated our body works and how every little details is done
with so much creativity. Looking at how complex those networks
of nerves are and when you look at them closely on how they
intertwined with each other and develops into its own matrix of
interrelated parts makes it so astonishing and mind blowing.

3. Explanation

 What I did in soap carving was I chose a very simple icon of

nursing and that is a person who’s wearing a cap. Throughout
my nursing journey from freshman to senior I’ve always done
my best and I know from the start that choosing this course and
profession demands a lot of work and seeing how I’m close to
reaching it makes it a lot fulfilling. I’ve got this far thanks to
everyone who have supported me and definitely there’s no
turning back now. I used this symbol for the reason that the cap
or Flossie is usually worn by student nurses to celebrate
accomplishments and most especially to welcome soon to be
graduating nurses.
