Art Appreciation

I. Observe Francisco Goya’s “The Third of May 1808”. Compare and

contrast the work with Juan Luna’s Spoliarium” ( research this
artwork online). Do not mind the historical context of the work yet.
Just try to observe each one. Discuss the possible interpretations of
the painting. Answer the following questions:
A. What kind of event is being portrayed in the paintings? What
emotions/s are the artists trying to evoke? For what reason?
B. As mere, frail human beings, why do you think we have such
artworks to process the emotion?
C. How did the artists elicit the emotions of the narratives through
the subject matter?

II. Essay: Directions: Construct a response to the given questions.

Choose only two (2) questions from the following: ( 10 points)
A. Discuss the difference between imagination and creativity. When do we
say man is creative?
B. How can you utilize the arts to express yourself, your community and
your relation to others and with the environment?
C. If you were an artist, what kind of artist will you be? What are will you
explore? Support your answer.
D. Art is universal because it is popular. Art is good because it is universal.
Explain.

III. Bring out a short bond paper and draw a bridge using a straight line
either it is vertical, diagonal or horizontal. You are not allowed to use
curved lines, use only pencil or pen.

Answer
I
1. Both paintings portrayed a tragic execution of the Spanish insurgents.
2. Most people believe that audiences' ability to be moved by artworks is a totally normal
and unproblematic phenomenon. It only seems senseless that we can experience dread
 when confronted with menacing creatures on TV, grief or sympathy for imaginary
people, and happiness while listening to positive, cheery music. This might be the
reason so many of us are art buyers in the first place. Many of us believe that good art
shouldn't alienate us.
3. The emotion is centered around the experience of something new and unexpected and
can be elicited by sensory incongruity. Art can elicit surprise when expectations about
the work are not met, but the work changes those expectations in an understandable
way.
II
1. Creativity is the act of creating something in the real world, while imagination deals
with 'unreal' thoughts that are free from the confines of reality. Imagination is necessary
for creativity but not the other way around.
2. Through your work, you may communicate fully what you wish to convey. When
sketching or painting, accuracy is not truly important. In art, it's about how you express
yourself.
3. Paintings of well-known landscapes, stars that I see in the night sky, and pretty much
everything else related to nature and space would be my creations if I were an artist.
And post-impressionism is the kind of art that it would be.
4. No matter what shape they take, all artistic works have the same capacity to
communicate. One of the primary ways that art may reflect on social, political, and
cultural processes while also connecting us to the outside world is through art. Allow art
to serve as a symbol of people, customs, culture, liberty, peace, and unity.
