ART APPRECIATION

-Lord Ivan A. Pancho-

Instructor

1. If you are a Filipino artist, what kind of arts you would like to develop? Why?
-IF I WERE A FILIPINO ARTIST THE KIND OF ART/S I WOULD DEVELOP ARE MUSIC
AND PAINTING/DRAWING. MUSIC BECAUSE THROUGH MUSIC YOU CAN INSPIRE,
SHARE, CREATE NEW IDEAS OR SOMETHING UNIQUE, JUST BY LISTENING TO IT
OR DOING IT YOURSELF. PAINTING/DRAWING ALSO BECAUSE THROUGH THIS
KIND OF ART YOU CAN ALSO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT FORM
OTHERS, EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONS, AND ALSO TELL/S A STORY THROUGH THIS
KIND OF ART. BECAUSE ALSO NOT EVERYONE HAS THIS KIND OF TALENT, WHEN
YOU HAVE THIS TALENT WHY NOT SHARE IT TO OTHERS TO OPEN UP AN
OPPURTUNITY TO THEIR LIVES.

2. Do you think that “Tattooing” as a form of art should be promoted? Why and why not?
-FOR ME IT IS A YES AND A NO. FIRST NO, BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE OR
EVERYBODY CAN ACCEPT OR LOOK TATTOOING AS AN ART OR EXPRESSING
ONE’S EMOTION TO HIS/HER OWN BODY. ALSO SOME OF US PEOPLE LOOK AT A
PERSON WITH TATTOOS AS A BAD OR A DISGUSTING PERSON, BECAUSE HE/SHE
MADE HIS/HER OWN BODY SOME SORT OF DIRTY (IN OTHER’S PERSPECTIVE).
AND ALSO SOME AGENCIES OR WORKS DON’T ALLOW OR ACCEPT EMPLOYEES
WHO HAVE TATTOOS. AND A YES, BECAUSE IT IS A FORM OF ART THAT SHOULD
BE APPRECIATED EVEN PEOPLE ARE JUDGING OR SAYING NOT GOOD
COMMENTS ABOUT IT. PEOPLE WANT TO EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS THROUGH
PUTTING IT IN THEIR OWN SKIN OR BODY. IF THEY WANT TO LET THEM BE
THEIRSELVES. IT’S NOT YOUR BODY IT’S THEIRS.

3. What do you think are the benefits of paintings in our lives?

-FOR ME THE BENEFITS OF PAINTING IS THAT IT COULD MAKE YOU FEEL FREE
TO REVEAL YOUR THOUGHTS, COULD MAKE YOU RELAX, EXPRESS WHAT YOU
FEEL, AND ALSO WE CAN EARN MONEY FROM IT (DEPENDS ON THE PAINTER OF
COURSE). PAINTING CAN ALSO BE OUR STRESS RELIEVER, STRENGTHENS OUR
MEMORIES AND OUR SKILLS/TALENT.
4. What is the real goal of perspective in art? Explain.
-THE REAL GOAL OF PERSPECTIVE IN ART IS TO CREATE OR REPRESENT A
THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE (ex. a piece of
paper) TO LOOKS IT AS NATURAL OR REALISTIC. ITS GOAL IS ALSO TO CREATE AN
ILLUSIONOF SPACE AND DEPTH ON A FLAT SURFACE/S.

5. Why line is considered the most important element in painting? Support your answer.
-LINE IN ART ALLOW FOR BETTER COMPOSITION. THE USE OF LINE ALLOWS US
TO FRAME, EXPRESS, AND IMPLY TEXTURE. THIS COULD BE CROSS-HATCHING
OR SHADING. LINE IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL DRAWIINGS OR PAINTINGS. IT IS
THE FIRST AND MOST VERSATILE OF THE VISUAL ELEMENTS IN ARTS.  IMAGINE
CREATING A PAINTING, SCULPTURE OR DESIGN WITHOUT DRAWING LINES TO
DIVIDE THE PAPER OR CANVAS INTO SHAPER AND FORMS. THINK ABOUT HOW
IMPORTANT A ROLE LINE PLAYS IN THE CREATION PROCCES. LINES CAN
COMMUNICATE IDEAS OR EXPRESS A FEELING. LINES DEFINE OBJECTS. LINE IS
LIKE A PATH OF MOVING POINT.
TEST II. Painting Analysis: Analyse the painting below and answer the following questions:

1. What does the painting say to you personally?

–PERSONALLY FOR ME THE PAINTING SAYS THAT NO MATTER HOW MESSY OUR LIVES

OR OUR SURROUNDINGS PEOPLE WILL OR MIGHT ONLY FOCUS ON WHAT’S IN FRONT OF

THEM. AND IT ALSO SAYS TO ME THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY CHALLENGES OR

PROBLEMS WE HAVE WE COULD ONLY FOCUS ON OURSELVES TO BE STRONG FACE AND

FIGHT THOSE CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS.

2. What connection do you see between the subject matter and the technique used?

-THE CONNCECTION I SE BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND THE TECHNIQUE USED IS

THAT HOW CREATIVE THE PAINTER TO MAKE AN AMAZING WORK OF ART BY

USING ABSTRACT AND AN OBJECT.

3. What is your subjective reaction to this work of art?

-MY SUBJECTIVE REACTION TO THIS WORK OF ART IS THAT HOW CREATIVE AND

IDEALISTIC THE PAINTER WAS.

4. What do you think is the cultural meaning and context of the work of art?

-FOR ME THE CULTURAL MEANING AND CONTEXT OF THE ART WORK IS THAT IT
IS ABOUT FARMERS. AS WE CAN SEE THE OBJECT IS A TOOL USED BY FARMERS.
TEST III. Painting/ drawing

Draw/paint any objects in a bond paper (any size), using different mediums and colors or any

elements of paintings. Give them enough time (days) to finish their artwork. Explain the

significance and meaning of your painting or drawing.

-MY PAINITNG IS CALLED TWO WORLDS BECOME ONE, TWO WORLDS BECOME

ONE BECAUSE OF A LOVE FOR EACH OTHER. EVEN IF THE OTHER PERSON IS

DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER. THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, APPRECIATE

ONE’S EFFORT AND ESPECIALLY LOVE EACH OTHER EVEN THERE ARE

HINDRANCES FOR THEIR LOVE.
