Analysis

How it began?
The brief history of physical education would start in just about 1820 when
schools focused on gymnastics, hygiene training and care and development of the
human body. By the year 1950, over 400 institutes had introduced majors in physical
education. The Young Men's Christian Association launched its very first chapter in
1851 and focused on physical activities. Colleges were encouraged to focus on
intramural sports particularly track, field and football. But physical education became
a formal requirement following the civil war when many states opted to pass laws
that required schools to incorporate a substantial physical education component into
their curriculums. But it was not till 1970 that an amendment was made to the Federal
Education Act that allowed women from high school and college to compete in
athletic competitions. Sex-based discrimination was completely outlawed from
government funded programs at this point.
Development
From 1825 to the present, the form of physical education taught in schools
has altered dramatically. Whilst gymnastics is still taught as part of physical
education, it no longer forms a key part of the curriculum. Instead, athletics and
sports are now the main focus. The current emphasis on overall health and fitness,
and particularly physical stamina and endurance, stems from World War II, when
45% of the first 2 million males drafted failed their physicals. Since 1941, physical
education has been given increased time, attention and priority in American schools.
But this is not meant to imply that the history of physical education has been
all rosy. Late in the twentieth century there was certainly a decline in the commitment
to physical education. The growing offering of extra subjects and electives in schools
means that the shift was focusing away from physical education and towards
academics. The country also faced a recession around 1970 and 1980 and the
dearth of government funding means that physical education programs were often
the first to be cut from schools and universities.
But recent awareness of the need for balanced curriculums particularly given
the national concern over the state of obesity and children's attention towards non-
physical activities like video games has brought physical education back in the
spotlight. The government has re-signaled its commitment to physical education by
making it mandatory in public schools in early classes. But it remains an elective at
the high school level. One of the most interesting developments in the history of
physical education has been how the definition of physical education has evolved.
While it only encompassed traditional sports in the beginning, it now includes several
fewer physical activities such as yoga and meditation which are considered critical
to helping students develop a sense of control in such a stressful age.
Application
Reflect and write in your journal how you can use the above information on your
knowledge about Physical Education. Give some insights about the differences
between the ancient and modern age of physical education.

Well done! You have just finished Lesson 1 of this module. Should there be some parts of
the lesson which you need clarification, please ask your tutor during your face-to-face interactions.
Now if you are ready, please proceed to Lesson 2 of this module which will discuss about the
Purpose and Objectives of Physical Education.
Introduction:
In recent years, physical education has been falling out of its position as a staple of the
traditional school day. Research not only connects regular P.E. classes with improved academic
performance, but also suggests that lack of activity could be damaging children’s cardiovascular health.
Despite the scientific evidence, the modern curriculum continues to impede physical education in favor
of more time spent in the classroom, placing additional pressure on physical educators and school
departments to optimize the time allotted towards achieving crucial fitness goals

• How do the 8 aims and objectives of physical education relate with each other?
Abstraction
1. Organic Development:
2. Neuro-muscular Development:
o Concern with better co-ordination between nervous system and muscular system.
o Good neuro-muscular co-ordination helps to keep of fatigue during vigorous
activities.
o Improves working with various equipment and tools.
o Also known as psycho motor development or co- ordination development.
o Participants are required to follow the rules and regulations of a specific sport and
apply these rules according to the situation in that sport.
o Participants learns the values of these activities and carry it over for lifetime.
o Researches have proved that good sports person have higher IQ.
4. Social Development:
o Physical education aims at emotional stability which helps in facing any type of
situation.
o Competitions are an indispensable part and are characterized by success and
failure.
o Physical education teaches to accept success and failure gracefully, which are
also helpful throughout the lifetime.
o Physical education aims not only at teaching & learning various physical activities
but also helps to develop a healthy attitude towards sports and games.
8. Spiritual Development:
o By participating in physical activities and solving several tasks in the playfield, one
develops self-confidence and self-control.
o This self-control leads to moral and character development together with spiritual
development.
Application
Reflect and write in your journal how you can use the above information in
improving the delivery of instruction that will facilitate learning in physical education.
In this lesson, you learned about the three types of memory and how the brain functions.
In the next lesson, you will learn about the 7 major philosophies of physical education.
Introduction:
What's the point of all of those physical education classes we've all taken? Sure, we got to
have some fun playing sports but was that all there was to it? Of course not. The philosophy
behind physical education entails principles that teach students the mechanics of physical activity,
why it's important, and how they can and should remain physically active on their own.
It goes much deeper than that, of course. Underlying this outward manifestation of physical
education is the understanding that if students learn all of this and apply it, it will benefit them
tremendously in terms of physical and mental well-being. This will, in turn, benefit the entire nation
since healthier people do not take up as many healthcare resources.
Clearly, good physical education affects the health and economics of individuals and an entire
nation. So why don't we take a closer look at the goals, purposes, and current trends of physical
education.

Introduction:
Psychology of the sportsperson is very important for achieving the heights in sports. It
includes various components physical, mental, spiritual and good emotional health of the
sportsperson. Psychology includes the various components like personality; attitudes, anxiety,
aggression and stress also play an important role. This lesson identifies all these factors and their
importance to become the elite and successful sportspersons in their life.

Analysis
• What about the worksheet, did it help you analyze the concept of the
picture aside from mental training techniques? How?
1. Goal Setting
SMART goals Being SMART about goal setting reminds you that your goals should be:
Specific: Set difficult but realistic positive performance and/or process goals that are
clearly stated.
Adjustable: Goals (and goal schedules) may need to be changed due to such things as
injury or sickness. Or you may have set goals that were in hindsight to easy
or too hard. Also, you should review your training methods to see if they are
effective and adjust your goals if needed.
Realistic: Know your limitations, but set goals that are challenging. Setting goals that are
too hard sets you up for failure, but they also need to stretch your abilities.
Time Referenced: Set target dates for achieving your goals. Again, these should be
challenging but realistic.
2. Concentration
Concentration and attention control are perhaps the most important mental skills to
master. As there are so many potential distractions (sights, sounds, feelings, thoughts),
remaining optimally focused pays dividends. Selective attention is the ability to choose the
most appropriate stimuli to focus on, while concentration is the ability to sustain attention
over time. Players need to be able to shift attention rapidly and accurately. This constant
mental shifting from external to internal, broad to narrow and back is the essence of
attention control. Proper attention control allows a player to choose what is important, stay
focused upon it as long as necessary, and shift focus as needed.
Centering and relaxation assist an athlete shift his or her thoughts away from
anxious negative thinking towards a relaxed, positive, focused mind-set. A simple way of
achieving this is through breathing exercises. One breathing exercise is centering, which
is breathing that commences from your center of gravity (behind your navel). This process
reduces tension and assists control under pressure through remaining relaxed.
Mind skills/techniques help athletes adjust their actions, thoughts, feelings, and
physical sensations in order to improve their games. Mental skills techniques do this by
helping the player to:
Many athletes have the ability to concentrate, but often their focus is displaced on
the wrong areas such as when a batter thinks “I need to get a hit” while in the batter’s box,
which is a result-oriented focus. Much of my instruction on focus deals with helping athlete
to stay focused on the present moment and let go of results.
Doubt is the opposite of confidence. If you maintain many doubts prior to or during
your performance, this indicates low self-confidence or at least you are sabotaging what
confidence you had at the start of the competition. Confidence is what I call a core mental
game skill because of its importance and relationship to other mental skills.
Emotional control is a prerequisite to getting into the zone. Athletes with very high
and strict expectations, have trouble dealing with minor errors that are a natural part of
sports. It’s important to address these expectations and also help athletes stay composed
under pressure and when they commit errors or become frustrated.
This will vary from person to person and from sport to sport. Feeling “up” and
positively charged is critical, but not getting overly excited is also important. You have to
tread a fine line between being excited to complete, but not getting over-excited.
A major part of sports psychology and mental training is helping teams improve
cohesion and communication. The more a team works as a unit, the better the results for
all involved.
Some athletes find themselves fully prepared physically to get back into
competition and practice, but mentally some scars remain. Injury can hurt confidence,
generate doubt during competition, and cause a lack of focus. I help athletes mentally heal
from injuries and deal with the fear of reinjury.
All great coaches employ game plans, race strategies, and course management
skills to help athletes mentally prepare for competition. This is an area beyond developing
basic mental skills in which a mental coach helps athletes and teams. This is very
important in sports such as golf, racing, and many team sports.
This incorporates everything I do in the mental side of sports. The overall aim is to
help athletes enter the zone by developing foundational mental skills that can help athletes
enter the zone more frequently. It’s impossible to play in the zone every day, but you can
set the conditions for it to happen more often.
Application
Given the above concepts of mental health training, write and reflect on
the eight concepts on how you will use these trainings in your physical education
class.
Physical education is an integral part of the total education. Quality physical education
programs are needed to increase the physical competence, health-related fitness, self-
responsibility and enjoyment of physical activity for all students so that they can be
physically active for a lifetime. Physical education programs can only provide these benefits
if they are well-planned and well-implemented.
Module 1 Highlights:
• Physical education originated thousands of years ago, in Ancient Greece.
In roughly 380 BC, Plato mentioned physical education in "The Republic",
stating that two types of education were necessary: educating the mind and
educating the body.

Module 2
MUSIC
In this module:
• History of Music
• Objectives and Scope Sequence of Music
• Rudiments and Salient Features of a good music
• Philippine music.
Many studies from field of education systems shows to us that music has big
influence on human beings, especially on children and their cognitive and psychophysical
development. Music is an extremely important subject for all to learn and can lead to better
brain development, increases in human connection, and even stress relief.
This module will focus on the philosophy of music, Objectives and Scope Sequence
of Music, Rudiments and Salient Features of a good music and Philippine music.
History of Music
Objectives:
Introduction:
In all probability, music has played an important role in the lifecycle of humans perhaps even
before we could speak. Significant evidence has been discovered that very early man developed
primitive flutes from animal bones and used stones and wood as percussion.
Voice would have been the first and most natural means of expression in our distant
ancestors, used to bond socially or comfort a sleepless child. It is from these humble beginnings that
the music we enjoy today evolved.
As we move further through the history of music, we find increasing evidence of its key role
in sacred and secular settings, although the division into these categories was not defined in this
way until many years later.

1. Medieval Period
(medieval music)

2. Renaissance Period
Before leaving this period of music it is important to mention the Troubadours and the
Trouveres. These travelling storytellers and musicians covered vast distances on their journeys
across Europe and further afield into Asia. They told stories, sung ballads and perhaps most
importantly, brought with them influences from far and wide that seamlessly blended with the western
musical cultures.
The Renaissance (1450 – 1600) was a golden period in music history. Freed from the
constraints of Medieval musical conventions the composers of the Renaissance forged a new way
forward. Josquin des Prez is considered to be one of the early Renaissance composers to be a great
master of the polyphonic style, often combining many voices to create elaborate musical textures.
Keyboard instruments also became increasingly common and the advent of the sonata
followed in due course. Other popular forms for instrumental music included the toccata, canzona
and ricercar to name but a few, emanating from the Courtly dance.
Towards the end of the Renaissance, what was called the Church Modes began to dissolve
in favor of what is now considered to be functional harmony or tonality based on a system of keys
rather than modes.
The Baroque Period (1600-1760), houses some of the most famous composers and
pieces that we have in Western Classical Music. It also sees some of the most important musical
and instrumental developments. Italy, Germany, England and France continue from the
Renaissance to dominate the musical landscape, each influencing the other with conventions
and style.
Amongst the many celebrated composers of the time, G F Handel, Bach, Vivaldi and
Purcell provide a substantial introduction to the music of this era. It is during this glittering span
of time that Handel composes his oratorio “The Messiah”, Vivaldi the “Four Seasons”, Bach his
six “Brandenburg Concertos” and the “48 Preludes and Fugues”, together with Purcell’s opera
“Dido and Aeneas”.
Instrumental music was composed and performed in tandem with vocal works, each of
equal importance in the Baroque. The virtuosity that began amongst the elite Renaissance
performers flourished in the Baroque. Consider the keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti or
the Concertos that Vivaldi composed for his student performers. This, in turn, leads to significant
instrumental developments, and thanks to the aristocratic support of Catherine Medici, the birth
of the Violin.
Notation accompanies these developments and steadily we find that the accuracy of
composers works becomes more precise and detailed giving us a better possibility of realizing
their intentions in performances of today.
4. Classical Period
From the Baroque, we step into the Classical Period (1730-1820). Here Haydn and Mozart
dominate the musical landscape and Germany and Austria sit at the creative heart of the period.
From the ornate Baroque composers of the Classical period moved away from the polyphonic
towards the homophonic, writing music that was, on the surface of it at least, simple, sleek and
measured.
One key development is that of the Piano. The Baroque harpsichord is replaced by the early
piano which was a more reliable and expressive instrument. Mozart and Haydn each wrote a large
number of works for the Piano which allowed for this instrument to develop significantly during this
period.
Chamber music alongside orchestral music was a feature of the Classical Era with particular
attention drawn towards the String Quartet. The orchestra itself was firmly established and towards
the latter end of the period began to include clarinets, trombones, and timpani.
The rise of the virtuoso performer continued throughout this period of music as demonstrated
by the many of the concertos and sonatas composed during this time. Opera flourished in these
decades and became a fully-fledged musical form of entertainment that extended way beyond the
dreams of the Baroque composers.
As the Classical era closed Beethoven is the most notable composer who made such a
huge contribution to the change into the Romantic Era (1780 – 1880). Beethoven’s immense genius
shaped the next few decades with his substantial redefining of many of the established musical
conventions of the Classical era. His work on Sonata form in his concertos, symphonies, string
quartets and sonatas, goes almost unmatched by any other composer.
The Romantic era saw huge developments in the quality and range of many instruments
that naturally encouraged ever more expressive and diverse music from the composers. Musical
forms like the Romantic orchestra became expansive landscapes where composers gave full and
unbridled reign to their deepest emotions and dreams.
Berlioz in his “Symphonie Fantastique” is a fine example of this, or later Wagner in his
immense operas. The symphonies of Gustav Mahler stand like stone pillars of achievement at the
end of the Romantic period alongside the tone poems of Richard Strauss. The Romantic period
presents us with a vast array of rich music that only towards the end of the 19 th Century began to
fade.
It is hard to conceive of what could follow such a triumphant, heroic time in musical history
but as we push forward into the 20th Century the musical landscape takes a dramatic turn. Echoes
of the Romantic Era still thread through the next century in the works of Elgar, Shostakovich and
Arthur Bliss, but it is the music from France we have title impressionism that sparkles its way into
our musical consciences.
In parallel, the Teutonic world began to undergo its own revolution in the form of the second
Viennese school, led by Arnold Schoenberg. Disillusioned with the confines of tonality Schoenberg
threw out the tonal system in favor of a new twelve-tone serial system giving each step of the
chromatic scale equal musical validity. The result was serial music that was completely atonal and
transformed the musical landscape almost beyond anything that had happened before.

Introduction:
You don't need to be a musician to understand the basic elements of music. Anyone who
appreciates music will benefit from learning how to identify music's building blocks. Music may be
soft or loud, slow or fast, and regular or irregular in tempo—all of these are evidence of a performer
interpreting a composition's elements or parameters.
Leading musical theorists differ on how many elements of music exist: Some say there are
as few as four or five, while others contend that there are as many as nine or 10. Knowing the
generally accepted elements can help you understand the essential components of music.

Introduction:
How is it possible to identify principles that speak to the quality of song melodies, when
every melody that you write needs to be unique, never heard before? It’s chiefly by looking at the
thousands of great songs from the past several decades of pop songwriting, and identifying those
melodies that seem to make a strong connection to audiences.
So, what are the characteristics that all songs seem to have in common, no matter what the
genre? So, you might wonder what could it be?
Activating my Thoughts
Activate your thoughts by comparing and contrasting the three singers below.
All you need to do is to determine the similarities and differences of the 3 artists
(Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, Bob Marley) by filling in the desired information in the
table.
Analysis
1. Complexity / Variety
Good music has a high degree of complexity and internal variety. Minimalist or overly
simple music can't do much at all for you. In general (and other things being equal) the amount
of enjoyment you can get out of a piece of music is proportional to its complexity. The ideal of
"variety" should apply to your universe of music as a whole, not just to individual pieces. The
wider the range of stuff you like, the better will be your musical life. You can afford to carry some
knick-knacks and even a bit of rubbish along with the gold.
Variety without unity means noise! In good music, all the bits and pieces cohere to
make a satisfying "whole". A good piece of music is like a vibrant, happy society - it consists
of all sorts of folk but they all depend on one another and they all get along just fine.
3. Originality / Style
The best composers have an original, individual style and all the musical pieces they
create offer something new, both inspired and inspiring. (With the vast amount of music around
now, this is getting increasingly difficult.) “Original” doesn’t mean “outlandish”. If a musical piece
is too far out, it becomes inaccessible.
A good piece of music is well balanced and interestingly organized, the melody flows
and the whole thing has a sense of direction – it sounds like it’s going somewhere. “Balance”
means a lot of things, including orchestral or voice balance which, these days, is often
achieved electronically.
5. Sublimity / Transportation
Great music takes you somewhere else! It’s mind-blowing, it consumes you, elevates
you or whatever. Different kinds of music take you to different places. Some people reckon
there are good and bad places, and that’s what makes music good or bad.
“Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end” (Stravinski)
A good musical piece has points of tension followed by a release. In particular the
piece as a whole usually has a climax and ends with a dispersal of remaining tensions.
Harmony (and dissonance) is usually the main element involved in this.
Foundation of MAPEH Page |

Pop songs often fade out instead of ending properly, while classical pieces often
stamp home the final resolution with repetition or fanfare - as Igor Stravinski wittily pointed
out.
The best music sounds spontaneous and natural, not forced or contrived. People will
have their own opinions about this. Einstein once said that while Beethoven created his music,
Mozart's was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to
be discovered.
Others say listening to Mozart is like collecting shells along the beach. It's easy to see
what they mean, but doubtful whether this puts Mozart in a class above Beethoven.
Good music leaves you with the feeling that all the notes are right and that even if
you altered a small number of them the whole piece would be spoilt. This characteristic is
more important with some genres than with others. For example, jazz is largely improvised,
so a degree of arbitrariness is to be expected.
The fact is; however, that much composed music does sound like that, and this is
especially true of modern music, which is governed by fewer rules and it really doesn’t matter
much what notes are played! Some kinds of music are just too easy to construct and require
little skill or creativity.
9. Excitement / Passion
This is perhaps the most subjective aspect of good music. If a piece of music is
incapable of exciting or impassioning you (or somebody), you'd probably say it's boring and
not worth listening to. It pays to be reasonably objective here, and to realize that many, if not
most, people are excited by stuff that you might find uninspiring. Mood swings also come into
the picture.
Good music must be accessible, i.e. comprehensible to the usual audience for that
particular style of music. So, it has to be ordinary enough for them to be able to appreciate it,
original enough to grab their attention, and memorable enough for them to want to return to it
again and again. This is usually achieved by showcasing distinctive melodies, motifs or
"hooks".

Introduction:
Although, geographically, the Philippines belongs to the East, its music has been heavily
influenced by the West owing to 333 years of Spanish rule and 45 years of American domination.
Music in the highland and lowland hamlets where indigenous culture continues to thrive has strong
Asian elements. Spanish and American influences are highly evident in the music of the urban
areas.

• What do you think are the strongest points of Philippine music compared to the
music of the neighboring Southeast Asian Nation?
Abstraction
In discussing Philippine music, three main divisions are apparent: (1) an old Asian
influenced music referred to as the indigenous; (2) a religious and secular music influenced by
Spanish and European forms; and (3) an American/European inspired classical, semi-classical,
and popular music.
With the coming of the Spaniards the Filipino’s music underwent a transformation with the
influx of western influences, particularly the Spanish-European culture prevalent during the 17th to
the 19th centuries. The Hispanization during the succeeding three centuries after 1521 was tied up
with religious conversion. It effected a change in the people’s musical thinking and what emerged
was a hybrid expression tinged with Hispanic flavor. It produced a religious music connected to and
outside the Catholic liturgy and a European-inspired secular music adapted by the Filipinos and
reflected in their folk songs and instrumental music.
Spanish Influences
Paseo de Iloilo
Jota Manileña
The American regime lasted from 1898 to 1946 during which time Philippine music underwent
another process of transformation. In the newly established public-school system, music was
included in the curriculum at the elementary and later at the high school levels. Music
conservatories and colleges were established at the tertiary level. Graduates from these institutions
included the first generation of Filipino composers whose works were written in western idioms and
forms. Their works and those of the succeeding generations of Filipino composers represent the
classical art music tradition which continues to flourish today.
Side by side with this classical art music tradition was a lighter type of music. This semi-classical
repertoire includes stylized folk songs, theater music, and instrumental music.
The sarswela tradition produced a large body of music consisting of songs patterned after
opera arias of the day as well as short instrumental overtures and interludes.
The strong band tradition in the Philippines, which began during the previous Spanish period
and which continues to this day, produced outstanding musicians, composers and performers.
Another popular instrumental ensemble was the rondalla which superseded an earlier type of
ensemble called the cumparsa. The latter was an adaptation of similar instrumental groups,
the murza of Mexico and the estudiantina of Spain.
American lifestyle and pop culture gave rise to music created by Filipinos using western pop
forms. Referred to as Pinoy pop it includes a wide range of forms: folk songs, dance tunes, ballads,

Summary
In the course of history, music is the greatest creation of mankind. Creativity in the pure and
undiluted form is the true definition of Music. Music is an important part of our life as it is a way of
expressing our feelings as well as emotions.
Some people consider music as a way to escape from the pain of life. It gives you relief and
allows you to reduce the stress. Music is a powerful therapy that will make you calm down and in
the moment of joy, it will make you cheerful. Furthermore, it develops the mind and boosts your
self-confidence. Music plays a more important role in our life than just being a source of
entertainment.
Module Highlights
• Three main divisions of Philippine Music: (1) an old Asian influenced music
referred to as the indigenous; (2) a religious and secular music influenced by
Spanish and European forms; and (3) an American/European inspired
classical, semi-classical, and popular music.

ARTS
“Arts is not what you see, but what you make others to see”
- Edgar Degas
In this Module
Introduction
Art has always been around in one form or another, helping mankind in the
development of diverse activities and their outcomes. Art is as vast as an ocean,
embodying a wide range of activities, such as sculpting, painting, photography and
architecture, etc. If we take a look at our past, we can see that the earliest form of art
that mankind learnt, was painting, presented on ancient walls. With the advancement
of time, newer forms of art arose, such as music, theatre and photography, etc., which
are nowadays considered the most beautiful types of performing arts.
Objectives:
Introduction
The arts refers to the theory, human application and physical expression of creativity found
in human cultures and societies through skills and imagination in order to
produce objects, environments and experiences. Major constituents of the arts include visual
arts (including architecture, ceramics, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography,
and sculpting), literature (including fiction, drama, poetry, and prose), performing
arts (including dance, music, and theatre), and culinary arts (including cooking, chocolate
making and winemaking).
Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. cinematography), or
artwork with the written word (e.g. comics). From prehistoric cave paintings to modern-day films,
art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying humankind's relationship with the environment.

Lesson
Elements of Arts

Objectives
Introduction
Upon understanding any field, it’s important to have a solid foundation from
which to grow. In the field of art, this means understanding the elements of art. These
creative building blocks are essential and having a grasp on how they work is important
both for artists and for lovers of art. By gaining a deeper understanding of the elements
of art, it’s easier to analyze, unravel, and create any type of artwork from painting and
photography to sculpture and architecture.
Starbust
1. Draw a group of circles forming the shape of a flower on the space provided.
2. Find a space in the box where you can put the name of the flower above in artistic
manner.
3. Color your flower depending of your choice, be creative.
4. Share your output with your classmates.
Analysis

Line, color, shape, form, value, space, and texture are the seven core elements of
art and they often overlap and inform one another. Whether talking about drawing, painting,
sculpture, or design, these components of art all need to be taken into consideration. Once
you have a handle on these seven visual elements, it’s even easier to create your own art.

Introduction
The principles of design are the rules a designer must follow to create an
effective and attractive composition. Design differs from art in that it has to have a
purpose. Visually, this functionality is interpreted by making sure an image has a center
of attention, a point of focus.
Picture A
Picture B
Analysis
Abstraction
1. Balance
Balance refers to the visual weight of the elements of the composition. It is a sense
that the painting feels stable and "feels right." Imbalance causes a feeling of discomfort
in the viewer.
Symmetry, in which both sides of a composition have the same elements in the same
position, as in a mirror-image, or the two sides of a face.
Asymmetry, in which the composition is balanced due to the contrast of any of the
elements of art. For example, a large circle on one side of a composition might be
balanced by a small square on the other side.
Radial symmetry, in which elements are equally spaced around a central point, as in
the spokes coming out of the hub of a bicycle tire.
Contrast is the difference between elements of art in a composition, such that each
element is made stronger in relation to the other. When placed next to each other,
contrasting elements command the viewer's attention. Areas of contrast are among the first
places that a viewer's eye is drawn.
3. Emphasis
Emphasis is when the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually
dominant and com mands the viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.
4. Movement
Movement is the result of using the elements of art such that they move the
viewer's eye around and within the image. A sense of movement can be created by
diagonal or curvy lines, either real or implied, by edges, by the illusion of space, by
repetition, by energetic mark-making.
5. Pattern
Pattern is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination
thereof. Anything can be turned into a pattern through repetition. Some classic patterns
are spirals, grids, weaves. For examples of different pattern types see the Artlandia
Glossary of Pattern Design. A popular drawing practice is Zentangles, in which an
abstract or representational outline is divided into different areas, each of which contains
a unique pattern.
6. Rhythm
(rhythm in art)
7. Unity/Variety
Unity/Variety You want your painting to feel unified such that all the elements fit
together comfortably. Too much unity creates monotony, too much variety creates
chaos. You need both. Ideally, you want areas of interest in your composition along with
places for your eye to rest.

Art is a part of our culture. It should be given importance by the people. It is the
expression of our creative ideas and imagination. It has different forms such as the visual
arts, sculpture, music, literature, theater, films, and other ways that artists choose as a
medium for their craft.
Art transcends time. It transcends the artist who was responsible in its creation. It
shatters barriers and goes beyond them to be able to share its message and speak of its
meaning. Art rises above language, class, religion, gender, and other factors that seem to
divide the world. Art brings people together.

Introduction
Lesson
1 Health and Wellness
Objectives
• Reflect on the importance of mental and physical health;
• Identify the factors of good health and preserving health; and
• Explain your personal understanding of health and wellness.
Introduction
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.” This means that health is a resource to support an
individual’s function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle
provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.

Analysis
Abstraction
Mental and physical health are probably the two most frequently discussed types of
health. Spiritual, emotional, and financial health also contribute to overall health. Medical
experts have linked these to lower stress levels and improved mental and physical well-
being.
People with better financial health, for example, may worry less about finances and
have the means to buy fresh food more regularly. Those with good spiritual health may feel
a sense of calm and purpose that fuels good mental health.
Physical health
A person who has good physical health is likely to have bodily functions and
processes working at their peak. This is not only due not only to an absence of disease.
Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest all contribute to good health. People
receive medical treatment to maintain the balance, when necessary.
Looking after physical health and well-being also involves reducing the risk of an
injury or health issue, such as:
Good physical health can work in tandem with mental health to improve a person’s
overall quality of life.
Mental health
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, mental health refers
to a person’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Mental health is as important
as physical health as part of a full, active lifestyle.
It is harder to define mental health than physical health because many psychological
diagnoses depend on an individual’s perception of their experience.
With improvements in testing, however, doctors are now able to identify some physical signs
of some types of mental illness in CT scans and genetic tests.
Good mental health is not only categorized by the absence of depression, anxiety,
or another disorder. It also depends on a person’s ability to:
• enjoy life
• bounce back after difficult experiences and adapt to adversity
• balance different elements of life, such as family and finances
• feel safe and secure
• achieve their full potential
Physical and mental health have strong connections. For example, if a chronic illness
affects a person’s ability to complete their regular tasks, it may lead to depression and
stress. These feelings could be due to financial problems or mobility issues. A mental illness,
such as depression or anorexia, can affect body weight and overall function.
Genetic factors
A person is born with a variety of genes. In some people, an unusual genetic pattern
or change can lead to a less-than-optimum level of health. People may inherit genes from
their parents that increase their risk for certain health conditions.
Environmental factors
Access to healthcare plays a role, but the WHO suggest that the following factors
may have a more significant impact on health than this:
• The social and economic environment: This may include the financial status
of a family or community, as well as the social culture and quality of relationships.
• The physical environment: This includes which germs exist in an area, as well
as pollution levels.
Preserving health
The best way to maintain health is to preserve it through a healthful lifestyle rather
than waiting until sickness or infirmity to address health problems. People use the name
wellness to describe this continuous state of enhanced well-being.
“Wellness is the optimal state of health of individuals and groups. There are two
focal concerns: the realization of the fullest potential of an individual physically,
psychologically, socially, spiritually, and economically, and the fulfillment of one’s roles and
expectations in the family, community, place of worship, and other settings.” Wellness
promotes active awareness of and participating in measures that preserve health, both as
an individual and in the community. Maintaining wellness and optimal health is a lifelong,
daily commitment.
The definition of peak health is highly individual, as are the steps a person may take
to get there. Every person has different health goals and a variety of ways to achieve them.
It may not be possible to avoid disease altogether. However, a person should do as much
as they can to develop resilience and prepare the body and mind to deal with illnesses as
they arise.

Abstraction
Wellness is an active process, and you are in the driver’s seat. Let’s break down
some components of wellness…
1. Physical Wellness:
This is probably the first thing you think of when you think of health and
wellness. But physical health is much more than “losing a few pounds”. Physical
wellness is taking the necessary steps to maintain optimal health and functioning.
This includes participating in physical activity and maintaining proper nutrition by
eating a well-balanced diet.
Some ideas to achieve physical wellness:
• participate in physical activity every day for 30 minutes
• take the stairs instead of the elevator
• learn how to read nutrition labels
• eat a variety of foods and understand portion sizes
• maintain a regular sleep schedule.
2. Emotional Wellness:
3. Spiritual Wellness:
This can refer to religion, values, faith, ethics, morals, etc. It allows you to be
in touch with yourself and what you believe in. In this aspect you are likely to find
meaning, purpose, appreciation, and your guiding compass.
• If you identify with a specific religion, continue to explore that. If you don’t, be
open to exploring different belief systems.
• Meditate
• Take time for self-inquiry, get curious about knowing yourself and what you
align with.
• Maintain your spiritual or religious practices.
4. Social Wellness:
This has to do with the relationships you have and interaction with others,
how you relate and connect with others. Having strong and positive relationships
provides you with support as well as self-esteem, joy, and connection.
• Join a club or organization that interests you
• Take the time to call an old friend to catch up
• Keep in touch with supportive friends and family, distance yourself from toxic
individuals
• Identify what you look for in social relationships, what you need, and what
you can give
5. Environmental Wellness:
This refers to your relationship with your environment, living in harmony with
the Earth, and taking care of the surroundings. Just like plants, we need sunlight,
fresh air, and fresh water to thrive.
• Recycle, conserve energy, reduce your footprint
• Spend time outside
• Try earthing
This refers to how we interact with our job, our achievements at work, and
our outlook of the work we do. Our attitude toward our work directly influences our
overall health.
• Explore different career options, if you’re not doing what you love investigate
alternative jobs.
• If a career switch isn’t in your cards (and even if it is) look into non-
paid/volunteer work that interests and motivates you.
• Set realistic career goals, and work toward them.

Introduction
Personal hygiene is how you care for your body. This practice includes bathing,
washing your hands, brushing your teeth, and more.
Every day, you come into contact with millions of outside germs and viruses. They
can linger on your body, and in some cases, they may make you sick. Personal hygiene
practices can help you and the people around you prevent illnesses. They can also help you
feel good about your appearance.
Learn more about why hygiene is so important, the best ways to practice it, and how
you can change your habits to make yourself feel and look better.
Concept Map

Personal
Fill in the circles in the Hygiene
concept map about your
personal hygiene. Identify 4
hygiene that you always do
everyday.
Abstraction
Each person’s idea of personal hygiene differs. These main categories are a useful
place to start for building good hygiene habits:
Toilet hygiene
Wash your hands after you use the restroom. Scrub with soap for 20 to 30 seconds,
and be sure to clean between your fingers, on the back of your hands, and under your nails.
Rinse with warm water, and dry with a clean towel.
If you don’t have running water or soap, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer will also
work. Use one that’s at least 60 percent alcohol.
Shower hygiene
Personal preference may dictate how often you wish to shower, but most people will
benefit from a rinse at least every other day. Showering with soap helps rinse away dead
skin cells, bacteria, and oils.
You should also wash your hair at least twice a week. Shampooing your hair and
scalp helps remove skin buildup and protects against oily residues that can irritate your skin.
Nail hygiene
Trim your nails regularly to keep them short and clean. Brush under them with a nail
brush or washcloth to rinse away buildup, dirt, and germs.
Teeth hygiene
Good dental hygiene is about more than just pearly white teeth. Caring for your teeth
and gums is a smart way to prevent gum diseases and cavities.
Brush at least twice a day for 2 minutes. Aim to brush after you wake up and before
bed. If you can, brush after every meal, too. Floss between your teeth daily, and ask your
dentist about using an antibacterial mouthwash.
These two steps can help prevent tooth decay and eliminate pockets where bacteria
and germs can build up.
Sickness hygiene
If you’re not feeling well, you should take steps to keep from spreading germs to
others. This includes covering your mouth and nose when sneezing, wiping down shared
surfaces with an antibacterial wipe, and not sharing any utensils or electronics. Also,
immediately throw away any soiled tissues.
Hands hygiene
Germs on your hands can easily enter your body through your mouth, nose, eyes,
or ears. Wash your hands:
• when you handle food
• before you eat
• if you handle garbage
• when you sneeze
• any time you touch an animal
Likewise, wash your hands after changing a baby’s diaper, helping someone clean
themselves, or when cleaning a cut or wound.
Good personal hygiene habits are directly related to less illnesses and better health.
Poor personal hygiene habits, however, can lead to some minor side effects, like body
odor and greasy skin. They can also lead to more troublesome or even serious issues.
Poor hygiene habits can also affect your self-esteem. Looking and feeling
presentable can give you a confidence boost and a sense of pride in your appearance.
Other conditions may be prevented or the risk minimized by practicing good personal
hygiene. These are some examples:
• scabies pubic lice, head lice, body lice, diarrhea, athlete’s foot, ringworm,
pinworms, swimmer’s ear, hot tub rash.
If you want to improve your personal hygiene or help a child develop better habits,
these strategies might be helpful:
Set reminders
If you can’t remember to do things like shower, wash your hair, clip your nails, or
brush your teeth, set a reminder on your phone. The cue will push you to the activity, and
over time, you’ll begin to do it yourself.
Use signs
Hang a reminder in the bathroom to wash your hands after using the toilet. Put a
little sign by the plates or bowls in the kitchen to cue yourself to wash your hands before
eating. These signs can help jog your memory and improve your habits. They can help both
you and your children.
It takes time to learn a new habit. Start with a new habit at the beginning of the week
and make it your priority. Practice it for a week or two. When you feel comfortable with it,
add a new one. Overtime, you’ll establish the habits you wish to have.

Summary
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of
health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race,
religion, political belief, economic or social conditions in life.
The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and
is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States. The achievement of any
State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all.
Module Highlights
Congratulations you have successfully finished the last module of this course.
It is hoped that after finishing this module you will be more aware about your health.
