Discussion The word “art” is from a Latin arti, which means craftsmanship,
inventiveness, mastery of form, skill. It includes literature, music,
paintings, photography, sculpture, etc. It serves as an original
record of human needs and achievements. It usually refers to the
so-called “fine arts” (e.g., graphics, plastic, and building) and to
the so-called “minor arts” (everyday, useful, applied, and
decorative arts). It is the process of using our senses and emotions
in making creative activities (Marcos, 2010). It is a human
capability to make things beautiful (e.g., buildings, illustration,
designing, painting, sculpture, and Photography) through the
production of his/her imagination depending on the preparation,
theme, medium, and values used.
Artist is most often refers to those who create within a context of

the fine arts such as acting, dancing, drawing, filmmaking,
painting, sculpture, writing, photography, and music. They are
those who use imagination, and a skill to construct works that
may be judged to have aesthetic importance. Creativity is a
characteristic of an artist that progressed in the extent of his/her
life to express feelings. These are all processed in three significant
phases namely: Creation of Forms; Creation of Ideas; and Creation
of the Materials (Sanchez, 2011).
a. The Creations of ideas. Artists are usually impressionable

persons. They used their experiences as their basis in the making
of dance, picture, a poem, or a play or a song. For example, a
composer may write a song on the developing romance between a
man and a woman, or on the pains of a broken-hearted.
b. The Creations of the Materials. The artist uses different

materials or mediums to give form to an idea. For example, a
painter uses pigments; a sculptor uses wood, metal or stone; an
author uses words; and a composer who uses musical sounds to
determine the notes.
c. The Creations of Forms. There are diverse forms used by

the artists in expressing their ideas. It is a medium of artistic
expression recognized as fine art. This form is used to explain the
physical nature of the artwork like in metal sculpture, an oil
painting, etc.
Functions of Arts
VISION MISSION
Cagayan Valley.


From the very beginning, arts have been part of human
history. It described, defined, and deepened the human
experience. In the Prehistoric period for example, peoples
performed songs and dances to gratify their ancestors. Likewise,
hunters brushed different figures on the walls of caves to depict
their day to day experiences. Arts also serve several functions
which are item outcome to its purpose (Menoy, 2009), namely:
1. Individual Function- The artists perform arts because of the

passion of their respective art forms. A singer presents a concert
for free because of his advocacy and the love of singing. For
example, Regine Velaquez (Asia’s Songbird) is well-known for
possessing extensive vocal range.
2. Social Function- Man associates with others through his art

performance that arouses social consciousness. Examples of this
association are the choral singing, group dancing, public art
exhibits and other practices.
3. Economic Functions- Arts are emerging as a potent force in

the economic life of people assumes an essential role as a direct
and indirect contributor to state economies. Example of this is by
generating economic vitality in under-performing regions through
crafts, tourism, and cultural attractions.
4. Political Functions- Art provides a forum for ideas that will

lead to employment, prestige, status, and power. During election
period, for example, the candidates created their artworks (poster)
which expresses their propaganda, agendas and political views
about making a stable society.
5. Historical Functions- Art is an essential technique for

information to be recorded and preserved. It serves to document or
reconstruct historical figure and events. Most arts that are in
Museums, for example, are filled with amazing stories about the
world most excellent and most creative people who brought us the
treasures. By looking at a work of art’s colors, materials, and
symbolism, we can learn about the story and culture that
produced it in the past.
6. Cultural Functions- Art is an articulation and transmission of

new information and values. Example, when you think of Manila,
you probably think of Fort Santiago, Luneta Park, and its world-
renowned churches, or the famous Intramuros.
7. Physical Functions- Buildings are artistically designed and

constructed to protect their occupants and make their life inside
more meaningful. Architects, Industrial and Graphic Designers,
and Interior Decorators share responsibility in building
environment that balance forms and functions.
VISION MISSION
Cagayan Valley.


8. Aesthetic Functions- Any artwork means beauty. It is visual
spice for gracefully adorned interiors and can bring out the most
elegant features of different décor elements. It reasonably
reproduced visual images which communicate through fantastic
persuasions and meaningful words.
Purpose of Art
Creativity or imagination is the primary basis of art. Art is

created when an artist produces a stimulating experience that is
considered by his audience to have artistic merit. The artwork is
the visual expression of an idea or experience of an artist, through
the use of a medium (Frank, 2011). It allows expression of the
individuality of the artist. Through artistic endeavors, we can
share what is important to us with others and can learn about the
values of feelings of those sharing art with us. Some purposes of
art are the following (Marcos et al., 2011).
1. Create Beauty- Art is an expression of our thoughts,

emotions, and intuitions. It is the communication of concepts that
cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. The Artist has
considered nature as the standard of beauty. The example of
beauty can be in a snowy mountain scene, and the art is the
photograph of it shown to the family.
2. Provide Decoration- Artworks are used to create a pleasing
environment. It is intended to beautify things to please and amuse
the viewers through its colors and patterns.
3. Reveal Truth- Artwork helped to pursue truth and attempted
to reveal about how the world works. It is a kind of language that
allows artists to send a message to the souls of the recipients that
help change their attitudes, their sensibility, and their ethics.
4. Express Values- Arts can illuminate our inner lives and
enrich our emotional world. Through arts, the artist will be
encouraged to develop their creativity, challenge, and
communication skills. It also promotes self- esteem and wellness.
6. Commemorate Experience- Art serves to convey the personal
experiences of an artist and record his impression in his work.
7. Create Harmony- An artist makes use of the composition to put
an order in the diverse content of his work.
Classifications of Art
Many changes in the arts took place during the early modern
period. Its classification can be on many characteristics, including
form, shape, function, use, or social context. Works of art are
classified in many different ways, namely:
1. Visual Arts- These arts are those forms that create works
which are primarily visual (forms perceived by the eyes). The man
can take the beauty of nature through a piece of paper so that

other people may take time appreciating the captured image.
Examples of these arts include:
a. Painting- This form of visual art aims to evoke an emotion
from the viewers. It is practice by applying colors or other media
to a surface with a brush or other objects.
b. Sculpture- This form of visual arts characterized as the art of
representing an imagined or observed objects in hard materials
such as glass, metals, or wood in three dimensions.
c. Architecture- This form of art provides us the physical
structure we lived. It is a profound expression of human culture
in a particular period, and it will endure and outlive us in forms of
monuments that future generations will study and strive to
understand.
d. Drawing- This form of art enhances the way we see the
world around and conditions us to capture its details in a two-
dimensional medium. This has been a critical element of art
throughout history and in the contemporary art world.
e. Photography- This form of art is a process of creating
portraits by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium,
such as electronic image sensors or photographic films.
2. Performing Arts- These arts are those forms in which the

artists used his/her own body, face, and presence as a medium.
Examples of these arts are as follows:
a. Theatre (Drama) - This form of art uses performers to present
the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in
a specific place and time.
b. Music- This form of art helps to express our mood and feel the
way through our emotions and ideas. Based on a study, different
types of music may be suitable to different moods though classical
music is still recommended as the most calming music option.
c. Dance- This form of art is expressed through body movement
which entails social interaction, or presented in a spiritual or
performance setting.
d. Film- This form of art allows us to explore the complexities of
the human situation. This is used to work out our emotions, to
make history comes alive, science is explained, and literary works
are brought into life.
e. Installation Art- The fundamental nature of this form of art is the
participation of the spectators. In this work of art, viewers become
active and navigate the work in an environment that they can
experience visually. It also has the capacity of passing on
particular information about any significant event around the
world and interactively represents documentary issues.
f. Opera- This form of art helps to tell stories through music. This
is also performed with a full orchestra composed of the various
musical instrument sections. In this art form, singers and
musicians perform a dramatic work by combining text (called a
libretto) and musical score.
g. Stagecraft- This form of art is a technical aspect of theatrical
production. This includes constructing and arranging scenery,

hanging and focusing of lighting, the design of costumes, makeup,
and procurement of props, stage management and recording and
mixing of sound.
3. Literary Arts- These arts centered on creative writing and

other composition processes which intended to read. These include
prose and poetry (e.g., novels, short stories, sonnet, ballad, epic,
and essay).
The Value of Arts in the Educational System
Knowing and practicing the arts disciplines are fundamental to

the development of the minds and spirits of the students (National
Art Education Association, 1994). Arts are inseparable from
education. When early humans drew images on the walls of the
caves, the artworks have been the means of recording human
experiences and of making sense of the world. It educates us on
how early people lived and survived. Thus, without the skills in
the arts, no one can claim that he/she is professionly trained.
There are several reasons for the arts to be included in an

educational system. It is evident that involvement in the arts has
been shown to help students in their academic, personal, and
social development. Listed below are other details for this
assertion.
1. Arts are worth studying because it served to connect our

imaginations with the most profound questions of human
existence.
2. Arts are always used because it helps to present issues and
ideas to teach, persuade, and entertain people.
3. Arts are integral to every person’s daily life because it helps
shape our spiritual, political, economic, cultural, and social
environments.
4. Arts are refreshing because it offers unique sources of enjoyment
and it investigates relationships between thought and actions.
5. Arts develop students attitudes because it teaches self-discipline,
reinforces self-esteem, fosters the thinking skills and creativity and
values the importance of teamwork and cooperation.

sustainable Greek word eisthesis which means
“perception.” It is a branch of philosophy devoted to the study of
art and beauty used during the 18 th century by Alexander Fi
g
Baumgarten, a German philosopher. This term also refers to ur
the
principles governing the nature and appreciation of beauty,

or canvass, and plant crafts.
Textile Crafts. The word textile is from a Latin phrase texere

which means “to braid" or "to construct." These also refer to any

minds. Leroi-Gourhan (1967) lists three primary domains of the

expression of feeling associated to the first periods of humanity
that may add to our understanding of the beginnings of art such
as Psycho-physiological impressions; Magic-religious; and techno-
economic.
Art in Prehistoric Civilization
The term “prehistoric” relates to the time before written

history. Specifically, the writing developed in ancient Mesopotamia
before 3000 B.C.E., so this period includes visual culture
(paintings, sculpture, and architecture) made before that date
(Zucker, 2015). The oldest recognized decorative art forms come
from Africa date back to 100,000 BC.E.
Prehistoric art has four main periods: Stone Age, Neolithic,

Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The remaining artifacts of this period
are small sculptures and cave paintings. During these early times,
different forms of art were created and performed as a sign of
communication or adoration to the deity. This practice shows how
cultural and religious factors played little to the development of the
art forms that made the ancient society so famous until now.
Ancient people often represented their worldviews and beliefs

through visual images. Art emerged with the appearance and the
dispersal of entirely modern people through Africa, Asia, Australia,
America and Europe. Paintings, sculptures, engravings, and
potteries are expressions for beauty and complex social and
spiritual systems. Prehistoric art like animals are the favorite
subjects of hunters, herdsmen, and breeders.
Prehistoric art is a symbolic system that is an integral part of

the culture that creates it (Honour et al., 2005). Many
archaeologists have identified Stone Age art, namely: petroglyphs
(rock carvings and engravings); pictographs (graphic imagery,
symbols); ancient sculpture (totemic statues, ivory carvings); and
megalithic arts (performs or any other works associated with the
formation of stones).

Discussion Painting is a style of creating an expression by applying colors to a
flat surface or any mediums like canvas, clay, glass, paper, walls,
leaf, paper, or woods. Abstraction or composition, drawing, and
other aesthetics may serve to manifest the expressive and
conceptual intention of the artists (Mayer, 1970). It is an
unspoken and mostly unrecognized dialogue, where paint speaks
silently in masses and colors, and the artist responds in moods.
Paint records the most delicate gesture. It tells whether the painter
sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas (Elkins, 1998). It
loaded with narrative content, symbolism, or emotion.
A beautiful painting is not made by photographic likeness, but
rather by good composition. For the artist, the harmony in his/her
artwork will depend on the selection of appropriate devices,
peculiar to the medium and the use of certain principles to relate
them. A unique style emerges when an artist recognizes his or her
personal preference of dominant design elements and consciously
or unconsciously emphasizes these dominant elements (Ocvirk et
al., 2008; Gatto, 2000). The significant aspects of the painting are
the line, color, texture, perspective, shapes, and symbols (Nohay,
2018).
Line. It is the simplest element in the painting. It can

suggest movement (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and curved).
Each line has its meaning: vertical line stress action, strength,
dynamism; horizontal lines means serenity, calmness, stability;
diagonal line express tension, movement; curved lines appear
softness, flexibility, gentleness.
Color. The Artists used colors to convey feelings and moods

within their painting. It is the result of wavelengths of lights
reflecting of objects. It is composed of three distinct qualities such
as the hue, saturation, and value. Hue is merely the name of the
color. Red, yellow, and the blue are the primary color. Their
mixture that produces the secondary colors are green, orange, and
purple.
Texture. It is a component of two-sided and three-sided

designs and distinguished by its perceived visual and physical
properties. It is used to describe the way a three-dimensional work
feels when touched. In two-dimensional models, such as painting,
it may refer to the visual "feel" of a piece (Isaac, 2017).
Perspective. It is an art technique for creating an illusion of

three-dimension with depth and space. Its real goal is creating a

Sculpture is fromsustainable
the Latindevelopment
word sculpere which means “to carve.”
The tools used in sculpture are varied and is changing throughout
history. It engages our sense differently than paintings because it
occupies space as a three-dimensional mass through carving,
casting modeling or assembling materials (Sheldon, 1968). It has
sought to produce artworks that are as permanent and is working
in durable and expensive materials such as bronze granite,
limestone, marble, and stone. More rarely, precious metals such
as gold, ivory, jade, and silver were used for chryselephantine
works. More common and less expensive materials were also used
for broader consumption, like cast metals, ceramics, glass, and
hardwoods.
The sculpture has long been one of the most popular forms of
fine arts and one of the most beautiful representations of the
humankind. It was also used to represent societal concerns, such
as morality, politics, and religion (Witcombe, 1997). For many of
years, scuplture has filled many roles in human life. For example,
the earliest sculpture was made to supply magical help to trackers,
to represent gods, and to hope of making their ancient kings
becomes immortal.
Most common purpose of sculpture during the ancient time is

associated with religion. Different images like a human-made
object revered for the spirit are familiar in many cultures. One of
the oldest sculptures discovered is an ivory statuette, dating
approximately 30,000 BCE from a cave at Hohlenstein-Stadel,
Germany called Löwenmensch (which means a“lion-human”). This
Paleolithic period statue is about 12” tall and depicts a human
figure with a feline face.
Another very iconic and famous piece of sculpture is “the

Sphinx” of Egypt. This sculpture of an image of the pharaoh
Khafreand is part of a funerary complex for the pharaoh. Egyptian
sculpture and all Egyptian art were on the belief in a life after
death wherein the body of their ruler (the pharaoh) was preserved
carefully and buried with some goods with him to provide for his
needs forever. The Egyptians often combined features from various
creatures to symbolize ideas. For example, the head of the pharaoh
Khafre is added to the bowing figure of a lion to form the Great
Sphinx. This type of masterpiece suggests the combination of
human intelligence and animal strength. The Great Sphinx of
Egypt is an enormous sandstone sculpture, measuring 240’ ft.
Long and 65’ ft. High.
Importance of Sculpture
The sculpture is a perceptive-regeneration of reality through

the use of three-dimensional form. As a specialized work of art, its
objective is to exemplify a concept by forming a visual equivalent.
Since the shape is the dominant characteristic of sculptures, the
human body and animals have been its primary subject. They are

Discussion he word “music” is from the Greek word mousike, which means
“Art of the Muses.” It is the art of arranging tones in an orderly
way to produce a unified and continuous composition. The
common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and
harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and
articulation) dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and
texture.
To many people of different cultures, music is an integral part
of their way of life. It is an art that puts sounds together in a way
that people like. Most music includes people singing with their
voices or playing a musical instrument, such as drums, piano,
guitar, and others.
When music is written on a staff, the pitches (tones) and their
duration are represented by symbols known as notes. These
symbols are put on the lines and in the spaces between the lines.
Each position says which tone must be played. The higher the
note is in the staff, the higher
the pitch of the tone. The lower

essential parts of human life. Without music, our life is a lost,
unsure, and probably incapable of venting our emotions (Galindo,
2003). Based on studies, music can be a right way of helping our
imagination goes to new heights. It touches our soul and enables
us to express different moods and emotions. It inspires people and
allows us to get in touch with our feelings in a way that is unique.
It allows our body and mind to make a break from the monotony of
life.
Likewise, music can kindle the mind. It can inspire ordinary
human feelings and bridges gaps between cultures. It touches our
emotional being and shows emotions that are sometimes difficult
to articulate. It can be our day happy or excited.

been taken up by humanity as a way of expression. It has the
power to influence emotional and psychological aspects of
behavior. It has major elements, namely:
VISION1. Harmony (From the Greek harmonia, MISSION meaning “joint or
agreement”) - It refers to the verticalization of pitch. It is often
