very
good
and
best artworks in the philippines

joey velasco
so make a list of everything that comes
to mind when you look at
the art from all angles so make a list
of anything that comes to you
next
be
so after completing a
in your assignment write a brief
assumption
about the meaning of the
painting
plus
short
short
okay at least three sentences
that is your pretest
next
let's proceed to the discussion of the
subject which is the type
of subject
first one is the representational art
so what is representational art
so subjects in this style of art are
real world things or events
because the figures shown are easy to
see and understand
it's also known as figurative art
okay
we are focusing on the real world
so pakta
this is the example of real world things
or events
in the history of the philippines during
the spanish regime
this can
show how filipinos suffered
because of the oppressor which is
made by the spaniard people
so when do
so luna spent eight months on cat bus
creating the painting so imagine
just to perfect this
artworks we need the eight months
eight months
so which depicts dying legenders
so in 1884
luna entered the meeting in madrid's
[Music]
painters
so
in this picture
representational art it can represent
the real life of
filipinos before
so we are being oppressed we are being
[Music]
art forms that do not refer to a person
locationing or even a specific
occurrence in the real world
so it's simplified to visual elements
such as shapes lines and colors that are
utilized to be a particular sensation
emotion or even idea
okay this is an abstract art by
fritz herrera filipino
artist also
so that representational
uh
[Music]
[Laughter]
um
[Music]
uh
[Music]
um
so what are the sources to properly
appreciate the sentiment
emotion or
concept
behind that representational art
a higher level of perceptiveness
percent perceptiveness and insight may
be necessary
in representational art
it's easier to figure out what the
subject matter is because the figures in
the beginning already
okay
the sources of subject
we have nature
is
luna
the combination of jewish tradition and
christian television
it's more on the
spiritual
and cuddly aspect
at the paramedic
regarding the
belief of every
people
which is
we believe in what god
the father the son of the holy spirit
these are the sources of something
and we have also kinds of subjects
so we have history
still life animals figures nature
landscape seascape cityscape mythology
myth
dreams fantasies
okay
history
[Music]
you'll note that she pregnant it
features philippine women in them
she is the first cousin of former
philippine president ramon banksia
and a student of fernando amorsono
so a well-known painter in the
philippines and one of the country's
pioneering contemporary artists
so the three women in a landscape
depicting women with
higher
bones
dead ice and lovely miranda's heat
surrounded by nature
working crops
selling fish or buttery way
is one of our most famous paintings for
sailing
in the philippines
okay this
is a
painting it can
give
[Music]
women empowerment
the world of women so we need to
respect women
because they have
works that we cannot see
but this picture it can show how women
work
at home and even in the agricultural
format
so in the contented part the artworks
meaning our message it's vital to
remember that there are different levels
of significance when it comes to
interpreting part
first we have the factual meaning
so the most basic basic level of meaning
for it can be taken from the recognized
or recognizable forms in the artwork as
well as an awareness
of how these
parts
okay
okay
and then the second one is the
conventional meaning refers to the
accepted interpretation of an artwork
based on motifs
signs symbols and other receivers
so these standards develop over time
are reinforced by repeated exposure
and are widely accepted by both viewers
and
academics who study them so
unconventional
interpretation
okay
next one is
subjective reading so a variety of
meanings may be merged emerge when
subjectivities are utilized to
interpret
a work of art so when engaging with art
these interpretations are based on the
viewers or audiences partitions
what we know what we learn what we
experience and what values we stand for
so there are maybe several different
meanings rather than a single one
so subjective
but subjective
uh
to interpret a work of art
so in this picture by
fernando marsolo
the title is planting in 1951
songs
so he painted a few versions of this
painting he wanted to capture the
traditional philippine occupation and
the farm life of men and women in a hot
summer
this representation depicts how enduring
they are and how the farmers work
together
also so
the student you student you need to
study
and then finish your courses and then
work hard and find work so that you can
have a
good life in the future
okay
okay we have also the known sculpture in
the philippines
okay
is just an example of the sculptures in
the philippines
and even here
sculptures
okay
this is your activity class
so the direction
in this module the different kinds of
art are discussed
number one try to look at your own house
or go to some safe places and capture
two different types of representational
and not representational arts so there

use your eyes to see those artwork but
uh
okay
that is activity one we have also
activity two
so in response to your observations and
experiences as a learner answer the
following essay questions
we have three essays what are the
obstacles to accessing art in terms
what sources do artists
use to find their subjects

its factual conventional
and subjective meanings

art
we have activated three
