It is an exquisite kind of art, however, a painful one. Having a tattoo on our body,
even though I have never tried it, the way we see it and look at it must be very painful
because some tattoo artists use some kind of needle and, according to the article that I
have read, they use sharp metal instruments previously heated over a fire. On the
other hand, the carving type of painting is also beautiful, memorable, and
unforgettable because once the artists carve, for example, in the stone or cave walls,
as we can see, it remains visible.
b) Spanish Colonial Period (1521-1898)
Arts in this time were for ritual purposes or everyday

2. List down five characteristics of a beautiful art. Defend your answer.

Works of art need not be beautiful for us to consider them important. It is considered

of little value to an argument that seeks to explain the ethics, politics, and values of human

societies past and present to describe anything as beautiful because it is not a critical

assertion. The terms "beautiful" and "significant piece of art" are not synonymous. Beauty is

not a prerequisite for the existence of an art object. However, if I am asked to list down five

characteristics of beautiful art, that would be its color. The colors should match the emotions

within the painting. Next, the symmetry of the artwork is balanced. To be considered

beautiful, artwork should have symmetry that is balanced, as well as a balance of color

shading. And the movement catches the eye of the viewer as the pattern of that art. It should

be eye-catching. Then, to call art beautiful, there must be emotions within the artwork.

Because the artwork does not have what we call an evoked emotion, that does not make sense

at all. Lastly, there should be an emphasis because it really shows the "center of interest." For

example, is there a preference for mass or void? Components inside the artwork or picture

plane are placed how densely? What is the relationship between the object and the

surrounding space (i.e., cramped, crowded, bustling, highly inhabited, with little surrounding

space; roomy; deliberate interaction between positive and negative space; things clustered to

create regions of visual interest)? What is the result of this (e.g., producing a sensation of

emptiness or isolation; business or visual clutter producing a feeling of disorder or

claustrophobia)? Therefore, to be called beautiful, something should have all of these

characteristics to attract the attention of the viewers.


Reflection

How did Symbolism and Expressionism change art? Explain your answer in an essay
form consisting at least 10 sentences. (30pts)

In my perspective, symbolism, and expressionism change art through their depiction

of the forms themselves. In symbolism, it created fresh, frequently abstract ways to

communicate psychological truth and the notion that there was a spiritual reality hidden

behind the surface of the physical world, symbolism may also be considered as being the

forerunner of modernism. The indescribable, such as dreams and visions, could be given form

by symbolists. In terms of specific subject matter, the Symbolists combined religious

mysticism, the perverse, the erotic, and the decadent. The symbolist subject matter is

typically characterized by an interest in the occult, the morbid, the dream world, melancholy,

evil, and death. On the flipped side, in expressionism, Expressionist artists sought to express

emotional experience, rather than physical reality. Paintings by abstract expressionists

explored fresh methods for producing art, reviving and redefining the genre. With their

expansive, abstract canvases, dynamic, expressive lines, and new artistic techniques, they

revolutionized painting. Many painters experimented with unconventional tools including

domestic paint brushes and commercial paints. By shifting the canvas from the easel to the

floor and working on unstretched, unprimed canvas, artists also created new methods for

applying paint. The Abstract Expressionists looked for new ways to express themselves and

their sense of individuality in their paintings by using these unique painting techniques.
