Hello Learner!
Do you remember having fun moments like this with your classmates? Well, we would have
wanted to meet with you in a regular classroom and work together in this exciting endeavour of
honing your talents and building your knowledge in the visual arts.
However, because of the current health crisis, you will be staying at home and studying through
this learning resource material instead.
This does not mean that you will be learning less about the fascinating world of the visual arts.
Self-learning has its own merits and will develop skills that you may not learn so much about in
regular classrooms. This may also improve your reading skills and develop self-discipline!
This material is designed to help you make artworks, read, reflect and do your own research at
the same time. Read the instructions slowly and carefully. And don’t hesitate to ask your parents
or siblings or any person within your home for help if there are things here that you find hard to
understand. You can also contact me, your teacher, for any advice or guide through mobile
number ____________.
Also, remember to keep all your artworks and notes. You might be asked to send them to your
school so that we can see them and give you feedback. When we can safely meet again in
person, we will mount a fascinating exhibition for everyone to see and enjoy!

How to Use this Learning Resource for VISUAL ARTS
You will be using this learning resource in the next eight weeks – or the equivalent of one quarter
of the present school year. This material contains several lessons for Grade 9 that will help you
understand and develop skills related to Pre-Colonial Art and its Design Characteristics, Forms,
and Function.
We wrote our suggestions regarding the amount of time you should spend with each lesson. But
you can spend as much time on each lesson as you want – just make sure you complete all the
lessons before the end of the quarter.
To make your learning experience easier, we think you should know about how each lesson goes.
You will be guided through the lessons with a combination of activities, readings, projects and
reflections.
1. ACTIVITIES
An activity will serve as an INTRODUCTION to a subject matter or a skill that you will be learning,
or sometimes it is a REVIEW of things that you have learned in previous school years.
You will be writing your answers to most of these activities in this material or in your VISUAL
ARTS JOURNAL. But for other activities, you may have to find other materials.
Visual arts student Nicole Manzanero tackles the issue of Filipino “diaspora” through an art installation
of balikbayan boxes.
2. REFLECTIONS
To help you REFLECT on activities and projects, you will be asked to share your thoughts and
feelings in your VISUAL ARTS JOURNAL.
Your VISUAL ARTS JOURNAL can be a regular notebook, a sketchbook, or loose sheets of paper.
Just be sure to keep these and put the dates on your notes. Just like a regular journal.
5
You can choose your own style of writing in your journal. It can be formal or informal. You can
even make drawings about your thoughts and feelings. Or even paste images you cut out from
old newspapers and magazines.
Don’t worry about what you write in your journal – there are no correct or wrong entries here.
Just write as honestly as you can. The purpose of the journal is for you to explore your thoughts
and feelings as you go through the lessons.
After writing in your journal, you are encouraged to discuss your lessons with your parent, a
sibling, a friend, or someone you feel sharing your thoughts with.
3. READINGS
You may also be asked to READ an essay or two that will tell you about things that are related to
your activity. Read them slowly and try to understand them very
well.
You will also be asked to answer some questions, we shall call them
“Guide Questions.” This will help you remember and understand
better what you just read. Write your answers
and reactions to these questions in your JOURNAL.
4. PROJECTS
At the end of each lesson, you will be asked to make a PROJECT. This
project will give you a chance to apply what you have learned.
Make sure to keep all of your projects. At the end of the quarter, you may be asked to send these
to school, so that we can see them and give feedback to help you learn better.

Introduction: Installation Art as a Postmodern Visual art
form
"The Cry of the Dead Whale," is an installation art by Biboy Royong consisting of a 78 by 10
foot whale sculpture made from plastic bags, bottles, and other kinds of waste collected from beaches
around the Philippines. Installed at the Cultural Center of the Philippines front lawn in Manila Bay, it is
a grim reminder of the notoriety of human behavior and carelessness in plastic waste management
and its impact on the ocean’s living organisms.
An estimated 14 billion pounds of trash—most of it plastic—is dumped in the world's oceans
every year, killing off 100,000 marine creatures and over a million sea birds. The Philippines sadly
ranks third on the list of countries responsible for this plastic and waste pollution.
The purpose of this artwork is to raise awareness about environmental degradation. To quote
the artist in an interview with Earth Island Institute Philippines “to achieve this, we needed to
effectively visualize the worsening case of plastic pollution,"

Let’s Read!
What is an Installation Art? Why and how did this kind of Visual art form emerged during the
Post World War II period? What are the other art forms and art movements flourished during
Postmodernism?
Let’s discuss Postmodernism first. Then let’s tackle the different Postmodern Art Movements
and the different Visual Art Forms that emerged after the war and still continues today. In this module,
you will recognize the development of arts as one of the mediums for communication and opinion -
making brought about by advances in new technology and changes in ideology that resulted in new
art movement and styles.
Postmodernism describes movements which both arise from, and react against or reject,
trends in Modernism that you learned last 3rd Quarter. Postmodern artists believed that art is for
everybody and that they are not obliged or are compelled to follow or be dictated by prevailing art
styles. Postmodernist artworks then can be made of anything. Common examples of art forms used
in postmodern art are installation art, performance art, photorealism, video art, among others.
Also, the postmodernism refers to the confused state of cultural developments that came into
existence after modernism. As a matter of fact, the period after 1960s is generally considered
postmodern in nature.
To be precise, postmodernism is construed as begun after 1968. There is a strong belief that
modernism paved the way for postmodernism. In other words, it can be said that postmodernism was
triggered by the developments made in modernism and its advocates.
However, postmodernism, when compared to modernism, is more complex to understand and
appreciate. It is interesting to note that the period after the World War II is normally considered
postmodernism oriented in the sense that there were complex developments in the economic, cultural
and social conditions around the globe.
Contemporary artists often address social, religious, political and cultural issues, providing a
framework for exploring challenging and difficult subjects through the use of other visual forms

dimensional. This is of utmost importance considering that the installation is the creation of an
environment
The bullhorn installation was made to look like a terrain of weeds when viewed at a certain
angle. Villamiel’s work reflects the current socio-political situation in the country, highlighting elements
of poverty, consumerism, and religion. His massive installation Payatas, which features thousands of
doll heads, was chosen to represent the Philippines in the Singapore Biennale exhibition in 2013. It
took him two-and-a-half years to finish this work.

to its ability to reflect the political and social issues of the day
in an ironic, yet humorous way.

5. Performance Art
One of the good examples of performance art was the Self Obliteration by Ron Athey.
It shows the ideas of masculinity, sexual desire, and trauma are picked apart in Ron
Athey’s extreme body art and performance art. His controversial work focuses on performing
physical acts to his body as a way of transcending bodily pain.

“Juramentado” is one of Danny C. Sillada's acclaimed live
art performances - a satirical narrative of live actions mimicking
the cultural deviant behavior in Mindanao, Philippines, on running
amok. An allusion to the early native Muslims in Mindanao, who
fought against the American soldiers during the World War II, by
using “Kris” (wavy double-edged sword), they would take an oath
to Allah by surrendering (jurar) themselves to death in defending
their lands against the invaders. In present time, “Juramentado”
has evolved into a cultural deviant behavior when a person, out
of helplessness and despair, would kill anyone in sight before
killing himself.
6. Protest Art
It is the creative works
produced by activists and social
movements. It is a traditional
means of communication, utilized
by a cross section of collectives
and the state to inform and
persuade citizens. Protest art
helps arouse base emotions in
their audiences, and in return may
increase the climate of tension
and create new opportunities to
dissent.
Diego Rivera was one of

the leaders of the Mexican Mural
Movement of the 1920s. He created popular political murals entitled “Gloriosa Victoria” throughout
Mexico that included attacks on the ruling class, the church and capitalism. Instead, he promoted
communism and socialism, and wanted to protect workers’ rights.
Protest art acts as an important tool to form social consciousness, create networks,
operate accessibly, and be cost-effective. Social movements produce such works as the
signs, banners, posters, and other printed materials used to convey a particular cause or
message.

Activity 2
The picture (left side) is an installation artwork by Imelda
Cajipe Endaya entitled “Ang Asawa ko ay DH” (My wife is a Domestic
Helper), executed in her installation the female body which is shaped
by materiality and objects of domesticity, labor and migration. The
body of installation is made out of an open suitcase that contains
personal objects. Cajipe Endaya renders the body of the woman as a
contentious site of global mobility. She critiques the apparent global
feminization of labor. Cajipe Endaya’s work signifies how the Filipina /
Pinay body is “ikinakasangkapan” (being used and devised) as the
Philippine’s major global export, the servant of the world.
Direction: Analyze the artwork of Imelda Cajipe Endava entitled “Ang Asawa ko ay DH” (My wife is a
Domestic Helper) by answering the following questions.

REFLECT!
Congratulations! You are almost done with the activities in this module. Now, it is time for you
to reflect on the significant learnings that you have gained in this lesson. Share what you have
learned by completing the “thought prompts” below:
GENERALIZE:
People have different definitions and function of the visual forms. There are many
reasons why artists create. Trying to classify function depends on context (where, when, and
why it was made). The contextual equation also includes you, the viewer, in thinking about what
the work may mean.
The postmodern art movements are used today in making different arts form. It allows
individual’s personal expression through painting, sculpture, architecture and other visual forms.
Contemporary artists often address social, religious, political and cultural issues,
providing a framework for exploring challenging and difficult subjects.
