LEARNING CONTENT
Introduction:
There are a lot of changes that happened in this world most especially with the spread of the novel
corona virus. Right now, being an artist is the best occupation or activity you can have due to the solitary
nature of artistic creation like you can be alone in your studio or home, you don’t necessarily need to go out
that much, it doesn’t mean that you are stuck. Whenever you are painting, you are opening a huge universe
so even if you stay at home and kind of feeling stressed and lonely then think of an escape way to open an
infinite world around you, so it’s not solitary, its actually opening doors of imagination so if you’re already an
artist or if you already have some experiences or this is your first time, then maybe this is the right time to
start making art. Start using this time efficiently, be creative, explore and open new doors for your imagination
even if you can’t go out. So as you can see, the situation we have here in the Philippines right now and in
other countries of the world, we are in some sort of confinement, as some are experiencing community
quarantine or lockdowns. We’re not allowed to get out so we’re pretty much stuck so we can just help our
parents, stick together and avoid to have too many contacts to avoid spreading the disease. You may have
asked yourselves, what’s the meaning of all this, what’s the meaning of art, what’s the point of studying art?
Art is not helping like practically speaking you’re not healing people you’re not putting on anybody’s table but
it can still help by providing spiritual comfort in a way or it can be a source of entertainment.
If you paint a beautiful landscape with just a happy vibe, then you are taking people in another
dimension where they can forget all the sufferings in the world or when you are painting a harsh painting with

dark and in a very cruel portrayal, you are also helping maybe understand some sort of hidden message that
it may have and may even give a sense of enlightenment for some people. Whenever you post your funny
tiktok videos, you are giving joy to a lot of viewers. When you sing a beautiful song, you may have touched
another person’s heart and probably made him/ her realize some stuffs which are worthy to ponder upon.
That inspirational poem you originally composed and shared online would have probably motivated someone
to go on with his or her life.
Now as we proceed with our lesson, I would like to inspire you to reflect more on the important
roles arts has to play in our society. Imagine for a moment the world without arts, without music, without
cinema,dance,opera,literature, poetry.
That world will be a very very dull place. We create art through the use of imagination, the one
thing that distinguishes us as human beings from other species. Without art reality would be quite unbearable
as we need art in order not to perish from the truth. Most of us can attest as to how important art is most
especially during this pandemic. Some of you would listen to music, watch vlogs and films to lessen your
boredom. Others sing and dance to entertain their friends and families. There are also those who paint and
draw to convey their emotions or to sublimate ones unacceptable feelings and adapt oneself to the present
situation. These are just few of the numerous advantages we may get from art. Indeed, we use different
media to express ourselves and to color our lives.
We can only thank arts for its extraordinary services. Without it, we may have been living in
emptiness and despair. So join me as we explore more the world or art.
I am truly inspired to guide you throughout this term towards the very goal of this course which is for
you to be able to appreciate art along with appreciation of one’s talent, unleashing of one’s potential and the
utilization or art as way to contribute for the welfare of our society and most especially to use art as a
platform to positively express oneself.
Let us continue understanding what this course has to offer by defining art appreciation, humanities
and establishing the relationship of both.
Art is a subject under humanities. Since art is subjective in the sense that people differ in their
perception of an object or thing. Hence, there can be no one universal definition of it. What may be
beautiful and meaningful for some people may be considered as something ugly and meaningless to
others. In other words, different authors and writers define art in various ways as they perceive it.
Moreover, the meaning of art has changed throughout history due to multicultural settings. Thus, every
time a new movement in art emerged, the meaning of what is art, what is acceptable as art, is being
challenged.
Hereunder are some of the definitions of art given by various authors and writers.
1. Art is derived from the Latin word “ars,” meaning ability or skill- J.V. Estolas
3. Art is that which brings life in harmony with the world- Plato
-art is meant to “express only images of good, and to prohibit them from exhibiting the opposite
forms of vice and intemperance and meanness and indecency” the main moral concern is the
affect of art on minds and development of the character of citizens
4. Art is not what you see but what you make others see-Georgia O’Keeffe & Edgar Degas
-one of the things that makes a great art is its ability to convey message and its efficiency to stir up
people’s ability to think and interpret the artwork. Its influence or its impact on the viewers must be
considered.
5. Art is the right reason of making things. It is the process of creating things that is guided by
good intention and it does not violate the universal concept of justice.- Aristotle
There are many reasons to make art. Some make art to make money. Well this is just fine, but
Aristotle has his own standard of what a real art is. For him, the artist must take into consideration
the impact of a particular artwork to its viewers. It must be created with good intention and for the
greater good of all the people and not to demean or to cause injustice/s to the people.
From the above definitions of art, it can be concluded that there are several ways of defining art as
there are many people, authors, and writers in the universe. Each definition is influenced by the unique
perspective of the above authors and writers as well as their own personality and character.
Nevertheless, a glimpse of the above definitions bring us four (4) common essentials of art.
3. Art benefits and satisfies man-when he uses art in practical life through artistic principles,
taste, and skill.
- Let’s take into account the University’s Kaibigan ng Kalikasan Program (KKP) activity. The
main purpose why we implement this program is because of our care for the environment. Do
we benefit from this? The benefit afforded to us by the program is enough example to speak of
art benefiting and satisfying man.
4. Art is expressed through a certain medium or material by which the artist communicates
himself to his fellows.
- The Spoliarium of Juan Luna would give us a message that Spanish friars are too much in
handling the Filipino people due to abuses suffered by the latter under their hands.
1. Through participation in arts-music, dance, drama, media arts, and the visual arts-
students can develop their creativity, self-awareness, self-confidence, sense of well-being and
to learn about their identity
- Arts create a safe space for students to explore talents and build their confidence
2. Through intense involvement in artistic activities
students experience a sense of wonder and joy when learning though the arts
- Working together for a common purpose teaches students that their contribution is
important, which is perfect for the collaborative nature of the arts.
students can be motivated to participate more fully in cultural life
- Arts provide a unique platfom to discuss many different cultures, socioeconomic levels,
and current events. Through arts, students have a place not only to learn about
different cultures than their own, but also to ask questions and be more informed about
the daily struggles and realities of people who may seem different.
students are able to gain educational opportunities which they can use later in their career life.
- By working collaboratively on a project, students learn to communicate more effectively,
compromise when necessary, and work hard even if their role may seem small.
Any creative skill, a talent, a painting, a design, a colorful creation, an original composition
and a masterpiece.
- Art can be expressed in many forms and it is commonly manifested by the skills embedded
in person. Our innate gifts and talents are enhanced through different art activities
By showing how others have lived and thought about life, it helps us decide what is
important in our lives and what we can do to make them better.
- It gives us the chance to discover other people and their way of living, thinking and feeling. We
get to see through them how we can improve and decide for ourselves in a way that does not
destroy us, rather to make us reach our potentials and grow as a person.
By connecting us with other people, they point the way to answers about what is right or
wrong, or what is true to our heritage and our history.
- It’s always nice to connect with other people. Through them we get to learn a lot of stuff like
things our immediate family member or friends never taught us or have made us realize. As we
broaden our connection, we enrich our life as well with life lessons and wisdom. Their
experiences and opinions help us become critical of what is good and bad, what is true to our
heritage and history.

means of enlightenment. It inspires us to get united not divided.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Arts and humanities are considered as two of the oldest fields of knowledge available to man. The
difference between the two is often seen with ambiguity. While art is seen as more all-inclusive field,
humanities, on the other hand, takes into consideration a diverse and oftentimes unrelated set of
disciplines from literature to political history
Both humanities and arts can prepare you to think critically, act creatively, and succeed in a rapidly
changing world.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Kinds of Art
The following are the different kinds of art. Definitions and examples are included below for you to better
understand the lesson.
Poetry It is a poetry that is specifically composed for or e.g., Ang Huling Tula na
performance during a performance before an audience. isusulat ko para sayo by Juan
Miguel Severo
-also known as spoken poetry
Applied Arts These are arts that apply design and decoration to
everyday and essentially practical objects in order
to make them aesthetically pleasing.
Art is everywhere
- When you wake up in the morning what do you see? When you go to school or hangout in
Robinsons with your friends what do you see? When you shop in Lazada or shopee for home
décor or gadgets or school materials what do you see? Basically, almost everything that we see
around us, including the things that we use are all products of art.
Art is part of one’s life. He/she cannot ignore its presence even if he/she tries to.
- We are all artists in some ways. Your choice of pairing of clothes is an art. The way you tie your
hair is art. The movies you watch, books you read, musics you listen to are all arts. So basically,
arts has been part of our day to day life
- Art is the expression of inner feelings, idea, thought about something or the environment.
- Art is created through expressing ones feelings, emotions, intuitions, and desires, but it is even
more personal than that; it’s about sharing the way we experience the world, which for many is an
extension of personality.
- A work of art is man-made whereas nature is given around us. Although art may closely resemble
nature, it can never duplicate nature. It is only man’s way of interpreting nature.
- Although nature displays order and harmony, sometimes it is in its chaotic state. Artist duplicate
things they like and eliminate the undesirable elements in nature to convey their message of love
and beauty.
Art and culture are linked. Art is an expression of a particular person or group of people.
- Art mirrors the beliefs and practices of a certain group of people. Thus art reveals not only the
identity of the artist but even the society he/she belongs to.
- The works of Rizal and Francisco Balagtas are not read because they are old but because they
are beautifully written. Arts, regardless of its origin, time, and place are liked and enjoyed by
people continuously.
