1. Jimmy O. Rivero Jr. Art Appreciation - BAFM3A
Assumptions of Arts
*Explain one of the six notions of arts. Explain this as how you have
perceived it from the video uploaded in the classroom. Do not forget to
cite an example of an art work.
Art is an activity that requires skill (Carroll, 1999) One of the six
notions of art that I will explain in the video is Art as functional
specifically the Ritualistic and Symbolic functions. Many arts are used in
ritualistic and symbolic functions are is expresses religious beliefs and
ritual of the religion.
This art notion is an applied art created for its use and purpose.
Ritualistic and Symbolic function focuses on rituals and traditions of
religions in their way of showing their faith into what they believe in.
Ati-Atihan Festival
An example of this art notion is Ati-Atihan Festival. Festivals are
one of the many ways Catholic believers express their religious beliefs.
Ati-Atihan Festival is a celebration in honor of the Patron Saint Sto. Niño.
The celebration features street parades and religious processions that
feature dancing ensembles dressed in vibrant costumes and themed floats.
