2. Lesson 1: What is art to Me?
Understanding How Art Can Meet
Some Human Needs

3. OBJECTIVES
• Understanding the role of art as a tool to aid
human limitations
• Relate art to yourself: to your context,
experiences, and longings as
• a person Challenge one's critical thinking
skills through creative ways of conforting
life's problems

toward art

4. INTRODUCTION
Do you agree with the assumption that our generation today
is called the "anxious generation"?
When you talk to those who born during the age of "baby-
boomers them would probably describe a life formed out of
simple choices to make school, study, work, and get married.
However, the time today pose a stark contrast to such
simplicity. We have never been so detached from the primary
values of our humanity: we are distracted by illusions and
"ideal lives" that the internet age suggests.
Hence, in this lesson, you will learn and relearn the value
of art in our lives. Even if you are not an artist,
hopefully you will understand that the art are actually
meant to aid some human limitations that we have often
ignored or set aside because of so many distraction in our
generation today.

5. These are some proposed functions of art in
our lives but are not supposed to limit other
presumed ideas. There is definitely more, but
considering the scope and limit of our time,
we will focus on the following:
1. Beauty
2. Happiness and hope
3. Identity and understanding one self
4. Grief and healing
5. Remembering and mark-making
6. Raising awareness
7. Culture and Togetherness

6. 1. Beauty Why do you think some people hang artworks
on their wall? What is the most common answer? The
connotation of beauty is a debatable topic, but let
us talk about prettiness and the aesthetic value of
art. One of the innate qualities that "pretty art can
give is that it makes our dull, lifeless walls come
to life. The contrast of having something "alive" and
dynamic to look at on something ordinary and common,
let us say a pristine white wall, evokes in us an
affinity towards its beauty. Though we have different
notions of beauty, still it is a common denominator
when we are talking about appreciating forms of arts.
Beauty makes sense to most of us.

7. 2. Happiness and Hope There is something about art that
mirrors the soul of those willing to confront it. In a
societal tone, artworks tend to echo the hopes and
anxieties of an age. There is a wide range of
properties of art why it gives a sense of joy and hope
to its audience. These example:When paintings are
placed in a daunting environment such as hospitals;b.
The experience and process of creating art itself,c.
The bliss of looking at a piece of imagery evoking a
happy memory: e.g., the painting of ad. Direct words
from typography and graphic messages that author has
read your mind and feeling; and relatable as if thee.
Identifying oneself with properties of an artwork: a
homage image to something; works addressing g diaspora,
displacement, and other social issues.

8. 3. Identify and understanding the solf Today's
generation, being the "me" generation, is also
sometimes tagged as the anxious generation A lot of
social issues evidently reflect the struggle for
identity: gender issuers, disconnectedness trought on
by social media, regionalium, and even mental health
issues. How do you think art can be a tool to address
such challenges? Do you agree that we need something
outside of us an tangible enough to diefine what we
are feeling and struggling ag Sometimes we see
ourselves in an artwork. Sometimes we see o in an
artwork Sometimes we see ourselves in the process.
Art can as a powerful tool to help us. communicate
and relay our condusion. Even psychological
interventions sse art as therapy to aid in processing
some sensitive experiences.

9. 4. Grief and healing Many of the most poignant and
humanistic products of art were made after The Wond
War II Twentieth-century art mostly expressed human
suffering and darkness in its themes Artists such as
Rachel Whiteread talked about this haunting
remembrance of holocaust victims in her work "Ghest
Uibrary", Here, she used an experiential type of
artistic expression, exploring the themes of place
and memory in an architectural setting Throughout the
years, artists have interpreted these shared human
experiences in different ways, which also help us
process our grel. Some may use art as a tool to
express pain. and process it in therapy. Nonatheless,
it plays an important role in making grieving somehow
dignified.

10. 5. Remembering and mark-making How do you think has
art helped us remember? How have artists shaped our
landscape? The monument of Rizal in Luneta Park is
one example of a type of art that helps us remember.
Without the tangible characteristic of art, we will
not be able to rustain our nationalistic values well
enough. We have picture, films, and paintings that
depict heroism and nationalism. Try to look up these
artista: "Angel of the North" by Eritish sculptor
Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate" in
Chicago. Gormly's work has been considered as the
largest sculpture in the world and one of the
Gateshead England, and was commissioned to become an
identifying landmark of the region. On the ather
hand, Kapoor had this humongous, bean chaped metallic
sculpture placed at the certainly builds a sense of
mark and identity to that place where the traffic of
pedestrians is usually heavy.

11. 6. Raising awareness Have you seen farge sculptural
effigies (those papier-mache-made-to-be-burned
protest art) during rallies in Manila? Some art can
be categorized as activist art. But not all are as
loud and garish, Serse are subtle painting which
might use satire in the Philippines, many soualy
concerned artists have emerged in the age of
modernism portraying politicians and the governments
system in their most hataful actions. A esore subtle
type of inducing awareness can be observed in
architecture such as the stained windows of Gothic
churches and even thair Illuminated man Such is also
the case of our local churches with the large don the
altar part and huge stained glass windows.

12. 7. Culture and togetherness Lastly, forms of art
often localized so that they bring identity also to
certain regions. This is very evident here in the
Philippines, which is geographical separated by
thousand of islands- very regionalized. In a way,
there is a sense of redemption for the past weakness
of Philippines when the Spaniards strategized the
divide and conquer method. Do you remember the
national costume of Miss Universe 2019? Here, we see
how reigning queen Catriona Gray wore the "whole
Philippines," symbolically uniting us through her
Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao-inspired national costume.
Indeed, it is an attempt to represent our unity and
national identity as Filipinos. What do you think
about the costume?

elem
-Birth of conceptual art

paved way to art movement, photorealism

57. ART CRITISM
As mentioned by James Elk-ins in the essay,
What happened to art criticism? is a
discipline of the arts that seems to be
both healthy and dying. if you live in the
city where there are art galleries and
museums, you will notice that these
institution produce exhibit notes and
pamphlets that give a little bit
informative and elabarative writing about
the artworks on display.

58. METHODS IN READING ART

59. What is Methods?
Think of methods as filters that help you
appreciate aspect of art in difference
lenses. There are some "filters" that are
more effective than others, especially when
we talk about context.

60. 1. Formalism and Style
-Basically gives importance to the formal
qualities (art elements, materials and design
principles) as basis for the meaning of art
Roger Fry is a major purveyor of this thinking.
The form is the content per se and does not take
history and context into account.
2. Iconography
Focuses on the subject matter primarily over
form. When using this method, you will answer
questions like: who is this person the artist
painted and what does it represent? Why did the
artist choose this image and what for?

61. 3. Contextual Approaches
- From the term itself, context becomes an important
factor in criticizing artworks here. We can take many
approaches to contexts like Marxism, Orientalism,
Colonialism, Racial Iconography, Feminism, and
Gender. As you can observe, these are mainly schools
of thought and philosophical movements which place an
artwork within a certain parameter. For example,
Marxism is about art in relation to economics. On the
other hand, Ferninism is bent toward the context of
art wherein gender becomes a strong factor in the
force behind an artistic creation.

62. 4. Biography and Autobiography
-considers the life and context of the artist.
This approach is based on the assumption that
the artist's life, beliefs, choices, and
personality are directly connected to the works
that he or she creates.
5. Semiotics
- from the greek word "sema" which means "sign".
Hence an artwork or art form is assumed to be
composed of a set of signs that may have
significant cultural and contextual meanings
beyond itslef.

63. 6. Psycoanalysis Freud
- is probably a familiar name in the field of
psychology and he is one of the basis of this
theory. In psychoanalysis, one is conncemed
about the unconcious mind in relation to the
artist, the viewer and the cultural context it
is involved in.
7. Aesthetics and Psychoanalysis
- Individual notion of what is considered
acceptable beautiful, or attractive in works of
art aren part influenced by psychological
factors. This approach then connects psychology
to one's construct philosophy of art.

64. Lesson 4: Who is an artist?

65. OBJECTIVES
• learning outcomes:Understand and appreciate
the lives of artists and craftsmen why they
create art and for whom
• Be aware of issues surrounding the lives of
artists and relate it to your own set of
experiences
• Develop of an attitude of inclusivity when it
comes to artists.especially those with
physical disabilities and mental incapacities.

66. AN ARTIST IS SOMEONE WHO
CREATES ARTS

67. Vincent Willem Van Gogh
he was a dutch post impressionist painter who
posthumously became one of the most famous and
influential figures in western art history.

68. ....there is an art of the future and and it is
going to be so lovely and so young that even if
we give up our youth for it, we must gain
serenity by it".
vincent van gogh in his letter to his brother
theo.

69. artists then have a certain kind of power. it
does not lies on money or polities, but on his
or her capacity to influence.

70. THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
unlike the common nations that artists is too
spontaneous, laid back and asystematic,
individual art practationer do need to have sets
and procedures and diciplines, the creative
process is also a problem solving approach
involving a lot of systems of knowledge.

72. Envy, Rivalry and artistic preferences
• Envy- refers to a feeling of jealousy or resentment
towards other artists who are perceived to be more
successful or talented.
• Rivalry-usually that means working in the same
place at the same time competing forthe same
recognition.
• Artistics references is the personal choice and
opinion of the viewer or the artist regarding the
aesthetics composition and style of an artwork.

73. INCLUSIVITY OF ARTS
the inclusive arts are driven redefine what are
is and should be. it wants to value the creative
contribution of what each partricipant
can make regardless of age. socio-economic
status, ability or disabilty, it emphasizes
collaboration, communication, exchange
relationships and the creative talent of its
collaborators.

74. added insights; valving of artists process
and work through money
we have seen how in the latter part of
van gogh's life, which was actually his
death. the value of his works shoot up
to millions of dollars.

75. LESSON: 5 IS ART
FOR EVERYONE? ART
AND THE SOCIETY
FOR WHOM SHOULD
ART BE MADE?

76. FOR A MORE HOLISTIC STUDY OF ART. ITS IMPORTANT TO QUESTION AND TO PONDER
ON THE FORCES THAT INFLUENCE THE CREATION, CIRCULATIONAND CONSUMPTION OF
ART. IF YOU ENCOUNTERA PERSON WITH FULLY BODY TATTOO IN KALINGA PROVINCE OF
THE NORTH, HOW WOULD YOU REACTP
WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO CHITIQUE AMART WORK A LOT OF THINGS SHOULD BE TAKEN
INTO CONSIDERATION AND IN THIS REGARD THE REASON WHY IT WAS MADE FINDING AN
ANSWER TO THIS CAN GIVE MORE VALUE AND MEANING TO A WORK OF ART. WE WILL
HOT JUST EASILY DISMISS IT AS BORING OR GROTESQUE
IN UNDERSTANDING THE FORCES BEHIND THE CREATION AND PRODUCTION OF ART, WE
MAY CONSIDER THESE FACTORS: PERSONAL BELIEF OR VALUES, PRACTICAL NEERS AND
THE AUDIENCE'S LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION. THESE FORCES CAN BE ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS, GALLERIES, MUSEUMS, RULING CLASSES OR PEOPLE MEDIA, CHURCH
AND EVEN A SMALL GROUP OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WITH SETS OF BELIEFS AND
TRADITIONS

77. EDUCATION FOR TASTE?
WHAT IS TASTE? WE FILIPINOS OFTEN ASSOCIATE THIS
WITH DATING. WHEN WE SEE A FRIEND OF OURS WITH A
GIRLFRIEND OR BOYFRIEND WHO HAS GOOD LOOKS AND
EVER GOOD BACKGROUND, WE CAN EASILY MUTTER, YOU
HAVE GOOD TASTE BUT THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF TASTE
WE ARE INTERESTED IN YES IT CAN BE APPLIED TO THAT
BUT TASTE IT MORE CONCERNED WITH OUR CHOICES OF
CONSUMPTION: WHAT WE SPEND OUR TIME OUR MONEY, AND
OUB EFFORTS ON

78. • IN OUR TASTES WHAT DO WE VALUEP THE THINGS WE VALUE, DO THEY
MAKE THE QUALITY OF OUR LIVES BETTER-
MENTALLY.EMOTIONALLY.PHYSICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, AND EVEN
SPIRITUALLYP LATEN ON WHEN YOU GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE AND START
EARNING MONEY. YOU WILL INSTANTLY BECOME A MARKET SO MANY
THINGS, WISE EXPENDITORE, OR SPENDING OUR MONEY WISELY IS QUITE
RARE THESE DAYS. REFLECT ON EWORDS BY AUTHOR ALIAN DE BOTON

79. • BUT HOW WE SHOULD KNOW WHICH TO VALUE AND IN THIS SENSE HOWTO
VALUE ART WORKS AND PRODUCTS OF OUR CULTURE? HENCE, WE CAN
START TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF ART CRITICS. THESE PEOPLE WHO
USE WRITING AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATIONARE TRAINED IN SEEING AND
LOOKINGAT WORKS OF ART AND JUDGING THEIR VALUE BASE ON A GOOD
SET OF PREMISES. SOMETIMES THEY ARE ALSO ART CONNOISSEURS ART
CRITICS HELP US UNDERSTAND AND SUPPLEMENT OUR KNOWLEDGE OF ART
FORMS. WITH THEIR INDISPENSABLE ROLE WE CAN BETTER EVALUATE OUR
TASTES AND EVEN BE WISER IN WHAT WE CONSUMENOT ONLY IN ART BUT
LIFE IN GENERAL
