INSIGHTS INTO
EVERYTHING
Through the exploration of the humanities,
we learn how
• to think creatively and critically,
• To reason, and
• To ask the proper question
Allow us to gain new insight into everything
from poetry and painting to business
models and politics
Humanistic subjects have been at the heart
of a liberal arts education since the Ancient
Greeks (sophos, citizens)

UNDERSTANDING
OUR WORLD
• Research into the human experience adds to our knowledge
about our world. Through the work of humanities scholars, we
learn about the values of different cultures, about what goes
into the making of art, about how history is made. Their efforts
preserve the great accomplishments of the past, help us to
understand the world we live in, and give us tools to imagine
the future.

BRINGING
CLARITY TO
THE FUTURE
Humanities continues to provide
the ideal foundation for exploring
and understanding the human
experience,
Investigating a branch of philosophy
might get you thinking about ethical
questions,
Learning another language might
help you gain an appreciation for
the similarities in different cultures.

WHY IS ART
APPRECIATION
RELEVANT?
• “Art appreciation is relevant in terms
of daily application in life. Art is one
of the major and meanings in life and
without knowing it even with few
details gives us less appreciation to
life itself. Life is made out of art so art
appreciation is much more relevant
than what people think of” –Santos,
Christian

WHY IS ART
APPRECIATION
RELEVANT?
• “Art appreciation is vital as it allows u
s to see the beauty of our world. Diff
erent people have quoted art everyw
here, but in everything, only a few ha
ve acknowledged the beauty.” –
Toledo, Aeron

WHY IS ART
APPRECIATION
RELEVANT?
• “Important art skills like listening,
watching, and reacting to multiple
perspectives. Sharing art
appreciation also helps us to create
mutual appreciation and in our own
way how we
are all different.” –Tuazon, Gian

WHY IS ART
APPRECIATION
RELEVANT?
• “Art appreciation is relevant because
a person can see it anywhere and it is
the most ancient of human
expressions. It gives us
communication through paintings,
music, etc and without it it will be a
very bland world we live in.” –
Valenzuela, Margeline

WHY IS ART
APPRECIATION
RELEVANT?
• “Art valuable skills such as listening to
multiple perspectives, experiencing
and responding to them. Sharing art
appreciation also enables us to
establish mutual appreciation and
how in our own way we are all
different.” –Ventura, Aaron

DISSEMINATING
ART
ARTAPPRECIATION

DISSEMI
NATING
ARTIn the past, art has often been created for
specific religious and political purposes.
Its dissemination was limited and preset.
Numerous works made under patron- age
were kept in private spaces with limited or
no public access.

MUSÉE D’ ORSAY
In the photograph Musée d’ Orsay, 2, Paris (1989)
The contemporary German artist Thomas Struth (b.
1954) reflects on the role of museums in dis-
seminating art and educating the public
The Musée d’ Orsay, in Paris, is housed in a reno-
vated building, originally a nineteenth-century train
station. The art displayed here includes many works
initially rejected from official exhi- bitions whose
values at the time, both artistic and financial, were
derisory. Today, they are masterpieces of the modern
era.

Deaccession is a very
complicated and often
controversial process.
Museums deaccess art
they perceive, for one
reason or another, as no
longer fitting their
mission and institutional
profile. The sales of these
works contribute to the
development of the
museums’ collections and
programs.

PREPARED BY: GROUP 2 33
ANALYZING ART
• The analysis of art is informed and supported by a wide range of resources.
• This process requires attentive viewing, critical thinking, and meticulous study.
• A first step is a careful examination of the work of art. Rigorous gathering of visual and textual information
follows.
• To value and enjoy art requires time and reflection.
• Familiarity with the experts’ tools and methods will substantially enhance spectators’ ability to understand
art.

THE WORK OF ART: FORM AND CONTENT
Form: Elements of Design
• Elements of design are the means employed by artists
to express their ideas. They are critical to the overall
visual aspects and play a significant role in viewers’
response to art. They include line, color, space, shapes,
light, texture, pattern, and time and motion.
GED108
PREPARED BY: GROUP 2 34

The purpose of interpretation is to understand the meaning
of art.
Visual observation, methodical analysis of texts and
images, and critical and creative thinking are the key to this
process.
Part Four of the book presents criteria, values, and
methodologies used in art interpretation.
36

Criteria
⬗ Art is expected to be a unique and visually appealing object, with either decorative purposes or an
easy-to-understand subject matter.
⬗ Original ideas and images, as long as they are not completely abstract, are essential qualities of
art.
⬗ Art should take a long time to make and be the result of the artist’s creativity. This process should
be impossible, or at least very difficult for the average viewer to duplicate.
⬗ The artist’s talent is manifested mostly by the ability to create realistic paintings and sculptures
which are perceived to have higher artistic merit than other art.
37

Criteria
⬗ The intentions of the artist are essential for understanding art “correctly.”
⬗ Good art is made of durable, not perishable materials.
⬗ Older art is more valuable because of its historical significance.
⬗ Preferably, art must provoke a positive, long-lasting, emotional reaction from the viewer.
⬗ Art should be enjoyable, not shocking or offensive.
⬗ Good art is displayed in museums and galleries, not malls or garages.

• The basic elements used to create a work of art
1. Line - is a mark made upon a surface. There are many different types of lines, including horizontal, vertical, wavy, diagonal,
and more.
2. Point – it is used in multiples they can create patterns.
3. Shape - are areas of enclosed space that are two-dimensional.
4. Form - can be a man-made, geometric shape that is mathematically precise in all its angles and edges.
5. Color - is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected to the eye.
6. Value - refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a certain area.
7. Space - refers to the area within, around, above or below an object or objects
8. Texture - refers to the surface quality in a work of art.
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

• Arrangement of formal elements in art
1. Balance - refers to the visual weight of the elements of the composition.
2. Unity - make elements in a composition appear to belong together.
3. Variety - varying elements and objects in your image, to avoid making them boring.
4. Movement - created in art by the way the artist uses the elements of design.
5. Emphasis - s defined as an area or object within the artwork that draws attention and becomes a focal point.
6. Proportion - refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design
7. Pattern - is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination thereof
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

- means and methods used by artist
MEDIA/MEDIUM

• refers to what the art
- is about,
- what is depicted,
- and what the meaning may be.
CONTENT
Theme - a higher-level of categorization, usually used to identify a major
element.
Subject Matter - is the specific story depicted in the artwork.
Title – is the name in the description that defines the artwork.

• Puzzle - Each group was given a puzzle pieces that has an artwork. The goal of the game was to finish the puzzle
as quickly as possible.
WEEK 3 ACTIVITIES

• Title Competition – Each group will have to come up with a title and each group in the class will have to vote for
a title that they like. The goal of the was to know which title is the best.
• Picture Analysis - The group will flash pictures and everyone needs to analyze the picture if its Symmetrical,
Asymmetrical, or Radial balance.

• The Yuchengco Museum was the museum that we visited. It is located at the heart of RCBC Plaza. Overall, the
museum was wonderful since it was clean very peaceful inside. Each of us analyzed an artwork.

IAN SANTOSIAN SANTOS
My artwork is all about Olaf the snowman from Frozen. I used pencil
only for the artwork and is a pretty rough sketch. I only used basic shapes
such as circles and lines as I am not that good at drawing. The artwork is
monotonous thus only having 2 colors. The artwork is pretty basic.

AERON TOLEDOAERON TOLEDO
The artwork that i made is a vase that contains 4 flowers with different colors. The lines i used on the
flowers are strong and bold, lending my artwork a solid emphasis on the flowers. My artwork was done of
mostly curve and expressive lines giving the artwork the necessary raw shown movement. The colors i used
were mostly vibrant especially for the flowers, this shows the current mood of me while doing the artwork,
vibrant colors means that i have this happy and jolly feeling while making this artwork. I also used a strong
coloring techniques and strokes to properly give the artwork the texture that it needs. I also used dark and
white colors to properly highlight the shadows and to show where is the light source coming from. The white
background is used to place a total emphasis on the main subject which is the flowers.

GIAN TUAZONGIAN TUAZON
So basically what I have done I used line and patterns to create an abstract robot. I drew on
a oslo paper because I know that when it comes to drawing oslo is better than bond paper
because it is rougher than bond paper and thicker good for drawing. I did not use any color
because I am not really good with colors so I only used a Gel pen so that it will be clear and the
ink is not too thick and thin. So in my drawing you will see that I used some patterns through out
the drawing for it not to become too plain for other people and I used contour lines to define
shapes and volume of the objects and the balance is asymmetrical, so overall my artworks
composition is with lines, shapes and patterns

MARGELINE VALENZUELAMARGELINE VALENZUELA
The artwork that I drew is a skull letting out tears that is color black and has a star and moon. The type
of line in the artwork is “Expressive Lines”, as you can see it shows different emotional states through
variations of shapes and directions such as the skull and the tears. As for the type of color, it would be
“Arbitrary” since the color is not normally found in the real life meaning there is no skull that actually let out
tears that is color black. The type of contrast in the artwork is “Simultaneous” since it can influence a color in
close proximity to another when the two are showed at the same time. There is also “Value” in the light since it
contrast the amount between light and dark. The shape of my artwork is circle since it is a skull and even
though there are different shapes, it highlights the circle because that is the first thing you will see in the
artwork. The type of the texture in the painting is “Actual” since it is only the quality of the material used.

AARON VENTURAAARON VENTURA
The finished work of art is a drawing that is considered as a 2D artwork. It is said so
because the artwork showcased a composition that is only limited to depth and height. How
was it made? Obviously, pencil was used first to sketch the outline of the drawing, then
followed by the sign pen to highlight the subject and lastly, it was colored to give creative
and imaginative feature to the artwork itself. Furthermore, the subject that is seen in the
drawing are the Simpsons family because they were ones of my favorite cartoon when I was
a child. Moreover, that movie conveys a sense of humor that gives joy to the viewers just
like when doing a drawing or 2D art since the goal is to give beauty or entertainment.

The term Ancient, or Archaic, Greece refers
to the Classical Age known for its art,
architecture and philosophy. Archaic Greece
saw advances in art, poetry and technology,
but is known as the age in which the polis, or
city-state, was invented.
The name 'Greeks' was given to the people of
Greece later by the Romans. They lived in
mainland Greece and the Greek islands, but
also around the Mediterranean Sea.
GREEK HISTORY

introduction
The Kritios boy belongs to the Late Archaic period and is
considered the precursor to the later classical sculptures of
athletes. The Kritios or Kritian boy was thus named because
it is believed to be the creation of Krito, the teacher of Myron,
from around 480 BCE. The statue is made of marble and is
considerably smaller than life-size at 1.17 m (3 ft 10 ins).
continuation

the kritios boy
With the Kritios Boy the Greek artist has
mastered a complete understanding of how
the different parts of the body act as a
system. The statue supports its body on one
leg, the left, whiles the right one is bent at
the knee in a relaxing state. This stance
forces a chain of anatomical events as the
pelvis is pushed diagonally upwards on the
left side, the right buttock relaxes, the spine
acquires an “S” curve, and the shoulder line
dips on the left to counteract the action of the
pelvis (contra-posto).

riace warriors
The Riace Warriors (also referred to
as the Riace bronzes or Bronzi di
Riace) are two life-size Greek bronze
statues of naked, bearded warriors.
The statues were discovered by
Stefano Mariottini in the
Mediterranean Sea just off the coast
of Riace Marina, Italy, on August 16,
1972.

THE ACROPOLIS AT ATHENS
• The first half of the fifth century was basically one of constant conflict in Greece. Athens and
other cities were fighting the Persians most of the time, and between 462 and 451 BCE Sparta
and Athens were fighting each other as well. Following a truce with Sparta, Athens and Persia
concluded a peace treaty in 450, so that for the first time in many years there was peace in
Greece.
Parthenon, Athens, 447–432 BCE, view
from the northwest.
In 449 BCE, Perikles proposed a massive
building program on the Acropolis and
elsewhere in Athens, creating some of the key
monuments in the history of Greek art. To help
pay for this work, Perikles used revenue from
the silver mines and also appropriated funds
from the treasury of the Delian League, the
confederacy led by Athens to fight the
Persians, which had been moved from Delos to
Athens for safekeeping in 454.

o This appropriation was opposed without success by the allies of Athens, who had, in reality,
become tribute states of an Athenian empire.
o The Parthenon was designed by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates between 447 and 438.
o The Parthenon is larger than the Temple of Zeus at Olympia and has eight columns across the
front and seventeen down the side. This larger size allowed the naos of the building to be just
over 100 Attic feet in length, a hekatompedon, which would hold a massive gold and ivory statue
made by Pheidias.
o The 8:17 colonnade ratio, like 6:13, follows a formula of x:2(x) + 1. Using 4 as “x” in the formula,
one gets a proportion of 4:9, the squares of 2:3, and the basic ratio for the entire Parthenon. For
example, this 4:9 proportion determines the width and length of the building (30.88:69.51 m). It
also determines the height of the colonnade and entablature to the width (13.73:30.88 m). The
diameter of the columns and the distance between the centers of the columns (1.91:4.29 m at
the center) also is a ratio of 4:9. This use of ratio created symmetria in the building, as it had in
the contemporary sculpture of the Doryphoros.
symmetria
regarding proportions in art, commensurability or the appropriate relationship among the parts.

o The drapery style of the
pediment figures, especially
Aphrodite, has the combination
of thick folds and smooth
surfaces clinging to the body that
we saw on the slightly later Nike
of Paionios, and this style is
prevalent in architectural
sculpture and relief for the
remainder of the century. The
most popular example is the
Temple of Athena Nike that was
set on a bastion next to the
Propylaia and built after it in the
420s.
Temple of Athena
Nike

o Ampharete sits on a chair as if in an
interior setting, holding an infant in
her hand. The drapery does clump and
pull tightly, but is not quite as
revealing as the Nike Temple figure
and the pose is quieter and more
contemplative, as would be
appropriate for commemorating the
deceased. Ampharete’s veil makes her
seem like a bride, making her an
idealized Athenian woman.
Ampharete

• PAINTING
• The elements of human representation that we found in
fifth-century sculpture, such as contrapposto,
rhythmos, pathos, and ethos, are also found in painting
of the fifth century.
• Skiagraphia- shading to create volume
• Skenographia- perspective
• It is during the fifth century that large-scale painting
became a prominent medium.
• Cicero as the first great painters in the history of Greek
art, whose figures were less “hard” than those of the
archaic period, and more closely represented reality.
• The contour of the figures is defined by a thick dark
line, helping the flesh color to stand out from the white
background, and the major anatomical features are also
defined by lines as they are in vase painting.
• The Tomb of the Diver is unique and likely shows a
pastiche of influences or sources.

o Turning the corner to the east pediment, its center once
showed the birth of Athena, but only the two wings are
left. On the right are three reclining goddesses, labeled
K, L, and M, probably Hestia, Dione, and Aphrodite
respectively. On the left side is Artemis (G) moving
away from the center, Demeter (F) and Kore (E)
seated, and finally a reclining man labeled D.
Athena – goddess of wisdom and craft
o The composition is a dramatically staged metaphor,
with the reclining figures set in opposition to the center
of the composition.
o Athena brings order and balance, the Pythagorean
mean, to the citizens of her city below.

o The pedimental composition is like a play that
engages the audience can be seen by looking at the
replicated figure of Dionysos (or D) in the corner of
the pediment today
o Parthenon is a religious building and that some of the
most important Athenian rituals, including the
Panathenaia, took place on the Acropolis.
o In looking at the Parthenon, both up close and from
various sites in the city, one can see that the agenda
of Perikles was not just to beautify the city, but to
project an image of its power and prestige
o According to Thucydides, Perikles asked the citizens
of Athens to look upon their city, recently
transformed with new buildings, and by looking at it
become lovers of the city, willing to sacrifice their
lives on its behalf.
