9.  A symbol, in general is a visible sign of something invisible
such as an idea or a quality. Well-known symbols arise from
conventional usage association and general relationship. The
conventional type of symbol is not absent from works of art.
But in poetry and painting, the symbol has freer development.
It transcends the everyday run-of-the-mill sign and assumes a
new and fresh meaning, originating from a highly personal and
even unique association born in the mind of the poet or
painter.

11.  This method was introduced in Germany during the first
decade of the 20th century. Its influence were felt by the
European artist from 1910 up to the present. It also seemed
to have influenced the playwrights in English and Filipino
like of the work of Amelia Lapena-Bonifacio in Sepang Loca
(1958). The exponents of expressionism believed in the
necessity of a spiritual rebirth for man in an age that was
first becoming influenced by materialism. Paul Dumol’s
Paglilitis ni Mang Serapio (1969), and Revel Aguila’s
“Mapait sa Bao” are plays which depicted the idea of
rebirth of the individual is possible only within the context
of the transformation of the entire society.

13. Hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang kirot ng paghihiwalay.
Hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang sindak ng pag-iisa. Sol!
ITOY KAMATAYAN! Araw-araw umuupo sa bangketa,
binabantayan ang nagdaraang mga tao,
nagmamakaawa, nagpapalimos, Diyos ko!
PABAYAAN NAMAN NIINYONG ILIGTAS KO ANG
AKING SARILI MULA SA PAGKABULOK! Nabubulok
na balat, nabubulok na kamay, nabubulok na
laman,nabubulok na ugat,nabubulok na buto.
This is one of the dialogues of Mang Serapio fron
Mumol’s Paglilitis ni Mang Serapio which expresses
the truth, life, or reality.

14.  The philosophy and spirit of a particular period in painting
usually have been reflective in many of its visual arts. The
ideas and aspirations of the ancient cultures, of the
Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods of
Western art and, more recently, of the 19th-century Art
Nouveu and Secessionist movements were expressed in much
of the architecture, interior design, furniture, textiles,
ceramics, dress design, and handcrafts, as well as in the fine
arts, of their times.

15.  Following the Industrial Revolution,
with the redundancy of
handcraftsmanship and the loss off
direct communication between the
fine artist and society, idealist
efforts to unite the arts and crafts in
service to the community were made
by William Morris in Victorian
England and by the Bauhaus in 20th-
century Germany.

16.  Although their aims were not
fully realized, their influences,
like those of the short-lived De
Stijl and constructivist
movements, have been far-
reaching, particular in
architecture, furniture, and
typographic design.

17.  Michelangelo and Leonard da Vinci were
painters, sculptors, and architects. Although no
artist since have excelled in so wide a range of
creative design, leading 20th-century painters
have expressed their ideas in many other
media.
 The discovery or reappraisal of design
technique and imagery in the art forms and
processes of other cultures have been the
important stimuli to the development of more
recent style of Western painting, whether or not
their traditional significant has been fully
understood.

18.  One of the earliest of these
influences was possibly from
the theater, where the
ancient Greek are thought to
have been the first to employ
the illusions of optical
perspective.
