honestly as possible what is observed through the
senses. He cannot help being influenced by what he
feels or think.

when the presentation and organization of details
seem so natural.

11. This is used when the artist become so interested
in one phase of a scene or situation that he does
not show the subject at all as an objective reality,
but only his idea or his feeling about it . Abstract
means ‘to move away or separate’’. The
painter or artist paints the picture not as
really looked. The picture is not just like life. It
is not ‘’realistic’’.

sreapio’’ Revel Aguila’s ‘‘mapait sa bato’’.

chaos and tragedy.

46. EXPRESSIONISM

48. The impressionist style of painting is
characterized chiefly by concentration on the
general impression produced by a scene or
object and the use of unmixed primary colors
and small strokes to simulate actual reflected
light.
IMPRESSIONISM

49. Impressionism
The term 'Impressionist' was first used as an insult in
response to an exhibition of new paintings in Paris in 1874. A
diverse group of painters, rejected by the art establishment,
defiantly set up their own exhibition. They
included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas.
What characterizes Impressionism for most people nowadays, is
both the subject matter and the technique. Landscapes, and
scenes from modern urban and suburban life painted in bright,
pure colours are typical. Impressionists often began (and
sometimes completed) their paintings outdoors rather in a studio.
Their rapidly applied brushstrokes are often visible.

54. *To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced,
and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of
movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in
words, so to transmit that feeling that others may
experience the same feeling--this is the activity of art.
*Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man
consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on
to others feelings he has lived through, and that other
people are infected by these feelings and also experience
them.
So what is an ART? (Leo Tolstoy)

55. Arts are an opportunity to express what we
think, what we feel, what we love or hate, what
we hope, what we want to change, what we want
from the future and admire from the past, and
whatever else might move us. It's part of
humanity to want and need to express those
things. Not having the arts is like living in a black
and white world when color is an option.
What is ART for me?

HOW I SEE THINGS AND FEEL ABOUT
IT AND THEN TRANSMIT IT TO A
CANVASS, THE FOLLOWING WAS MY
SOME OF THE FINISHED WORKS…

60. A lot of what artists do is tell stories. They
help us make sense of our world, and they
broaden our experience and understanding.
The arts enable us to imagine the
unimaginable, and to connect us to the past,
the present, and the future, sometimes
simultaneously.
