However, according to different sources, art can be defined according to following: ✔ The word “art” is from a Latin “arti”, which means craftsmanship, inventiveness, mastery of form, skill. It includes literature, music, paintings, photography, sculpture, etc. It serves as an original record of human needs and achievements. It usually refers to the so-called “fine arts” (e.g., graphics, plastic, and building) and to the so-called “minor arts” (everyday, useful, applied, and decorative arts). ✔ It is an old and ultimate form of human expression in terms of thoughts, feelings, and emotion with the use of different medium and form. ✔ It is the holistic experience of human perspective with the use of personalized style and motivations in creating it. Ano nga ba ang meaning ng art? In a way, mahirap siya idefine kasi nagkakaroon ng confusion kung ano yung concrete definition niya kasi nga art is subjective(pag sinabing subjective, nakadepende sa feelings/tastes/opinion ng mga tao). Pero according to different sources, pwede idefine yung art according sa mga sumusunod. First is from Art’s etymology. Art came from the latin word “arti”. Next is ang art daw is an old and ultimate form of human expression in terms sa thoughts, feelings, and emotions with the use of different mediums and forms. Tapos ang art daw is the holistic experience ng human perspective na ginagamitan ng personalized style and motivation. And lastly, ang Art kase nag sisilbe bilang record ng human needs and achievements. Humanities: Its meanings Generally speaking, Humanities is a branch of knowledge that investigates human constructs. Furthermore, it can be defined as: ✔ It came from a Latin word “humanus” which means educated. ✔ It refers to the learning of arts such as architecture, dance, literature, music, painting, theatre, and sculpture (Sanches, 2011). ✔ They are branches of knowledge that focuses on the human opinions, and relationships (Machlis, 2003) ✔ Humanities is more concerned on how a person expresses his/her feelings. These feelings can be in facial manifestations or body movements. Laughing, crying, clenching our fists, curling our toes, stretching out our fingers, and crossing our arms are representations of humanities (Menoy, 2009). So generally speaking, ang humanities kasi is the branch of knowledge na nag iinvestigate ng human constructs(pag sinabing constructs, eto yung object of thought mo. Ano ba ang object of thought? Eto yung mga nag eexist sa imagination lang pero in the real world, can be represented or has a model.) So ang humanities, galing sa latin word na “humanus” which means educated.

It helps develops critical and innovative skills in thinking and teaches essential qualities in listening, observing, and responding to multiple viewpoints It also requires an ability to differentiate what is apparent and what is not (Gargaro & Jilg, 2016 and Sanger, 2012). ✔ It refers to the knowledge and understanding of the universal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. ✔ It is the act of understanding, connecting, and relating on a work of art. When we look around, we see a lot of things that relate to art. Art can come in the form of many items such as posters, paintings, portraits, covers, and more. People look at art in different ideas that they want to know more about or may be studying. Art can shows ideas about the past, what is currently happening and what may happen in the future. It can also show meaning, love, boredom, and creativity (Ramos, 2012). So ano naman ang art appreciation?

The Functions of Art From the very beginning, arts have been part of human history. It described, defined, and deepened the human experience. In the Prehistoric period for example, peoples performed songs and dances to gratify their ancestors. Likewise, hunters brushed different figures on the walls of caves to depict their day to day experiences. Arts also serve several functions which are item outcome to its purpose (Menoy, 2009), namely: From the very beginning, part ng human history ang art. Nadescribe, nadefine, at napalalim niya ang human experiences. Kunwari noong unang panahon, yung mga tao kumakanta at sumasayaw either para sa mga diyos/idols na pinaniniwalaan nila. Pero aside from that, ang art kase may several functions that serve their own purpose. 1. Individual Function- The artists perform arts because of the passion of their respective art forms. A singer presents a concert for free because of his advocacy and the love of singing. For example, Regine Velaquez (Asia’s Songbird) is wellknown for possessing extensive vocal range. Pag sinabing individual function, ang meaning lang naman niyan is, ginagawa ng artist ang art because of passion or gusto lang niya. 2. Social Function- Man associates with others through his art performance that arouses social consciousness. Examples of this association are the choral singing, group dancing, public art exhibits and other practices. Social function naman ibig sabihin, yung tao ina-associate niya yung sarili niya with others through his art performance. Example neto is yung kapag may isasayaw ka nung Prom niyo. Or kapag nagsisimba no diba may mga prayer na kinakanta? 3. Economic Functions- Arts are emerging as a potent force in the economic life of people assumes an essential role as a direct and indirect contributor to state economies. Example of this is by generating economic vitality in underperforming regions through crafts, tourism, and cultural attractions. Pag sinabing economic function ng art, ang ibig sabihin lang naman is yung art may kakayahan na mag generate ng economy via tourism, crafts, and cultural attractions. Kunwari sa baguio, aside dun sa Lion and haunted mansion, kilala din sila kahit papano sa mga walis nila haha 4. Political Functions- Art provides a forum for ideas that will lead to employment, prestige, status, and power. During election period, for example, the candidates created their artworks (poster) which expresses their propaganda, agendas and political views about making a stable society. Ang art kase diba is nag poprovide ng medium na naglalaman ng ideas natin? So kapag Page 5 of 7 Downloaded by Gamer 55 (readyplayer.1432@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|15963282 DON HONORIO VENTURA STATE UNIVERSITY Cabambangan, Villa de Bacolor 2001, Pampanga, Philippines Tel.

Historical Functions- Art is an essential technique for information to be recorded and preserved. It serves to document or reconstruct historical figure and events. Most arts that are in Museums, for example, are filled with amazing stories about the world most excellent and most creative people who brought us the treasures. By looking at a work of art’s colors, materials, and symbolism, we can learn about the story and culture that produced it in the past. Diba nga art is a record of human achievements? So syempre since record siya, meron siyang historical functions. Naidodocument ng art at nerereconstruct niya yung mga historical figures and events. Example na dito is yung mga museum. Puno ng mga story and art made by creative artists. Another example is yung MacArthur park sa Leyte. May statue si Douglas MacArthur kasi finulfill niya yung promise niya na “I shall return” 6. Cultural Functions- Art is an articulation and transmission of new information and values. Example, when you think of Manila, you probably think of Fort Santiago, Luneta Park, and its world-renowned churches, or the famous Intramuros. Ang cultural function ng art is to preserve and strengthen a community’s sense of belongingness pati na rin sa pagbuo ng personal identity. So kunwari kapag sinabing NCR or Manila, ang mga cultural sites na kilala sila is yung Fort Santiago, Luneta Park, or yung Intramuros. Pwede rin yung Vigan City or yung Rice Terraces. 7. Physical Functions- Buildings are artistically designed and constructed to protect their occupants and make their life inside more meaningful. Architects, Industrial and Graphic Designers, and Interior Decorators share responsibility in building environment that balance forms and functions. So yung mga building, artistically designed and constructed no? Pero sapat na ba yung maganda lang? Syempre hindi. Kailangan kaya ka protektahan at kayang gawin meaningful ang buhay mo. 8. Aesthetic Functions- Any artwork means beauty. It is visual spice for gracefully adorned interiors and can bring out the most elegant features of different décor elements. It reasonably reproduced visual images which communicate through fantastic persuasions and meaningful words. Nadiscuss na kanina. Ang aesthetic function ng art is.. to provide aesthetic. Para makapag provide ng visual spice or magkaron ka ng tinitignan na maganda na pwedeng mag evoke ng feelings. The Purpose of Art Creativity or imagination is the primary basis of art. Art is created when an artist produces a stimulating experience that is considered by his audience to have artistic merit. The artwork is the visual expression of an idea or experience of an artist, through the use of a medium (Frank, 2011). It allows expression of the individuality of the artist.

Some purposes of art are the following (Marcos et al., 2011). Ang pinaka basis ng art kase is creativity or imagination. Ang art nabubuo yan kapag may artist na gumawa ng something na nag provide sa audience niya ng stimulating experience. So for one, ang purpose ng art is para maexpress yung individuality ng artist. 1. Create Beauty- Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, and intuitions. It is the communication of concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. The Artist has considered nature as the standard of beauty. The example of beauty can be in a snowy mountain scene, and the art is the photograph of it shown to the family. So ang art na ginawa ng artist, is yung kung ano yung maganda para sa kanya. Or simply put, ang standard of beauty ng artist is yung creation niya. 2. Provide Decoration- Artworks are used to create a pleasing environment. It is intended to beautify things to please and amuse the viewers through its colors and patterns. Artworks kase are used para makagawa ng pleasing environment din. Isa sa mga intention ng art is para mapaganda yung mga bagay bagay para matuwa or maentertain yung viewers or mga tao. 3. Reveal Truth- Artwork helped to pursue truth and attempted to reveal about how the world works. It is a kind of language that allows artists to send a message to the souls of the recipients that help change their attitudes, their sensibility, and their ethics. Ang art kasi is our expression of thoughts and emotions. Ang art nakatulong to para mareveal yung katotohanan kahit papano kasi may mga artwork na ginawa para makapagbigay satin ng mensahe na pwedeng makatulong satin na baguhin yung attitude, sensibility, pati ethics natin. Example is yung mga works ni Rizal. El Fili at Noli. Or yung Spoliarium ni Juan Luna. 4. Express Values- Arts can illuminate our inner lives and enrich our emotional world. Through arts, the artist will be encouraged to develop their creativity, challenge, and communication skills. It also promotes self- esteem and wellness. Ang art diba nga is our expression of thoughts and emotions? Ang art considered siya kahit papano as communication kasi naipaparating neto yung mga nararamdaman natin or mga concepts na hindi natin alam sabihin. 5. Commemorate Experience- Art serves to convey the personal experiences of an artist and record his impression in his work. 6. Create Harmony- An artist makes use of the composition to put an order in the diverse content of his work. Page 7 of 7 Downloaded by Gamer 55 (readyplayer.1432@gmail.com)
