Vieyah Angela A. Vicente RTPM Dumaguete Science High School 12 – Vanguard (Set B) Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions Grade 12- Valkyrie/ Vanguard/ Altair Directions: Read and answer the following questions being asked below. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. 1. How can you say that a visual artwork has movement The orientation of the feature lines as seen in the artwork created by the artist indicate motion and with this, one can determine that the visual artwork has movement. The artwork clearly depicts people marching while carrying a hut, implying movement. 2. When do you say that an artwork has harmony? A visual artwork has harmony when it incorporates elements that complement each other and are united in one piece. The color contrast depicting both shadow and light highlights the point of focus of the artwork and draws the viewer's attention. 3. How can your knowledge of the elements and principles of art help you in appreciating the mural painting of Carlos “Botong” Francisco entitled Bayanihan? One delightful activity is art appreciation. We are doing ourselves a favor by appreciating the elegance embedded in the artwork or other forms of art. Knowing the principles of art allows me to fully appreciate Mr. Francisco's creative abilities, his creation where he implemented his styles and strategy, spent effort and time on, and focusing at this mural painting causes me to feel a certain type of sentimentality. It aids in art appreciation as it allows individuals to acknowledge features and potentially the artist's original intent in creating that artwork.
