Integrative Arts and Philippine Art History

Study Notes

Integrative arts involve a creative process where students learn by actively creating and doing, rather than solely through listening.
This approach facilitates collaboration, reflection, and demonstration of knowledge through various art forms, combining the arts with other subject areas.
The term "integrative" signifies the blending of multiple knowledge types, skills, and objectives into a cohesive whole.
Artworks, such as paintings or sculptures, can reflect social change, portraying themes derived from students' learning experiences and evolving objectives.

Philippine art has evolved from precolonial times to contemporary forms, showcasing Filipino identity and culture.
Indigenous art and that influenced by colonizers contributed to the current understanding of contemporary Filipino art.
The "Spolarium" by Juan Luna serves as an example of an artwork reflecting social and political meanings.

Arts education positions students as active meaning-makers and encourages them to reflect on and interpret their learning through art.
Students are expected to develop the ability to create original works, revise them, and conceptualize ideas that express their understanding.

Line: Defined as a continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point; guides viewer's eye through compositions.
Shape: Creates movement and contributes to the overall design; can be flat and two-dimensional, limited to length and width.
Form: Encompasses three-dimensional aspects that add depth to a piece.
Texture: Affects the perceived feel or appearance of objects within the artwork; techniques like "impasto" add actual texture to painted surfaces.
Value: Refers to the lightness or darkness of colors, which helps establish contrast and depth within a composition.

José Joya is noted for using bold colors and multiple techniques, such as layering and impasto, to create dynamic visual experiences in his paintings.
