Study Notes

Art and Humanities

Art and humanities are essential for human well-being, helping us live and understand ourselves and others.
The objectives of studying art and humanities include distinguishing between humanities and sciences, understanding Filipino personhood, examining the history of art, comparing Western and Filipino thought, and discovering Filipino identity through art.

The Filipino Concept of Art

The Filipino concept of art is deeply rooted in the nation's cultural heritage and identity.
Art is a reflection of the Filipino's shared human experiences, emotions, and values.

Artist vs. Artisan

An artist is a person who exhibits exceptional skills in visual and/or performing arts, characterized by sensitivity, creativity, and the ability to interpret ideas into artistic forms.
An artisan, on the other hand, is a skilled craftsworker who creates objects of great beauty using their hands.

Western Art Classifications

In Western art, there are two classifications: major art and minor art.
Major art, created by artists, focuses on the form of beauty, while minor art, created by artisans, emphasizes functionality and usefulness.

The Role of Art in Understanding Ourselves

Art helps us understand ourselves and our fellowmen, transcending language barriers.
Through art, we gain insight into the lives and experiences of our ancestors and the different cultures that shape our national identity.

Sensorial Experiences in Art

Sensorial experiences in art refer to how we experience art using our senses, often involving multiple senses simultaneously.
These experiences are complex and dynamic, influencing how we articulate and express ourselves in art, popular culture, and everyday life.

Describing Artworks

When describing art, consider the colors, mood, and environment, as well as the emotional responses they evoke.

The Importance of Light and Texture in Design

Light is a crucial element of design, influencing our mood and environment.
Natural light, in particular, can affect our emotions and behavior, and its direction, warmth, and coldness can impact our physical and psychological responses.
Texture is also essential, as we tend to touch and explore unfamiliar materials, associating certain textures with certain emotions or qualities, such as the "touch of class."
