WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT IN THE COMMUNITY THEY BELONG? In this lesson, you will learn to: 1. Relate the significance of art forms from the regions; 2. Promote arts from the regions.  Let’s Ponder: “Do you know that every art piece has its own meaning?” Art has meaning because… it was created together with the emotion and knowledge of the author or artist. Filipinos expressed their thoughts, feelings, and struggles in many ways in either language, literature, history, art, music, or Philosophy. The Philippines is obviously rich in culture and art. Its manifestation can be bestowed in terms of the art scene and responses to socio-economic and political issues. The Filipino artists are instantly conscious of the ancestral roots trying to shun away the shadow of colonial influence. The fact that the Philippines had been colonized for several decades, thus the way of life of the Filipinos had been influenced in many ways. “WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTS IN A REGION?”  Contemporary art is important in every Filipino life because every contemporary art reflects someone’s feelings, ideas or perspectives. Through contemporary art, Filipinos can express themselves observable for others. It is a means of personal expression. The importance of arts in a regional development should not be underestimated. Art can reflect, and recreate meanings and identities for regional communities. Artists can also communicate their region, their community, and their culture to outsiders in ways that generate interest, respect and even understanding. Every art form has an important role in our culture. The dance, whether ethnic, social and spectacular, is an important part of culture. Dancing provides pleasure and enjoyment, relaxation, and improves social life of people of all ages. SOME ART FORMS AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE Madonna of the Slum was painted by Vicente Manansala.

As what you can see in the picture, a mother hugs her child with her two hands, and the child holds her mother’s face.
