Dilla What are you Discuss the contexts and fundamental components of art going to learn after the Identify the primary and secondary context of an lesson? artwork Context of art Context refers to factors that surrounds a work of art. Every work of art was created within its own historical, political, social, or religious context. Labor and Monkey Business by Pablo Baen (2010) CONTEXT OF ART It includes a lot of conditions such as historical events, economic trends, contemporary cultural developments, religions, attitudes, social norms, other artworks, and other conditions that have influenced the artist in creating his/her work of art. Wall Graffiti at Robinsons Place Iloilo Context is concerned with why the art was produced Questions that helps us determine the context of an art WHAT ARE THE HISTORICAL WHAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES OR WHAT WERE THE PHILOSOPHICAL WHAT WERE THE CULTURAL WHO WAS THE INTENDED EVENTS OCCURRED AT THE TIME TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IDEAS OF THE TIME THAT INFLUENCES?

This also pertains to his/her biography, attitudes, beliefs, interests, values, education and training. Quiapo by Elemer Borlongan Secondary context Addresses the external conditions in which the work was produced: the apparent function of work; religious and philosophical convictions; socio-political and economic structures; and even climate and geography. Let’s try! Determine the Primary and Secondary Context of the following artwork.  Leeroy new art installation Initially trained as a sculptor, Leeroy’s work blends theatre, fashion, film, production design, and public art. He graduated from the prestigious Philippine High School for the Arts, before continuing his Fine Arts degree at the University of the Philippines. His large-scale public art uses common objects and materials found in everyday environments. In the sand dunes of Paoay, Ilocos Norte, Leeroy collaborated with the local government to convert discarded water tanks and cement fountains into a post- apocalyptic park filled with sculptures. Payatas by Oscar villamiel (2013) Born in Caloocan City, Manila, Villamiel is a multimedia artist known for his large-scale installations consisting of objects found in local communities. His art career may have started later in life, but his installations have enthralled audiences for the past decade. He initially worked as a set designer for television, a leather bag craftsman and a successful t-shirt company entrepreneur before holding his first solo exhibition in 2006. His massive installation Payatas, which features thousands of doll heads, was chosen to represent the Philippines in the Singapore Biennale exhibition in 2013. Villamiel’s work reflects the current socio-political situation in the country, highlighting elements of poverty, consumerism, and religion. Elmer borlongan rehimen (1988) The Manila-based artist often refers to Filipino culture in his paintings, drawing from everyday scenes of local urban life, which sharply depict an imperfect world. Borlongan’s work is a favorite among collectors and at auctions. In his first major work, Rehimen (1988), he uses bold brushwork to manipulate the Marlboro emblem, which is guarded by a pack of dogs as an emaciated figure lays in despair in the foreground. The painting represents the marginalized Filipino people who are living in poverty, with no way of moving forward.  To review… What is Primary What is Secondary Context? Context? Fundamental components of art A. Form This is perceived by the senses and its ideas are to be communicated through the arrangement of elements as a whole. Formal Elements- line, shape, color, texture, mass, volume, space Overall Composition- arrangement of the elements Materials And Techniques Imagination- allows us to generate mental pictures, ideas, and sensations that do not exist in the real world. Good Morning HOBOS, 2015 by Dex Fernandez Mixed-media B. Language Is a medium by which cultural meanings are formed and communicated. It is also about meaning-making beyond textual and verbal means. Interpretation is concerned with the search for meaning. To interpret is to establish a meaningful connection between what we see and what we feel in a particular work of art. EDSA MONUMENT BY EDUARDO CASTRILLO (1993)  Mode of production This is analyzed through the artwork’s political economy. This is concerned with how the work is created, produced, and distributed. Political economy- is concerned with power and the distribution of economic resources in the context of art production. This involves the relationship of the state in cultural production. for example, the state’s initiative in preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This political economy of art also focuses on how society or the state provides the needs of its people including art as their need for cultural expression.  Form To sum up… Language Mode of Production Do you have any questions? That ends our lesson 2! Independent learning WATCH VIDEOS READ ARTICLES The additional resources will help you in your pt Prepare for a quiz covering lesson 1 & 2 on friday Do you have any questions?
