Guess the word. Combine the pictures and identify what word it is depicting. 1. + = 2. + = Page 6 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 3. + = 4. + = What do you think connects the words you arranged earlier to our topic? What kind of art material would you be, and why did you choose that particular material? Explain your response? Is it necessary to have complete and expensive materials to create a good artwork in making art? Why or why not? Explain your answer. The arts are available in every place. It should all be labeled art in our environment. This chapter will learn about humanities and how a person may understand art. HUMANITIES is the Latin term “Humanus,” meaning educated, human, cultured, and refined. Examples of humanities include architecture, dancing, literature, music, painting, theater, and sculpting. Humanities are interested in how their emotions are communicated. It is also the study of different cultural aspects of man, his frailties in life, and the improvement it has to undergo. Humanities is a discipline of study that deals with people's thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Humanities would help uplift value and dignity (Bascara and Avillanoza, 2006). According to scientific studies, the influence of art on the brain impacts the human quality of life. Art comes from the Latin “Arti,” which means skill, naiveté, and Page 7 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 mastery. There are stages to consider (Ramos and Obiena, 2020). The following stages are essential to showcase your creativity as an artist: 1. Development Stage (Creation Stage)- Artists create their artwork through thinking. Artists are highly sensitive people, incredibly aware of everything surrounding them (Sanchez, Abad, and Jao, 2004). They usually wow people by employing their creative imagination. 2. Adaptation Stage (Materials Creation)- In this stage, the artist frequently uses various mediums or materials to convey an idea. For example, a painter uses pigments, a sculptor uses stones, metal, or wood, authors use words, an architect uses different building materials, and a choreographer uses movement and people in their creation. 3. Completion Stage (Form Creation)-The variety of forms artists employ to communicate their ideas. It is viewed as a form of artistic expression that is classified as fine art. This form is used to describe the artwork’s physical characteristics. Artists have developed various forms that can be considered their finished product. Arts can be used for a variety of purposes in addition to design. From the earliest to the present, art has always been a component of our culture. It constitutes one of the oldest and most important means of expression developed by man. Function of Arts The functions of arts refer to the intended utilization of the artwork and have major classification according to functional and non-functional. Functional is according to its usefulness. For example, art was originally used for religion to have a representation. We also have the commemoration purpose under functional or secular function. On the other hand, we have the Non-functional, which refers to “art for art.” You create art for the sake of beautifying, leisure, and pleasure purposes. The following are the other functions of Arts: 1. Individual or personal function- an artist acts because they are passionate about the art genre in question. Art is a form of self-expression or fulfillment for them 2. Public/Social Function—these go beyond the inherent value of the arts to the social benefits they provide. Through the performance of their art, the artist engages with others and raises societal consciousness. 3. Commercial Function- art contributes to the state’s economy directly and indirectly. 4. Political Function- art provides a platform for exchanging ideas to increase power, position, employment, and prestige. For example, the running candidate employs art to create his poster during a campaign. 5. Historical Function- Art is an essential tool for recording and preserving information. Its purpose is to record or re-create historical individuals and events. 6. Cultural Function- Art is the expression and dissemination of new ideas and values. 7. Structural/Physical Function- Buildings are planned and built-in innovative ways to make living safer and more meaningful. Architects, industrial and graphic designers, and interior designers create a beautiful and functional space. Page 8 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 8. Religious/Spiritual Function- Religious value can be bolstered through the arts. One example is renowned Filipino artist Joey Velasco’s Hapag ng Pag-asa (The Table of Hope, in photo), which depicts a distinct depiction of Christ’s Last Supper. It’s also a replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. 9. Aesthetic Function. Any work of art is beautiful. It’s a visual flavor for ornately decorated interiors that can highlight the most beautiful qualities of various décor pieces. It faithfully replicated graphical visuals that convey information through spectacular persuasions and meaningful sentences. Art is like love; it’s not easy to define. Art requires the creativity of a particular person, and creativity is defined as the fundamental basis of arts. It is a trait of an artist that will continually develop in his life to express feelings or a way of solving problems. Aside from the fact that art can serve different functions, it also has a purpose. Some purposes of arts are as follows: 1. Creates Beauty- Art is a way for us to express ourselves. It is the expression of thoughts that cannot be expressed solely through words. 2. Commemorates Experience- Art is used to transmitting the artist’s personal experiences and record the artist’s impressions in his work. 3. Creates Harmony- An artist uses composition as a technique used by artists to organize the disparate elements of their works. 4. Provides Decoration- Artworks help to create a fun atmosphere. Its purpose is to beautify objects to satisfy and entertain visitors with their colors and patterns. 5. Reveals Truth- Artwork aimed to demonstrate how the world works and to seek the truth. It is a language that transmits signals to the recipients’ spirits, assisting them in changing their attitudes, sensitivity, and ethics. 6. Expresses Values- Artists will be encouraged to enhance their creativity, challenge, and communication skills through the arts. It also boosts one’s self-esteem and overall health. Art is not just for those born with talent, but it also developed to sum things up. It was not created just for leisure, but Art has been proven to be with us since the very beginning because everything we do and all that surrounds us is a product of our Art.

As an artist, which do you prefer? An output that is beautifully made or an artwork representing your emotion? Justify your answer. Well done answering! Let's get to the core of the lesson now. The difference between esthetics and craft will be learned in this chapter. The word “esthetic,” meaning perception, is derived from the Greek word “eisthesis.” Alexander Baumgarten, a German philosopher, popularized it in the 18th century, a science dedicated to studying art and beauty (1714-1762). The laws that regulate nature and beauty, especially visual art, are thus referred to as esthetic arts (Rader, 1979). On the other side, the phrase “Handwerk” comes from the English word Kraft (Craft), meaning “power” or “capacity.” It is most frequently employed in decorative arts or artistic pursuits. It also refers to using your hands to utilize your skills for pleasure purposes or usage. It prefers to do things for other human purposes and shows its beauty for another purpose than the object itself (Dutton, 1990). Due to the design reform of William Morris, arts & crafts arose throughout Europe during the 19th century. Morris, a communist, felt a designer should produce finely interwoven designs using any medium for fruit, flower, or leaf pattern. If crafts are mass- produced, they can be classified as industrial design. Here are the Arts and Crafts Types: 1. Textile Craft. Many countries are noted for their traditional textiles, including unique designs that reflect their culture. Textile is derived from the Latin word texere, which means to braid or create. Any craft that uses fabric, yarn, or surface design falls under this category. It makes practical and ornamental items out of synthetic fibers. These crafts include the following: a. Cross-stitch- This craft is a popular form of counted thread embroidery in which an X-shaped stitch pattern is used to form a picture. Page 12 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 b. Crocket- creates fabric from yarn, thread, or other material strands using a crochet hook. c. Sewing- is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a needle and thread. d. Weaving- is a fabric-making technique that involves interlacing threads at right angles to create a fabric or cloth. e. Tatting- is a handcrafting skill that entails creating durable lace using a series of knots and loops. f. Shoemaking- It is the ability to create footwear. g. Lace- is a hand- or machine-made fabric patterned with open holes in the work. h. Macrame- is a type of textile-making that requires only a few simple instruments and a basic understanding of knotting. i. Millinery- It is the art and craft of making hats. j. String art- It's a pre-arranged pattern of colored threads woven between points to create an abstract geometric design. 2. Wood Crafts- It is a skill that is related to the woods. The following are examples of woodcrafts: a. Carpentry- Cutting, shaping, and installing building materials during structures is a skilled trade. b. Marquetry- refers to the art and craft of applying veneer pieces (thin slices of wood) to a structure to form decorative designs. c. Woodturning- is a type of woodworking in which wooden items are created. d. Wood carving - is a style of woodworking in which a knife or a chisel is used to carve a wooden figure or object. e. Cabinetry- It is the ability to construct a box-shaped piece of furniture with doors and drawers to store various items. f. Upholstery- It's the art of making a cushion or piece of furniture. 3. Metal Crafts- These terms allude to creating artistic metal designs for practical and aesthetic objectives. Among Asian metal crafts, metalwork offers elaborate and exciting designs. Jewelry such as anklets, bracelets, and neckpieces was also metalwork. Each metal object has geometric motifs engraved on it or is designed to be attractive or valuable. Examples include bronze, gold, tin, silver, lead, brass, and iron. The following crafts are also included: a. Jewelry- Brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are examples of personal jewelry. b. Metal Casting- is a method of transferring materials such as bronze, copper, glass, aluminum, and iron into a mold with a hollow space of the desired shape, which is then allowed to solidify. Page 13 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 c. Welded sculpture- Welding processes are used to create statues in this art form. 4. Paper Craft- It's a tough plain-woven fabric that's used to make backpacks, tents, marquees, and other environmentally friendly things. The following crafts are also included: a. Bookbinding. It's the process of putting together a book from folded or unfolded paper or other materials. b. Card making. It's a method of making greeting cards by hand. c. Collage.

The process of organizing, preserving and presenting personal or family history in the form of a book is referred to as bookbinding. g. Rubber stamping. It is a craft wherein the ink is applied to the carved pattern or molded into a rubber sheet. 5. Plants Crafts. These refer to a skill, using plant parts as the medium. These include the following: a. Corn dolly making. It relates to creating shapes and figures (known as ―dollies‖) from straw (such as barley, oats, and wheat). b. Floral design. It is the art of using plant materials and flowers to create a pleasing and balanced composition. c. Pressed flower craft. It consists of drying flower petals or leaves in a flower press to flatten. The Principle of Arts Principles are applied to determine the organization and standardization of visual aspects in art. This set of criteria is essential for the study and evaluation of art. The principle of art explains how an artist uses art to generate an outcome and communicate the artist’s aim. Arts components are visual tools that artists utilize to construct a composition. Visual aspects include line, shape, color, value, texture, and space. The principles of art are created by blending components of art. The following are the basic principle of arts: 1. Harmony- Visual harmony is established when all parts of one artwork are interconnected. Harmony creates a cohesive composition by employing similar geometric shapes, lines, and colors. This means that each element must be unified and must “hang together” as one entity. Each element is necessary to its value and essential to the work. 2. Variety- It is a stable concoction that demonstrates the mixing principle. There should be a dominant theme for you to base to make it more appealing, so even if your Page 14 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 presentation or designs will be varied, all are related and connected. It’s done using varied lines, colors, and forms inside an artwork to draw attention to certain places or add visual interest. 3. Balance- The proportion of conflicting visual forces is what this term alludes to. The axis or the center point is established to maintain balance. When forms, colors, textures, or shapes are harmoniously mixed, it is called art. There are three approaches to achieving balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radically symmetrical. 4. Movement- It’s utilized to give a sense of direction to a piece of art. The artist uses visual progression to draw the viewer’s attention to the artwork’s focal point. 5. Emphasis- refers to an artist’s requirement to create a focal point inside a work of art. This creative aspect is a vital part of the work, and spectators’ attention should be drawn to it. 6. Proportion- When the sizes of the elements in the artwork are harmoniously harmonized, a proportion is established. To show the human form in the appropriate proportion, the artist typically tries to rationally make all of the composition links. Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man is an excellent picture for displaying the human body's proportions. 7. Rhythm- is the application of visual patterns to a piece of art. Models are made by repeating specific colors, lines, or shapes in specified regions of an artwork. In a painting, they can be utilized to create a variety of textures. Repetition of lines in artwork, for example, might make a rhythm by implying movement. Page 15 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 Sewing Instructions: 1.

Everything has history, has its beginnings. The same with other aspects of life, art has its history. Art is part of life because arts are already present, doing their unique functions in the early stages of life. In this lesson, we will discuss how art developed and how it has helped people from the beginning up to the present time. You will discover how art evolved, especially in the early periods of life, and the artistic contributions of Western countries, so let us start. Pre-Historic Western Arts (20,000-8,000 B.C.E.) From 20,000 and 8000 B.C., it displays a wide range of pre-historic art worldwide. All were made before the invention of formal writing when human populations were traveling and expanding over the globe. According to Susan Vreeland, art history analyzes artworks and the people who created them. Arts existed before humankind, and when they initially began, they were used for many purposes. Today, we will speak about art history and how it has changed over time. Art history extends back to prehistoric periods through the whole history of humanity. Art is a manifestation of the emotional and intellectual link between man and the world. According to Leroi-Gourhan, the psychophysiological perceptions, religious magic, and humanity’s techno-economic phases could allow us to understand the beginnings of art. Stone era (Neolithic and Paleolithic), bronze age, and iron age are the four major periods. Small sculptures and cave drawings are the only prehistoric objects that have survived. Several forms of art were created and performed to communicate with the divine. Older adults employed visual images to depict their visions of the world. Animals are one of the artists’ most popular subjects. The Gravures, paintings, sculptures, and pottery are beautiful expressions and complex that show socio-spiritual systems. Pre-historic arts are works of art created by ancient people before writing. It is a significant symbolic action of the civilization that it brought forth. Fleming and Honor (Honor and Fleming, 2005). Scientists, such as archaeologists, have all identified old sculptures (totemic statues, ivory carvings), petroglyphs and pictures (graphic images of art and symbols), and megalithic artworks (works associated with the formation of stones). All tools, hunting objects, burial arrangements, small-scale sculptures, and animal ruins were discovered during excavations in locations where most European-painted caves may be found. Cave art was significant in terms of content and existence from some perspectives. On the other hand, others believe that the picture of animals is linked to some hunting magic. Page 18 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 Hunting was vital for early people to survive. Animal art is sometimes seen as an attempt to influence hunting success, boost the authority of wild animals, or govern early humans, all of which are necessary for their survival. Before this time, researchers had never fully understood why and how archaic people painted. There are many beautiful paintings or designs in the cellars, but their mysteries will continue to fascinate art enthusiasts and historians for a long time. Art will continue to renew itself, as it has done throughout history. Stone Tools for Art Making Humans lived in tiny, nomadic communities during the Stone Age. The Earth was in an Ice Age for much of this time, which meant decreased global temperatures and glacier expansion. The early moving humanoid sculpture started emerging in European art throughout the paleolithic era. In cave paintings, the natural environment is reflected. All types of stone molded based on metals are mineral, sedimentary, metamorphic, and volcanic stone. Deposition and compaction of particles result in the formation of sedimentary rocks. On the other hand, metamorphic rocks change due to intense pressure and temperature. Ignorant magma molten creates volcanic rocks (Prindle,1994). Human civilization is built upon the inventiveness of our ancestors to construct advanced ways of living. How early man advanced was fashioned of stone. Two million years ago, the first quality stone tools were used, and other organic (wood, bone, ivory, and antler) products were also used, which were now regarded as regular for geological processes like glaciation. According to many paleoanthropologists, the paleolithic man created four different stone tools. 1. Pebble tools- consist of a single sharpened cutting or chopping-edge— Humankind’s first and oldest cutting device. A rounded stone was used to strike specific shocks, with a related stone used as a pounder, resulting in a serrated crest that acted as a chopping blade. 2. Bifacial tools- It’s a two-sided pre-historic stone tool flake made by hand with an ax. Axial symmetry characterizes these tools: round, triangular, or almond- shaped. It can be used as a knife, pick, scraper, or weapon, and the cutting can be straight or jagged. 3. Flake tools- are Stone Age hand tools usually made by smashing a tiny or large fragment and then using it as a tool. Both the core and the flakes have the potential to produce stone tools. New flakes were razor-sharp when they arrived, but they quickly got blunt during usage and had to be sharpened again by flaking, a process known as retouching. 4. Blade tools- Stone tools are made by striking a long, narrow flake from a stone core. Lithic reduction is the process of cutting the stone and making the blades. After chipping edges, they combine into a more comprehensive tool, such as spears. Page 19 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 Most Common Painting in Classical Greek Most works of art have been found in panels, graves, and vases in ancient times. It depicts everyday events, battle scenes, and dramatic masterpieces of mythological creatures. Some famous classical Greek paintings are as follows: 1. Kerch Vase Painting is a red-figured ceramic called for the city where it was discovered (Kerch, the ancient Pantikapaion on the Black Sea). The vase’s motif was imaging from women’s lives, created using the mythological technique of polychromy, which mixed many hues, particularly the dazzling one, in an artistic manner. The standard shapes found are: a. A krater- is a basin that is used to combine wine and water. b. Lebesgamikos- container with high handles and lid, used to carry a bridal bath. c. Lekanis- low bowl with two-level grips and a small broad foot. d. Pelike- wine container 2. Panel Painting- It is well-known for its exquisite altarpieces. This painting is done on a little primary wood or metal board joined together. 3. Tomb/ Wall Painting- The fresco was created using an encaustic (wax) or tempera (water-based) medium in ancient times. This color is designed by soaking grind powder stains in clean water and then setting them with plaster to create an ordinary wall. Medieval Arts in Europe (84 B.C.E.) This millennium is known as the Middle Ages, from the collapse of The Roman Empire to the Renaissance. Most of the artworks remaining were religious, and the Catholic Church had commissioned them during this time to promote devotion and prayer. The following were shown in medieval art: Pietistic painting (religious art): 1. Ceramics- hand-shaped cooking pots, jars, and pitchers 2. Fresco- is a method of painting water-based pigments on applied plasters on wall surfaces. The pigments are made by grinding dry powder in pure water, dry, and set with a coat to become a lasting part of the wall. It is ideal for murals because it is durable and has a monumental style. 3. Mosaics- Art of crafting figures with small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. Early Christians used mosaics in their churches and cathedrals. 4. Goldsmith and Silversmith- were excellent artists who created new shapes of jewelry. Medieval Church demanded employing silversmiths and goldsmiths to produce religious items using precious materials for divine service. 5. Stained Glass- is seen on windows of medieval castles, churches, and cathedrals. In this type, small pieces of glass are arranged to form pictures or patterns held together by strips of lead and reinforced by a hard frame. 6. Illuminated manuscripts (illumination)- colorful religious text, usually in gold or silver. An artist who produces illuminated manuscripts is called an illuminator. Illuminate is a Latin term which means ―to decorate. Page 20 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 7. Metalwork- metalworkers are skilled artists in creating religious objects for church decorations. They are experts in bronze art in producing beautiful jewels, sculptures, and church doors. 8. Bayeux Tapestry- An embroidery in colored wool. It consists of eight long strips of unbleached linen, sewn together to form a continuous panel of 230 feet in length and 20 inches high. 9. Heraldry- manner of designing or creating coats of arms and insignia. Specimen of coats of arms were worked using embroidery, paper, painted wood, stonework, and stained glass. 10. Gothic Architecture and Painting (1100) After the Romanesque period ended in the 12th century, Gothic architecture emerged. By making it larger and taller, it evolved certain Romanesque elements. Native stones, soaring pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, and flying buttresses are among the features. Throughout the 16th century, this work was employed in Northern France for socioeconomic, political, and spiritual purposes. During the Gothic architectural experiments, architects compete to make more significant cathedral buildings with inventions to build more expansive stone buildings. Religious scenes painted on frescoes or panels are the focus of Gothic painters. They’re educational and come in a miniature form. “Lamentation,” a painting by Giotto di Bodini, is an excellent example of a Gothic painting. Renaissance Art (1400) The Renaissance developed in popularity in the 14th century, and it ruled Europe and Italy until the 16th century. The term renaissance was coined because individuals saw themselves as distinct from their medieval forefathers. It is marked by a rebirth of interest and concern for life in pursuing new artistic discoveries. They were unique in that they attempted to recreate Greek and Roman buildings and antique art. Classical studies gathered artists, painters, intellectuals, and authors during this period, emphasizing classical humanism and independence. Baroque Arts (1600) The term "baroque" is derived from the Italian word “Barucco,” which means “opposing” or “contradicting.” Around 1600, this art form emerged in Italy and Rome, and by the XVII and XVIII centuries, it had spread throughout Europe. Exaggerated movement and accuracy describe Baroque art, detailed, elaborated, and characterized by exaggerated movement and correctness. You’re used to creating art for various types and disciplines’ emotional evocation. Religious themes are depicted honestly and passionately in baroque art to foster audience devotion. Realism is one of this style’s features. Rococo Arts (1730) With curving lines and soft nuances, Rococo art depicts romantic encounters such as scenes of love, nature, light-hearted pleasure, and young people. Rococo is about developed design, artificial works, and pierced shell works, and it evolved in France in the early 18th century due to baroque art’s rigorous rules and symmetry. Rococo is about elaborated design, artificial works, and pierced shell works. Page 21 of 29 HCDC-VAA-WI-05.01 Neoclassicism (1770-1830) Neoclassicism returns the classic notions and influences in arts from ancient Greece and Rome’s traditional art and culture. The theme focuses on heroic subjects and sacrifices for the greater good. Romanticism (1770-1850) In the early 1800s, Europe was born with romanticism, a creative, musical, and scholarly movement. It supports the Medieval above the classical, which emphasizes emotion, glory, and individualism in all things past and current. By 1760 English artists adopted romanticism, representing the chaos and storms of nature in their countryside. Throughout the nineteenth century, Europe and America became popular with the movement that expressed its resistance to the Industrial Revolution and neoclassicism. The artwork’s characteristics present idyllic landscapes, stylized designs, and a fluid sky. Realism (1850-1990) Following the French Revolution of 1848, realism became a popular artistic movement in the 1850s. The doctrine of realism asserts that material items are authentic and existing. Realists have attempted to represent individuals from all social groups by addressing shared challenges and events in the current world. This art movement began in France and lasted until the end of the nineteenth century. It was created to aid democratic reform by exposing modern subjects in working-class existence to democratize art. Impressionism (1874) Impressionism was a French art movement of the 19th century that marked a significant departure from the history of European painting. Impressionist art is a painting where the painter captures an object as someone who just saw it might appear. They paint mainly outdoor subjects in bright palettes of color. The colors are vibrant, vivid, and forceful in their picture. Fauvism (1905) In the early 20th century, France came with Fauvism's painting trend. In the period of impressionism, Fauve artists used brilliantly and pure color to depict their answers to nature by fiercely applying the paint tubes to produce the illusion of an explosion on a flat surface. Its goal is to highlight the impact of the experience on the artist's and audience's awareness rather than the artwork's objective quality. In 1905, Louis Vauxcelles, a well-known French Jewish art critic, coined "Fauves" to describe Henry Matisse's and Andre Derain's vibrant, non- naturalistic paintings. Critics coined the following as an avant-garde movement. Famous Artists in Western Europe and their Artworks The great artist was responsible for developing the arts in the Middle Ages.
