Course Outline
Written Works:
Written works constitute long tests, post-tests, quizzes, seatworks, assignments, or
any written activity. These will be given depending on the need and will be usually
scheduled. Questions for quizzes are usually exercise questions or applications to
practice the concepts learned but will sometimes be “objective” type. They may be
held before or after the lecture or activity, so students are held responsible to study
and be prepared. Assignments or homework are given with the intention of
encouraging self-study among students, not just to review their lecture notes but
also to pursue skills development not readily acquired during class hours or learning
time.
Performance Tasks:
Performance tasks (PT) are given or announced to students at the start of the quarter.
Ample time and appropriate scaffold tasks are given so that students can prepare
well.
Quarterly Assessment:
There are two major exams for quarterly assessment: Midterm and Final. Delayed
exam will be given within one week after the scheduled examination. There will
be no removal examinations.
Reading Assignments:
Students are expected to read all required material (s) given by the teachers.
One must refer to the topics in the course outline.

Course Outline
Non-regular Activity:
During the cautious return to on-campus learning and depending on the
availability of facilities some class periods may be spent in the Audio-Visual Room
for other instructional modes like video-showing, PowerPoint presentations or
multi-media activities.
Study/Activity group and Activity Partner:

During the class orientation on the first day, study/activity group and partner are
created. This is created to allow students to interact with each other through group
activities or activity with a partner.
Class Decorum:
For virtual classes, students are expected to observe netiquette. Taking down
notes is an integrated function of every student as well as studying and
participating in class. For students who can’t join the virtual classes, they will have

Welcome to English 103: Contemporary Arts in the Region
This course aims to engage you in appreciation and critical analysis of the Contemporary
Philippine Arts from the region. As the course title suggests, this subject consists of three
components: Contemporary arts, Philippine context, tradition, and culture, and Arts created by
artists from the regions in the Philippines. Ultimately, you will be required to produce and create
a “45 minute to one-hour show that would celebrate the different talents of the class” as
your Performance Task. This means that along the way, you need to acquire or improve your skills
on critical and creative thinking through various lessons and activities that are in these learning
packets. We hope that you will maintain a positive attitude to not only successfully pass the
subject but also to make the best out of what this subject can offer.
Best of luck!

CONTEXT
Nature and Principles of Art
EXERCISE 1: ART OR NOT?
As an Atenean, you have been told to appreciate everything that surrounds us. You have
been taught to observe our environment and see how the creator has made things beautiful.
While these things are taught to you in the past. Let us explore the efforts that man has done to
make our home more beautiful. Turn your modules to the Photo Gallery found at the last part
of the module. You can find pictures of objects man has done. Identify if that object is an art or
not and justify why or why not on the space provided.

You have been introduced to art in the previous art classes. You have your
definition of what is and what should be. At the end of the lesson, you are expected to
be able to identify the nature and principles of art. At the same time, you will be able to
create a concept on the principles of art. You will also be able to classify different
traditional art forms present in the Philippines. Lastly, hopefully, you will create a
statement as to why art is relevant to humans. Before dwelling into these things, fill in
the table below on everything you know and what you want to know in the lesson.

REFLECTION
There is so much the world could offer. There are a lot of things that people have not discovered
even in their community. As we go through this process of discovery, it is hoped that you will be
able to understand how art affects humans and how art is important for survival. Now, answer the
following questions below in no more than 5 sentences each and let us discover how your
perception of art has changed.

archive of human history. It is hoped that you will acknowledge that the value of beauty
changes through time. Therefore, you will realize the fluidity of the present. Now, answer
the following questions below in no more than 5 sentences each and let us discover how
your perception of art has changed.

Art Criticism
As mentioned by Kuspit (n.d.) ,art criticism is an organized approach in studying a work of art. It
helps us understand the meaning of artworks and inspires varied and changeable
interpretations. Criticism in art not only involves understanding the medium and technique used
in creating art; it seeks to unveil the processes involved in giving meaning to the artwork, as well
as understanding the artist’s view of the world and the culture and values that mold the artist’s
consciousness and disposition.

Art is man-made. Man can create art out of everything that he has and out of everything in his
surroundings. With this, man can produce different artworks using the materials present in the
environment and the skills he has acquired over time. In this part of the module, you will be

Theme is an overall idea that carries through

a work or a series of works. The artwork
revolves around a single idea that it tries to
convey to the audience. The theme is the
intended message that the artist wants to
express in his artwork. These themes are
usually supported by motifs (repeated
elements that can have both symbolic and
structural value). Through themes, one learns
how artists address and challenges social
issues through their artwork. Below are
common themes that are tackled in
contemporary art (Lico, et al., 2018).

destructive energies. (e.g El Presidente,
