The term “humanities” was first applied to the writings of ancient Latin authors, which were
read not only for their clarity of language and forceful literary style, but also, and more specially, for
their moral teaching.
During the Medieval Age, the humanities dealt with the metaphysics of the religion
philosopher. The goal was the cultivation of the spiritual life and the preparation for the hereafter.
During the Renaissance, the word came to refer to the set of disciplines taught in the
universities, which included grammar, rhetoric, history, literature, music, philosophy, and theology- a
body of knowledge aimed to make man “ human, cultured, and refined.
At present, the humanities serve to provide the student with certain skills and values through
arts. (Ortiz et al).
The term humanities refers to the arts- the visual arts such as architecture; painting and
sculpture; music; dance; the theater or drama; and literature. They are the branches of learning
concerned with human being and his feelings and how he expresses those feelings have always been
the concern of the humanities (Sanchez, 2001).

What are the differences and similarities of the Humanities and the Sciences?
The sciences deal with the external world of man, as well as with the facets of man’s being that
can be subjected to observation, measurement, and experimentation.
The sciences enable man to understand and control nature and to harness its energy to make his
life more comfortable and convenient.
The humanities deal with man’s internal world-with his personality and experiences, matters
that cannot be exactly measured, classified, or controlled. The humanities’ approach is subjective; it
makes much use of perception, feeling, intuition, and insight.
The focus of the humanities is on man as an individuals, while in the social sciences the main
interest is on types and groups of human beings, and on the institutions and processes of society.
Importance:
Man needs as image of himself, an understanding of his nature. Through words, tones, mass,
4|Page GE 5 – ART APPRECIATION

line, color, or design, the arts


provide man with a measure of his passions and desires, his relation with other men and his
environment, as well as his potentials.
Both the sciences and the humanities are necessary for the development of the complete, social
man, ready to take on his responsibilities in this rapidly changing world and to enjoy life as he lives it
(Ortiz et al.).

Metaphysics is a part of philosophy which is concerned with understanding reality and


developing theories about what exists and how we know that it exists.

(What You Know) (What You


(What You want to Learn) Learned and still Want to
Learn)

Etymologically, art is derived from the Latin word “ars”, meaning ability or skill. Art is from
an Italian “artis” defined as a human or skill.

This time, let’s look at the definitions given by different artists.

“Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.” (Henry Miller)

“Art is higher type of knowledge than experience.” (Aristotle)

“The object of art is to give life a shape.” (French dramatist Jean Anouilh)

“Art is science in the flesh.” (Frenc=h poet and playwright Jean Couteau)

“All art is social,” because it is the result of a relationship between an artist and his time (Historian
James Adams)

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” Oscar Wilde

What are the different assumptions about art?

1. Art is everywhere.
2. Art is not nature.
3. Art is imitating and creating.
4. Art perfects nature.
5. Art message is universal.
6. Art is timeless.

Art as Expression and Communication

 Art has grown out of man’s need to express himself. Expression is not limited to the revelation
of emotions alone. The personal and social values of the artist and his penetrating
psychological insight into human reality are also conveyed through arts.
 The artist uses symbols which he organizes into some comprehensible equivalent of the
experience that he is trying to convey. If the symbols are understood by his audience, then
communication has been established.

Art as Creation
Creation refers to the act of combining or re-ordering already existing materials so that
a new object is formed.

Art and Experience

Ajuy, Iloilo

 Three major kinds of


experience are involved in the artistic activity.
1. It starts as an experience which the artist wants to communicate.
2. The act of expressing this experience –that of creating that art object or form.
3. When the work is done, there is the artist’s gratifying experience of having
accomplished something significant.
 On the part of the onlooker or listener, he may kindle an experience which is similar or
related to that which the artist tried to express. These include sensory, emotional, and
intellectual responses.
Art and Beauty
 A thing of beauty is one which gives us pleasure when we perceive it. The delight that we
experience is called aesthetic pleasure.

Artists work in the fine arts,


including painting, illustration, and sculpture. All fine artists first learn to sketch, and begin with a
pencil and sketchpad to work with an idea on paper. Artists transfer their vision to canvases or other
medium, and this may mean working in oil, watercolor or pastel. Sculptors take their sketches and
create 3D products from clay, marble or other material. Illustrators might work for a publishing or
animation company, or create original comic books. All artists’ work aims to create an overall reaction
from a viewer.
Generally, an artist is defined as an art practitioner who produces or creates indirectly-
functional arts with aesthetic value using imagination.
They produce us pieces as the means of provoking our thought, ideas and emotions that are necessary
to discover ourselves and our feelings.
Job responsibilities of an artist include:
a. Developing ideas for a canvas or product
b. Selecting a medium for a final work, including texture, size, or area
c. Collecting work for a portfolio
d. Applying for grants for financial support

Take a look at these famous artists.

FERNANDO AMORSOLO
Fernando Cueto Amorsolo is one of the most important artists in the history of
painting in the Philippines. Amorsolo was a portraitist and painter of rural
Philippine landscapes. He is popularly known for his craftsmanship and
mastery in the use of light.

He painted and sketched more than ten thousand pieces over his lifetime using
natural and backlighting techniques.  His most known works are of the
dalagang Filipina, landscapes of his Philippino homeland, portraits and WWII
war scenes.

Born in Calle Herran in Paco, Manila, on May 30, 1892, Fernando Amorsolo
began drawing and sketching as a young boy.  The family lived in Daet until
the death of his father.  At that time his mother moved the family to the home of her cousin, artist Don
Fabian dela Rosa in Manila.  Amorsolo was 13 years old at the time and in order to help provide for his
family, he sold his drawings and began to study art under dela
Rosa.  http://fernandoamorsolopaintings.com/Fernando_Amorsolo_Biography_Page.htm

A closer look at this work will reveal brush strokes executed with the ease
of a virtuoso. The featured painting is considered a masterpiece for the
subtlety of its encoded messages, which, in this case, has been described
as national pride. In stark contrast to the increasing westernization of the
urban capital Manila, this work is a celebration of the pristine, rural
Philippine countryside. The scene is bathed in sunlight and features a
country maiden. This work is a fine example of this National Artist’s
favorite subject and setting. Amorsolo notes, “My conception of an ideal
Filipina beauty is one with a rounded face, not of the oval type... The eyes
should be exceptionally lively… The nose should be of the blunt form but
firm and strongly marked… The ideal Filipino beauty should have a
sensuous mouth…not…white-complexioned, nor of the dark brown
color…but of the clear skin…which we often witness when we meet a
blushing girl.” For Amorsolo, the Filipino beauty was an important

symbol of national identity. The


colors of the Philippine flag are evident in the blue kerchief, red skirt, and white blouse. The subject
gazes directly at the viewer, holding a generous bundle of newly harvested rice, a hope-filled moment
for the young Philippines.

JUAN LUNA
Juan Luna is considered one of the greatest Filipino artists in Philippine
history with masterpieces such as Spolarium, The Death of Cleopatra
and Blood Compact. Not only did he excel in artistry, but he was also a
political activist during the time of the Philippine Revolution during the
late 19thcentury. His close friendship with National Hero Jose Rizal has
sparked Philippine nationalism and pride. Juan Luna was mostly known
for his works as being dramatic and dynamic, focusing on romanticism
and realism styles of art.
http://vanz2005.tripod.com/vanz.html
This is the
“Spoliarium”
by Juan Novicio Luna,
as masterpiece created in 1884. It is one of
the prize possessions of the Philippine
National Museum today. This Neoclassical
artwork earned Juan Luna 3 gold medal in
the Exposicion Nacional de Bellas Artes and
recognition among the connoisseurs and art
critics. It was praise so much that even Jose
Rizal, Philippine’s national hero, prepared a
speech for Juan Luna, addressing two things
from his artwork, the glorification of genius
and the grandeur of his artistic skills. And
it’s not a surprise why he called the
artwork “The Glorification of
Genius.” Not only does it enticed the fewer with compelling imagery of death, but it also sneaks in a
historical nod to the Filipino History.

What you have just learned is an artist. This time, may you get familiar with an artisan.
Who is an artisan?
Artisans are craftsmen who work in textiles, pottery, glass and other areas. They are craftsmen who
make practical artistic products, such as earrings, urns, stained glass and other accessories. They gain
their knowledge by studying under master craftsmen and then practicing with continued study. They
work to create something new, original, and at times, provocative. They spend a good portion of their
time selling and promoting their items in various marketplaces.
In other words, artisans are craftsmen who produce directly functional and or decorative arts. They
help us in meeting our basic needs such as food, clothing, dwelling, furniture, kitchen utensils and

everything that makes our life


easy are crafted by artisans.

Job responsibilities of an Artisan include:


a. Using and mixing mediums like paint, metal, glass, or fabric
b. Shaping, gluing sewing, testing and producing products
c. Displaying work at various sites including auctions, craft shows or online markets
d. Estimating costs and material need

Take a look at this famous Filipino artisan.


TINA MARISTELA-OCAMPO
One featured artisan who intended to showcase Filipino craftsmanship is
Tina Maristela-Ocampo. When she
first thought of the concept for
Celestina, what she really wanted
was to “bring whatever here in the
Philippines out to the world.
Hence, Celestina would produce
find handmade bags using local
indigenous products crafted by
Filipino artisans.

Other artisans engage themselves in producing different products.

LOOK: Dumagat artisans turn driftwood into artworks


Rogelio, one of the Dumagats living near the Ipo Dam in Bulacan, has got the nature as his
partner in making great art pieces.
The 12 Dumagat artisans in Rogelio’s community transforms driftwood, an uprooted and
fallen part of trees washed away by river and streams, they collected from the watershed to create
competitive sculpture pieces bearing nature-inspired designs.
After gathering the wood from the water, the artisans will then let them dry for three days,
and when these are ready, the transformation starts.
In creating artworks, the artisans let their imaginations run wild and thus seeing existing
images out of the driftwood. And from there, the simple wood becomes a distinct sculpture of
nature’s elements. Birds, fishes and even humans, among others, are just some of the favorite
images formed in the sculptures of the Dumagat artisans.
One would really expect great artworks coming from the driftwood, which was only used
before by the locals as firewood, as the Dumagat artisans were trained by renowned Filipino
sculptures.
Rogelio, who has nine children, gets a living from his masterpieces, being able to sell an
artwork for up to P300.
This project does not only provide the Dumagats livelihood but also provide mother earth a
support for sustainability.
