that shows nationalism is the “Polonaise” of Frederic Chopin, which is a dance composition for piano
and is famous in Poland until today.
Ludwig Van Beethoven bridged the music from Classical to Romantic Era by expressing his passion and
emotions through his music. Other composers were inspired by this musical style that they started

to use music as a means of expressing their emotions and individuality. This change in musical form also
paved the way for expanding the orchestra as the composers explored various instrumentations.
Piano music of the Romantic Period is in free form such as fantasy, rhapsody, ballade, and nocturne.
Program music was expressed in tone poems such as Symphony Fantastique.
Most of the musical compositions of the era portray literature, history, emotions, and nature.
❖ PIANO MUSIC
Today, some piano compositions from the Romantic period have been adapted into songs. An
example of this is Chopin’s Etude Op. 10, no. 3 in E Major that was used for the song “No Other Love.”
❖ PROGRAM MUSIC
Musical forms such as the symphonic poem, ballade, suite, overture and some compositions in
freer forms are named as program music since they intended to bring out extra-
musical elements like sights and incidents.

INTRODUCTION
Neoclassicism was a movement in European art and architecture that flourished during the late 18 th
and early 19th centuries. It reflected the desire to return to the forms of Classical art form Ancient
Greece and Rome – a reaction against the ostentation of Baroque art.
Neoclassic themes include mythology, revolutionary themes, folklore, legends, and the clam grandeur
of a bygone era. It is characterized by clarity of form, sober colors, and shallow space, strong horizontal
and vertical lines that render the subject matter timeless, and present contemporary subject matter in
the classical manner.
Romanticism, on the hand, emerged as a response to the disillusionment in the aftermath of the French
Revolution of 1789. It featured terrifying images of nature and the portraits produced during this period
became vehicles for expressing different psychological and emotional states.

NEOCLASSICAL PAINTING
Neoclassical artists embraced the ideals of order and moderation in which artistic interpretations of
classic Greek and Roman history were restored to realistic portrayals. Neoclassical painters gave great
importance to the costumes, settings, and details of classical subject-matter without adding distracting
details but with as much historical accuracy as possible.
NEOCLASSICAL SCULPTURE
The Neoclassical period was one of the great ages of public sculpture. Artists looked to Roman styles
during the time of Alexander the Great for inspiration as well as to mimic their style.
NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE
Neoclassical architectural styles in the mid-18th century. It turned away from the grandeur of Rococo
style and the Late Baroque. In its purest form, Neoclassical architecture was a style principally derived
from the architecture of Classical Greece and Rome and the architectural designs of the Italian
architect Andrea Palladio.
ROMANTIC PAINTING
Landscape painting depicts the physical world that surrounds us and includes features such as
mountains, valleys, vegetation, and bodies of water. The sky is another important element shaping the
mood of landscape paintings. Landscape art ranges from highly detailed and realistic to
impressionistic, romantic, and idealized.
ROMANTIC SCULPTURE
Romantic sculpture can be divided into works that concern about the human world and those that
concern the natural world. The leading sculptors of each type were Rude and Barye.

Why Festivals?
Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of percussion instruments by a
community of people sharing the same culture usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving
of a bountiful harvest. Festival dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best thing about
festivals is that they add to the merry-making and festivities where they are celebrated, the reason why
they are called festival dances after all. Festival dances draw the people’s culture by portraying the
people’s ways of life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to their place of origin.

Some of the famous festivals in the country include Sinulog of Cebu, Dinagyang of Iloilo, Ati-atihan of
Kalibo, Aklan, Buyogan and Lingayan of Leyte, Bangus of Dagupan, T’nalak of South Cotabato,
Masskara of Bacolod City, Bambanti of Isabela, and Kadayawan of Davao. Many others, especially
from Luzon, are now paving their way to join the country’s festival of festivals, the Aliwan Fiesta which
is done in the month of April. Filipinos do festivals primarily to celebrate. There are a multitude of reasons
for this reason. We celebrate our unity amidst the diversity of cultures and we celebrate our industry
bringing about a bountiful harvest. Festivals have been a consistent crowd-producing activity leading
to upliftment of a community’s economy due to its tourism and entertainment value. Basically, festivals
are a form of entertainment that attract foreign and domestic tourists to visit a place eventually leading
to the elevation of the Filipino’s quality of life.
Whatever festival we celebrate, be it done to honor a religious icon or celebrate our industry. Festival
dances are a reflection of the unity of the Filipino community that despite the economic, social,
environmental, cultural and political challenges we face every day, there can be no other race more
resilient than ours.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your first safety adventure! This will be a very exciting safety adventure because you will
know the proper procedures in assessing emergency situations for unintentional injuries and in doing
the primary and secondary surveys of the victims. It is expected that at the end of this module, you
can confidently and properly demonstrate this procedures, applying the principles of first aid and
displaying characteristics of a first aider which you have learned in the previous lesson.
READING RESOURCES
Vital signs are measures of various physiological statistics taken in order to assess the most
basic body functions. The act of taking vital signs normally entails recording body
temperature, pulse rate or heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
Before, Airway, Breathing and Circulation (ABC) are mnemonics for essential steps used by
both medical professionals and lay person such as first aiders when dealing with a patient.
“For more than 40 years, CPR training has emphasized the ABCs of CPR, which instructed
people .to open a victim’s airway by tilting their head back, pinching the nose and breathing
into the victim’s mouth, and only then giving chest compressions,” said Michael Sayre, M.D.,
co-author of the guidelines and chairman of the American Heart Association’s Emergency
Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Committee.” This approach was causing significant delays in
starting chest compressions, which are essential for keeping oxygen-rich blood circulating
through the body. Changing the sequence from A-B-C to C-A-B for adults and children allows
all rescuers to begin chest compressions right away.”
• Signs are details discovered by applying your senses – sight, touch, hearing and smell during
the course of the examination.
• Symptoms are sensations that the victim feels or experiences and may be able to describe.
There are two ways to conduct physical examination when giving first aid:
INTERWORLD COLLEGES FOUNDATION INC.
BURGOS ST., PANIQUI, TARLAC
1. PRIMARY SURVEY
Primary survey of the victim is used when the victim is unconscious and to find out and
immediately treat life-threatening conditions.
a. Check for Consciousness
1. Ask the victim: “Hey, hey, are you okay?” while carefully shaking the victim’s shoulder.
2. When there is no response, not even mumbles or groans, the victim is unconscious and in
need of immediately medical help.
b. Open the Airway
1. The victim’s unconsciousness maybe due to an obstruction in his/her airway. It may also be
caused by a narrowed airway making breathing impossible.
2. Find out if there is loss of muscular control in the throat area which allows the tongue to slip
back and block the throat.
3. Lift the chin and tilt the head of the victim (if the victim is an adult). This way you will be
able to lift the tongue from the back of the throat, leaving the airway clear.
c. Check for Breathing
1. Put your face near the victim’s mouth and look, listen, and feel for breathing. You should
observe for:
• Chest movement, sound of breathing, or feel of breath on your cheek
d. Check for Circulation
1. Locate pulse using your middle and index finger. Pulse indicates blood circulation, which is
essential for the heart and brain to function.
2. Poor blood circulation may be reflected on the pale color of the skin. This is fatal.
3. To revive circulation, perform CPR immediately.
2. SECONDARY SURVEY
Secondary survey is used when the victim is conscious or has revived. It aims to detect
everything about the patient’s condition.
a. History Taking
SAMPLE PAIN is the mnemonic in order to perform the steps more easily.
S-ymptoms (the chief complaint of the patient)
A-llergy (find out if the victim is allergic to anything)
M-edication (what are the medicines s/he is currently taking)
P-revious illness (that may be related to the problem)
L-ast meal (only for those subject for operation)
E-vents prior to what happened
P-eriod of pain (How long? What started it?)
A-rea (Where is the pain coming from?)
I-ntensity
N-ullify (What stoped it?)
b. Checking for Vital Signs
A. Pulse rate
Steps in checking the pulse:
• Use your fingertips in Normal Pulse Rate
getting the pulse. 60-70 Men
Follow the following 70-80 Women
procedure: 80-90 Children over 7 years old
1. Place the finger tip over an artery 80-120 Children over 1-7 years old
where it either crosses a bone or 110-130 Infants
lies close to the skin.
2. Feel the pulsations as the pressure wave of blood causes the vessel wall to expand – that is the
pulse.

B. Temperature
Guidelines in checking temperature:
• It is important to monitor temperature in the case of stroke and high fever.
• Body temperature is measured by using a thermometer within the:
1. Rectum (rectal)
2. Oral (mouth)
3. Axillary (armpit)
C. Respiration
Guidelines in checking respiration:
• Count the number of breaths per minute.
• A whistle sound or wheeze and difficulty in breathing may mean an asthma attack.
• A gurgling or snoring noise and difficulty in breathing may mean that the tongue,
mucous or something else is stuck in the throat and does not let enough air to get
through.
Between 12-30 breaths per minute are normal for adults and older children; 40 breaths
per minute are normal for babies.
D. Skin color
Guidelines in checking skin color
• Skin color reflects the circulation of blood and the saturation of oxygen in the blood.
• The presence of mucous around the mouth, inner eyelids, and nail beds is a sign of
poor blood circulation.
• A healthy skin is warm and pink because blood flows normally in the blood vessels.
3. Chest
• Check for cuts, bruises, penetrations, and other impairments.
• If the victim feels pain while you apply pressure onto his/her chest, there could be a
rib fracture.
4. Abdomen
• Does the victim’s abdomen hurt? Where is the pain coming from?
• Is his/her abdomen tender?
• Did you feel any lumps? If yes, get immediate medical assistance.
5. Back
• Is there movement in the victim’s lower extremities?
• Is there sensation in these parts? If the answer is yes, do not move the victim.
Immobilize him/her
