2.How can human faculties be the basis for the appreciation of art? Give at least 3
examples to explain your answer.

Human faculties will become the basis since they are the ones who see the art
and it is also capable to engage some emotions for what they will eventually notice at the
art. Especially to the humans who are a fan of the arts, it will become appreciated due to the
sophistication, time and efforts of the artist just to deliver the message they wanted to
engage. Especially if it talks about our cultures and real happenings in our society.
I will give 3 examples of why human faculties will eventually appreciate art. First is the
senses of humans as I said earlier we are the ones who can see with our own eyes and
elaborate how beautiful, creative art it is and has the possibility to inspire others due to the
different meanings, second is the sensation that it gives the reaction for what we will
eventually to notice and if we can get what the artist wanted to engage it giving result to
have excitement in thinking what message it is. Lastly, imagining that it can eventually
engage us to think about what is being stated in the art and it can eventually engage how
good the message wanted to be delivered by the artist, that will express how excellent it is
to divert his or her dedication to establishing that art.

3. Are human faculties the only important basis in appreciation of art? Why?

In my opinion yes, because human faculties are the ones who can evaluate how
creative and good the art is. They are the ones who can express their feelings and thoughts
about what they have seen. In other circumstances, animals can also view the art but they
can't engage what they want to say, but humans can eventually respond to how colorful and
meaningful the message of the art it is. We also knew that if we express our own opinion in
a positive way we also appreciate the efforts and dedication of the artists just to establish
the unique art that they wanted to explore. If also no one can enhance their expression or
own thoughts, then no one can appreciate how good the art it is. The showcase also of how
humans interpret and appreciate art is also based on what is the real happenings in our
environment, for what they have been experiencing and those thoughts are the evolution of
how they respond to the artworks.

4. How can you apply the Filipino concept of art in judging the work of art?

I will be able to apply it by measuring how authentic the art is, on how traditional the
artists made it which will eventually give all of their hearts to idolize how good our culture is.
Also, it should become the basis of the art is realistic happenings in our society and if it
gives some sense to explore what are the substance should become if there have some
technical problems with our environment. Especially other artists expand their emotions for
what message they wanted to occur to disseminate to humans for what response they can
engage to help if the art is all about negative thoughts about our environment. It should also
showcase how humans are living in our society, to become appreciate how they can survive
even if their status is not accommodating. That it also gives a way that the most powerful
tool in art is to express a good message that should humans be inspired and grateful for
what they have. But the most important thing is that we should judge art by its unique
beauty, composition and taste which gives us the pleasure to evaluate how good that art is.

5. In the concept of Filipino "Pagkatao", what cultural influence do you find relevant
to showcase Philippine culture in the global community? Give at least 5 examples.

In this concept, it is all about exploding kindness without hesitation and replacement
to other people even if they are strangers, poor or rich people. They are captivating this kind
of very positive behavior, with full of their heart. The best 5 examples of this system are
propagating cultural awareness, enhancing creativity, propagating also cultural sensitivity,
enhancing good preposition of values and expanding peripheral efforts. Those positive
actions are eventually helping the artist to expand and help each other to create a system of
a good culture in our society.

6. What Filipino characteristics are revealed in their work of art? Give at least 5
examples.

Since when we talk about art it is enhancing a message due to what preposition the
artist wanted to proclaim and propagate to other people. It is also the exposure to our
unique and very authentic cultural traditions. The best 5 characteristics of Filipinos when it
comes to arts are exploding hospitality or "pagkatao" to others, resourcefulness to engage
other different products that sustain and evolve our different products, industriousness due
to our hardworking fisherman and farmer, gratefulness to what they have receive and also
the most prominent is enhancing unity.
