- 4. •Meaning and Importance of Humanities • Etymologically, the term “Humanities” is from a Latin word humanus which means educated. It refers to the learning of arts such as architecture, dance, literature, music, painting, theatre, and sculpture (Sanches, 2011).They are branches of knowledge that focuses on the human opinions, and relationships (Machlis, 2003). As a branch of learning, the artwork is considered as the material object while its creativity and appreciation is the formal object (Menoy, 2009& Marcos, et al., 2010). • Likewise, Humanities is more concerned on how a person expresses his/her feelings. These feelings can be in facial manifestations or body movements. Laughing, crying, clenching our fists, curling our toes, stretching
- 5. •Description of Art Appreciation • Art Appreciation is a way to motivate ideas and allows individuals to illustrate their feelings when they viewed an artwork. It helps develops critical and innovative skills in thinking and teaches essential qualities in listening, observing, and responding to multiple viewpoints. It also requires an ability to differentiate what is apparent and what is not. (Gargaro & Jilg, 2016 and Sanger, 2012).

- 7. •The Creation of Arts • The word “art” is from a Latin arti, which means craftsmanship, inventiveness, mastery of form, skill. • “Artist” comes from the French word artiste and the Spanish artista, which means “performer.” It is someone who creates art that is merely trades and professions by which different people make their livings (Goines, 2004). • The Creations of ideas. Artists are usually impressionable persons. They used their experiences as their basis in the making of dance, picture, a poem, or a play or a song. • b. The Creations of the Materials. The artist uses different materials or mediums to give form to an idea. For example, a painter uses pigments; a sculptor uses wood, metal or stone; an author uses words; and a composer who uses musical sounds to determine the notes. • c. The Creations of Forms. There are diverse forms used by the artists in expressing their ideas. It is a medium of artistic expression recognized as fine art.

- 10. •Classifications of Art • Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972) • Labelled the country’s first National Artist in 1972 by then President Marcos, Fernando Amorsolo is often known as the ‘Grand Old Man of Philippine Art’. The Spanish-trained realist developed a backlighting technique, where his colorful depictions of local people reflect the radiance of the Philippine sun. The figures and illuminated landscapes magically glow on the canvas. Despite his deteriorating health and failing eyesight, he remained prolific until the end, producing up to 10 paintings a month until his death at the age of 80. Amorsolo’s creativity defines the nation’s culture and heritage to this day.
- 11. •Classifications of Art • Benedicto Cabrera (1942-present) • Fondly known as ‘BenCab’ in the Philippines, Cabrera is the best-selling commercial painter of his generation and a prominent head of the local contemporary art scene. He studied under José Joya at the University of the Philippines and received his degree in Fine Arts in 1963. His fruitful career has spanned five decades, where his paintings, etchings, sketches, and prints have been exhibited across Asia, Europe, and the US. He currently resides in the chilly northern hill station of Baguio, where he established his own four-level BenCab Museum on Asin Road that features an eclectic selection of indigenous artifacts, personal works, and an overwhelming collection of paintings from contemporary Filipino artists.
- 12. •Classifications of Art • Agnes Arellano (1949-present) • Born to a family of prominent male architects, sculptress Agnes Arellano is best known for her surrealist and expressionist work in plaster, bronze and cold-cast marble. Her sculptures highlight the female body and draw from themes surrounding sexuality, religion, and mysticism. Borrowing from the term of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, Agnes attributes her work to ‘inscapes’, that assert an internal unity among various elements in her installations and sculptures. Drawing from the tragic death of her parents and sister from a house fire in 1981, her work explores themes of creation and destruction, and the cycles of life from birth to death.
- 13. •Classifications of Art • Napoleon Abueva (1930-2018) • Noted as the Father of Modern Filipino sculpture, Abueva attended the University of the Philippines with Joya and was mentored by noted sculptor Guillermo Tolentino, at the College of Fine Arts. Born in Bohol, he is also the youngest National Artist awardee appointed by then President Marcos, at the age of 46. His expertise was seen in a wide array of materials such as hard wood, abode, steel, cement, marble, and bronze. • Abueva is adept in traditional representation and modern abstract forms of sculpture. A trip around the University of the Philippines will show you a number of his works, such as the University Gateway and Nine Muses near the old faculty centre. He was also responsible for the relief marble sculptures seen in the war memorial cross in Mt. Samat, Bataan. • It is the second highest cross in the world and the tallest in Asia. Under the commission of the Philippine government, Abueva collaborated with designer Lorenzo del Castillo to create a shrine that commemorates the thousands of Filipino and American soldiers who lost their lives during the Japanese-led Bataan Death March in 1942. Make sure to walk up the flight of stairs inside the cross to reach the top, and experience the fabulous views of Bataan.
- 14. •Classifications of Art • c. Architecture- This form of art provides us the physical structure we lived. It is a profound expression of human culture in a particular period, and it will endure and outlive us in forms of monuments that future generations will study and strive to understand. • d. Drawing- This form of art enhances the way we see the world around and conditions us to capture its details in a two-dimensional medium. This has been a critical element of art throughout history and in the contemporary art world. • e. Photography- This form of art is a process of creating portraits by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive
- 15. •Classifications of Art • Ildefonso P Santos • The father of Philippine landscape architecture, Ildefonso Paez Santos, or IP Santos as he was known, created some of the best-loved urban spaces in the Philippines. Landscape architecture, which deals with parks, plazas, and green spaces, was a little-considered element of urban planning in the first half of the 20th century. However, Santos changed that, carrying out pioneering work that, after four decades in the profession, led him to become National Artist for Architecture in 2006. • One of his earliest successful projects was the Makati Commercial Center, an outdoor shopping mall in which the shop fronts and walkways were interspersed with garden trails, fountains, and public artworks. This led him to be commissioned to revitalize Manila’s Paco Park, the work for which he is perhaps best remembered. A former Spanish cemetery and Japanese ammunitions store, the park was transformed into a national park in 1966. Between 1967-1969 Santos revived the park’s grounds and incorporated the original park structures, including memorial sites and fortification walls, into a space for urban recreation.
- 16. •Classifications of Art • Juan Nakpil • The son of veterans of the Philippine Revolution, Juan Nakpil (1899–1986) was committed to the belief that architecture built in the Philippines should reflect its culture and people. In his early career, Nakpil spent time studying in the United States and France, absorbing the lessons of international architecture. When he returned to Manila in the mid-1920s, Nakpil applied his new-found knowledge to Filipino structures. He worked on the restoration of the home of national hero Jose Rizal and, like Locsin, took inspiration from traditional stilt houses, remaking them in cantilevered concrete on a mammoth scale. His own holiday home was designed along these lines, combining traditional nipa roofing (made out of natural materials) with a poured concrete base. Nakpil worked on dozens of buildings across the nation, from the Manila Jockey Club and the Quiapo Church, to the Mabini Shrine and government departments. Despite his determination to make buildings specifically for Filipino citizens, some of his designs were considered too radical by the public. Nakpil’s stainless steel pylon, superimposed over a granite obelisk memorialising Jose Rizal was unpopular and was soon removed. But Nakpil’s failures were few, and he remained one of the Philippines’ most popular and revered architects until his death. He was
- 17. •Classifications of Art • Eduardo Masferré (1909-1995) • Further north of Baguio, in the mountainous province of Sagada, Eduardo Masferré was born to a Filipino mother and Spanish soldier. He is regarded as the Father of Philippine photography. He documented with great detail the everyday lives of indigenous people of the Cordilleras. The self-taught photographer processed his own film in a makeshift darkroom and managed to even produce prints without electricity. His photographs capture the culture of the people in his community and serve as a documentation of their customary practices and rituals. Masferré’s photographs have found their way into exhibitions around the world. The Smithsonian Institution carries at least 120 prints of his works for the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. • He is remembered for his book on the People of the Philippine Cordillera Photographs 1934-1956, which was published in 1988. A country inn and café in Sagada is named after him and is worth the visit to see copies of his prints and purchase souvenirs created in Masferré’s honor. • If landscape photography is your thing, feast your eyes (and lenses) on our new, bookable Trips – stuffed with dramatic scenery, authentic food and indigenous experiences. We’d recommend Guatemala, for Volcanoes and colonial cities,

Editor's Notes
- #4: As a branch of knowledge, Humanities explores on human conditions through the use of analytical, critical, or theoretical methods. These methods are in the form of ideas and words that help makes our life more meaningful. Moreover, Humanities can also be as the study on how an individual documented and processed his/her experiences particularly in connecting to others (Stanford University, 2016).Imparting humanities as an academic science is designed to let our learners (particularly the new generations) become creative and artistic individuals. Humanities help the students to connect with the community through art exposure like museum outings, concerts, theatre performance, etc. (Marcos, 2010).
- #5: When we look around, we see a lot of things that relate to art. Art can come in the form of many items such as posters, paintings, portraits, covers, and more. People look at art in different ideas that they want to know more about or may be studying. Art can shows ideas about the past, what is currently happening and what may happen in the future. It can also show meaning, love, boredom, and creativity (Ramos, 2012). Art can be meaningful because of the colors, shapes, and depictions it can create. Art Appreciation is a way to motivate ideas and allows individuals to illustrate their feelings when they viewed an artwork. It helps develops critical and innovative skills in thinking and teaches essential qualities in listening, observing, and responding to multiple viewpoints It also requires an ability to differentiate what is apparent and what is not (Gargaro & Jilg, 2016 and Sanger, 2012).
- #6: From the very beginning, arts have been part of human history. It described, defined, and deepened the human experience. In the Prehistoric period for example, peoples performed songs and dances to gratify their ancestors. Likewise, hunters brushed different figures on the walls of caves to depict their day to day experiences. Arts also serve several functions which are item outcome to its purpose (Menoy, 2009) 1. Individual Function- The artists perform arts because of the passion of their respective art forms. A singer presents a concert for free because of his advocacy and the love of singing. For example, Regine Velaquez (Asia’s Songbird) is well-known for possessing extensive vocal range. 2. Social Function- Man associates with others through his art performance that arouses social consciousness. Examples of this association are the choral singing, group dancing, public art exhibits and other practices. 3. Economic Functions- Arts are emerging as a potent force in the economic life of people assumes an essential role as a direct and indirect contributor to state economies. Example of this is by generating economic vitality in under-performing regions through crafts, tourism, and cultural attractions. 4. Political Functions- Art provides a forum for ideas that will lead to employment, prestige, status, and power. During election period, for example, the candidates created their artworks (poster) which expresses their interest to serve the public. 5. Historical Functions- Art is an essential technique for information to be recorded and preserved. It serves to document or reconstruct historical figure and events. Most arts that are in Museums, for example, are filled with amazing stories about the world most excellent and most creative people who brought us the treasures. By looking at a work of art’s colors, materials, and symbolism, we can learn about the story and culture that produced it in the past. 6. Cultural Functions- Art is an articulation and transmission of new information and values. Example, when you think of Manila, you probably think of Fort Santiago, Luneta Park, and its world-renowned churches, or the famous Intramuros. 7. Physical Functions- Buildings are artistically designed and constructed to protect their occupants and make their life inside more meaningful. Architects, Industrial and Graphic Designers, and Interior Decorators share responsibility in building environment that balance forms and functions. 8. Aesthetic Functions- Any artwork means beauty. It is visual spice for gracefully adorned interiors and can bring out the most elegant features of different décor elements. It reasonably reproduced visual images which communicate through fantastic persuasions and meaningful words.
- #7: In our life, we experience so much fragmentation of our thoughts and feelings. But, by creating arts, it brings things back together. We merely make art because of so many reasons, and we enjoy the process of it. The word “art” is from a Latin arti, which means craftsmanship, inventiveness, mastery of form, skill. It includes literature, music, paintings, photography, sculpture, etc. It serves as an original record of human needs and achievements. It usually refers to the so-called “fine arts” (e.g., graphics, plastic, and building) and to the so-called “minor arts” (everyday, useful, applied, and decorative arts). It is the process of using our senses and emotions in making creative activities (Marcos, 2010). It is a human capability to make things beautiful (e.g., buildings, illustration, designing, painting, sculpture, and Photography) through the production of his/her imagination depending on the preparation, theme, medium, and values used. Significantly, the word artist comes from the French word artiste and the Spanish artista, which means “performer.” It is someone who creates art that is merely trades and professions by which different people make their livings (Goines, 2004). Artist is most often refers to those who create within a context of the fine arts such as acting, dancing, drawing, filmmaking, painting, sculpture, writing, photography, and music. They are those who use imagination, and a skill to construct works that may be judged to have aesthetic importance. Creativity is a characteristic of an artist that progressed in the extent of his/her life to express feelings. These are all processed in three significant phases namely: Creation of Forms; Creation of Ideas; and Creation of the Materials (Sanchez, 2011). The Creations of ideas. Artists are usually impressionable persons. They used their experiences as their basis in the making of dance, picture, a poem, or a play or a song. For example, a composer may write a song on the developing romance between a man and a woman, or on the pains of a broken-hearted. b. The Creations of the Materials. The artist uses different materials or mediums to give form to an idea. For example, a painter uses pigments; a sculptor uses wood, metal or stone; an author uses words; and a composer who uses musical sounds to determine the notes. c. The Creations of Forms. There are diverse forms used by the artists in expressing their ideas. It is a medium of artistic expression recognized as fine art. This form is used to explain the physical nature of the artwork like in metal sculpture, an oil painting, etc.
- #8: Creativity or imagination is the primary basis of art. Art is created when an artist produces a stimulating experience that is considered by his audience to have artistic merit. The artwork is the visual expression of an idea or experience of an artist, through the use of a medium (Frank, 2011). It allows expression of the individuality of the artist. Through artistic endeavors, we can share what is important to us with others and can learn about the values of feelings of those sharing art with us. Some purposes of art are the following (Marcos et al., 2011). 1. Create Beauty- Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, and intuitions. It is the communication of concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. The Artist has considered nature as the standard of beauty. The example of beauty can be in a snowy mountain scene, and the art is the photograph of it shown to the family. 2. Provide Decoration- Artworks are used to create a pleasing environment. It is intended to beautify things to please and amuse the viewers through its colors and patterns. 3. Reveal Truth- Artwork helped to pursue truth and attempted to reveal about how the world works. It is a kind of language that allows artists to send a message to the souls of the recipients that help change their attitudes, their sensibility, and their ethics. 4. Express Values- Arts can illuminate our inner lives and enrich our emotional world. Through arts, the artist will be encouraged to develop their creativity, challenge, and communication skills. It also promotes self- esteem and wellness. 6. Commemorate Experience- Art serves to convey the personal experiences of an artist and record his impression in his work. 7. Create Harmony- An artist makes use of the composition to put an order in the diverse content of his work.

- #23: Knowing and practicing the arts disciplines are fundamental to the development of the minds and spirits of the students (National Art Education Association, 1994). Arts are inseparable from education. When early humans drew images on the walls of the caves, the artworks have been the means of recording human experiences and of making sense of the world. It educates us on how early people lived and survived. Thus, without the skills in the arts, no one can claim that he/she is professionly trained. There are several reasons for the arts to be included in an educational system. It is evident that involvement in the arts has been shown to help students in their academic, personal, and social development.
