Activity 2 Essay

1. How did art become a reflection of the Philippine’s society?

Answer: Art reflects the culture of our society. Art existed in our society even during ice ages. It’s a symbolic form
where it reflects about the human habitat on earth. Art has different forms like architecture, sculpture, drawing,
painting and our ancestors also made the decision of expressing their arts in music and dancing. Various forms of
arts in the Philippines reflect the country's society. For example, during pre-colonial time- our tales, riddles,
proverbs among others, depicted the life of our ancestors through these. Filipinos' arts are influenced by the current
situation of the society when it was produced.

2. How important Joseon Dynasty of the Korean people?

Answer: During its reign, Joseon encouraged the entrenchment of Chinese Confucian ideals and doctrines in Korean
society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the new dynasty's state ideology. Buddhism was accordingly
discouraged and occasionally faced persecutions by the dynasty. Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the
territory of current Korea and saw the height of classical Korean culture, trade, literature, and science and
technology. The dynasty was severely weakened when the Japanese invasions of Korea in the 1590s and the first
and second Manchu invasions in 1627 and 1636–1637 nearly overran the Korean Peninsula, leading to an
increasingly harsh isolationist policy, for which the country became known as the "hermit kingdom" in Western
literature. After the end of invasions from Manchuria, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period of peace,
prosperity, cultural, and technological development. Whatever power that the kingdom recovered during its isolation
further waned as the 18th century came to a close, and faced with internal strife, power struggles, international
pressure and rebellions at home, the Joseon dynasty declined rapidly in the late 19th century. The Joseon period has
left a substantial legacy to modern Korea; much of modern Korean culture, etiquette, norms, and societal attitudes
towards current issues, and the modern Korean language and its dialects, derive from the culture and traditions of
Joseon.

3. To what extent can art help in the formation of society culture?

Answer: In general, art doesn’t form culture, it reflects culture. However, in small ways, individual artmakers can be
formative influences. When an artist accomplishes something new and other artists become aware of it - whether
that new thing is in visual art, or music or dance - other artists then tend to first copy and then subsequently expand
on the new thing. This sets up little feedback loops. This is especially true in cities, and particularly in big and
growing ones. In fact, there are actually mathematical studies of scaled activity (of all kinds) in cities that are
grounded in the intersections of people. What we call “culture” is the aggregation of the arts and other sociological
elements such as how people meet and greet and move with each other, their fashion, their housing, the implements
they use in daily life, their work and their leisure. These are what constitute “culture”. All of these will be affected
by the numbers of people who intersect with each other. believe that art has a much more far-reaching “intersecting”
effect than is normally realized. Today, it is with us everywhere we go, and in everything we do except in our
contact with nature, or in prayer and meditation. Otherwise, we are surrounded by art, by object and experiences that
have been designed - which means we are also surrounded, in some sense, by the artists who designed them. Every
artist leaves something of him/herself imprinted in their work.
