 PROCESS QUESTIONS

What is the role of the NAA to the Filipino public?

Can you identify Contemporary Artists in your own region?

Internationally, Filipinos are recognized as multi-
talented artists or individual, not just in the
entertainment industry. Several masterpieces of
Filipinos are even on par to international standards,
an example of that is Juan Luna’s Spolarium which
recreates a scene for a roman circus (coliseum)
where dead bodies of a gladiator are being disposed
after a fight. Sadly, this masterpiece of Juan Luna
was internationally recognized in the 1800s. Today
Filipinos are bound to gravitate towards modern
artistry where every aspect of creativity is done thru
the help of 21st century technology and it is
sometimes not authentic, the National Artist Awards
serves as an institution for recognition of today’s
generation of what is authentic artistry that comes
from innate expressions that gives significant
meaning from each creator and to its audience.

Module Topic: Lesson 2 – Traditions and Collaborative Works of National Artists
What will you learn on the

While artists may create work independently, artistic collaborations help develop projects
involving elaborate production work. In this lesson, you will learn how different NAA recipients
work with other artists to collaborate and integrate their crafts into a single artwork. Here, we
will investigate the question: how have NAA recipients contributed to the art scene as a
whole?

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Relate the collaborative works of NAA recipients to today’s contemporary practices
• Recognize the role of the NAA to the Philippine art scene
• Conclude what will society benefit from these traditions and collaborations of national
artists
