Topic: Chinese Art and Its Legacy to The World

Objectives:
1. Identify the unique features of Chinese arts and culture as well as its important contribution to our
modern-day world;
2. Demonstrate understanding by explaining how art, religion and culture is interrelated to one another;
3. Create a Chinese-inspired artwork;
4. Appreciate the art. Philosophy, traditions, and customs of China.

Overview:
Ancient Chinese art is arguably one of the oldest continuous traditions in the world. Chinese art can be
dated back to 10,000 BC, the Neolithic period, when simple pottery and sculptures were mostly common. The
art has evolved with time, and religion, politics, and philosophy have all played an important role in ancient
Chinese art. This includes calligraphy, poetry, and painting and these styles had their own characteristics
depending on the dynasty.

Lesson Proper

Chinese art, the painting, calligraphy, architecture, pottery, sculpture, bronzes, jade carving, and other fine
or decorative art forms produced in China over the centuries.

Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy is the writing of Chinese characters as an art form, combining purely visual art and
interpretation of the literary meaning. This type of expression has been widely practiced in China and has been
generally held in high esteem across East Asia. Calligraphy is considered as one of the four best friends of
ancient Chinese literati, along with playing stringed musical instruments, the board game "Go", and painting.

Landscape Paintings

By the late Tang dynasty, landscape painting had evolved into an independent genre that embodied the
universal longing of cultivated men to escape their quotidian world to commune with nature. Such images
might also convey specific social, philosophical, or political convictions. As the Tang dynasty disintegrated,
the concept of withdrawal into the natural world became a major thematic focus of poets and painters. Faced

 with the failure of the human order, learned men sought permanence within the natural world, retreating into
the mountains to find a sanctuary from the chaos of dynastic collapse.

During the early Song dynasty, visions of the natural hierarchy became metaphors for the well-regulated
state. At the same time, images of the private retreat proliferated among a new class of scholar-officials. These men
extolled the virtues of self-cultivation—often in response to political setbacks or career disappointments—and
asserted their identity as literati through poetry, calligraphy, and a new style of painting that employed calligraphic
brushwork for self-expressive ends. The monochrome images of old trees, bamboo, rocks, and retirement retreats
created by these scholar-artists became emblems of their character and spirit.

Ink wash painting or shui mo hua

Ink wash painting or the ink wash technic is a type of brush painting that uses black ink – as used
in calligraphy – in different concentrations. Emerging in the  Tang dynasty in China (618–907) it really
flourished later in the Song dynasty (960–1279).
It is said that the technic was invented by an artist named Wang Wei. During the Thang dynasty and after
further development, the technique spread to Japan around 1350. The appreciation of Ink painting peaked in
popularity among Japanese artists and calligraphers during the Muromachi era (1338-1573).

Chinese architecture 
Demonstrates an architectural style that developed over millennia in China, before spreading out to
influence architecture throughout East Asia. Since the solidification of the style in the early imperial period,
the structural principles of Chinese architecture have remained largely unchanged, the main changes being
only the decorative details.
A pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves common to Nepal,China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other
parts of Asia. Most pagodas were built to have a religious function, most often Buddhist but sometimes
Taoist, and were often located in or near viharas.

Chinese contributions to world civilization

Paper Making
Today, can we imagine life without a paper? Yes, there was a time when our ancestors used bamboo, stones,
wood, and animal bones as writing materials which were cumbersome, and expensive thing to do. Thanks to
Cai Lun for inventing this magic called Paper in 105 AD.

Gun Powder
It was 9th Century when the Chinese alchemist found this in search for an elixir of immortality, China
didn’t anticipate that it will be used to develop guns and cannons.

Printing
One of the remarkable inventions of China is Printing. Bi Sheng invented this for the first time in 1040 AD
which was made of baked clay. In around 13th century, Wang Zhen made the movable type made of wood and
then in the 14th century Hua Sui invented the metal movable type. It is this effort of China which is helping us
today to produce, exchange, and share the information in the most effective way.

Compass
You should believe that China has used first magnetic direction finder in late 1044. The credit goes to
Zheng He who made 7 naval expeditions which helped to detail the needle positions given in the Mao Kun
map. This invention is significant as it aided to explore the oceans of the world and make trades possible. It is
the same compass which was used to discover the new worlds (America in 1492, and others).

Seismograph
China witnessed the discovery of the first machine to identify and measure the earthquake and the
possibilities of it. The first seismograph had a container with eight dragons and a metal ball placed below.

Tea
It is said that Chinese have been cultivating tea from centuries. By the 18th century, Europeans had
developed the quench for Chinese tea and they have loved it so much that they started exporting it from China
by spending thousands of pounds of silver.

Topic: Life Partners

Objectives:
1. Define courtship and dating;
2. Identify the stages of courtship;
3. Discuss the importance of courtship in finding a lifelong partner.

Overview:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. A
life partner has traditionally been seen as someone who you share your romantic life with.
You date, maybe get married, move in together, have children if you decide to follow that path, and grow old
together. But the more open we become about love and the more we accept a plethora of relationship types, the
more it seems logical to include friendships and close connections in this definition as well.

Lesson Proper

Courtship Vs Dating

The major difference between courting and dating is that the dating relationship may or may not lead to
marriage. The process of courtship grew out of a culture that desires to honor God with the path to marriage.
Couples who choose to court instead of date have made the commitment to honor God with their bodies and
abstain from physical intimacy until they are married, since their desire is for the anticipation of the marriage
covenant.

What Is Courting?
The term “courting” for many young people (and even among Baby Boomers) seems to be a bit foreign and
outdated. Courting is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary to mean “seeking the affections of [someone]-
especially: seeking to win a pledge of marriage from.” One might envision a man wooing his lady companion
with roses and chocolates and eventually getting down on bended knee asking for her hand in marriage.

What is Dating?
Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially with the aim of
each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship. It is a form of
courtship, consisting of social activities done by the couple, either alone or with others.

Five stages of dating process:

1. Attraction and Romance

2. Reality/Power Tussle

3. Exclusivity/Commitment

4. Intimacy

Property of Diocesan Schools of Urdaneta

 5. Engagement/Blissful Love

Topic: The Principles of Japanese Art

Objectives:
5. Demonstrate understanding of the unique features of Japanese arts and culture and identify its
contribution to our modern day society;
6. Enumerate the principles applied in Japanese art.
7. Create a Japanese-inspired artwork;
8. Appreciate the art. Philosophy, traditions, and customs of Japan.

Overview:
Japanese art covers a wide range of art styles and media, including ancient pottery, sculpture, ink
painting and calligraphy on silk and paper, ukiyo-e paintings and woodblock prints, ceramics, origami, and
more recently manga which is modern Japanese cartoons and comics along with a myriad of other types. It has
a long history, ranging from the beginnings of human habitation in Japan, sometime in the 10th millennium
BC, to the present-day country.

Lesson Proper

The study of Japanese art has frequently been complicated by the definitions and expectations established
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Japan was opened to the West. The occasion of dramatically
increased interaction with other cultures seemed to require a convenient summary of
Japanese aesthetic principles, and Japanese art historians and archaeologists began to
construct methodologies to categorize and assess a vast body of material ranging from Neolithic pottery to
wood-block prints. 

Shintoism. The most distinct religion in Japan.

Zen-Buddhism. Highlights intimacy with nature, simplicity, and self-discipline.

Japanese painting
 (絵画, kaiga, also gadō 画道) is one of the oldest and most highly refined of the Japanese visual arts,
encompassing a wide variety of genres and styles. As with the history of Japanese arts in general, the long history of
Japanese painting exhibits synthesis and competition between native Japanese aesthetics and the adaptation of
imported ideas, mainly from Chinese painting, which was especially influential at a number of points;
significant Western influence only comes from the later 16th century onwards, beginning at the same time as Japanese
art was influencing that of the West.

Japanese architecture
 (日本建築, Nihon kenchiku) has been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with
tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding doors (fusuma) were used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a
space to be customized for different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor, traditionally;
chairs and high tables were not widely used until the 20th century. Since the 19th century, however, Japan has
incorporated much of Western, modern, and post-modern architecture into construction and design, and is today a
leader in cutting-edge architectural design and technology.
Arita Porcelain The city of Arita is located in western Saga Prefecture, part of Kyushu province, Japan. The
discovery of pottery stone in 17th Century around Arita city was one of the most important reason to become the
biggest porcelain producing place in Japan.

Origami is the art of paper-folding. Its name derives from Japanese words ori (“folding”) and kami (“paper”).
Traditional origami consists of folding a single sheet of square paper (often with a colored side) into
a sculpture without cutting, gluing, taping, or even marking it.

Ikebana (生け花, 活け花, "arranging flowers" or "making flowers alive") is the Japanese art of flower

arrangement. Ikebana is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kōdō for incense
appreciation and chadō for tea and the tea ceremony.

Bonsai (Japanese: 盆栽, lit. 'tray planting',  is a Japanese art form which utilizes cultivation techniques to

produce, in containers, small trees that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees. Similar practices exist in other
cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penzai or penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living
landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years.

Topic: The Stage of Marriage

Objectives:
1. Identify marital practices and setups across cultures
2. Analyze behaviors that promote healthy relationships in marriage and family life and;
3. Describe factors that contribute to a successful marriage.

Overview:
Marriage, a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is
regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and
accords status to their offspring (if any). The universality of marriage within different societies and cultures is
attributed to the many basic social and personal functions for which it provides structure, such as sexual
gratification and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production and consumption, and
satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status, and companionship.

Lesson Proper

Stages of Marriage.
1. Newly Married (0 – 5 years)
2. Middle Years (6 – 25 years), which usually coincides with the active parenting stage
3. Later Years (26+ years), also known as the “empty nest” years

Not all marriages fit neatly into these categories. Those in second marriages may find times shortened;
however, certain developmental tasks generally take place during each stage.

Most relationships move through cycles that include:

1. Romance
2. Disillusionment
3. Mature Love

Property of Diocesan Schools of Urdaneta

 In The 7 Stages of Marriage (2007), Harrar and DeMaria identify the stages as:
1. Passion
2. Realization
3. Rebellion
4. Cooperation
5. Reunion
6. Explosion
7. Completion

Why People Marry?

The decision to get married or to move in with a partner is a personal one, but for most married and
cohabiting adults, love and companionship trump other considerations, such as the desire to have children
someday, convenience or finances. For a majority of those who are married – especially if they didn’t live with
their spouse before marriage –wanting to make a formal commitment is also a major factor in their decision to
marry. (read page 349-350 in your MAPEH book)
