C. Do what is asked in each item.

 1. Read the following lines from Amado V. Hernandez’s poem entitled “Ang Panday”:

“Kaputol na bakal na dungkal sa bundok,

dinalisay muna sa apoy, lumambot;
sa isang pandaya’y matyagang pinukpok, niyari ng
panday na nasa ng loob.”

In this poem, the panday is the worker who gives it all for the love of labor. Imagine that you are
the panday illustrated in this poem. Would you give the same love and dedication even if it
takes all your time and strength? Explain your answer.

- Yes, I believe that giving your all for something that you love and enjoy will produce
something so unique and wonderful, even if it means sacrificing so much of yourself in
the process. An art created with passion will result in an art of passion. All the time and
effort you gave when creating your work will all be worth it once you finally see the whole
picture of the masterpiece you created.

Look at this painting Madonna of the Slums by national artist Vicente Manansala. How is this
portrayal of mother and child different from the common Madonna and Child paintings?

- The Madonna of the Slums is an original adaptation of the Madonna and Child painting.
The artworks mentioned created an impact during their time with the timely presentation
of motherly love and affection towards the child. Putting the two paintings side-by-side,
you will notice how the Madonna of the Slums feel heavier than that of the latter. The
clear-cut difference in time of both paintings is coming from the art styles and story, both
suiting their own time periods. The Madonna of the Slums exudes a much more realistic
and modern feeling, telling the story of the struggles of the mother and the child living in
the slums. On the other hand, the Madonna and Child has been an iconic painting inside
the Catholic realm, with the image of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms,
symbolizing her love for her child.
