Instructions: The answer to each question should have at least a

minimum of 50 words.

1. Which art do you appreciate or captivates you most? (Module 2.2)

Analysis The artwork that captivates me the most is the colorful painting showing the
many views of a woman, The Weeping Woman of Picasso. This artwork is
abstract but still representational. It provides different insights of what is deep
inside a woman. This represents predominantly the sadness of a woman
influenced by many factors. Picasso’s work clearly mirrors the pain therein as
he did this artwork during the Spanish Civil War wherein women weep the loss
of her family, children and belongings.
2. Does your opinion about the artwork change the longer you look at it? (Module
2.2)
Though I already know that an art mirrors emotions and such, after seeing this
artwork, my opinion in art has elevated more. Art is more than just the stroke of
paint brushes or the shade of pencils, it also amplifies the different emotions
and experiences being held by the people. The Weeping Woman artwork tells
the story that women, because of various circumstances like civil unrest, may
feel hard emotions and burst her sorrow and fears through tears. We all have our
own baggage internally and this artwork shows that our emotions are valid, you
may unhide them.
Assessment 1. Looking at the image (black dot) what insights or realizations can you
discover? Give at least two (2). (Module 2.1)
A small black dot placed in a clean white plane. In Yin yang, white is good
while black is bad. Typically, people would take notice to the black dot and
might even say negative perceptions with regards to the whole plane. That is
the sad reality. No matter how clean, pure and elegant something is, many
would still look for its flaws and even amplify their disappointment over it. A
person who has done a lot of great things might be scrutinized over a small
and unsignificant mistake he has committed.
In contrast with many people’s perception about the black dot, I am actually
mesmerized by the pureness of white. Though not actually regarded as colour,
white is actually my most favourite therein. I like cleanliness, elegance and
simplicity of white. With this, I have assessed that in the 18 years of my life, I
always value the goodness rather than the darkness of everyone and
everything.
Reflection 1. Did you enjoy the activity? Why?
With every activity that I did, I enjoyed every single one of them.
These activities are related to Arts. I must say that I am not excellent in
paintings and the other kinds of art but I’m interested in it. With every
knowledge that gained through this lesson, I clearly enjoyed every
piece of it. I have learned that arts can be felt through different
emotions and can also be used to portray different emotions. With
emotions, I see the beauty of people and the world. Moreover, these
activities made me see life in a positive manner yet, recognizing the
fact that each of us has his own battles giving off negative emotions
which are all valid.
