WHAT IS
ART?
 What is ARTS?
The arts are described as
means of expression that
require imagination and/or
skill in making aesthetic
objects or encounters that
can be shared with other
people.
 What is ARTS?

These objects and experiences

may exhibit what is in the
imagination of the artist or
creator. These may also portray
ideas and emotions. These may also
be used to entertain or persuade
other people.
 What is ARTS?

These aesthetic objects and

encounters create beauty. The arts
include visual arts and
architecture, literature, music,
dance, theater, and cinema or film.
During the 1970's up
to present, artists
began combining
different art forms
and media
 The development of Philippine
Art comes in three major traditions.
These are the Ethnic Tradition,
Spanish Colonial Tradition, and the
AmericanColonial and Contemporary
Traditions.
 The ethnic art forms are primarily influenced by
the geographical location and the experiences of the
Filipinos. For instance, the dances in the country during
the pre-colonial times vary depending on the area where
our ancestors thrive
 In terms of visual arts, pottery, weaving, wood carving,
and metal crafting were dominant during the pre-colonial
period making use of the available materials surrounding
them.

 Then came the Spaniards who tend to replace the Philippine
indigenous arts with Western art forms. Religion and secularization
greatly influenced art in the Philippines under the Spanish regime.
 In the area of theater arts, secular and religious plays like the
“komedya’ became popular. In choreography, religious dances
commonly performed to venerate patrons and saints proliferated.
 Modern Art refers to the
practice of art in the 1860s
1960s. It was during these years
that the western world was
significantly developing.

Contemporary art refers to the recent and current

practice of art ranging from the 1970s up to the present.
It mirrors the society and culture of the present times.
FUNCTIONS OF ART
Personal or individual
Functions
Artists have their personal reasons for
indulging in art.
Gary Valenciano renders concerts for
free because he loves singing; Geleen
Eugenio provides free dance instructions
because she enjoys dancing.
 Social Functions
Man is a social being and as such he
associates with his fellow beings. This
association is evidenced by the choral singing
and group dancing in religious rites and other
practices
 Economic Functions
Many people believe that it does not pay
to be an artist. However, this belief is negated
by these facts. Joanne K. Rowling, the author
of the best-selling Harry Potter series, became
one of the most highly-paid women in British
history.
 Political Functions
To reinforce and enhance a sense of
identity and ideological connection to specific
political views, parties and/or people.
 Historical Functions

Paintings, sculptures, architectural

works, and other art forms serve to record
historical figures and events
 Cultural Functions
Buildings, furniture (chairs, tables, etc.),
clothes, and the like form part of the
country’s material culture, while music,
dance, and language, which is incorporated in
oral and written literature and drama, form
part of its non-material culture. Therefore,
paintings, sculptures, architectural works,
songs, dances, dramas, and literary pieces are
embodiments of a nation’s culture.
 Religious Functions

Almost all, if not all, art forms evolved

from religion.
People in the olden times worshipped
their gods in the form of songs and dances.
The earliest dramatic forms were religious in
nature. The first Greek paintings and
sculptures were those of gods and goddesses
 • Physical Function
House and other buildings are constructed to
protect their occupants and all the others
inside them. At times, paintings serve to
protect the walls and ceilings of some
buildings, while sculptures serve as columns
of some buildings as in Greek and Roman
Architecture. Many people claim that dance is
one of the best forms of exercise, while music
is a form of therapy.
 • Aesthetic Function
Artworks serve as beautify. Painting
serves to decorate houses and other
buildings. Sculpture serves to decorate
churches and similar edifices. Tall
buildings are sights to behold. Set designs,
as well as costumes and props, make
dramas, dance performances, and song
renditions not only realistic but also
appealing to the audience.
