The term “humanities” was first applied to the writings of ancient Latin authors which were read not only for their clarity of language and forceful literary style, but also, and more specially, for their moral teaching. During the Medieval Age, the humanities dealt with the metaphysics of the religion philosopher. The goal was the cultivation of the spiritual life and the preparation for the hereafter. During the Renaissance, the word came to refer to the set of disciplines taught in the universities, which included grammar, rhetoric, history, literature, music, philosophy, and theology- a body of knowledge aimed to make man “ human, cultured, and refined. At present, the humanities serve to provide the student with certain skills and values through arts. (Ortiz et al). The term humanities refers to the arts- the visual arts such as architecture; painting and sculpture; music; dance; the theater or drama; and literature. They are the branches of learning concerned with human being and his feelings and how he expresses those feelings have always been the concern of the humanities (Sanchez, 2001).

What are the differences and similarities of the Humanities and the Sciences? The sciences deal with the external world of man, as well as with the facets of man’s being that can be subjected to observation, measurement, and experimentation. The sciences enable man to understand and control nature and to harness its energy to make his life more comfortable and convenient. The humanities deal with man’s internal world-with his personality and experiences, matters that cannot be exactly measured, classified, or controlled. The humanities’ approach is subjective; it makes much use of perception, feeling, intuition, and insight. The focus of the humanities is on man as an individuals, while in the social sciences the main interest is on types and groups of human beings, and on the institutions and processes of society. Importance: Man needs as image of himself, an understanding of his nature. Through words, tones, mass, line, color, or design, the arts provide man with a measure of his passions and desires, his relation with other men and his environment, as well as his potentials. Both the sciences and the humanities are necessary for the development of the complete, social man, ready to take on his responsibilities in this rapidly changing world and to enjoy life as he lives it (Ortiz et al.).

Metaphysics is a part of philosophy which is concerned with understanding reality and developing theories about what exists and how we know that it exists.

Module 2 UNDERSTANDING THE ARTS Introduction We can say art is the lifeblood of humanities because it conveys one’s feelings and expressions. Art is the essential factor which motivates an individual to create and appreciate “a thing of beauty.”

Learning Outcomes At the end of the session, learners are expected to: a. Explain the meaning and importance of art to man; b. Demonstrate understanding on the basic concepts and assumptions about art;

Discussion What is an art? K (What You Know)

W (What You want to Learn)

L (What You Learned and still Want to Learn)

Etymologically, art is derived from the Latin word “ars”, meaning ability or skill. Art is from an Italian “artis” defined as a human or skill. This time, let’s look at the definitions given by different artists. “Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.” (Henry Miller) “Art is higher type of knowledge than experience.” (Aristotle) “The object of art is to give life a shape.” (French dramatist Jean Anouilh) “Art is science in the flesh.” (Frenc=h poet and playwright Jean Couteau) 6

“All art is social,” because it is the result of a relationship between an artist and his time (Historian James Adams) “Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” Oscar Wilde

What are the different assumptions about art? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Art is everywhere. Art is not nature. Art is imitating and creating. Art perfects nature. Art message is universal. Art is timeless.

Art as Expression and Communication 



Art has grown out of man’s need to express himself. Expression is not limited to the revelation of emotions alone. The personal and social values of the artist and his penetrating psychological insight into human reality are also conveyed through arts. The artist uses symbols which he organizes into some comprehensible equivalent of the experience that he is trying to convey. If the symbols are understood by his audience, then communication has been established.

Art as Creation Creation refers to the act of combining or re-ordering already existing materials so that a new objects is formed. Art and Experience  Three major kinds of experience are involved in the artistic activity. 1. It starts as an experience which the artist wants to communicate. 2. The act of expressing this experience –that of creating that art object or form. 3. When the work is done, there is the artist’s gratifying experience of having accomplished something significant.  On the part of the onlooker or listener, he may kindle an experience which is similar or related to that which the artist tried to express. These include sensory, emotional, and intellectual responses. Art and Beauty 

A thing of beauty is one which gives us pleasure when we perceive it. The delight that we experience is called aesthetic pleasure. 7

Module 3 DISTINGUISHING ARTIST FROM ARTISAN Introduction Art works are produced by either an artist or an artisan. Each has his/her own role in the art arena. However, how could we distinguish an artist from that of an artisan? How could we know that the art works we are enjoying are created by an artist or artisan?

Artists transfer their vision to canvases or other medium, and this may mean working in oil, watercolor or pastel. Sculptors take their sketches and create 3D products from clay, marble or other 10

Take a look at these famous artists. FERNANDO AMORSOLO Fernando Cueto Amorsolo is one of the most important artists in the history of painting in the Philippines. Amorsolo was a portraitist and painter of rural Philippine landscapes. He is popularly known for his craftsmanship and mastery in the use of light. He painted and sketched more than ten thousand pieces over his lifetime using natural and backlighting techniques. His most known works are of the dalagang Filipina, landscapes of his Philippino homeland, portraits and WWII war scenes. Born in Calle Herran in Paco, Manila, on May 30, 1892, Fernando Amorsolo began drawing and sketching as a young boy. The family lived in Daet until the death of his father. At that time his mother moved the family to the home of her cousin, artist Don Fabian dela Rosa in Manila. Amorsolo was 13 years old at the time and in order to help provide for his family, he sold his drawings and began to study art under dela Rosa. http://fernandoamorsolopaintings.com/Fernando_Amorsolo_Biography_Page.htm Ac l o s e rl o o ka tt h i swo r kwi l lr e v e a lb r u s hs t r o k e se x e c u t e dwi t ht h ee a s eo fav i r t u o s o .T h e f e a t u r e dp a i n t i n gi sc o n s i d e r e dama s t e r p i e c ef o rt h es u b t l e t yo f i t se n c o d e dme s s a g e s , wh i c h , i nt h i sc a s e ,h a sb e e nd e s c r i b e da sn a t i o n a lp r i d e .I ns t a r kc o n t r a s tt ot h ei n c r e a s i n g we s t e r n i z a t i o no ft h eu r b a nc a p i t a lMa n i l a ,t h i swo r ki sac e l e b r a t i o no ft h ep r i s t i n e ,r u r a l Ph i l i p p i n ec o u n t r y s i d e .T h es c e n ei sb a t h e di ns u n l i g h ta n df e a t u r e sac o u n t r yma i d e n .T h i s t i o n a l Ar t i s t ’ sf a v o r i t es u b j e c t a n ds e t t i n g .

JUAN LUNA Juan Luna is considered one of the greatest Filipino artists in Philippine history with masterpieces such as Spolarium, The Death of Cleopatra and Blood Compact. Not only did he excel in artistry, but he was also a political activist during the time of the Philippine Revolution during the late 19thcentury. His close friendship with National Hero Jose Rizal has sparked Philippine nationalism and pride. Juan Luna was mostly known for his works as being dramatic and dynamic, focusing on romanticism and realism styles of art. http://vanz2005.tripod.com/vanz.html
