    This document discusses two different artistic movements: 1) Imitationalism in ancient Greece and Rome, exemplified by sculptures like Polykritus' Doryphorus that aimed to realistically represent the human form. These sculptures became popular when Roman generals conquered Greece and brought Greek art to Rome. 2) Representationism in Philippine history, where the tearing of cedula or personal registration certificates by Andres Bonifacio and other Katipuneros came to symbolize the protest against Spanish colonial rule and the beginning of the struggle for independence.

    ART APPRECIATION
    1. IMITATIONISM- POLYCRITUS, DORYPHORUS (SPEAR BEARER) 450 BC
    • Art that emphasizes the realistic representation of objects is referred to as
    imitationalism. According to the imitationalist theory of art, the value of a piece
    of art is determined by how realistic it appears.
    • In essence, everyone in Rome desired ancient Greek art. Greek art became
    popular when Roman generals started conquering Greek cities (starting in 211
    B.C.E.), and they triumphantly returned to Rome not with the usual booty of gold
    and silver coins, but with works of art. To make matters worse, Roman marble
    sculptures were buried for centuries, and very often we only recover fragments
    of a sculpture that must be put back together.
    • The Doryphorus (Spear-Bearer) in the Naples Museum is a Roman replica of a
    lost Greek original that was reportedly discovered in the provincial Roman city of
    Pompeii, largely intact.
    2. REPRESENTATIONISM- INSTABUT
    • On August 23, 1896, Andres Bonifacio and several Katipuneros tore their cedulas,
    symbolizing their protest Spanish colonial rule. This act of art has come to
    represent KKK members doing the same. Cedulas are personal registration tax
    certificates. It is a piece of paper that represents the oppression of the Spaniards,
    and tearing it signifies the beginning of our struggle for freedom and
    independence.
