RECAP
We have learned from before that “Art” is the expression of one’s feelings through creating something out of their imagination.
LESSON
What do you think symbolizes the painting, ‘Spoliarium’?
In your own idea, what do you think is the message of the painting, ‘Spoliarium’?
Great idea! The Spoliarium was a symbol of our “social, moral, and political life.” Nice insight! Spoliarium is emphasized as the violation of human rights towards the colonizers of Spain, and Juan Luna expressed his patriotism through the painting.
Today, you will be learning about the General History of Visual Arts in Pre-Colonial Times, as well as its significance.
What is Art? and why is Art important?
The dictionary definition of art says that it is “the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects” (Merriam-Webster)
“Art is the activity by which a person,
having experienced an emotion,
intentionally transmits it to others”
– Leo Tolstoy
There are many common definitions of art. Few to quote:
Art is
any creative work of a human being
a form of expressing oneself
resides in the quality of doing; the process is not magic
an act of making something visually entertaining
not a thing — it is a way (Elbert Hubbard)
the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use (Frank Lloyd Wright)
What is the significance of Art?
Art is a part of our culture
The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
The Significance of Art
Art is the expression of our creative ideas and imagination. It has different forms such as the visual arts, sculpture, music, literature, theater, films, and other ways that artists choose as a medium for their craft.
Art is there to remind us of the values that we uphold. It makes us realize that we may all come from different walks of life but there are some things that are undeniably common to all of us – like love, friendship, and freedom. It reminds us that there are more important things in life. Philippine Arts in the Pre-Colonial Era

VALUING
Art transcends time. It transcends
the artist who was responsible in its creation. It shatters barriers and goes beyond them to be able to share its message and speak of its meaning.

It elicits different reactions and emotions but everyone can agree that it moves them to think, to feel, and to act. POSTTEST
