The dress was originally known as the Mayon gown or Mayon Volcano gown because of its
design, which was inspired by Albay's Mayon Volcano, and later became known as the "lava
gown". This gown was designed by a popular Filipino fashion designer Mak Tumang and
worn by Catriona Gray during the evening gown competition in Miss Universe 2018.

It was made of stretch tulle with cutouts that were embroidered with thousands of
monochromatic red crystals in 12 stones that glint. The gown was accompanied by a pair of
golden pearl studs and a diamond-ruby ear cuff called "Alab at Dangal," which was inspired
by the Philippine flag and included gold rays, two stars, and one star that hung at its tip.

It was incredibly a high revealing slit and a distinct fiery red to dark red color. It has bareback

it more stunning.

moment.

LESSON 2

Let’s work in this

Answer the following questions precisely yet thoroughly as possible.
1. What art field will you explore? Why?
I want to explore the field of performing arts because every time I watched musical theater, and
drama I am immersed in their talents and skills shown by the performers. I want to increase my
knowledge of how they do it and the sets of processes they did for a successful performance.
One thing also that caught my interest in this field is that they showcase the artist's voice, acting
skills, and body gestures throughout the presentation, for this reason, I'd like to witness more
stage plays in the future and learn further about the secret behind a meaningful play that
captivates the audience attention.
2. How can you utilize the arts to express yourself, your community and relation to
others?
Arts is everything to me, without art life would be dull and has no creativity. The use of art helps
me to divert my emotions such as when the time that I'm weary I tend to write poems and songs
to express my sentiments. Through artworks, I relate myself to other people and learn from their
experiences that have been shown in their masterpieces. The emergence of painting,
sculptures, poems and many artworks enables us to see the beauty of our nature surrounded by
the visual forms inspired by our culture.
Let’s Make it Happen
Using the table below, write down examples of the different art forms studied in this
