Prayer

by St Thomas

Aquinas

Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, THINK ABOUT THIS: Why does art exist?

• (^) Art as portraying the visible forms of nature, from a schematic cave drawing of an animal to the evocation of an entire landscape in sun or storm.
• (^) A representational artist may seek faithfulness to how things are. He or she may dwell selectively on the ugly and defective, the unfulfilled; or on the ideal, the fully realized potential. - (^) The artist opens our eyes to the world’s perceptual qualities and configurations, to its beauties, ugliness, and horrors. - (^) However, there is art that is not at all representational: music is seldom and very inessentially representational; painting and sculpture can be abstract

as well as figurative.

ART AS REPRESENTATION

WHY STUDY ART?

• ART IS A NATURAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR
• ART IS A COMMUNICATION
• ART IS HEALING
• ART TELLS OUR STORY
• ART IS A SHARED EXPERIENCE

CONTEMPO RARY ART

• CONTEMPORAY ART IS A STATEMENT THAT AN ARTIST MAKES ABOUT LIFE, THOUGHTS, IDEAS AND BELIEFS AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT DEFINE HUMAN LIFE.

• (^) modern art is referred “traditional” compared to contemporary art
• (^) An example is the work of Fernando Amorsolo, he painted his painting “Harvest Scene in
  1942. At that time, the painting was considered contemporary. Today, we refer to that work as an example of Modern art produced during Japanese era.

   - (^) Contemporary art is an art of today produced by artists living of today. It is a fluid term, and its use can change depending on the context. - (^) Philippine Contemporary Art was an offshoot of social realism brought about by Martial Law. Arts became expression of people’s aspiration for a just, free and sovereign society
