By Martin Jansen- Presley Expressionism

 For me yes, as I encountered different arts through museum visits exhibit,

musical, and plays and among others, I felt sometimes disconnected of that
artwork. Maybe it’s because that artwork was not mine or not my creation,
however there are certain angle of that art that I can understand what message
trying to convey. And the pictures above was my example of art that I can say, I
cannot understand what was the message of that art trying to convey us. Because
we know that art is an expressions of an imaginations of an artist.

2. Answer the ff. questions as precisely as thoroughly as possible.

a. What art field will you explore? Why?
 The art that I want to explore is the Artfield Music  and Theatre, because music is an integral
part of a play. We use music to establish a mood, provide background noise, and fill that dead
air during those scene changes and many other things. It reduces stress and  can boost your
immune system. It promotes positive thinking instead of negative thinking. But even if the
performance is not a comedy, you can still benefit from watching it. I mentioned before
how theatre helps actors make sense of their emotions, but it has a similar effect on the
audience.

b. How can you utilize the arts to express yourself, your community, and your relation to
others?
 Artistic expression has many benefits to myself, it takes my mind off to negative emotions and
allows me to express these feelings in a healthy way. Work it out rather than brooding and
letting stress, sadness, or anger get the better of you, transform it into something else. And in
my community and others, Artistic expression, also called self-expression, helps us to
distinguish among others, to reflect our thoughts, believes, feelings, needs, etc. Thus,  arts and
culture can create opportunities for political expression,  community dialogue, shared cultural
experiences, and civic work. Within the arts, there is a vital yet lesser-known field of practice
that strives to develop cultural understanding and civic engagement .

Lesson 3: FUNCTIONS AND PHILOSOPHICAL

PERSPECTIVE ON ART
Activities:
1. Answer the ff. question as precisely yet as thoroughly as possible.

a. What art form/artwork has change something in your life? Why?

 I have a lot of art form or artwork that could change my life. One of them is the music
, it has something that change in my life. I like to music based on my feelings, and imagine my
life. It helps improve good memory, manage stress and helps me to be relax. Though I’m not
good in singing, I’d like to listened & sing music because I know music can give me relaxation
and that is one way how to forget all my problem.

b. Does art always have function? Why? Support your response. Provide your own example.
 For me yes, every art has always function as what the artist imaginations. Because art
is something humans enjoy and have enjoyed across all cultures and all of history.
 Art still has a function in our lives, and for as long as we're humans that will never change. As
what I said above that Music helps me to manage all stressors in life and that is my example of
art.

c. If an artwork ceased to have function, will it remain an art? Why?

 If an artwork ceased to have function, it can still be considered  art, If it communicates anything to any
viewer, or makes them feel anything, even if not what the artists intended. Art only ceases to function
when it communicates anything to any viewer at all.
