For the learner:

Welcome to the Arts 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Arts and Crafts
of Luzon (Highlands and Lowlands).

Do you love art? Have you ever dreamed of becoming an artist? Art has been a part
of our lives for as long as humanity has existed. For thousands of years, people have
been creating, looking, criticizing, and enjoying art. I would like to address three
questions: what is art, what is its purpose, and why has it survived for this long.
