1. Do the Philippine arts have identity? (3pts)

as well as influences like impressionism, expressionism, surrealism, cubism, pop, minimalism, and
so on, contributes to the cultural identity confusion.

2. What is the purpose of a cartoon? (3pts)

In visual art, a cartoon is a hilariously deformed sketch or likeness created with the intent of

transmit political commentary and editorial opinion, as well as in magazines for social comedy and
visual wit.
