1. Compare and contrast, write an essay about the Media and Forms: Plastic, Phonetic,
Kinetic, Pure, Mixed art.
Plastic arts are art forms which involve physical structures and manipulation of a
plastic material either by molding or modeling the medium into sculpture or ceramics.
Kinetic Art, meanwhile, is art that depends on motion for its effects. These are what we
see in carnivals, such as Ferris wheels and other more like pendulums and bicycles. In
this sense, kinetic art may be plastic art, depending on its function. It may involve pure
and mixed art as well. On the other hand, Phonetic Arts makes devices, applications, and
any other technology that can convert lines of recorded dialog into a 'speech library', like
those that people use for voice search on Google. Unlike Plastic, Kinetic, Pure and Mixed
Art, Phonetic Arts do not usually have an appearance to present, but rather so focuses
more on its function.
When people say, ‘pure art’, most people would think just plain art, but pure art is
rather an art created so purely that it can be enjoyed and appreciated by its appearance.
It does not pay attention to its functions, unlike Kinetic Art and Phonetic Art. Examples
other than paintings and abstract art would be dioramas and architectural models, which
materials don’t usually have function, but only to make the project look more appealing. In
addition, Mixed Art is usually known as Mixed Media. It is used to describe artworks
composed from a combination of different media or materials. It is where more than one
medium or material has been used to make art. It can be a combination of different types
of paint like those seen on murals or abstract paintings, or a combination of Plastic and
Kinetic Art, like electric fans. Art is everywhere and as long as a person can appreciate its
function or appearance, it can be called as art.
2. Write a two-paragraph essay, the similarities, and differences of the Major arts and Minor
arts. Note: Please utilize a relevant reference material on the internet, do not rely your
answer on the module, it is only a guide to topic.
Major Arts are usually constituents that are seen widely in a ‘major perspective’, or
have a larger stage than those of ‘minor arts’, which mean that they have been in tradition
or history even before civilization. These include visual arts such as architecture,
ceramics, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, and sculpting. Not only that, but
also literary, performing, and culinary arts. Major Arts is usually seen as paintings, prints
and monumental sculptures. On the other hand, Minor Arts is anything excluded by the
‘major arts’ category. From its name ‘minor’, anything that belongs into this category is
small. Minor Arts include jewelry, silverware, coins, and miniature sculptures and carvings.
Examples would be the Bavarian Crown Jewels and the famous Hope Diamond which the
Heart of the Ocean in the famous film Titanic was inspired. Throughout history, the global
academia usually has overlooked the importance of the minor arts while endlessly
analyzing and discussing the major arts.
Despite the distinctive differences, both Major and Minor Arts are something that
is created with imagination and skill and are created to be beautiful or to express important
ideas or feelings. Both are and can be appreciated, even if not by the majority. It all
depends on how the individual who looks at it perceives ‘the art’ and how they see that
perception in terms of their visual language and preferences. They both can be
handcrafted by man and both are huge help in the global economy and the industry.
3. Make a reaction paper in connection with the videos incorporating indigenous creative
materials and crafts.
Kengo Kuma’s use of use local materials in his design manifests sustainability through
linking values, beliefs, and norms, livelihood, philosophical knowledge, spirituality, and language
as an aspect of his architectural designs which gave evidence that culture and nature creates a
mutual feedback. Linda Garland, John Hardy and Jorg Stamm’s contribution in Indonesia
regarding the use of bamboo in housing designs and construction, as it is the most commonly
found material in the locality made a huge significant recognition in Indonesia and also to the
world. It is also evident that even though we are already in the modern world where it is the symbol
of expanded cities, high-rise buildings, and new technology. These indigenous materials are being
utilized with the introduction of new system and technologies to make the structure more
sustainable not only for the environment but also for human beings.
Aside from the use of these materials, their appreciation for their craft is evident even
though they are not natives of that specific country especially the three designers in Indonesia
which happens to be of different ethnicity and cultural background. It reminded me as a person
that appreciating art is also appreciating the culture, the place and nature itself. This also mirrors
our point of view, attitude, and relationship to the things around us.
“Biological and Cultural diversity are intrinsically and inextricably linked and together hold key to
sustainable development.” www.unesco.org
Being an architecture student, these individuals with their ideas and works served as
influence, inspiration, and motivation to design, do and appreciate arts and crafts in harmony with
the environment. Utilizing materials that are available locally to provide and represent meaning,
purpose, justice, and identity, making it known to the world. One of the examples that also falls in
this category is Ar. Francisco “Bobby” T. Mañosa, a renowned Filipino architect and the father of
Philippine Neo-vernacular Architecture, immortalizing the concept of bahay kubo in architecture
and aesthetics intricating and refining Filipino sensibility and culture through the use of indigenous
material such as bamboo, coconut, rattan, and capiz as he believed that Philippine architecture
must be “true to itself, its land and its people”. This connotation can be applied not just in Philippine
architecture, but also in different areas in arts and crafts.
