CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS FROM THE REGIONS

LESSON 7:
Acquired Skills Enhancement
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
 Point out the importance of critiquing available art materials and appropriate techniques,
 Differentiate the difference between critiquing and criticizing, and
 Discuss ways of critiquing available art materials and appropriate techniques.

LESSON PROPER
Some Basic Ways To Enhance Skills
 skills are acquired through practice
Practice includes application and incorporating other techniques to improve acquired skills.
 evaluation and research about other people’s artworks
This may help you understand the context of an artwork and may help you gather ideas as to how you can
incorporate their techniques into your own work.
 experimentation and exploration
This means that you are not boxing yourself in a single artistic style, medium, or technique. For example,
you may explore watercolor if you feel that you have grown too comfortable with creating digital art.
Experimentation and exploration may help you in discovering the extent of your capabilities and may help you
develop your own distinct style.
Moreover, you have to be willing to occasionally rebel against the rules. This means being able to combine
styles, or go against the rules of style, and trying out techniques that no one has done before.

Context means the condition of the environment which affects the work of art. This may come in different aspects and may
vary depending on different circumstances.

Contextual Elements That Affect The Artwork


1. The Artist - The background of the artist may affect the artwork that he creates. The culture, traditions, economic status,
gender, age, and other external factors may inspire the artist when it comes to artistic production.
To understand the relationship of the artist to the artwork, you may ask the following questions:
● What is the socio-economic background of the artist?
● Where did the artist grow up?
● What cultural practices and traditions did the artist follow?
● What are the artist’s political beliefs?
● How did the artist become an artist?
● What techniques and practices is the artist known for?
2. The Environment - While one’s environment (be it the quiet nature or the busy city streets) can be a great source of
inspiration in creating an artwork, it may also be the very reason why the artwork is created in the first place.
For example, as your learned in the previous lessons, some indigenous art pieces were created to imitate the natural
phenomenon in their environment.
To understand this, the following questions may be asked:
● Does the artwork depict a natural phenomenon?
● Does it showcase environmental rituals?
● Does it imitate any environmental phenomenon?
● What elements in the artwork suggest that it is distinctly from its place of origin?
3. The Way of Life - Culture and tradition of the community may affect the work of art. Further, the value and possible
functions of the artwork may be the reason why it was created.
You may ask the following questions:
● What are the norms of the community where the artwork has come from?
● What is the role of the piece in the daily lives of the community?
● How did it impact the lives of the people in the community?
4. The Society - The current situation in the society may take part on why an artwork is created. It may depict the current
scenarios and even significant historical affairs.
To draw connections between society and art, you may ask the following questions:
● What was happening when the artwork was created?
● What are the political and societal realities during those times?
● How did these affairs affect the artist and what was his stance on the issues?
5. The Audience - The perception of an artwork may also vary according to the outlook of the audience. This may come
from the image of the artwork and their depiction of the used technique and medium.
With that, it becomes important to ask the following questions:
● Who is the intended audience of the artwork?
● What is the artistic background of the audience?
By knowing the context of an art, you will be able to research and further understand what it is about. Asking these
questions above may help you arrive at a conclusive interpretation of an artwork; it also ensures that the interpretation of an
artwork is not dependent on pure speculation. Moreover, understanding other artworks may inspire you in coming up with
your own style. Prior research will provide you with a wide variety of ideas and skills which you may use to create your own
artwork.
