HEHEHEHEHE'S ART EXPERIENCE

PLEASE READ: These pictures were taken using a cellphone's camera only so the quality of some pictures are not that good. :)

1. MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE ARTIST

Artists need inspiration. This simple artwork meets the needs of an artist. By its different shapes and colors, it can inspire an artist to create a new artwork with much beauty! 

2. ELEVATES COMMON PLACE

Without the beautiful abstract painting, that corridor may be a boring and unexciting place to stay. However the plain looking place became a cool "tambayan" because the abstract painting enhanced the mood and atmosphere of the corridor.

3. PROTESTS INJUSTICE AND RAISES SOCIAL AWARENESS

A common piece of material may have a deeper meaning. One good example of which is this tall brown rock. At a glance, it looks like a rock is misplaced out of nowhere. However through this rock the people longing for peace expressed themselves and they wanted others to be also aware of it.

4. REFLECTS THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT

This four wheeled cart is one of the "only in the Philippines" seen objects. Because of this useful artwork, the Filipino culture (that is we love to eat street foods) is seen! 

5. RECORDS AND COMMEMORATES EXPERIENCE

Art is also used for commemorating unforgettable moments. The picture seen above is an artwork along the sidewalk UP. It may be simple and straightforward but it brings back memories.

6. EXPRESSES CHAOS

This old building was formerly the grade school building of UPIS. The building itself is an art. Its structures, designs and paintings are considered art. However this piece of art was abandoned. From a useful structure with a positive aura, it became an artwork that expresses fear and also chaos. 

7. CREATES ORDER AND HARMONY

Road signs and symbols are also a form of art. The colors and shapes in it guide people to lessen accidents    and creates order and harmony.

8. STIMULATES THE INTELLECTUAL AND FIRES EMOTIONS

With this piece of art, Filipinos are reminded of the mighty acts of Adnres Bonifacio. It gives a strong emotion of gratitude. Because of his heroic deeds we are able to experience the freedom we are enjoying now.

9. EXPRESSES FANTASY

This statue is named Lorna. Notice that her pen is missing? It is believed that at night that statue comes to life to look for her lost pen. Whether you believe it or not, the truth is, this is just an artwork which expresses fantasy!

10. EXPRESSES RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

A simple Novena book is boring to read. That is why arts is used to encourage more people to be more faithful in their beliefs. Art is also used to express which faith people are believing.

11. IMMORTALIZES

Even though tita Cory passed away last year, this yellow ribbon immortalizes the democracy that she imposed in our country. 

12. TRUTH

Are you familiar with the saying, "Ang bata, hindi nagsisinungaling." Because of this old saying, we asked a child to draw because we believed that children are innocent thus their artworks reflect truth.

13. ENHANCES ENVIRONMENT

Not a common trash bin right? This unique trash bin for us is an artwork which helps in enhancing the environment. Because of its extraordinary form, it catches attention and eventually encourages people to throw their garbage properly.

14. BEAUTY

Advertisements are also a form of art. By looking at this "Gandang Ricky Reyes" ad, beauty is expressed. It  tells the consumers that if they want to achieve a beautiful hair, "gatas lang ang katapat mo noh!"
