In the fast-paced 21st century, there's a fear that technology may replace human

creativity. However, the arts remain a significant way to grapple with the present,
highlighting the resilience of human imagination.

"Art when really understood is the province of every human being . It

is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra
thing. When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work
may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing
creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets,
enlightens, and he opens ways for a better understanding. Where those who
are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it, shows there
are more pages possible."

- Robert Henri

 HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• Before the industrial revolution, artisans
made everything by hand. In Bali, art is
second nature, where artistic creation is a
communal act, often blending the roles of
artists and artisans.
• In Bali, artists are dedicated only to the
creative side, making visually pleasing
work only for the enjoyment and
appreciation of the viewer, but with no
functional value.
• This is what separates Bali from the rest
of the industrial world. It is a place where
the ‘Artistic License’ has not been
separated from the Artisan.
 HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• In the first episode of the video series "New Ways
of Seeing," a project by The New York Times' T
Brand Studio and jewelry giant Tiffany & Co., art
critic Jerry Saltz (2016) underscored the
significance of not only the discovery of the cave
paintings, but also the paintings themselves.

• Early on, artists were embedded in the

development of culture, and in turn, art was
nurtured by the varying cultures in which it VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL
existed.
• Artists even created places and spaces where communities may
gather. There are numerous monuments and memorials that are
plotted over the world such as the infamous Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington, DC.
The Artisan and the Guilds
• Craftsmen and builders in the past did not have sophisticated
terminologies and principles that architects and engineers abide
by today. Yet, they fulfilled overlapping roles such as the
draftsman, architect, engineer, and even as the builder. What
they had was a sense on how materials behaved, how the
environment, light, and weather patterns affected
structures, and other more intuitive principles of creation.
The Artisan and the Guilds
Cologne Cathedral - it is but one of the
many examples of early Gothic
architecture.
• The account was that master mason
Gerhard Ryle started the project
in1248 but was only completed
roughly 600 years later, claiming the
record as one of the longest
construction projects to date.
The Artisan and the Guilds
ARTISAN IN THE PHILIPPINES

• The culture of artisans became prevalent in the Philippines as well,

particularly during the Spanish colonial period.
• During the propagation of the faith, Spanish friars commissioned a
lot of artisans to carve, paint, and engrave images for churches
and public sites.
• Project Kisame is a collective endeavor amongst enthusiasts and
advocates who aimed to promote this art form through
documentation, engagement, and appreciation of surviving ceiling
paintings in more than 60 churches in the Philippines.
 The Artisan and the Guilds
Two important genres of painting during Spanish
colonization
1.Tipos del pais - watercolor paintings that showcased the
different local inhabitants of the country in different garbs, and
clues to their occupation and status.
• Damian Domingo of the Academia de Dibujo - Known as
the best tipos del pais painter, this school specialized in
teaching the miniaturismo style of painting along with the
tenets of classical European painting.

2. Letras y figuras - combined the principle of tipos

del país and incorporated it as a means to illustrate
the letters of one's name or Surname.
 THE ARTIST AND HIS STUDIO
• Before the Renaissance Period, artworks were left
unsigned.
• Today, artist studios have been a place of interest for
the public. It is interesting to see and learn where
creativity manifests itself, especially since an artist's
studio is an extension of the artist himself.
• There were those whose workstations were segmented
into two, the studiolo and the bottega; the latter is
where the work usually happened.
• During the 1900s, art was truly liberated from the
traditions of the past. Perhaps it was then that artists
found freedom to articulate their distinct aesthetic way
of creative production.

 MEDIUM AND TECHNIQUE
• Medium is the mode of expression in which the
concept, idea, or message is conveyed. It may
be:
• Concrete or tangible, such as paintings,
sculptures, monuments, and structures.
• Ephemeral or something transient, such as a
track (recording of sound), a film, or a
performance.

• The technique of the artwork shows the level of

familiarity with the medium being manipulated.
• Necessity of additional tools or implements, or
consideration of time, and the specificity of the
site of creation.
 ENGAGEMENT WITH ART
ART EXHIBITIONS

• Keeping art relevant to society and to a diverse audience

at any given point in history is one of the main goals of
the art exhibition and one of the reasons it is so
important to the history of art.
• It is apparent that exhibitions are not only of import to
artists who rely on its being, but more so to the varied
audiences who get to see them.
• One of the most common platforms to engage with the
art is through exhibitions either at museums or galleries.
• An artist may have a solo exhibition or may be included in a two-person showing or even
a group exhibition.
• Aside from exhibitions, other opportunities for art engagement transpire in the
classroom (instruction); studio visits; lectures, workshops, etc.
