1. Reflect about an aspect of art history that is shows

         -Basing it to history art shows the historical background of wars before. The museum showcase the different weapons such as sword, their means of transportation and etc. Most of the pictures also illustrates the era where wars to exist. In terms of product you could really see how modern the products are for it is really made many years ago but luckily it some of it is already existing. There reflect its historical aspect it is really a modern art for it displays the happening before.

       2. How the art relate to the institution and the collection of art it houses?

           - Relating the arts to the institution the art came from our maranao brothers and sisters therefore they are really part of the institution. The arts and product shows the hierarchy of authority that is very common in our society. In terms of the collection of the art, it really suits in the museum cause they are really facts that happened long time ago.

       3. What impression does it give you?

            

              - The impression that the museum gave me is enjoyment. The opportunity that has given to us witnessing the products, historical phenomena and amazing arts are truly worthwhile. Witnessing the fact made us realize how amazing they are before even technologies haven't exist. Life is really a matter of choice and the challenge how to make wise decisions. :)

RIZAL MONUMENT

1. How is this monument different from other monuments of a neighboring town?

           - This monument differs from other neighboring towns for it is made up of marble that is not the same as the neighboring towns. On the  other hand Rizal's gesture is way too different for neighboring towns that usually Rizal is holding objects such as books, rod and etc.

      2. What is the relationship of these monuments to the surrounding space and other structures within the space? Do they dominate the space? Or are they overshadowed by other structures such as condominium building that obstructs the view of Rizal in Luneta?

            - Actually there is no significant relationship between the surrounding establishment on the monument. Yes establishment dominate the space for it is a commercial area but it is a attention catcher for it is placed at the middle making each citizen take a glimpse on it. It may not be seen for it is located at the center but it tribute located in the center of plaza Divisoria gives the true essence of being a national hero.

       3. How is the subject (for instance Rizal or any other town hero) DEPICTED? what is he wearing? How is he posed, or how is he standing, and where is he facing? Does the subject have any trace of facial expression? what is the subject holding? How big or tall is the subject in realation to the other elements of the sculpture, in relation to the viewer, and the other elements surrounding the space?

          - He is wearing a usual clothing that is similar to the traditional ones. He acted like or posed like a standing person that is thinking or reflecting facing downwards. Yes the subject has the trace of facial expression he is kind of mesmerizing on something. The subject is not holding a thing, comparing its height to the Rizal in Luneta it almost the same. It is considered as sculpture for it is made up of marble that is a stone therefore it's composition and it is a abstract form making it sculpture.

          4. In which direction are our eyes led to as we look at the monument? Are they led toward the core of the sculpture, or are we led to look and move outwardly? Is the figure more self-contained, or is the subject oriented to you and the space? In other words, what image is projected by Rizal or the subject? How the elements shape this image?

         - The image projected by Rizal is a self-contained one. We all know that he is a part of our history for he is our national hero. The elements it as such as marble stone, gesture are basis of being a sculpture especially that it went to a series of carving until it shapes into a Rizal monument. The space cop up to its geographical location for it is the heart of the city making it as apple of the night in the space.

WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY ARTS?

1. In its most basic sense, the term contemporary art refers to art—namely, painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance, and video art—produced today. Though seemingly simple, the details surrounding this definition are often a bit fuzzy, as different individuals' interpretations of “today” may widely and wildly vary. Therefore, the exact starting point of the genre is still debated; however, many art historians consider the late 1960s (the end of modern art, or modernism) to be an adequate estimate.

1. Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us.

1. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing the world.

Contemporary dance:—-is a popular form of dance which developed during the middle portion of the twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominating performance genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world,—-with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and western Europe. Although originally informed by and borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance.—-but due to its popularity amongst trained dancers and some overlap in movement type, it is often perceived as being closely related to modern dance, ballet and other classical concert dance styles.

THESE ARTS SYMBOLIZES

1. What unites the various artists and styles associated with Symbolism is the emphasis on emotions, feelings, ideas, and subjectivity rather than realism. Their works are personal and express their own ideologies, particularly the belief in the artist's power to reveal truth.
2. n terms of specific subject matter, the Symbolists combined religious mysticism, the perverse, the erotic, and the decadent. Symbolist subject matter is typically characterized by an interest in the occult, the morbid, the dream world, melancholy, evil, and death.
3. Instead of the one-to-one, direct-relationship symbolism found in earlier forms of mainstream iconography, the Symbolist artists aimed more for nuance and suggestion in the personal, half-stated, and obscure references called for by their literary and musical counterparts.
4. Symbolism provided a transition from Romanticism in the early part of the nineteenth century to modernism in the early part of the twentieth century. In addition, the internationalism of Symbolism challenges the commonly held historical trajectory of modern art developed in France from Impressionism through Cubism.
