INSIGHTS As the class is almost finish, instead of only learning from a textbook, during this semester I’ve learned how to appreciate art in diverse of ways and projects such as having presentations, individual reports, painting, sculpture-making and architecture scrapbook. However, textbook provided me the basic knowledge and terminologies that I should know while appreciating art, this is the basic required that later on I could know deeply about art. Despite this typical learning method, I, together with my group mates, also visit churches and infrastructures which are inspired by foreign styles. In fact, this architecture exploration around Cebu gave me an opportunity expanding what I learned from the textbook and combined with how to use this new art concepts and analyzing sense when facing a real art work. I was able to appreciate Filipino architects during the making of the churches we’ve been such as Cathedral Church, Sto. Niño, Plaza Independencia, St. Joseph, Anabaptist Church, etc. It was a great experience trying to locate some inspired architectures here in Cebu. Though I’m not a catholic, which made me an ignorant person towards entering into churches I don’t really visit, I still had the chance to acquire knowledge about these places I’ve mentioned above. This project I had with the group made me reminded by myself about what I saw and learned based on previous teaching topics. I discovered my daily surrounding in the view of art, and because of this different view I caught up some lost things in my ordinary days, moreover, changing my thinking way of my life by provoking from this unique and necessary view, the view of art. And with the help of Humanities, I was able to understand the elements and principles in a work of art. I know that I am also considered as a work of art but what signifies me from the other works of art is that I am as unique as you are also because I was made by my almighty God who patiently molded me into a beautiful person inside and out. The humanities class accompanied me went through my first truly college life, this is the class that filled with abundant art knowledge, interesting art activity, architecture explorations, and lovely classmates. Although I only know more about art from now on, but this is not lately to learn and finding something in art, to me, art made me realized that one thing could have different consequence and result. The key is that how people seeing this. Consequently, each individual will have their own explanation about art, based on their own experience and analyzing, this is why art is so unique and distinguishing from others. After taking this humanities class, I learned a lot, but not in pushing from a lot of stress. Furthermore, I have a sentence that express my view of art after this class, I think that in this bankrupting world the only currency is “Art.”
