3. Why do people make an ARTS? - People
create art to express their feelings, share ideas
and connect with others. It serves as a means
to understand the world and their place within
it. By creating a art it can help people manage
their stress, increase self esteem and cope with
difficult emotions. It can be a safe space for
people who love arts.
4. Compare and contrast representational
from non - representational art - The
representational art is the art that shows from
the real world. Like for example a portrait of a
person, landscapes or the objects. While the
non representational art doesn’t see anything
form the real world. It’s like the objects that
you cant recognize but still art. They focuses
on colors, shapes and forms without trying to
represent anything recognizable.
5. Why do you think it is important for one to
have a background of the different ways in
which art subjects are presented - Having a
background in the various ways art subjects
are presented is important because it enhances
one's ability to interpret and appreciate the
diverse expressions and meanings behind the
artwork.

powerful painting that symbolizes the
struggles and suffering of the Filipinos under
spanish colonization. It shows defeated
gladiators being dragged into a dark chamber
injustice and loss of freedom. I think Juan
Luna was incredibly successful in conveying
this message because of the raw emotions. The
use of lights and shadows speaks volume even
without words. This masterpiece continues to
resonate with the viewers today, making it
timeless representation of both historical and
human struggles.
