Subject and Content

Representational art depicts objects or events from the real world through figures, portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. Non-representational art does not reference the real world and focuses solely on visual elements and concepts to convey emotion. Both types of art have a subject, which is the observable element, and a content, which is the meaning or message expressed by the artist. Accessing the subject and content of art can be challenging as meaning is open to interpretation and depends on the viewer's perspective.

DISCUSSION POINTS
1. What are the hurdles of accessing art in terms of its
subject and content?
The hurdles in accessing art in terms of its subject
and content is that, art is very unpredictable. Art
cannot be explained as easy as what others think. It
has a deep meaning in every art or it portrays a lot of
meanings. Even the subject of the painting portrays
an undetermined or very unusual meaning as well as
the content on why it is considered as art. we have
different perspective in viewing one's opinion and it
depends upon the viewer on how they will interpret
it.
2. Where do artists source their subjects?
Artists source their subject based on their
imaginations, ideas and experiences. Art is product of
our mind, and also our emotions.

3. Why do you think that in the Philippines, people are


not engaged in art activities?
Filipinos are engaged in art activities, in fact, one
way of preserving our culture is through art. Filipinos
love to dance, sing, and perform. Philippines are
engaged to different kinds of art, it could be traditional
art, modern art, and other varieties of forms.
4. How important is perception in engaging in art?
Perception in art stands for a complex relation
between virtual stimuli and a personal understanding of
it. It is important because perception is conditioned by
a context from which observation and evaluation is
made.
