The thing I did is that I drew a heart and divided it into half. On the left side, I drew lines that branched out from the middle of the heart where I divided it and the spaces outside of the branches are colored black. However, the other division of the heart remained uncolored but I drew a branch that spreads out to the center and put some leaves on it. My output was a heart divided into two where the half part, black-colored,  symbolizes the people in our community who are jealous, intimidated, corrupt and etc. The branch seen on the drawing symbolizes hope that even though people may tend to be bad sometimes, there will always be a part of them that can change. And the other half, the white one symbolizes purity, love and generosity. Also, the branch with leaves symbolizes the blooming heart of kindness.

            The activity made me feel somehow like an artist. I did not just draw just for the sake of passing the activty on time but it made feel like someone who's able to express oneself in a deep manner of medium. It made me think not only on thoughts but with deeper meaning. Further, it made me convey of what I see or feel about the people around me through putting symbols on a bond paper in an artistic way.

I am a kind of person that can easily be drawn and get attached to things. Unfortunately,  inconsistency always strikes me. I am angage through various activities but wasn't able to be persistent enough to pursue it. At this point, I am indulging myself into the art of photography.  I may not be a professional on the field yet but I am trying my best to understand how it works. I admit, I am still in the process of learning. I engage to fun photoshoots with my friends or sometimes help them with their projects. I assume that the photos I’ve taken would always be underrated and be judged by other people negatively. I am a sensitive type of person who would overthink what other people would also think about me. This makes me feel easily discouraged towards any activity.

Folded Like Origami

Image
For my artwork, I did an origami of an elephant and cherry blossom flowers. Using available materials, I chose the construction paper as an alternative to origami paper for my medium. I also used scissors to cut the papers into square since most origami starts with a square base. I instantly chose the elephant because they are very adorable giants and cherry blossom flowers because they are pretty, simple, and easy to make with the available time I have left. The two shows my love for nature which represents the fauna and flora, respectively. I almost even forgot that I can do art. Ever since elementary, I recognized my lack of creative talent. I remember just hating activities and projects that would make us draw, paint, and whatnot. Although, I appreciate artworks very much – I love going to the museum, theaters, admiring personal artworks of my friends, and even looking around places for different forms of art. Fortunately, I learned about  origami  or...

The Art of Music Within Me

Image
There will always be a form of art that a person can be really into, in which he/she can express him/herself or a message he/she wants to convey to its audience. In my case, ever since, music has always been the form of art that is very close to my heart. In doing the creative exercise, we were tasked to bring materials that we can use to incorporate with our arts, and what I got is just a pen and a small piece of paper. Incorporating these materials, what I did was to just write anything that pops up my mind and eventually came up with a lyric of a song. Even though I am really into the field of music, I love feeling the hype and the groove of every beat, the feels that flow within me as the rhythm of the song starts, the way singers voice out the lyrics and jamming into it, it was actually my first time writing a song as a piece of art. So, it really challenges the creativeness and the quality of being a so-called “artist” within me. As it was aforementioned, it was m...

A Friendly Reminder

Image
     As someone who doesn't consider herself as artistic or creative, this activity actually went way better that I thought it would. My hand automatically did what it had to do before my mind actually thought of something more complicated. In just about ten minutes, I was able to come up with this output:      The photo above shows my take on Calligraphy - a visual art related to writing. Written are the words pahuway anay,  which roughly translates to "rest for a while". I think that the main inspiration behind this work are the personal frustrations that I currently have. Being able to express and address my feelings in an artistic way makes me feel like I can also use art as a platform to inspire those who are currently undergoing similar situations as I am. As a "creative", it makes me feel hopeful that my art could actually have an effect other people's lives and not just bring something "visually appealing", but shallow to the t...
