aesthetics in Western, Asia, and in Philippines

Aesthetics essential to humanities have this primary root that was strongly influenced them to create and do more such an aesthetics that will bring to them the concept of making a competitive division on one is in culture, underneath was their tradition, beliefs and political situation because this made most of the country’s identity and also their history and at the same time the art and beauty will take part in here. The geography also will bring the aesthetic  that was considered to communicate to other aesthetics and to preserved its commodity.

In western aesthetic, there was the called the most powerful tool or idea to make their esthetics become vital to them and to others which make a demand for many of us to have and to experience, these were the ones who contribute to the development of western countries especially on Greeks-the Plato’s philosophy and Aristotle’s philosophy, because of the strong connection of two, their students and the students now who among them was right from their philosophies. Also the notion on arts couldn’t unnoticed, there was the classicism, baroque and romanticism. These three made up the lifestyle of the people their more unified and the way they think or the way they reason out always have a connection to philosophy and their history, the reason was the philosophy in west was thinking and thinking was done in language.

Asian aesthetics compromises the environment of cultural diversity with philosophical traditions and the aesthetics surround these will explain through the principles of the value from the art and nature considering the study of two concepts, the human and the nature itself because there is an integral behind it. Asian aesthetics always have a concern to the tradition they have and more on religion like Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism and Shintoism have influenced much in Korea, Japan,Thailand, China and etc. because the faith that was bestow to them was strongly passes eventually when a new generation comes. That’s why , you cannot just pass this but bring it in your life that made you as what your fosters live. The idea of honor and respect were the building structure for most of the people.

Philippine aesthetic was a diversity when it becomes in nature, culture, religion and political as well, a combination and a combination of other combinations. Why? Because the Philippine history will explain, there was many invasion happen from Japanese, Spaniards, Americans and etc. which the aesthetics here in Philippines was not as the western was unified. Looking back from our culture and traditions, we are not the one who has the knowledge of that at first but we just elaborate it and continue. In politic, presidents, vice presidents and other government officials, the americans contribute it. The business phase, there were the Chinese , religion the Spanish some of our attitude that our national have was from Japanese-the thrifty. Philippine aesthetics always have a connections almost through out the world, our establishments, lifestyle, relationship to others. When it becomes in art and beauty, we have these, beauty for men and women, artistic figurative speech of idea and the its complement.

My personal aesthetic was Asian aesthetic because I like to value the their image of honor and respect, this made me develop the image of otherness and being a collective person. aside that I am from an Asian  country, I personaly want to have their strong faith because I do believe that even in small thing, makes your life be bless, just to have faith and believe on what you know-you will know what you haven't know and that brings my perspective in life that such an aesthetic on you will do much, like when you honor and respect.

Cultural Center of the Philippines

Cultural Center of the Philippines was said to be a scary art gallery because of what happened during the construction of this building under Marcos administration. The site of where the CCP was is a good place because around the building there is the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the hotels, the harbor square, PICC,  Manila Harbor and others. For me, locals and tourists have easily access to CCP where some of the famous artworks were there,also there is the good room or studio for the ballet and for theater. The architectural 

representation of this is fit to the weather condition of our place also the other side was a body of water, which is contagious in establishments, outside you see that it was huge but have less artworks to occupy.Inside, the main lobby was like a royal sala which there was a side by side stairs which was covered by red carpet, the walls was thick. At night there is a viewing of lights on the water surface outside, just like in Rizal Park, different colors reflects to the water that creates like a fire works that attracts to your eyes.

The new national  museum (old finance building), tourism building and old national building (old legislative building). this are some of the building that were construct that were on the original urban plan for the Manila by Daniel Burnham. Burnham's contribution on our place was valuable because his concept that was combined with the Venice and other classical architectural establishments but as they said because of the decisions of the local mayor it contributes to the ugliness of the city. As you see, the new national building and the tourism building has common to each other, at the center the posts were actually the same number and with the three building, the color were the same and the architectural phase was classical. inside the old national building the ceiling was high,like a church which there is something sacred or mysterious, inside of it also it was classical and almost all the artworks here were all about our history featuring the local people, sculptures and others were educational which featuring the collections of animals. In the new national building, there were the collections of what the locals have and what they do in everyday living.

The original urban plan for the Manila was for in past it was waste but for me it has great contribution especially to the tourists, for the some buildings CCP, tourism building, old and new national building attracts most to these people. And if the Burnham's plan was apply, surely it will help to the development of our economic, also it will increase more to the state of our tourism, business,  here in our place will be much.

Artist-Claudio Bravo

Claudio Bravo

Claudio bravo was a well known painter specifically to the portraits that he did added to that he was also one of the world's greatest hyperrealist painter. Through the paintings that he did, it always  portraying old fashion style viewing the precious thing to the society that he live on.

  

The works that he did emphasizes the idea of simpleness enhancing dramatic view and puzzling  sense. He also considers the classical concept which is a self-like that was sociable featuring the way of life. The color that he use makes the reality pop-out and the texture shows the details and angular in every sides of his model.

                    MY SELF-PORTTRAIT

My self-portrait quite simple but it shows the details and it makes the object pop-out, through the color that I use it makes the work real and the classic fashion. It may look like a festive costume but for me it becomes my idea of how art made my life better because through the style of the hair, it looks that I live in wealth family specifically royal family. The work that I did considers the idea of feminism, that in the works of Claudio Bravo also has, a feminism that for me it was not only applied fir women because when it becomes in art, all idea were equally distributive and the quality that makes the viewer become interested was depend on how the artist made his or her model.
