1. LESSON 9: THEMES AND SUBJECT MATTER LR

2. Subject - in the arts refers to what they are all about. Themes - are what connect subjects to their social milieu, and there are many ways of determining the theme of an artwork. - go beyond the literal, the data on the artwork and what we see at the surface level with our senses. Subject matter - answers the question "What do we see, hear, smell, taste, or touch?" Using our senses is the initial step

3. A t the most obvious and surface level, we note its initial data: Title Artist Medium Dimension Year Beyond this initial data are texts , images , allusions and symbols that clue us in to the social and historical contexts referred to. It is at this level of symbolism and allegory that the thematic plane operates.

4. HEROISM AND IDENTITY

5. The Rizal National Monument - located in Lucena - is the result of a national competition launched in 1905. - Unveiled in 1913 - It is a landmark monument cum mausoleum housing the remains of the hero. - depicts its subject as a standing figure, clutching a book, perhaps symbolizing the importance that Rizal placed on education. - He is shown clad, not in native clothing, but a European overcoat.

6. The first prize was awarded to Italian Carlos Nicoli but due to the latter's inability to comply with certain requirements, the commission was given to the second place winner the Swiss artist Richard Kissling. Calamba, Laguna - Rizal's birthplace - we find his largest statue which stands 26 feet high, and portrays him as a sportsman. Daet, Camarines Norte - the first monument erected in 1898 did not include a human figure but consisted of an obelisk with Masonic elements.

7. Rizal - was an ilustrado, and one of the first migrants who left, studied and waged reforms abroad. - Just as he migrated to many places, so did his image. Ilustrados - left to pursue opportunities for reform and study

8. HEROISM AND ecology

9. Rizal - scientist - farmer - teacher - poet - sculptor - merchant - engineer -loving s on - patriot Dapitan - Rizal bought a piece of land through the prize money he won in a lottery, planted trees, raised livestock and pets, and shared produce to his community

10. Rizal - He engaged with farmers to market their products and with the help of the community, built a dam out of discarded roof tiles, gin bottles, and stones. - He gave lessons to children imaginatively through art, anecdotes, poetry, and statues. - He collected information on species he discovered, and sent information to scientific communities.

11. SPECIES NAMED AFTER RIZAL: 1. Draco Rizali - a flying lizard 2. Rachophorus Rizali - a frog 3. Apogonia Rizali - a beetle

12. Leonard Co - who also discovered a number of endemic plant species. Rafflesia Leonardi - most famous species associated with him - a parasitic plant named after him, which bears flowers and is among the largest species in the world. Rizal - was shot dead in Luneta when he was 35.

13. Leonard Co - was 56 when he was slain in an alleged crossfire amidst the forests of Kanaga, Leyte, where he and his team were doing research for a project aimed at propagating endangered and indigenous trees in the area; like Rizal, Co was a - polymath - a man of many talents and intelligences - was a dedicated botanist - musician, photographer, poet - spoke Mandarin, Filipino, and Latin - he was a comic whose performances soothed his team's weary minds whenever they were out on the field.

14. Modest exhibit by Liongoren Gallery - paid tribute to Rizal and Co by honoring eight male environmentalists whose contributions were interpreted through and installations done by eight women artists, as part of an annual series - paintings exhibitions entitled Walong Filipina. Students of Art Studies class in UP Diliman - who were assigned to research and write the pairs

15. Aliana Grace Gimena - was assigned to the team of a policeman about Goldie Poblador - artist who approached the subject in this manner: Simple Words and Simple Deeds: No to Plastic Traumatic. Alarming. - These are words that come to mind whenever we recall Ondoy, and the floods made more catastrophic because of drainages clogged by plastic.

16. S enior Superintendent Romeo Magsalos - former PNP Chief of Police of Marikina, to act. - He initiated and strictly implemented the "Zero Plastic Bag and Styrofoam Campaign" at the Marikina City Police Station. Goldie Poblador - interprets this example by setting up an installation made up of 12 jars of waste and 12 jars of flora collected from the environs of Marikina.

17. A graduate of the UP College of Fine Arts - Poblador's body of works is built on collecting and ephemerality. - In her early works, she collected scents; and then she moved on to making and collecting jars. In this work, she collects waste, a representation of the garbage we amass;

18. SPIRITUALITY, ECOLOGY, AND EVERYDAY LIFE

19. Rizal's monuments - are often placed at the center of the town plaza, a configuration inherited from Spanish colonizers, as we have learned from previous lessons. Church - usually has a kumbento or convent, generally housing a school, the parish priest's quarters and the office

20. Mahatao in Batan Island - a municipality that is 99% Roman Catholic San Carlos Church - the 19th century built - is a heritage site, a multi-purpose place, and a physical hub that has played a key role in protecting the various historic structures and objects of the place.

21. Kumbento - leads to the office and quarters of the parish priest - is also a meeting place for local organizations, and because it has doorways that cut across the church, it is also a corridor and passageway to a shortcut. - is dark, barren, and empty at times, filled with people on the way to somewhere else at other times, or occasionally engaging with each other, and perhaps for others with a meditative bent, the space could serve as a transit point, where tired minds and hearts can rest and reflect

22. Jay Ticar - constructed an archive composed of blank books arrayed on shelves that mimic the waves of the sea, and other objects that resonate with the surrounding environs. Two boats that Ticar bought - Abandoned; tataya - Larger one

23. tataya - the traditional wind-powered boat once owned by a fishers association Bamboo poles (articulated like a fishing rod) - carrying recycled floater turned light-bulb housing illuminate the boats. valugan or aplaya - beach in English - boulders are used as stools

24. Hidden planks with wheels - are installed under these stones in an attempt to have a floating feel particularly if they are being moved. Vanua - a natural corridor that serves as passageway, as transit point that divides as well as links the seen and the unseen, marking the points where land meets sea. - it is also a stopover and seasonal port for the migratory and precious dorado or arayu Diura - a fishing village located around two kilometers from Mahataw

25. "illuminated archive of dust," (Ticar's working title) - serves as a multi-sensory and multi-gestural bearer of non-official micro-narratives of loss and leavings, as well as gains and triumphs that resonate and ripple across waters. - The installation also compels us to reflect on the kumbento, a passageway, a meeting place and stopover for residents, migratory tourists, scholars, and transients. - It finds its parallel in the vanua, - It is also a metaphorical transit point between material, psychic, and spiritual realms. These passageways make us think of another research site - the shores of Diura

26. dorado or arayu (Coryphaena hippurus) - the golden- bellied migratory fish of summer Mataws - catch using hooks and lines, and by using live flying fish as bait, which are in turn caught through locally-developed special hooks, baited with freshwater shrimps and crustaceans. Arayu - is considered gold from the sea, "ginto ng dagat" around which revolve elaborate rules and regulations about how to catch, haul the fish out of the boat, clean, carry and eat.

27. 3-month fishing season - the vanua is a sacred and sensitive place, "writes the anthropologist Maria Mangahas. Maria Mangahas - Only the members who participated in the ritual are allowed to launch their tatayas from the vanua, which has to be kept clean and healthy-free of dirt, which is synonymous with bad luck, bwisit or malas-because on such qualities depend the day-to-day success or failures of the mataws' fishing fortunes.

28. The Mataw Rites - 'make' a negotiated 'community'with a leader and a system of government, that incorporates the spirits and the fish. The ritual - along with the taboos, comprise a kind of social control that assures discipline, but it is a social control that is made possible, not through legal and formal regulations-although there are some ordinances surrounding the baiting of the flying fish, the favorite arayu prey, and of course, there are also international laws that guard against poachers that prey on Philippine waters.

29. Diura Valugan - or port becomes open territory, more vulnerable to indiscriminate fishing and other ecologically destructive practices. It appears to be confirmed by more systematic research
