Answer to Question #262094 in English for Mia

Question

1. Why is it important to know and appreciate localized materials found in our community?

2. How can an artist maximize the limited resources in creating artwork especially a decorative one?

Answer 1

1] The importance of localized materials in my life has helped me to appreciate the beauty of our own. I don't have to buy branded clothes or shoes for me to look classy because we have a lot of them made with the hands of talented Filipinos. You don't deserve to be called a Filipino if you don't appreciate the beauty behind our locals. It also helps recognize how wonderful our society is as well as appreciate our culture.

2] First and most importantly, a person cannot create art without utilizing at least a few of them. Secondly, knowing what the elements of art are, enables us to describe what an artist has done, analyze what is going on in a particular piece, and communicate our thoughts and findings using a common language. The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.
