WOMEN IN ARTS

           If we go back to history, in renaissance time, baroque, and even in Plato’s times. We knew that women are not accepted in society, in terms of leadership and in the field of art. They said that women are just for crafts (monumental art), childbearing, and man’s gaze. Following the system were women are just secondary to men’s. 

          “Feminism” organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests. It I an advocacy for women rights. As the history tells about women, women are degraded by men’s. In this case we will talk about “ART” like paintings of Constance Marie Carpentiear and Sofonisba Anguisola they are woman artist in renaissance time. At their time women are in the lower status of society. As a result when women artist exhibited their artwork, bringing their names as an artist, it would rather not be sold because during that time people are still in cultured (close minded) so they come up in wise idea, they bring the names of their master or teacher so that the Marxist system still effective “ no losses”.

           1970’s when the movement (feminism) became significant in the arts world. One of these is the “The Dinner Party” by the women artist named Judy Chicago. “The Dinner Party” is an installation was the shape is triangular and it symbolizes “Trinity”. This installation tells about what and who are the matriarchal phrase of history (the powerful women in B.C. and A.D.). Examples of these are the Primordial goddess, Ishtar, Mediterranean snake goddess, Queen Hatshepsut and Empress Theodora. Judy Chicago made this art that shout about the sacrificing of women in patriarchal domination of western society. This art made perfect and give influence to all women that they should fight for their rights.

            Giorgia O’ Keeffe said when she made her art the Black Iris III. “Trying will all my skill to do a painting that is all of a woman as well as all of me”. Man’s cannot rule women just because they are more powerful being, live here on earth. They should also know that if they are something in man’s world that only man can tell, they are also something about women that only a woman can express. As they define art simple to describe as it is easy to define. Every individual have differences of the talent, sexuality, attitude and learning. Direct word on it is respect for the sake of world peace.

THE FEELING OF A FINE ARTS STUDENT

                  Hi! I’m Christina a Fine Arts student in the University of the Philippines Cebu. As my experienced being a Fine Arts student I can say in our field cool, stress, cool, stress, cool, stress and cool. This are what I feel, making plates or project so big, waiting for the extreme deadline, then some rest days for how many meetings and do more reactions and reports for the theories of art. Other courses said that Fine Arts students are chill, nothing to do, and calm people. But as a Fine Arts student we are maybe like this but they don’t really know what are the test of suffering and difficulties we take just to reach a nicer future. Just like other courses we also experienced failures but we are more special as I can say because we much closer, bond and weird in thinking that makes as united from oldest to youngest in our course.

        As what they defined Fine - choice, excellent, or admirable and Arts – it is simple to describe as it is difficult to define. So Fine Arts – visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness. If we speak to the talent we can say that we are most special because we believe that we are born to be an artist and not made. Even others told us that we are weird people, but weirdness can make you different and to be different makes you an idol.

        In order to survive in this course you need full pack talent and learning’s about art, have determination to know more about art. Were not just learned how to draw, paint, design and etc. but also all fields of art which is the “seven arts”. The course Fine Arts means that we are more out in the box. Because step by step we learned to know our box mean to us and you can tell that box is by yourself because yourself is the artist of your dreams.

        We studied harder and harder in our theories and basic arts. So that we can make a famous artwork that the world can proud of. To be an Artist just like surviving of the fetus because if we don’t find a way to be an idol you will be forever in the end. Many people discriminated us because they think we are nothing and no need people or in direct word they think we are useless. Maybe we’re just look like this. But they are wrong because we are brilliant people who have everything, we are not just skilled people but we are also talented to do things. Just a reminder all the things that surround in you are forms of art. So it means we are in the highest rank of all.

HUNT MY PASSION

   I'm just a simple girl who still finding her passion in life. I keep asking this question to myself, what is my passion in life. I am now a third year college but still I'm in fifty-fifty to my future because I don’t really know my wants in my life. I am now confused because my student life near to be end and I need now to settle my carrier. For my future I want it successful and peaceful settlement as a human being who live here in earth and a follower of God.

           They said passion implies energetic  and unflagging pursuit of an aim or devotion to a cause. There are steps to follow, if you really want to know you passion. First is what you love to do in your life, Second is what you've always dream of, and Third are about your social, economic, and personal attachment on it. These are the steps that I followed and thanks to the internet because I fined it and learned it fast to find my passion. But I know it depends to a person on how they find their passion in life. For my case I need someone to help me to defined and learned the steps to meet my passion.

         Now, I know what I want which is to be a fashion designer. But in order to reach it I need to focused to my first course which is Studio Arts. Time to time this passion will be grant, I always prayed it to God plus my handwork to reach it for my future. This is not only for myself together with this is my family. My success is also their success.

        People always dream to be successful someday. They try and try, others succeed but others are failed. I always believe that in order to be successful you need to give all your determination, love, hardship, and most important is your faith in God. In my age many sufferings and failures I face but this reasons unwind me to stand up. Because I grow up to face it and this is the real world that I will live someday. Passion for me is important because this is my basis what will be my future and to know who really me as an artistic creation of our almighty God.
