Modern Art: Early 20^th Century

Fauvism

What is Fauvism

-Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for “the wild beasts”), a short-lived and loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

- While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and André Derain.

-They saw color as autonoumous, a subject in and of itself, not merely and adjunct to nature. Their vigorious brushwork and emphatic line grew out of their desire for a direct form of expresson, unencumbered by theory.

-Their artwork were also inspired by the discovery of ethnographic works of art from Africa, Polynesia, and other ancient cultures.

Kinds of artwork they produce?

-Despite the aggressiveness of their method, however, their subject matter centered on traditional nudes, still lifes and landscapes.

Paintings that were produced this era?

show the presentation of paintings of Henri Matisse and Andre Derain.

Little backrgound with the painters

Andre Derain- One of the founders of the Fauvist movement (1880-1954).

-As a Fauvist, he usualy use forceful contasts of primary colors and the delineation of forms by blocks of thickly applied pigment speak of something new.

*Delineation: [dih-lin-ee-ey-shuhn] a chart or diagram; sketch; rough draft.

-Nineteenth-century artists emphasized natural light and created their shadows from color compnonets meanwhile, Derain and Fauvists evoked light in their canvases solely with color contrast.

Henri Matisse- The other founder of the Fauvist momvement (1869-1954).

-He bought Fauvism to the forefront of critical recognition. Yet Matisse was one of the major Fauvist artists whose reputation exceeded that of the movement.

-His early paintings revealed a strong and traditional compositional structure, which he gleaned from his first mentor, Adolphe William Bougeureau.

Expressionism

-Expressionism was a cultural movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the start of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world in an utterly subjective perspective, radically distorting it for emotional effect, to evoke moods or ideas.

-Expressionist artists sought to express the meaning of “being alive” and emotional experience rather than physical reality.

-Is the distortion of nature, as opposed to the imitation of nature. n order to achieve a desired emotional effect or representation of inner feelings.

The three other movements under expressionism:

-Die Brucke (The bridge)

-Was founded in Dresden, Germany at the same time that Fauvism was afoot in France.

-The artists who founded this movement chose the name of Die Brucke because, in theory, they saw their movement as bridging a number of disparate styles.

*Disparate: distinct in kind; essentially different; dissimilar: disparate ideas.

-Like Fauvism, Die Brucke was short-lived because of the lact of cohesion among its proponents. But stilll, Die Brucke artists showed some common interests in techniques and subject matter that ranged from boldly colored landscapes and cityscapes to horrific and violent portraits.

-Their emotional upheaval, may in part, have reflected the mayhem of World War I.

*Upheaval: strong or violent change or disturbance, as in a society

Die Brücke is sometimes compared to the Fauves. Both movements shared interests in primitivism art. Both shared an interest in the expressing of extreme emotion through high-keyed color that was very often non-naturalistic. Both movements employed a drawing technique that was crude, and both groups shared an antipathy to complete abstraction. The Die Brücke artists’ emotionally agitated paintings of city streets and sexually charged events transpiring in country settings make their French counterparts, the Fauves, seem tame by comparison

Famous painters that lived in this movement:

-Emil Nolde: The supreme colorist if the Expressionist movement (1867-1956). He joined Die Brucke a year after it was founded. He was also well known for his graphics. He used idiosyncratic, splintered characteristics of the wood-cut: a medium that had not been in vogue for centuries-to created ravagedm nasklike portraits of pain and suffering.

*Idiosyncratic: a characteristic, habit, mannerism, or the like, that is peculiar to an individual.

*his true name is Emil Hansen.

-Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider)

-The Blue Rider artists-who took their group name from a painting of that title by Wassily Kandinsky, a major proponent-depended less heavily on content to communicate feelings and evoke an amotional response from the viewer.

-Their works focused more on the contrastts and combinations of abstract forms and pure colors. In fact, the work of Der Blaue Reiter artitst, at times, is completely without subject and can be disecribed as nonobjective, or abstract.

-Its art sought to free itself from the shackles of obesrvable reality.

Famous painters that lived in this movement:

-Wassily Kandinsky: One of the founders of Der Blaue Reiter was Wassily Kandinsky (189=66-1944), a Russian artist who left a career in law to become an influential abstract painter and art theorist. Hw further analyzed the relationship between art and music in this study. For him, color, line and shape were subjects themselves.

-Neue Sachlichkeit (The New Objectivity)

-The New Objectivity (in German: ”Neue Sachlichkeit”) was an art movement that arose in Germany in the early 1920s as an outgrowth of, and in opposition to, expressionism. The movement essentially ended in 1933 with the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis to power. The term is applied to works of pictorial art, literature, music, and architecture.

-As the World War I ended and the Second World War was coming, artists such as Max Beckmann (1884-1950), reacted to the horrors and senselessness of wartime suffering with an art that commented bitterly on the bureucracy and military with ghastly visions of human torture.

Cubism

-The history of art is colored by the tensions of stylistic polarities within given eras, particularly the polarity of an intellectual versus an emotional approach to painting.

-Cubism is an offspring of Cezanne’s geometrization of nature and his abandonment of scientific perspective, his rendering of multiple views, and his emphasis on the two dimensional canvas surfaces.

-The second major art movement of the twentieth century, Cubism, can trace its heritage to Neoclassicism and the analytical and intellectual work of Cezanne.

*Vignette:

Notable painters:

Pablo Picasso: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso 

-Was born in Spain, the son of an art teacher. He quickly mastered the illusionist techniques of the realistic Academy style.

*Illusionist:

Interpretation of his paintings:

The Old Guitarist

-a contorted white-haired man sits hunched over a guitar, consumed by the tones that emanate from what appears to be his nly possession.

-The eyes are sunken in the skeletal head, and the bones and tendons of his hungry from protrude showing the ordinariness of poverty.

-The monochromatic blue palette creates an unrelenting somber mood. Tones of blue eerily echo the ghostlike features of the guitarist.

Les Demoiselles d’Avignon

-This startling, innovative work, still primarily pink in tone, depicts five women from Barcelona’s red-light district. They line up for selection by a possible suitor, who stands, as it were in the positing of spectator.

Analytic Cubism

-Instead of presenting an object from a single view, assumed to have been the complete view, the Cubists, like Cezanne, realized that our visual comprehension of objects consists of many views that we perceive almost at once.

-To Cubists, the most basic reality involved consolidating optical vignettes instead of reproducing fixed images with photographic accuracy.

Famous painters:

Georges Braque

-The early work of Georges Braque (1882-1963) graduated from Impressionism to Fauvism to more structural composition based on Cezanne.

-He met Picasso in 1907, and from then until 1914 the artists worked together toward the same artistic goal.

His famous painting:

The Portuguese

-There are few concrete solved in the background: dropped eyelids, a mustache, the circular opening of a stringed instrument. The multifaceted, abstracted form appears to shift position in before our eyes, stimulating the time lapse that would occur in the visual assimilation of multiple views.

Synthetic Cubism

-Picasso and Braque did not stop with inclusion of precisely printed words and numbers in their works. They began to add characters cut from newspapers and magazines, other ieces of paper, and found objects such as labels from wine bottles, calling cards, theater tickets even swatches of wallpaper and bits of rope.

-These items were pasted directly onto the canvas in a technique Picasso and Braque called papier colle also known as collage.

-The use of collage marked the beginning of the synthetic phase of cubism.

Famous synthetic paintings:

The Bottle of Suze

-In this work, newspaper clippings and opaque pieces of paper function as the shifting planes that hover around the aperitif label and define the bottle and glass. These planes are held together by a sparse linear structure much in the manner of analytic Cubist works.

-In contrast to Analytic Cubism, however, the emphasis is on the form of the object and on constructing instead of disintegrating that form. Color reentered the compositions, and much emphasis was places on texture, design and movement.

Cubist Sculpture

-Cubism was born as a two-dimensional art form.

-Cubist artists attempted to render on canvas the manifold aspects of their subjects as if they were walking around three-dimensional forms and recording every angle.

-Because cubist artists were trying to communicate all the visual information available about a particular form, they were handicapped, so to speak, by the two-dimensional surface.

-The medium of sculpture was more natural to cubism, because a viewer could actually walk around a figure to assimilate its many facets.

Famous painters:

Alexander Archipenko

-One of the innovations in Cubist sculpture was the three-dimensional interpenetration of Cubist planes, as implied in Lipchitz’s relief.

His famous painting:

Walking woman

-What is new here are the open spaces of the torso and head, now as much a part of the whole as the solid forms of composition. Although there is a good degree of abstract simplification in the figure, the overall impression of the forms prompts recognition of the humanity and the subject.

Futurism

-Futurism was introduced angrily by Marinetti in 1909 manifesto that called for an art of “violence, energy, and boldness” free from the “tyranny of harmony and good taste.” In theory, Futurist painting and sculpture were to glorify the life of today, “unceasingly and violently transformed by victorious science.” In practice, many of the works owed much to Cubism.

Famous painter:

Umberto Boccioni

-Boccioni, whose forte was sculpture, sought to convey the elusive surging energy that blurs an image in motion, leaving but an echo of its passage. Although it retains an overall figural sillhouette, the sculpture is devoid of any representational details.

-An oft-repeated work in Futurist credo is dynamism, defined as the theory that force or energy is the basic principle of all phenomena.

Fantasy and Dada

-Fantastic Art has traditionally been largely confined to painting and illustration, but since the 1970s has increasingly been found also in photography.

-Fantastic art explores fantasy, space fantasy (a sub-genre of sci-fi that incorporates subjects of alien mythology and/or alien religion), imagination, the dream state, the grotesque, visions and the uncanny, as well as the so-called Goth art.

-Being an inheritant genre of Victorian Symbolism, the modern Fantastic Art often shares its choice of themes such as mythology, occultism and mysticism, or lore and folklore, and generally seeks to depict the inner life (nature of soul and spirit).

Famous painters:

Paul Klee

-was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered both a Swiss and a Germanpainter. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism.

Famous painting:

The twittering machine

-Offers a humorous contraption composed of four fantastic birds balanced precariously on a wire attached to a crank. The viewer who is motivated to piece together the possible function of this apparatus might assume that tuning the crank would result in the twittering suggested by the title.

Giorgio de Chirico

- Giorgio de Chirico 

-was a pre-Surrealist and then Surrealist Greek-Italian painter born in Volos, Greece, to a Genovese mother and a Sicilian father.

^- He founded the scuola metafisica art movement. His surname is traditionally written De Chirico (capitalized De) when it stands alone.

-His subjects are often derived from dreams, in which ordinary objects are found in extraordinary situations.

His famous painting:

-A young girl, seemingly unaware of the dark tall shadow beyond her, skips at play with stick and hoop. What is she doing there? Wh is she alone? Who is the source of the shadow? Is it a male or a female? What is the spear-like form by the figure? We quickly perceive doom.

Dada

-The name Dada was supposedly chosen at random from a dictionary. The non-sense term describes nonsense art-art that is meaningless, absurd, and un-predictable. Although it is questionable whether this catchy label was in truth derived at random, the element of chance was indeed important to the Dada art form.

-Yet however meaningless of unpredictable the poets and artists intended their products to be, in reality, they were not. In an era dominated by the doctrine of psychoanalysis, the choice of even nonsensical words spoke something at least of the poet.

Famous painters:

Marcel Duchamp 

-was a French artist whose work is most often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements.

- A playful man, Duchamp challenged conventional thought about artistic processes and art marketing, not so much by writing, but through subversive actions such as dubbing a urinal art and naming it Fountain.

Famous paintings:

Fountain

- The most prominent example of Duchamp’s association with Dada was his submission of Fountain, a urinal, to the Society of Independent Artists exhibit in 1917. Artworks in the Independent Artists shows were not selected by jury, and all pieces submitted were displayed. However, the show committee insisted that Fountain was not art, and rejected it from the show. This caused an uproar amongst the Dadaists, and led Duchamp to resign from the board of the Independent Artists.

-Along with Henri-Pierre Roché and Beatrice Wood, Duchamp published a Dada magazine in New York, entitled The Blind Man, which included art, literature, humor and commentary.

-When he returned to Paris after World War I, Duchamp did not participate in the Dada group.

Surrealism

-Began as a literary movement after World Wat I. Both literary groups engaged in automatic writing, in which the mind was to be purged of purposeful thought and a series of free associations were then to be expressed with the pen.

-Words were not meant to denote their literal meanings but to symbolize the often seething contents of the unconscious mind.

-Eventually, the Surrealist writers broke from the Dadaists, believing that the earlier movement was becoming too academic.

Famous painters:

Salvador Dali

-One of the few “household names” in the history of art belongs to a leading Surrealist figure, the Spaniard Salvador Dali.

Famous painting:

The persistence of memory

-In a barren landscape of incongruous forms, time, as all else, has expired. A watch is left crawling with insects like scavengers over carrion; three other watches hang limp and useless over a rectangular block, a dead tree, and a lifeless, amorphous creature that bears a curious resemblance to Dali.

-A haunting sense of reality threatens the line between perception and imagination.

-Reality beyond reality.

Joan Miro

-Joan Miro sought to eliminate all thought from their minds and then trace their brushes the surface of their canvas.

Famous painting

Painting

-In this work, Miro applied Breton’s principles of psychic automatism in an aesthetically pleasing, decorative manner.

Architecture

The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a ‘total’ work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together.

Yes, self-harm. 

One of the effects of depression and anxiety. Most of the people who are harming themselves like cutting their wrists or any other part of their body comes from the youth of today. 

Self-harm (SH) or deliberate self-harm (DSH) includes self-injury (SI) and self-poisoning and is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue most often done without suicidal intentions. [from wikipedia]

It’ a mental disorder. 

Many of us thinks that people who do self-harm are insane and needs attention.

But no, sometimes, it’s a sickness. An event that you can’t control unless someone will help or guide you.

Why do people harm themselves?

Maybe because that person experienced bullying when he/she was still a child.

Maybe because of family issues. 

Maybe because he/she wants to forget a bad experience from his/her childhood.

There are many reason why a person harms his/herself. 

Because I love reading books, I read lots of issues where the protagonist always harm his/herself. Slowly, I understood what they were feeling from the inside.

People can’t understand them. 

The closest people from their lives turn their back away from them.

Sometimes, their relatives abuses them. Raping, torturing and many more.

And the only thing they can think of to forget it is to cut their wrist. 

Why? According to thesite.org, the purpose of self-harm:

• When the level of emotional pressure becomes too high it acts as a safety valve - a way of relieving the tension;
• Cutting makes the blood take away the bad feelings;
• Pain can make you feel more alive when feeling numb or dead inside;
• Punishing oneself in response to feelings of shame or guilt;
• When it’s too difficult to talk to anyone, it’s a form of communication about unhappiness and a way of acknowledging the need for help;
• Self-harm gives a sense of control that’s missing elsewhere in life.

Sometimes, there are people who needs care and understanding. Be sensitive to what others feel. Even if they are not your friend, just a mere classmate or schoolmate.

Small gesture of kindness can be a big deal to someone who thinks that everyone hates them. Help them and who knows, maybe you can save a life.

All of us obviously wants to travel around the world to visit the different landmarks and places of the famous countries.

But what are the most beautiful places you can visit before you die?

Personally, one of my dreams is to travel around the world…or maybe just visit the countries I like the most [Japan, Paris, Korea, Egypt, Antarctica and many more]

Base from the snackday.com, here are the 10 places you want to visit before you die:

Our favorite hang-out, MCDONALD’S.

Yes, I admit they are one of my favorite fast food restaurant. Me and my friends often go there to eat almost everyday.

But as much as we enjoy eating their yummy foods, there are disadvantages of eating their products.

When I was still in highschool, one of my classmates tackled about the disadvantages of eating McDonalds or any other fast food product. At first, I was like “Damn! All those thing I eat makes my life cut into 4-5 years!”

According to e-how.com, here are the three disadvantages of eating McDonalds:

Sodium

• Some sodium is necessary as part of a balanced diet because it helps transmit nerve impulses and helps maintain the correct balance of fluids in the body. According to the Mayo Clinic, the recommended amount of sodium varies between 1,500 and 2,300 mg per day. However, many items on McDonald’s menu are high in sodium — some with more than 1,000 mg such as the Double Cheeseburger and Big Mac, according to nutritional facts from McDonald’s. Excess sodium can result in fluid retention, which causes high blood pressure and kidney disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Fat

• Many menu items from McDonald’s are high in fat which, when combined with a sedentary lifestyle, can result in obesity and damage to the liver. The recommended amount of fat is 65 g per day based on a 2,000 calorie diet, according to the website Netrition. Many popular McDonald’s items contain more than half of the daily recommended amount, such as the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese (42 g) and the Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips (40 g). According to MedScape, a study conducted in Sweden in 2008 showed that eating a diet rich in fast food can increase the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase, which can be a sign of liver damage.

Sugar

• The American Heart Association recommends women limit themselves to 20 g of sugar per day and men to 36 g of sugar per day. This is because sugar offers little nutritional benefit while adding extra calories. Many dessert items from McDonald’s contain high amounts of sugar, such as the 12 oz. Vanilla Triple Thick Shake (54 g of sugar) and the small M&M McFlurry (97 g of sugar). According to WebMD, researchers have found that high-sugar diets increase triglycerides and lower HDL (good) cholesterol. This can lead to increased health risks such as hearth disease.

  It may be delicious, but think about the other side effect of eating too much fast food products.

This news was a great shock for me.

I have a great respect for bishops and priest.

But somehow, my trust for them wavered because of this news.

According to Yahoo! News.:

One of the bishops embroiled in the controversial disbursement of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) funds to some Roman Catholic Church clergy actually has millions invested in one of the country’s biggest conglomerates, data from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) show.

According to PSE records obtained by GMA News Research, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Tuguegarao owns more than 24,000 common shares of Ayala Corp., currently valued at P8 million.

With those holdings, retired Tuguegarao Archbishop Diosdado Talamayan held about 0.0049 percent of the total shares of the company which ranked him 73rd in the Top 100 stockholders list of Ayala Corp.

In 2009, Talamayan asked then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for funds to finish a retirement home in conjunction with his 25th anniversary as a bishop.

It was earlier reported that some P200,000 from PCSO’s public relations fund were funneled into the “operational expenses” of a clergy retirement home in Solana town, Cagayan as requested by the bishop for the celebrations marking his 25th year as a Catholic bishop.

The money was disbursed despite the fact that organizers, in a letter to then PCSO director Ma. Fatima Valdes, only requested for P2,500 for the tickets to a fundraising dinner the diocese organized.

According to documents obtained by GMA News, Talamayan personally wrote former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo a letter in 2009 requesting funds for the retirement home’s “finishing touches.”

“Our retirement home, which you helped construct, needs only the finishing touches. And I pray that God give me the graces to adjust smoothly to my new phase in my life,” the archbishop said in his letter to Arroyo.

In a resolution dated November 2009, the PCSO board decided to grant a request from the Office of the President specifying Talamayan’s wishes, but the exact amount of the grant was not disclosed. The board said the money will be charged to the PCSO Charity Fund which, according to its Charter, could only be used for “medical assistance and services and/or charities of national character.”

Dioceses as stockholders

The Archdiocese of Tuguegarao is just one of the groups connected with the Roman Catholic Church that hold stocks in companies whose shares are traded on the PSE.

PSE data show that several archdioceses and church groups own stocks in Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Philippine Airlines, San Miguel Corp. and PHILEX Mining Corp.

In BPI, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila ranks fourth in the bank’s list of Top 100 stockholders with more than 200 million shares currently valued at P17.3 billion, and represents 6.266 percent of the bank’s outstanding shares.

In an interview with GMA News’ Sandra Aguinaldo on “State of the Nation,” retired Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz said there’s nothing wrong with the Church’s investments in local firms, since its wealth was merely inherited from Spanish friars over a century ago and was invested in strong companies to nurture it.

But in the view of columnist and staunch Reproductive Health Bill advocate Elizabeth Angsioco, these bishops had effectively robbed the poor of the financial help from PCSO when they, in fact, had the wealth to fund their needs.

“Nagulantang ako doon sa laki ng pera na nasa stocks. Bukod pa do’n, yung panghihingi nila doon sa PCSO, ang kinumpetensya nila, ay yung mga mahihirap na mamamayan,” Angsioco said in the same interview.

The P200,000 that went to Talamayan is ten times the P20,000-cap on PCSO’s Individual Medical Assistance Program.

Investments in mining

While Cruz condoned the Church’s stock investments, he criticized the bishops’ holding of shares in mining firms.

“Ngayon nga ang mining nasalaula. [Ito] ay nakakasira ng environment. Palagay ko panahon na [para] kunin [ng mga obispo] nila ‘yun, ilabas na nila at i-invest nila sa iba naman,” Cruz said.

According to PSE data, the Archbishop of Manila, the Archbishop of Zamboanga and two accounts of the Religious of the Virgin Mary have stocks in PHILEX. Together, the 8.5 million shares of the group in the mining firm amount to more than P200 million.

Ironically, several bishops in the past were some of the staunchest oppositionists to the mining industry, especially in Eastern Visayas. In 2010, at least six bishops led the charge against mining permits issued in Samar and Leyte, citing the potential harm the activity could inflict on the environment.

The bishops include Palo Archbishop Jose Palma, Catarman Bishop Emmanuel Trance, Borongan Bishop Crispin Varquez, Maasin Bishop Precioso Cantillas, Calbayog Bishop Isabelo Abarquez, and Naval Bishop Felomino Bactol.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines even carried thebishops’ statement on its own website.

“As shepherds of our flock, it is our collective sentiments that the continuing drive for development of the Eastern Visayas region anchored on mining as well as other extractive economic pursuits, only reinforce the irreversible trend of permanently damaging nature’s endowments,” according to the CBCP.

“As a consequence, the many lines of opportunities upon which our people can draw their life sustenance will definitely be threatened immensely,” the CBCP added. — ELR/VS, GMA News

The best of MMA.

I’m happy that I am a part of the MMA family. They let me feel that I have a family outside school. I’m an only child and because of that, I enjoyed most of my time with my friends. I treat them as my sisters and brothers. 

Though sometimes we have a little arguments inside our classroom, at the end of the day, we never fail to recognize our faults and settle our issues.

I’m very blessed to have classmates such as you guys. There are still two years for us to spend our time together.

Thank you guys.

^^ 

To be honest, I don’t actually care about political issues such as this.

But based on what I read on President Aquino’s SONA, it seems that he’s been telling us the good things that had happened while he’s being the president which is basically normal. He mentioned that the hunger rate of the Philippines already lowered compared to last year.

For me, I don’t really feel the impact of him being the president of the Philippines. As I have said before, politics doesn’t interest me and to tell the truth, I don’t really like politicians who are hungry for power and money. 

While searching for the SONA of PNoy, I noticed that there are many people who were amazed by his speech. I just hope that all of his talk are really true [because I really don’t watch the news] and I hope for the better tomorrow of the Philippines.

The Impact of Advertising Business

Business for most of the people means money.

But what does business means?

According to wikipedia, a business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization engaged in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, in which most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A business owned by multiple individuals may be referred to as a company, although that term also has a more precise meaning.

Their way of living.

Business forms a large impact on the everyday lives of the people. It comes in many different ways such as building a company, creating a small business such as restaurants, computer shops or some use it for advertisement.

Advertising is one of the many businesses the people are doing to earn a living. Not only that it provides good amount of money, it is also challenging and fun. You have to think out of the box. How to please a certain apeople or a group of crowd. Without creativity, your advertising business might crumble down.

Creativity, passion, patience are the ingredients to build a successful advertising business. For me, it is one of the easiest way to earn a living because it applies my talent, what I had learned and experience.

Definition from wikipedia and picture from deviantart.

Nowadays, most of the businesses all over the world depends on technology. As we depend on it, we made use of information system which helps us in our everyday lives.

Because of this, businesses from all over the world gains access on different kinds of possibilities to gain profits from using information system. Businesses such as this uses a work system in which humans or machines perform work using resources to produce specific products for the customers.

We have to admit that the constant change in technology makes our life more convenient. In using ways such as this, we are open to more possibilities of discovering more on how to make our business much steady.

I don’t really care if the groupings changed. But I was hoping to let people decide on who you want to be your groupmate. Not because I want to be with my friends but because we have different schedule. I’m an irregular student and sometimes, I don’t have the exact schedule as my other classmates. I know I have to adjust but sometimes, irregular students like us are being set aside. It’s always us to adjust. I don’t mind but somehow, it’s been bothering me. I don’t mind waiting, but I’m thinking that I can do more things than to wait for my classmates to finish their classes. We have the same schedules as my two other classmates and I think it’s more convinient for us to work together. 

But I admit we have to discover more things on others. Yes, I also want to have other groupmates. But when I do, sometimes, I can’t comprehend on them. I’m the type of person who always have something to suggest, but sometimes, I just want to shut up and let other people take over. I have this complex that when I see that my classmate is much smarter than me or something like that, I’ll just let him/her take over because I feel that whatever I suggest, it’s meaningless. I admit that Yanyan is a great member, but I can feel that I don’t help much because of this complex of mine. I’m sorry groupmate ^^’. But I always take the effort and time to show that I care for our grade even if I’m not really feeling well. 

And yes, I also help the other groups with their projects. Maybe because she or he is my friend, but I feel that helping others won’t let you do any harm. I just want to stretch my capabilities on others to help them in time of their need. I don’t need paybacks, I just want to do a good deed.

I always believe in always do a good deed once a day. ^^

I hope that I can learn more on the new groupings. Thanks for my groupmates, Xavier and Yanyan. Good luck to us. :)

I didn’t managed to attend the seminar because my mom told me not to because it was raining hard outside. T.T

I don’t really like attending seminars because I feel bored and sleepy whenever I listen to the speaker, but when I attended the seminar last week, it was really entertaining. At first, I was reluctant to go but thinking that my money will be wasted if I didn’t, we decided to go. 

The speaker thought us a lot of things in a not boring way. She discussed to us the difference of corporate image and corporate identity. As for me, I learned that there are many types of Public Relation programs also known as PR, suc as, community involvement, sponsorship, environmental projects, participation in a quality improvement schemes and good practice in industrial relations. She explained to us clearly and briefly the difference among them and how they will benefit the company.

Doing such things, the company will have a good corporate image making the people to trust them. They raise the publics consciousness about a product, service or induvidual issue. In short PR is the management of a company’s image that helps the public understand the company and it’s product.

All in all, the seminar was fun and you will learn a lot by attending them. I was glad that I came and meet Ms. Vanessa and the guy who was with her. I hope we can attend more seminar like that so that we can learn a lot from them. 

I didn’t managed to attend the seminar because my family went out together. My mom didn’t allowed me to go.

Sorry :(

Also known as College of Arts and Sciences.

Honestly, it’s really fun being in the CAS family. Though I’m not close with them, I can tell how much my classmates are having fun with them. I also hope I can become close to them. The professors and the staffs are also nice and fun to be with. They uphold the true essence of being in this college.

I think CAS is one of the colleges that is really interesting and fun. ^^

Of course, it’s easy for me interviewing La Casa Arte because they were the one who covered my debut. Kuya Erre and kuya Jeff are still the same, bubbly, energetic and fun. Because I spent a lot of time with them, I became close to the two of them. They always give me advices on how to become a decent woman. Because I’m a multimedia art student, they always persuade me to buy an SLR and study under them. Of course I want to, but we don’t have the budget to buy one. :)

Anyway, we interviewed them in one of our free days. It was a long time ago when I told them I’m going to interview them and fortunately, they agreed. They taught us a lot of things. You have to manage your business slowly but surely. You have to have a goal, perseverance and patience. With these essentials, you can definitely build up a successful business like they have.

I’m planning of doing a part-time job with them in this semestral break and I hope they accept me. ^^

Lyceum for me is my second home. I spent most of my time there. Although I miss my other school, I can say that I became attached to Lyceum. It’s a univeristy that I can be proud of. Though sometimes there are annoying and bad times, it’s still fun.

I only have few friends here but I know that in the coming years, I can still gain them. :)

I hope I will not transfer again to another school this time. I’m praying that I can continue studying at Lyceum.
