A skeleton with a head that resembles a crown is shown, along with additional body parts protruding from the skull man's eyes and blood gushing from its eyeballs. Clouds, a pitch-black floor with crimson holes, and a floating castle that appeared to be coming from the skull man's thoughts were all displayed in the background.

What I can make out of this image, the element of art is distorted because of how significantly the skeleton's design has been changed by the addition of more skeletal parts emerging from the skull, the addition of humans rising from the base of the skeleton, and the transformation of the head into a crown shape. By bringing the skeleton closer to the artwork, the artist emphasizes that it is the main subject of the piece. Also, the amount of information present in the piece is so overwhelming that it hurts the eyes to take it all in.

I believe the image is attempting to depict a hellish place where the skeleton man wearing the crown rules. While he rots in his current location, the ruler there is fantasizing about a place where he would have a better kingdom and life. A ruler who greatly regrets his eternal damnation and still hopes for a better place in his situation.

Overall, I find the artwork to be quite impressive. It shows complex details that skillfully convey a powerful theme of finding hope even in the darkest of circumstances. The design of the skeleton ruler adds a touch of eerie interest, while the background, despite its absence of color, effectively conveys a sense of both edginess and hopelessness. It's evident that Bobby poured a great deal of dedication and passion into this art recreation, which shines through in the final piece. While it may be somewhat challenging to view due to its intense emotional impact, the quality and effort invested in this artwork are undeniable. I would confidently rate it 20 out of 20.

In the image, you can see a cross-like structure featuring buttons secured with rubber bands at both ends to prevent it from coming apart. Additionally, the cross is on a piece of cardboard, with a small design or pattern positioned beneath it.
From the photo, it's evident that the composition is thoughtfully balanced. Each side of the image appears to carry an equal visual weight, contributing to a harmonious and symmetrical arrangement.
While the 3D concept may appear simple at first glance, Nicollo's attention to detail shines through. The addition of little elements like buttons and rubber bands elevates the piece, conveying  details of complexity that leaves a lasting impression. This attention to detail not only enhances the visual appeal but also invites a thought-provoking interpretation on the theme of resilience. Overall, I'd rate Nicollo's artwork a 20.

I see an object resembling Mickey Mouse. It is color yellow and made up of recycled materials. By the looks of it, I am assuming that this Mickey Mouse-like object is the subject.

If I were to analyze this artwork I would analyze it from the perspective focusing on the medium how the artwork was made and its color. As seen in the picture, it is made out of recycled materials, so I would consider this artwork to be bricolage. Another notable feature of this artwork is the dominance of the color yellow which may symbolize something once interpreted.

The way I interpret this artwork is something positive. Because the name of the artwork is "ANYTHING IS PUSSYBLE" a wordplay on the word "possible", in short, the artist wants to convey that anything is possible. He successfully did so by making an astonishing artwork using recycled materials or what we would consider everyday garbage. Another reason why it gives a positive mood is because of the color palate used, which is the dominance of the color yellow.

I can certainly say that the artist was able to make an effective and valuable artwork. Not only did he utilize objects that are often neglected, but he was also able to make it into a beautiful artwork without undermining the fact that it is from trash. The artist was also able to convey to me a meaningful and positive message with such a simple artwork. That is why I will give it a genuine 20/20.

In the image, you'll find two figures in colors of blue, in a praising pose beneath a vivid blue moon. Also, one of the figures appears to be seated on a boat. Noteworthy details include the vast expanse of the ocean, gentle snowfall, and the intriguing blue hue of the sand, suggesting that the scene is set during the nighttime.

From the image, it's evident that the artwork employs a simplistic style in the arrangement of its figures, small elements such as the boat, and the overall background. However, the use of colors is where its true magic lies. The chosen colors fill each figure with a sense of depth and character, transforming what might be a simple composition into something mesmerizing. This contrast of simplicity and color-driven depth is a hallmark of the artwork's charm.

This image seems to tell a story of an intriguing encounter. The blue figure on the boat appears to have unintentionally stumbled upon the two figures reverently praising the magnificent blue moon. Now, stranded in this mysterious setting, they find themselves observing the nightly rituals of these enigmatic characters. The image captures a moment frozen in time, evoking a sense of curiosity about the unfolding narrative and the connections between the characters under the captivating glow of the moon.

I am thoroughly impressed with this 3D artwork. Despite its seemingly simple structure, the artist's mastery in coloring techniques shines through, especially in the subtle shade such as the changing background hues, indicating the passage of time, and the coloring of the ocean, creating an illusion of movement. The artwork's mysterious quality makes the viewer to go into this thrill, encouraging many interpretations. This amazing piece not only encourages imagination but also showcases the artist's skill in evoking sensation and curiosity. Without a doubt, I would rate Marco's work a perfect 20 out of 20.

In the painting, I can see what appears to be three colorful houses surrounded by plants. By looks of the surrounding area it looks flooded and destroyed. I can also see a person or a child on the roof playing with a kite. Lastly I can see what appears to be fish in the water.

My analysis of this artwork is that the use of vibrant colors made the art work appealing to the eye. The way the artist painted the plants made it feel like they are all different species of plants. The artist painted the water like it was slowly moving away indicating that the storm was over which made the painting interesting. The artist used a bit of lightness and darkness to highlight on what happened in the painting.

I can say that this artwork is a representation of how hard it is to survive a typhoon. The houses and the scattered plants and debris in the area indicate that a strong typhoon occurred in the area. This typhoon also flooded and destroyed the area. I can see a person on top of the roof indicating that the flood was roof level that made people go up to their roof's.

I can say that this art work is a successful representation of strong storms affecting communities. The use of colorful houses and scattered plants made the painting feel like it actually happened. The person on the roof playing with the kite made the painting sad and happy at the same time. It's like indicating even if all hope is lost we can still find a way to adapt and overcome. I would rate this art work a 20/20

In this recreation, there is a kid hugging a very large tree. Not much detail in this art recreation so I can't say much.

Its technique is distortion and is supposed to have an excellent composition of color, where colors are both distinct and indefinite. The emphasis is clear, the boy is the subject. It lacks a background.

This artwork is part of a series about Chisco. Chisco has a father and a dead mother. He's hugging that tree as if it were the last thing he'd do in his life. The tree probably means a lot to him, something that connects with Chisco's mother.

I think the biggest strength of this recreation is the way the pencil smoothens and blends itself into the artwork. It creates semi-appropriate shadows, but the shorts of Chisco have ambiguous lighting. Is his shorts facing the front, or facing the back? The light is scattered from different places. It lacks depth due to this mistake. I believe one pencil and one sheet of paper were made with this recreation. In terms of strategy, props to the artist. In terms of everything else, I believe this could be better. I rate this recreation a 10/20

Near the sandy coast of a body of water, there is a tree situated on a patch of grass. The leaves are bushy and vibrant and full of orange fruit. A tire swing wraps around the unnatural curve of its trunk. The tire swing casts a shadow, but the tree itself does not. In the distance there are mountain or hill-like shapes, and the impression of even bigger mountains looming behind them. In the background, there is a night sky, with the crescent moon peeking over a giant fluffy white cloud-like shape that fills and covers most of the dark sky. There is a barely visible thin white structure below the mountains at the bottom right corner. Fumes or smoke come out from the top of these structures.

The foreground is filled with warm, natural colors. A dark earthy brown is used for the shadows, and an almost yellow off-white is used for the lighting that hits the greens of the grass and the tree leaves. Tying the warm hues together is the use of subtle gold highlights, more notably used on the tree, which is the centerpiece of this painting. Contrast to these warmer tones, the water is a cool blue color, mixing into a murky, oil or tar-like black the further the water flows away from the natural greenery of the foreground. The mountains and the night sky are a similar mix of black and blue. The brushstrokes around the greenery look softer and fuzzier, while the dark background is painted more starkly and firmly.

The name of an artpiece is part of the artpiece itself. "Gaia" is a well-known mythological figure in the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses. Gaia is a representation of the Earth, and one of her epithets is "Mother of All". Going back to her characterization as a representation of Earth, the womanly shape the tree takes the form of in this piece makes sense. Additionally, her epithet as "Mother of All" is also eluded to in the swell of the tree bark's 'belly'. From her hair sprouts natural life - leaves and fruit. Yet the tree has no shadow, as if it is not there; or maybe it is better to say that it will SOON not be there. In the background, we see the mark of humanity's industrialization. A factory so small that it may seem insignificant, but the giant cloud in the background may not just be a cloud, but a byproduct of the coal we burn to make fuel.

This work is a statement on the loss, or eventual loss of our environment as commercialism, industrialization and human advancements continue to burn or affect surrounding natural life. It covers our skies and muddles our waters. One day, our patches of grass and beautiful trees will disappear without even leaving a shadow, and we will mourn in their absence. This is a beautiful work in both composition and meaning . 20/20.

In this painting, I can see a beautiful looking curved tree. I can also see a tired hanging by the tree. Lastly the scenic area surrounding the tree such as nearby beach, hills, and grass in the area. I can also see its not just an ordinary tree, it looks like a fruit tree or a orange tree.

My analysis for the painting is that the painting's brush strokes and how the painting was painted made the painting look realistic. The way the artist painted the leaves and grass made it look and feel alive to the point it looks like its moving. The use of colors in this painting made the painting look very appealing and structured. The artist used shadows and brightness to highlight the main subject with is the tree.

My interpretation of this art work is it gives of the simple times in life. In our lives we have that moment where we just savor that particular moment and that painting gives of that vibe. The painting feels like a joyful afternoon in the beach were you can just enjoy the day. I believe the artist is trying to say that we should enjoy those moments with nature and having those simple times in life.

Overall the painting for me is successful because of the vibe it is giving off. The painting's harmony and balance made the painting truly remarkable. I would like to commend the artist for the vibrant use of colors and techniques in making the painting. If I were to see this painting for the first time and not knowing anything about it, I would rate it 20/20.

There is a road surrounded by buildings. To the far right is a building with 4 windows, and one window by the front with a curtain. There are steps leading up to the door next to it. From across that building, there are people walking on the sidewalk. The vague silhouettes of a man, a woman, and a little girl; a family. Walking the opposite direction figures representing people, perhaps a couple, walking their dog. The family is heading towards a corner with a streetlight/streetlamp. The sidewalk where all the human-like figures are walking on are separated by a long fence. Beyond it is are giant, whisp-like swirls. They are bush-like and reach to barely cover the bottom of a building's window. There is a long building with a door and several windows with planters beneath the windows on the bottom floor. This could be a residential building. Over the top is a spiky piece of dark architecture, connected to more building-like shapes. The cone-roofed building has a cross affixed upon the top, suggesting that it is a church.

This is a pencil sketch, but the pencil is very versatile. There is a range of shades from the monochrome palette in this piece, and the lead is used to make suggestions of shadow upon the road, and used to create texture on the buildings. The lineart is clean and easily separates different elements from each other.

This is a simple landscape pencil sketch of a place in Salford, a city in England. It captures the mundane and calm parts of living in a city for a lot of people - walking with your loved ones, taking a stroll, going to the church - and these are perhaps the only times we are able to take a breath and enjoy life. It shows the peace of being able to walk at your own pace in your own little corner of the world. These are the tiny moments that should be treasured the most.

I think it is important to depict liminal, mundane parts of life as well. These immortalize, to me, the important parts of history - not the wars and the leaders and the governments, but the lives of the people who lived in that time, in that place. What were their daily lives like? What kind of architecture did they have? What were their neighborhoods like? Aside from that, this art piece has a certain quality of longing and nostalgia for me. A yearning for a calmer, slower pace. The nostalgia of not being busy and having all the time in the world to just walk around a part of town. To me, this art piece is a 20/20.

The subject is a pencil with an extended tip. There also seem to be clouds behind it as well as trees popping out. There also what appears to be a light blue sky as its background. There is also a man sitting on top of the pencil. This artwork masterfully uses a combination of layered papers, crayons, and pencils. The ripped papers being layered on top of each other gives off a cloudy background. The pencil also gives the big pencil texture and it's really nice. While the trees aren't very detailed, they still look good nonetheless. As for what this artwork means, in my opinion, it could mean an artist's block. The pencil can be an artist's tool which means that the man could be an artist. The way he is posed make it seem like he is thinking. Much like what an artist would when they have a block. The trees and sky are calming parts of nature so perhaps the man is thinking there to clear his head. Overall, I think this artwork is a 20/20. It uses many different materials masterfully and it tells an interesting message that many artists can relate to.

Bullet shells can be seen scattered over a plain white background. In addition to this, there are glass shards scattered along with the shells.

This contemporary light box art uses very simple yet meaningful elements and style of art. The artwork may lack variety but this creates harmony, balance, and aesthetic unity within the piece. The artwork incorporates a lot of blank space in its design which is represented by the plain white background. The bullet shells do not appear to have any particular rhythm or arrangement, because of this, the shell placement appears to be natural and creates the illusion that it was actually shot out of a real gun.

I interpret this artwork as a representation of the “War on drugs” that happened in the Philippines during the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte. The bullet shells and broken glass represent the violence that ensued in the Philippines. Violence that affected the lives of innocent people, not just criminals. It also represents the increasing amount of extra judicial killings, as well as the slaughter of politicians, lawyers, and journalists during the time. It is a silent protest for the injustice and murders that the government allowed and encouraged.

The artwork is very simple yet straightforward. It manages to deliver a very deep message using simple and little amounts of elements. The light box is also very creative as it uses actual bullet shells and not just paint. Overall, this artwork is the embodiment of less is more. It may have less elements to see, but it has a much deeper meaning behind it. I give this piece a 20/20.

The artwork looks like a yellow cat standing up. It is also made out of many recycled materials like papers and an old bottle. The artist was able to creatively make this cat by using a bottle for its body and papers for its other body parts. This artwork being 3D allows it to be viewed from multiple angles which is interesting because it means you get to see the full artwork. I also think that the use of paper for its body parts gives it a really nice and homey feel to it. I think this artwork is supposed to mean that anything is possible. In this piece, the cat is standing up which is something cats don't usually do so I think that's supposed to show that anything is possible. The color yellow is also associated with positive things so perhaps it is also a positive feeling that the cat is feeling and maybe the color is also to symbolize success. I give this artwork a 20/20. It uses the materials well and the message is good.

Simple Pleasures Under the tree by Elmer Borlongan - Rehmat Sidhu

# data[].attributes.body
This painting used the technique and style, realism. In this artwork, the tree with the swing is very evident and is obviously the main focus. A landscape of mountains and the sea provides a good background for the painting. Different shades of green and blue are the color palette of this artwork.

There is harmony in this painting, even though unbalanced. Movements and patterns are present through the waves and the grass, background contains white spaces, and the tree is emphasized in the artwork.

In my understanding, “Gaia” displays about the Earth. This painting emphasizes the beauty of our planet, and highlights the importance of environmental preservation and our interconnectedness with nature.

Observing with how the painting is done, I can assume that the artist (Kahill) has had experiences with art before. There is great detail in this artwork, colors are properly blended, and is very eye-catching. With all this, I could say that this artwork is a success and was able to deliver a deep message to me. This is a 20/20.

The artwork depicts somewhat of a cat that has been created from different types of used materials. For me, it is a very creative style of forming an artwork and the fact that it is a 3d model makes it more unique. The body is made up by some used lotion bottle and paper that is used for the other body features of the cat.

The framework seems to be focused on the color yellow which emphasizes it. The kind of yellow used in the cat is not your usual skin color for the cat although that what makes it interesting. The 3d model allows it to be view in different perspective of the naked eye making it have more context.

I think that this artwork is meant to bring attention in the issue of recyclable waste that affects our environmental beings especially the animals that we harm in the process. The cat shows the symbolization of how these materials would eventually fill up the body of the cat since it must have adapted by their new way of living. In other words, by the title "Anything is Pussyble" proves that if we don't make the right changes for the future our animals would have to live a dreadful life on the contamination of our everyday waste.

It seems like a simple subject but looking at it in a different point of view, could utilize the materials used in the making of the artwork. Environmental change, the suffering of animals, and the impact for the future are on the key ideas that brought me to compliment the artist's success and it's recreation. It would therefore be a 20/20.

When you first look at the artwork, you see a tree with a rope attached to it. The rope has an item stuck to the end which has a wheel-like shape and the tree’s branches have no leaves on them.

The artist uses realism as he perfectly portrays the image of a dead tree, since the branches have no leaves on them and the branches look very thin. The artist shows the rope perfectly and I believe it represents a swing used in ancient times.

I believe the message that the artist is trying to portray is that the tree is an abandoned place which nobody visits anymore. I think the author’s trying to tell us the difference between the generations from before and the generations from now, because the older generations would use the swing but now children are more focused on using gadgets and devices for entertainment. The artist is trying to tell us that the place that was once busy and a spot to hangout for children, is now abandoned and never visited. This shows the harsh  of today’s time, phones, laptops, and other gadgets have taken over and are slowly taking away from us the wonders of nature.

The artist got their message across successfully and it had a deep meaning which really touched my heart. The artist was able to show how the younger generation has changed with social media emerging and all the effects it’s had on us. The details were drawn perfectly too, and they couldn’t have been done better. I unhesitatingly give this artwork a perfect score of 20/20

The artwork has some very noticeable elements such as a boy eating what appears to be a mango or some kind of fruit under a tree while laying on the grass.

The colors here are very specific on the real-life features like the tree, grass, clothes, etc. It also seems to be windy as the grass gives a curve texture. There is some space given to emphasize the subject wherein he is eating.

The meaning behind this in my way of seeing it is the sense of nostalgia. Given the title "Simple pleasure under a tree", which may have unlocked a key memory of the artist on their past where they were also doing the same thing. Another is that the artist was trying to prove the enjoyment of having a simple life. Meaning that expensive things don't matter in their world, just the moments that we relapse on doing such as eating a fruit under a tree that you would always stay when you were a kid.

The artwork proved to be what my ideal kind of art style I have interest on and also the meaning behind it, nostalgia which i think is a likeable topic given my perspectives. I rate it a 20/20.

The first thing I see in this artwork is the boat sailing across the sea. The waves of the sea is shaped like a staircase that goes up once at a time. Furthermore, the top-hand side of the artwork is mostly white, while the bottom half is mostly blue with dashes of green. The sea appears to be rather calm and tame.

The style of the artwork seems to be distortion. A lot of light tones are used in the art, with few splashes of dark blue at some parts. The way it is painted gives off a very peaceful and calm feeling. All the lines are going to one direction, with signifies uniformity. The lines are very smooth, which gives off a smooth movement. The artwork also has visual balance, as the "weight" of the water is being counteracted by the "weight" of the boat and the sky. It also implies a smooth texture on the piece. Overall, the artwork achieves visual harmony, as all of the elements and principles mentioned work together to create a sense of wholeness.

I believe this artwork is trying to portray the quote "one step at a time". The calmness of the artwork represents the orderly manner of taking one step at a time.  With the wind guiding the boat towards each wave or "step". The smoothness of the lines and the water movement symbolizes a smooth flow of events. It is implying that one should not rush things, and taking one step at a time means you will be more calm, ordered, and relaxed. It is also implying that no matter how high you must climb, or how high it seems, you can just take it one step at a time to reach the top.

Overall, I think this artwork is commendable. It successfully delivers the message it is trying to convey. I see that the overall smoothness of the piece is one its strengths. Because of it's various components, and the overall integrity and meaning of the art, I rate it as 20/20.

From what I can see, I can see a figure of a yellow cat made from recycled materials like a bottle and pieces of paper. This artwork really showed their creativity by them using whatever they have laying around their house to create something so simple yet visually pleasing to look at. When I look at this artwork, and judging by its name I think that “anything is possible” if you put your heart into it because Fab was able to properly recreate the original artwork even if he was limited in terms of resources. So my final verdict on this work is that, I believe that Fab was able to recreate the artwork with some accuracy because, it still looks like the original artwork and it relays the message the same way. I’d give it a 20/20.

In the artwork, what I see is a cross that is color blue, the background that seems to be cardboard and rubber bands with different colors on each edge of the cross. The rubber band colors consist of red, green, and yellow. Lastly, in the cross, I can see small circles which adds shape variation to the cross.

Analyzing the artwork, I can see that the cross is symmetrically balanced in that both sides have equal designs, these being the rubber bands the and circles across the cross itself. There is also harmony in the design in that the colors of the rubber band contribute to bringing a more vibrant vibe of the blue cross due to them being bright colors such as yellow and red which clash with the darker colors such as green and blue. This clashing causes the piece to be colorful, and not be limited to only one color tone such as being dark tone only or bright tone only.  Lastly, theres a form of repetition in this artwork because of the repeated use of circles to design the body of the cross which gives the artwork a sense of rhythm.

My interpretation of the artwork is that it showcases our Faith and what our religion represents. The cross is a staple in the Catholic Church because this is where Jesus was crucified as well as doing this gesture when we are about start and end a prayer. Additionally, the cross being color blue represents the freedom our religion gives and teaches us how to use it. The rubber band color of yellow represents the happiness the religions brings about to the world and how its people should spread happiness to others. Green represents the life our Lord has given us as well as the hope he has instilled in us in order to live meaningful lives and to give hope to those around us. Lastly, red symbolizes the love and care God has for us and it also means that we have to show love and care to our neighbors as well. These traits, freedom, happiness, hope, and love, is what our religion is trying to represent and that we should follow Jesus's examples and showcase these traits to those in our community as well in order to have true faith in God.

Overall, I like the recreation of "MODERN FAITH." The color appeals to what I like which is a clash of dark and bright color tones to make something that is colorful and not limited to just bright or dark. The artwork is also easy to understand in that the cross is literally a representation of our Faith in God. The colors give symbolisms which can add to our understanding of the art. Lastly, theres circles across the body which makes the art have a rough textured feel to it, making it not dull to look at. That is why I'd rate the artwork a score of 20/20

You can see three characters, each standing out against a brown background, they are vividly and strikingly arranged in the artwork. also noticeable is a small colour palette, and hues of brown, black, and white are used to represent the figures in a forceful and expressive manner. The two men surrounding the central man appear to be his friends or companions, while the central figure appears to be a priest. The concentrated figure stands out with a stunning contrast of brown and white against the black backdrop, likely symbolising one of the killed Filipino priests. Although the other two people give the impression that they are supporting roles, their presence gives the story additional complexity and meaning. For me the image sheds light on the Gomburza trio's tale, which concerns the three Filipino priests Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora who died in the late 19th-century Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial control. I would give this piece a 20/20 a very powerful piece of art that illuminates a significant period in Philippine history and the sacrifices made by these slain priests. It stimulates the audience both visually and emotionally.

In this art form, the cross itself is the main focus. You can see cardboards coming together and forming a cross shape with rubber bands holding them together.

This is a balanced art form in a 3D structure. In this artwork, only one color is used (blue), shape formed is clearly shown, and it contains so much white space, emphasizing the main focus of the artwork, the cross. There is no movement yet there is good detail. Even with the artwork’s simplicity, unity of elements is still done.

The cross resembles the crucifixion of Christ. With the rubber bands holding it together to prevent it from breaking apart, I can see the art form displaying the message that “modern faith is not so strong.”

Seeing how this art form is made, I can say that the artist (Nicollo) paid attention to every detail and carefully recreated this artwork. With only two things used, a cardboard and a rubber band, he was already able to accomplish his goal. To convey a meaningful message through a simple artwork was a success. Nicole’s work is a 20/20.

Viewing the artwork, what I see is a cat made out of recycled materials such as plastic bottles, tape, paper, and many more. I also see the color yellow which is the color of the whole artwork. Lastly, there 's colors of white and black in the face of the cat.

Analyzing the artwork, uses the principle of variety to full effect. Theres different types of shapes such as squares, circles, the colors yellow, black, and white as well as textures such as a smooth body but rough looking arms, ears, and head. Additionally, the art is symmetrically balanced in that both sides have the same parts such as the  both sides have ears, arms, and legs. The color yellow impacts the art by making it very bright which immediately catches my attention, specifically the materials it was made from. Lastly, this art is a form of Bricolage because it is both small scale as well as made from recycled materials such as plastic bottles, paper, and cardboard.

Interpreting the piece, I think the focus is the use of recycled materials to make the cat. As the title suggests, anything is possible. This means that we can also use used materials, that are typically thrown away, to make and recreate subjects or objects. In this case, the artist showed this by creating a cat with recycled materials. He used materials such as plastic bottles to create the body and head, used paper to make the cat whispers, eyes, and ears, and finally, used cardboard to make the arms and legs. We do not need to always use expensive materials to create art. Art can be created with even materials such as recycled plastics and many more.

Overall, I like the concept the artist was going for in this artwork which was using recycled materials to make something. What I liked is that he proved that art can be anything and be made with anything. As the title says "Anything is Pussyble." I will give this artwork a score fo 20/20 because of this.

Looking at this, I can see multiple elements in this work. I can see birds, a watering pot, pink flamingos, trees and multiple colors. Despite there being different colors scattered around, they all somehow seem balanced to me. Likewise to the different items present, they all seem balanced to me and isn’t and eyesore to look at. I feel like what this work is trying to convey is that, when we sleep, our dreams may be random, but it can be a sign of what we are feeling in our life. Judging by the colors, I feel like this person is having a fun time in life because of all the different colors present. So to conclude this critique, I will say that they were able to recreate the work properly and I like the way they drew and colored everything, so I’d like to give this a 20/20.

Looking at the hand drawn drawing, I can see a woman. The woman looks like a beautiful woman. The woman looks like she's surrounded with stones or rocks.

My analysis for the painting is that the artist  didn't use colors but the artist used different shades to make the art look unique. The lightness and darkness of some areas made the drawing simple yet complicated. The shading of the art is balance and the artist gave it depth and texture. The simplicity of the art made it very appealing to the eye.

My interpretation of the art, the art is balance by light and darkness like good vs evil. The woman figure gives a sense of hope and not giving up. While the stones or the darkness represent evilness and deceit. The woman is alone which may also represent loneliness and sadness.

I see that the art work is unique and special. It not like most artworks but it looks great. Seeing this art work may be confusing but it works. I would rate this art 20/20

The artwork is a geometric shape, specifically a vertical rectangular prism. The background is blank, there is nothing to see. Inside the prism. there is a shaded circle. The prism is also split into two, one with a shaded portion and one that isn't shaded.

This piece is focused more on geometric shapes, and has the form of a rectangular prism. The lines are very defined, none of which are character lines, signifying its static nature. There is no movement present in the artwork. There is a lot of negative space in the piece. Everything is symmetrical, indicating balance in the art. There are no colors to the piece, only light and darkness.

The way this artwork is structured and based off its title, I believe that its trying to say that in the future, everything about the world would be calculated. All that would matter in the future are the objectiveness of everything, a world wherein math and science prevail. Forgetting subjective qualities, everything would be dull and plain, which is evident in the use of only geometric lines. Not only that, but it may also represent the trending style of minimalism, of how it would affect the future.

Although very simple, it still conveys a strong message within the art. I think that the use of only geometric shapes was a very creative way of conveying the message. It's purposely made to be dull and plain, almost boring, in order to properly depict the meaning behind it. Overall, it is a great piece, which can lead to many different interpretations, and so I rate it a 20/20

The most noticeable thing about this artwork is the pencil with what seems to be like a man on the tip of the pencil which seems to be a building. There's a sky and around the pencil trees are growing out of it. Aside from that all you can see are the clouds surrounding the pencil in the light blue sky. I think this piece properly represents the appearance that one of a pencil and building would have. Not just this but the way the clouds were drawn really compliment the drawing itself adding to the vibe of the entire artwork. I think from the title itself "tuktok" its the feeling of being at your peak and not knowing what to do after that you reached the very top, your looking down on all the other artworks or performances you have done and now you don't know what to do anymore the man sitting pondering about his choices or actions after reaching his peak. I would give this artwork overall a 20/20, the way the artwork itself was done was very complimenting to each others elements and also makes the viewer think and come up with their own interpretations for this piece.

From the recreatinal art, I can see that it is an abstract art. Many elements can be seen and interpreted, such as the blue birds at the very top, one pecking a fruit, while anothe is holding a watering can up to a small forest of color. The forest itself, is very bold and bright. Colors such as green, blue, red, orange and pink are seen on the painting. And those colors can have different meanings as well.

On the mountains, there is a contrast between light blue, green-like tones, dark green and brown. There is also quite some negative space in the background, being left only white. There is not much value in the art, light colors are mostly used and there is no shading. However there are lines that border the shapes, creating a bit of texture and perhaps depth.

From the title itself, I think it conveys the creativeness of our dreams while we sleep. The different colors can perhaps interpret what we can see or feel during these dreams, sadness, anger, and so on.  But it also looks like a children's dream, somewhat very dreamy and colorful.

Overall, I like the art. I like the colors and different shapes. I like the palette used in the art. I think it is unique and interesting. 20/20.

Art Critique on "Simple Pleasures Under the tree" by: CLAVERIA, Jaime Miguel A.

In the artwork, I see a person lying under a tree while eating his fruits. The colors in the image are the green grass, his blue shorts, his orange shirt, his yellow fruits, and the brown tree trunk. Other than that, the boy is about to eat one of the fruits he is holding.

Analyzing the image, it shows realism in that it depicts a subject doing day to day things such as eating food. It doesn't deviate in any way like making certain features bigger or different but instead focuses on capturing the details of the image as accurate to real life as possible. Additionally, the image shows harmony in that the multiple bright colors seen in the art makes the art have a cheery and bright tone. The colors depict a bright and beautiful atmosphere. Lastly, the image uses proper use of proportion in that the person is the biggest in size while the fruits are smaller which gives the implication the main focus of the art is the person.

My interpretation of the piece is that this boy is enjoying the relaxing and beautiful scenery while eating fruits under the tree. He is simply enjoying life as it is, not worrying about any issues he might face. I say this because the bright colors in the image means that whatever is happening there, it is something which is peaceful, happy, and overall pleasing to look at and feel. The grass is healthily green, theres no trash or mess in the area, and all he's doing is eating. I believe that this art is trying to say that we should enjoy our life and not rush things. Similar to the boy, we should just enjoy and appreciate the present and not worry about the future. We should always look at the bright side of our current life in order to live our lives with joy and peace. We should also try to appreciate the simple things in life. Appreciating even the most simplest of things leads us to have an overall positive outlook which we should always have.

Overall, I like the artwork because of its simplicity and its bright color style. It depicts a relaxing and peaceful environment and I find it giving me a cozy type of feeling and a feeling of warmth inside me as well. I would rate this artwork a 20/20 in my books.

The art depicts a scene of three priests that are to be executed. A traditional house in the background, and it being filled with orange. One of them already dead, while the other two and lined up with their hands tied together. This is realism. Interpreting it as the scene where the three martyr priests who were executed using a gammote (the device the first priest is executed in) as found guilty for orchestrating the Cavite Mutiny. The art portrays part of our history.

In the art, we can see that it has orange, and more of a neutral color palette other than the colors used for the house. Orange tones were used for the skin of the priests. There is texture and depth in their clothing, the cloth on one's head, the gammore and the establishments (the wall and house) behind them. The recreational art outlines the main subjects of the art.

Again, this art illustrates the execution of the three martyr priests otherwise known as "Gomburza".

This art it quite interesting to say the least. From the title itself, it tells the end of their lives and represents part of our Philippine history. Overall, I don't really like the message this art gives because it signifies their death, however I do like the fact that it is a more realistic approach to contemporary arts, telling an important scene in our history. 15/20

The main subject of the artwork is the cross, it seems to be painted blue and is made out of cardboard. It is only held together by rubber bands. There seems to be little dots or points within the cross. It has a background with a light color.

The artwork has visual balance, specifically symmetrical. All the sides are equal, and the use of rhythm is present with the repetition of dots inside the cross. There is a clear contrast between the color of the cross and the color of the background, further highlighting the cross. Since it is a 3 dimensional piece, it uses the form of a Christian cross. Only geometric lines are used in the cross, displaying a feeling of no motion. There is visual harmony present in the piece, from the balance, to the contrast, and the repetition.

I think the artwork is conveying the message of weakening faith in modern times. The cross appears to be flimsy, being made from cardboard and rubber bands which is the only thing holding it together. Which can possibly mean that Christian faith today is flimsy, and that it isn't solid. It could be broken at any time by anything. The dots can be seen as pins, which highlights the weak points of faith today. The dark blue color of the cross can mean a sense of hopelessness, sinking further into despair. In contrast with the bright background, which represents how faith is supposed to be.

Personally, the artwork struck me through the chest. It really highlights how our faith is weakening in modern times. This piece represents our dwindling belief in our faith as Christians, and it does well to remind us of our change in faith. This piece is masterfully done, I would rate it as a definite 20/20. I think more people should see and understand what this piece is trying to tell us.

I see many houses surrounded by flooding water. Pieces of trash and leaves, even trunks from trees floating about the flood. There is also a small child playing with a kite on the red roof of a house. From there on, the water seems to get deeper at the bottom of the art.

The painting has contrast and value on lighter and darker shades of blue, representing the flood. There is also no negative space seen as allof the blue background represents surface flooding in the neighborhood. The houses are all different colors from each other and it greatly distinguishes itself from each other. The greenery floating about are also of different shades. There also seems to be no lines whatsoever in the recreational art.

This looks like a scene from a strong storm. The storm was not enough to destroy the neighborhood, however there was enough rainwater to flood the houses where even the children started to climb to the roof. This heavily depicts on the Philippines because we are usually prone to typhoons. Floods and such are quite uncommon.

In my opinion, I like this art. It represents how many neighborhoods, especially those in low areas can look like after typhoons. It helps spread awareness on such issues as well. 17/20.

There is a large curved shape with arms attached to it. Within the curved shaped are twisting, tangled lines and the shape of a boat. Near one hand is a circle with the letter L, and then near the other arm is a flying insect.

The work is mostly white with the pop of color coming from the yellow of the circles and the greenish-blue tint of the curved shape. The coloring technique for the circle with letter L in it and the flying insect is smooth, but the scratchy style used for the curved shape is very textured, implying turbulence and messiness. There is some yellow color bleeding into the twisting lines and the greenish-blue.

"Layag" means to set sail; to go on a voyage. The curved shape is meant to emulate a wave. The flying insect represents the concept of journeying or travelling. The scratchiness of the wave represents how scary or strange a journey or voyage may feel to someone. The boat is tiny in comparison to the wave/water, representing how we may internally feel about going on our own adventure in the world. The twisting, curling lines show that all of life's journeys and adventures have no linear, direct or straightforward path.

This artpiece is pleasing to the eyes and has a sense of wonder and whimsy. The simplicity is used to create intrigue and mystery.

20/20

The art "Ethereal Steps" perfectly shows the spirit of floating feet. This artistic style creates the appearance of feet floating weightlessly by fusing realism and abstraction.   The painting features a unique setting, such as an otherworldly portrait, where the ground is non-existent and just focus is on the floating feet, which are the central element of the composition. The floating feet represent freedom from gravity's limits and represent a symbolic journey into the unknown. This kind of painting encourages viewers to consider the borders between reality and imagination as they engage in a creative investigation of a meeting point between the physical and invisible.

Based on the artwork recreated by Chantelle B. Valera, It seems that a woman covering her head and ears while on land. I also see some shadowed faces/body-like form mixed with the land. The woman’s face nor her clothing is not seen, therefore I can only base on her body gesture which seems afraid.

From the whole art itself, It is drawn by pencil sketching and it is somehow fits into a realism art. Since there are no colors used, the shadows provides depth and texture. I also think it is well-balanced with the landscape/background.

my interpretation of the painting on regards to the details and the title, is that the painting itself depicts the image of a women covering her ears from the judge-mental words of her elders. The elders resembles as the long-lost souls that are attached to the woman. The land is her own spacious area on where the woman has usually been having these mind-problems

Personally, the artwork is great by details, simplicity of design, forms, and the recreation itself. It was easy to visualize, make an interpretation, didn’t give the viewer a hard time analyzing the artwork. I would give the art and the artist 19.2/20.

Based on the artwork itself, I see one box and one rectangular box stacked on one another and there’s a circle at the center at the box.

Since the artwork is pencil sketched, the shadows simply adds depth, texture and the overall design of the subject. The artwork is also designed 3D, so I consider this as asymmetric, yet balanced artwork.

My interpretation on this artwork is simply the literal shape of the future earth. It may not depict a direct visual design, but we’ll get to know more as time passes by.

I think the artwork is decent, simple, created precisely. It was hard for me to find a deeper interpretation, but overall I would give it a 16/20.

This piece depicts a calm sea or ocean with an array of blues and greens. It is cut by areas of white; across from below, and diagonally from above. There is a ship sailing at the edge of the white above, where it meets the blue expanse.

This artwork could be considered abstraction as it does not describe its landscape through well-defined shapes, but with large swathes of color. Said colors are predominantly the cooler hues of blue, green and white, set in varying tones to provide depth and variety. In conjunction with its drab grays, the hard angles and straight lines of the subject, a little ship, distinguishes it from the landscape which dominates the foreground.

The title suggests an eponymous journey which seems to be undertaken by the piece's subject. I believe that the ship's journey through the mists and into calmer waters is a metaphor for a truth about life. There may be times where the paths in one's life are shrouded and unclear, where they're easily led astray. But just as the little ship finds calmer seas, so too can one find tranquility along the path of their own dark journey.

The different hues of the colors could use some work in order to convey depth better, but it's not bad at all. Whatever its message may be, it is undoubtedly soothing. I would say that, overall, the artwork is solid.

Two legs dangle limply upside down. Lines drip down from the feet and flow down below. There are red dots littering the background in varying sizes and state of blurring.

The artwork is mostly monochrome with gray, black and white being the dominant colors in the piece. However, there are bits of green, yellow, red and blue mixed into the grey legs. The legs are created using scratchy lines and textures, most likely achieved using either  a wax based material or lead based material. The monotony of the background is broken by the differently shaped and sized red dots. Some of them are blurred or get smaller as they go down the piece.

Red is a symbolic color for blood. Green, yellow, and blue are also colors that are seen in bruising or human bodies that have endured physical trauma or damage. The legs could be seen as upside-down and dangling, but it could also be seen as a autopsy shot. The dark color of the legs could be indicative of hidden meanings of race or racial bias; racial charged crime or assault is prevalent in this day and age.

This is a haunting piece. The minimum colors create an evocative and powerful aura, but also eerie.

This artwork seems to be based on a portrait of a woman. There's not a ton of detail. The woman's face appears to be distorted.

The technique used by the artist seems to be "distortion" due to the face of the woman being disproportional.

I believe that this is a simple "distortion" portrait. Using distortion, the artist wants to convey a message to women. Don't judge the outside but judge the inside is what I get from the picture due to the woman not looking as beautiful.

Overall I'd rate this art a 16/20. I believe the artist can improve the distortion technique. It can be cleaner and look even better once polished up.

This artwork is an portrait of a woman in black and white. It is very basic and doesn't have that much detail.

The artwork is in black and white. The technique is very simple with the artist using a pencil and sketching. He uses different levels of shading to emphasize different parts of the woman's face.

I believe that this is just a simple portrait photo. Perhaps this is to communicate what the artist thinks is beautiful hence sketching the girl because he thinks she is beautiful.

Overall I'd rate this a solid 17/20 perhaps the technique and drawing could be cleaned up more but overall it is very close to the original.

I see that the artist's brush strokes are from side to side and that it could represent waves or a body of water. I also notice the use of the colors black and white in the painting. I also notice that there is no subject in the painting.

The artist creates the center of interest by using the color white to bring attention to the middle part of the painting. The artist used the color white to make accents in the painting so that it would have a meaning. The artist used his brush strokes to give meaning to the painting.

I think that the artist is trying to depict the sea because of the way that the artist stroked his brush made it look like a black and white ocean with the sun reflecting on it because of the white strokes in the middle along with the solid black color which made it look like sunset.

The painting is overall hard to understand because it looks plain and it only uses 2 colors. It requires you to really focus on the painting in order to get its meaning. I give this painting a 17/20

“Enchanted Judicial Kingdom” Critique by Rehmat Sidhu

# data[].attributes.body
In this artwork you see the body of a human being in the shape of a skeleton. There is also a castle in the back and inside the shape of what seems to be a cloud. There are also red droplets on the skull and red droplets around the floor.

The artist uses Distortion in trying to relay his message, since a dead person can’t dream anymore and a skeleton won’t bleed since it has no nervous system. It seems as if the artists uses a pencil to sketch what he’s trying to relay since theres a good use of shadow.

Based on what I see in the art, I think the artist is trying to tell us that the Judicial system is dead and the skull is a representation of it. The skull is dreaming of an equal world but it’s dead and the modern world is filled with blood which represents the killings that go on in the world today.

I think the artist does really well to portray such a deep message and they do it very subtly. It’s a sensitive topic and it could be misinterpreted, however the artist did well to make sure no one misinterprets it. The artist also sketches the skull and everything in the art very well. It’s a 20/20 fir me.

A boy could be seen laying down on the grass with his legs crossed. He is under the tree to hide from the sunlight and eat his mangoes.

This painting uses a very unique art style, almost a mix of realism and abstract. It uses hues and shades that make it look realistic and show the true colors of life. The elements seem natural and show nature such as grass and the tree, making a natural scene.

I interpret this painting as how life should be lived. This painting is a message to embrace the simple things in life and be content with what nature gives us. Life does not need to be stressful and relaxing and staying calm should be the way of living.

The painting depicts something all of us want to do, relax and chill. This painting has a deep message on how life should be calm and stress free. I give this art piece a 20/20.

Based on the artwork, I see a supposedly a portait of a girl.

It fits as a realism art made from pencil sketch. There is a form of radical with her eyes and that's all so far.

My interpretation for this art is creating an art out of a person's face and simply emphasizes that anyone's face can be an art.

I think the art itself is okay and it needs improvements on being realistic to detail and having a symmetrical face. It needs more effort, but overall I will give it a 16/20

As you can see, the artwork is a little bit dark. You can colors of bloods, death and some scary things. The art is distortion because it is not realistic. The background has textures. My interpretation is it gives the artwork a death vibe and gives the audience fear based on the title which is killing. I personally like the artwork because by just looking at it will make you realize a lot of things

I would score this 20/20

Art Critique on  "SUSANNA AND THE ELDERS" (Recreation) by Nellas

# data[].attributes.body
A woman kneels with her knees on the ground, her hair falling to her shoulders and her hands covering her head, as if bracing for impact or hiding away. Behind her are gray, rock-like shapes with the impression of human faces etched onto them. At the bottom left corner, there is a shape of an animal.

The artwork is monochrome, making use of gray, white and black values. But cell shading and scratchy implied texture of the background implies rocks and creates a negative space, further highlighting the crouched subject and drawing attention to her. Despite the simplistic stylistic choices, the rudimentary silhouettes create ambiguity and intrigue.

"Susanna and The Elders" is a story in the old testament. A woman bathes and is spied upon by two men. They then blackmail her, saying that they will accuse her of adultery, if she does not have sex with them. She was bathing in the privacy of her own garden, and the story was set at the time of the Jewish exile in Babylon. Knowing this, the rocky shapes and the faces in the background give a more harrowing tale. Even without a face, the terror and hopelessness of the woman, Susanna, is palpable. This is a story of a woman being forced to choose between death (because at the time, Adultery could be punishable by death; particularly being pelted with stones to death, which makes the depiction of the elders as part of the stone background more harrowing) or rape.

This piece puts the highlight on the women, hiding away the men as part of the background. Focusing on the pain and anguish that women have had to go through at the hands of men who held their power over them. My only criticism is that, like most depictions of Susanna and the Elders, the woman is shown as wilting, as weak, as unwilling or unable to even try fighting back. 17/20.

From the art itself, i could see a young woman with her arms crossed in the middle of the streets. This could mean that she is freezing in the night. from the background, i could see well lit lights.

By the title of the of the art "Kutob" translating to "young", this could that this art adresses our current and ongoing social issue of the youth being in poverty.

I would rate this art a 17/20 because even when the art isnt well drawn, I could still understand and analyze the art very clearly

I see a boy eating a mango under a tree while lying down on the grass. It uses a mixture of different colors such as orange, yellow, green, brown, and blue. The artwork itself is made using a pencil and coloring pencils.

Analyzing the artwork, what caught my eye the most was the use of movement in the artwork. This alone makes the artwork a lot more profound. Another thing I noticed is how the mood is dictated by the color palette of the artwork. Because it uses light and neutral colors, it gives off a more peaceful and serene mood. Lastly, the art style used seems to be that of realism.

Based on the title and notable observations of the artwork, I would interpret it as an artwork of positive emotions. As I said previously, it inflicts positive emotions in the audience such as serenity, relaxation, calmness, and the like. Because of how peaceful the boy eating the mango seems to be. If I were to put it in words, the boy seems like he doesn't have the slightest care in the world except for the ripe mangoes he is eating, under the tree, which if I were to admit is quite peaceful indeed. But digging deeper, I believe that the author is trying to tell us that in life sometimes, not caring and letting things be is the best thing to do to achieve that "peace". We get so stressed out nowadays that we can't even take the time to enjoy simple things in life, such as eating a ripe mango under a tree.

Evaluating the artwork, I would say that it is simple yet beautiful, or rather its simplicity is what made it beautiful. Because of that the artist was not only able to catch my attention but was also able to make me appreciate the beauty in simplicity. That is why I would sincerely give this artwork a 20/20.

GOMBURZA by Elmer Borlongan Art Critique by GRACILLA, Andrei

# data[].attributes.body
We can see multiple visual qualities in This art recreation, we can see that there are three characters and one of them is getting killed by garote. The three priest in the art are Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jocinto Zamora. 2 of them are standing and 1 is getting killed by garote while the two priest are watching. There is a structure behind them which can be a house or a school.

The art has different colors which can represent what the artist is feeling while making the art. The main colors presented in the art are black, white, and brown, While the other colors are used as design on the structure in the background. The artist made the subjects of the art more seen in the art by making them have different colors than the background.

According to research the GOMBURZA was against this charged environment that GOMBURZA were accused and found guilty of allegedly orchestrating the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. In this art it shows one of them getting killed but all of them are waiting to get killed by the garote method. The artist is showing us how GOMBURZA got killed.

I can say that this artwork has successfully presented how GOMBURZA was killed and how it happened. The artwork recreation was done really well and I can see the resemblance of the art recreation from the original. I rate this artwork recreation 20/20

It is a mask, its main color is yellow, the lips are colored dark red, its eyelids and liner are black and there are strokes of black around the mask like on the eyebrows and such.

The technique he used was painting and drawing. He seems to have painted the mask with various colors. He also used a marker to draw on the strokes of black lines on the mask.

The masskara masks are from the Masskara Festival and they are meant to bring a smile on peoples faces. My interpretation is that this mask is smiling to hide the pain a person is feeling deep down.

Overall this is a 18/20, perhaps if only he made the smile wider and more expressed it wouldn't look that creepy for me.

I see 2 legs upside down with something dripping from it. I see many red dots around the legs in the painting. I also see different colors like yellow, red, blue, green, pink, and orange painted on some parts of the legs.

The artist created a center of attention using the manipulation of the sizes. The artist made the legs the center of attention by making it the biggest thing in the painting. The artist also put the legs in the middle of the painting. The use of the colors gives more meaning and detail to the painting like the color red that looks like blood around the painting.

I think that the painting means that someone's legs are fading away because of the fading colors. I think that the artist is trying to show how light the feeling of the legs is as if they are floating or weightless.

Overall the painting is easy to understand and I give it a 20/20 because it clearly gives its message.

After observing the artwork for quite some time, I noticed that there are three main divisions in this artwork. The blue part, the red part, and the brown/black part. Inside the blue and red part of the artwork are black "raindrops". Another thing I noticed is the blending of the red and blue parts as if they are part of each other.

When analyzing the artwork, I noticed that the artist utilizes color psychology, since each color seems to inflict a strong and firm emotion to the audience. The medium used for this artwork is paint on canvas and the art style used is either abstract or non-objectivism, but for my analysis, I would say that it is non-objectivism because I do not see a specific subject.

If I were to interpret this artwork, I would start by focusing on the two most prominent colors, which are blue and red. These two often correlate to war and peace which makes sense because if that was the case I would say that the "raindrops" are either bullets or bombs. What further solidifies my interpretation is that the brown/black part looks like houses, so if put together it seems like the artwork is battling between war and peace, and that the houses are being bombed amidst all of that.

For the evaluation, I would say that the artist was able to create a very thought-provoking artwork, especially with how well-executed the color palette is. That is why I will gladly give this artwork a 20/20.

The painting depicts a woman, a child and a figure off to the distance. They seem to be inside an arrow shaped thing which is surrounded by a brown background. There is a text bubble above the woman which could probably mean that she is explaining something to the kid.

The technique he used here was just using crayons and drawing. The drawing seems sketched overall. Some parts of the coloring is sloppy like the brown background having white spots and such.

The painting could be about receiving the news from somebody. It could also be trying the communicate the wonders of a mother telling a story or the news to a child before bedtime. It could mean that the artist is revisiting a warm memory of his mother telling him a story which could explain the brown background.

Overall this is an 17/20, perhaps he could have done better in terms of his technique like his coloring which could have been done better.

This painting shows a tree with row. The background has a flat color. The roots of the tree can also be observed at the bottom.

The painting shows a dark contrast. It also has texture for the subject and background somehow. The color is perfect for the painting because it is not too dark but not too light also. This painting is very realistic.

I think this painting is involved in suicidal. As I said earlier its a little bit dark and has a rope on the tree that represent suicidal for some people.

I personally liked the artwork as it gave already a meaning just by looking at it. the color is perfect with the connection of its meaning.

At a first glance there's many noticeable things within this piece first of all you can see 2 men talking each other to the right there also seems to be a pillar to a building that they may have came out of. Not just that but in the background you can see trees, a river, mountains, and clouds. The artist drew the center of attention to the 2 men speaking by putting a beam coming from the eyes of one of them while only using a pencil your still able to see which part is darker than the other using shading which is creative while only using a pencil cause there's technically only 2 colors being the white part of the paper and the grey part of the pencil. If were taking the title into consideration the title my own interpretation it would be about two men arguing or debating over a beam and its size. With the beam next to eye of another therefore the beam looking big in the eye of the other one. Overall I would rate this piece a 20/20 even with a pencil only your able to differentiate what's given inside of the piece creatively using shading while only having technically only the pencil as a piece of equipment, not just that its engaging making the audience wonder why there's just a large beam on the eye of the man arguing or talking with another.

The picture depicts a resemblance of human feet but I do not think those feet are human but perhaps maybe the feet of another entity. There are red dots surrounding the feet. The feet are oddly colored with colors of red, yellow, cyan and more. It is also textured weirdly which is unique.

The technique used seems to be painting. It looks to be an combination of abstraction and realism with the use of feet. He uses a variety of colors which makes it look appealing.

Other people may see this painting as a weirdly drawn picture of human feet but I see it as the feet of a God. This is implied by the name of the artwork. This could also mean the God is falling and that the other half of the artwork is missing. I can infer that the God is falling because of the black strands stemming from the feet. What I see is that a God has been slain and the red spots around are drops of his blood and that he is currently falling through time and dimensions hence the white and empty background.

Overall I would give this a 20/20. This painting has many deep meanings within it and many different interpretations can come from it. Technique wise it also very well done.

A little girl stands alone on an empty street. The environment looks to be in an area where poverty is prominent. She is alone and comforting herself by hugging.

The painting uses a unique style of realism, where the subject is in the center, almost like a portrait. The greyness and dullness on her skin shows her emotion and feeling about her situation. The emptiness of the street and background represent how lonely she must feel during this tough time in her life.

I interpret this painting as a way to show how most people who live under poverty feel. How helpless and lonely they are that no one is helping them get out of this tough situation.

The artwork has a deep meaning to an otherwise straightforward piece. Its message is very timely as poverty rate in the Philippines is int an all time high. This painting acts a wake up call for Filipinos to act and do something about poverty. I give this art piece a 20/20.

From the artwork, I can see a mix of different elements. At first glance, I can see birds, flamingos, different crops, landforms, trees, and various objects like water pots.

I noticed how lighter colors were used in the creation of the artwork, and the work looked colorful to the eye. It was able to contrast different colors into one work, such as the use of blue and green onto similar objects, which are the mountains.

My interpretation of this artwork is that whenever we are in our dreams, the most unique, unimaginable, and a mix of everything can happen in that dream. Going off the title of the artwork as well which is Good Night Sleep Tight, we see that the artwork is filled with colors and objects being put into one, showing how our imagination can go to places in our dreams.

Personally, I love the artwork, as it was visually appealing, used colors that are light and airy, and provides more space for interpretation depending on how we look at it.

1. Description
In the artwork, I see a beautiful on attempt on drawing Jose Rizal. I also see that Jose Rizal carrying a piece of paper and that the background is bright red. There are also words on the paper that he is carrying.
2. Analysis
The way the  recreational artist (Albert) is showing the center of attention is the fact that the space around the main subject is one simple but strong color. It makes me focus on the thing that is happening instead of its surroundings. But the color red also could imply that it is also something that is related to the subject.
3. Interpretation
If i took the name of the artwork in consideration, the word "Yumaon Ka" translate to passing away. That could be interpreted as Jose Rizal dying for what he has written in the various books he made to expose the abuses of the Spanish Rule during that time. The red background around it could imply the blood that was shed during that time or it could the blood that Jose Rizal shed for the Filipinos to rise up and fight for their country. (Philippine Revolution).
4. Judgement
Overall the artwork was perfectly recreated because of how I managed to get the meaning behind it. When I compared it to the real artwork, I would still say the same thing about it. I could see the effort put in into the details and creative way of recreating it. I would give this recreation a 20/20

This artwork show a skeleton which gives a very dark vibe compared to other artworks. The feature of the embroiled crown onto the skeleton’s head adds to the art style. A castle on the background also depicts that correlates on the topic.

The simplicity of the drawing without colors does add to the definition. Even without much color, the detailed figures of the skeleton and the background fills up the space where it can give multiple meanings for just one drawing. It overwhelms the viewer with so many designs in such details.

It looks like a depiction of what hell looks like emphasizing the word “Judicial”. The ruler of Hell would be in the stay of the castle in the background and the skeleton is the guardian of the place which judgement lies on the their hands. Maybe the artist is warning the people if we continue to do bad we would end up in a place where eternal suffering lies.

It has a dark theme yet gives a vivid feeling towards the viewer. The strengths is that it has so many elements and it looks like so much is happening in just one painting. I would say this is a successful work 20/20.

By looking at the work, I can see a dead tree with what seems to be a rope with a wheel attached. But at the same time the rope can look like something used for suicide. This artwork looks nice despite there being only one subject. The colors used in the background help emphasize on the subject by using a light color and placing something dark colored in the middle. I think this work has two meaning, one meaning is that amidst all the despair, we can find happiness which can be seen by the "swing" on the tree. The other one is that, because of all the despair, we have had enough and want to give up. Overall I like this artwork and I want to give this artwork a 20/20

The artwork shows a mix of various plants and flowers, all of which have their own unique colors and shapes. There is a person also present in the artwork, as flowers are coming out of their mouth, also standing in between land on possibly a body of water.

The use of different colors gives emphasis to the flowers and plants. We are able to put our eyes onto that specific part of the piece, making it a primary point of attention for the artwork. The colors were able to compliment one another, despite each of them varying in colors.

My interpretation of this artwork is for humanity to be vocal about conserving our environment. The artwork shows a person possibly speaking, and the things that come out of that person are flowers. This could mean that the person is advocating for us to be more careful and sensitive when it comes to our environment. These actions start through awareness, which is why the person is speaking up about it. From the title itself, "Bloom", these plants, flowers, and our environment will only achieve blooming if it starts with our care.

I believe that the artwork was very easy to look at. It was able to showcase right away the main focus of the artwork, from the title itself, we could assume what to expect and upon seeing the artwork, it was able to correlate to the title, making it successful. I was able to also give it an interpretation.

From first glance, I can see a woman holding a slipper with one leg up, possibly the leg for the slipper she is holding. There is also a cockroach or "ipis" in the artwork. The woman seems to be wearing a traditional piece of clothing. The word fearless can also be seen in the work.

The artwork seems to be a sketch of a work, heavily making use of a pencil, along with techniques such as shading to fill in spots and create more depth to the work. The artist was able to make us focus on what seems to be a woman looking down on a cockroach, with a slipper at hand. It looks as if there is movement in the piece, as it looks like the woman is about to hit the cockroach with the slipper.

My interpretation of this artwork is how we Filipinos perceive cockroaches in our households. Cockroaches are common in our country, and a common action we do whenever we see one is to get a slipper and to slap one with it, which is seen in the artwork. People are often scared of cockroaches, and whoever has the guts to try and kill one is considered to be brave. This is where the title of the artwork comes into play, "The Dance of a Warrior" refers to when we are in a chase with a cockroach, we try to kill it before it goes elsewhere.

I believe that the artwork is very successful, as I was able to get a message from it right away. The title plays on the action being done in the artwork, and also relates to the artwork.

This artwork is simple and straightforward. The bottom part of the rectangular prism is darker than the top part. there is a dark circular shape on the top portion of the rectangular prism. It uses straight lines, there are no curved lines. It uses geometric shapes.

In this artwork there is no background and the artwork present is only the subject. The artwork is expressing simplicity and the color is monochrome. The artwork is balanced because everything is symmetrical.

As the title of the art work say "The Future Shape of the World", It is saying that the future shape of our world is a rectangular prism. It is saying that our future would be perfect. Our future would be simple, straightforward, perfect.

The uses of straight lines, simple colors, simple shapes shows what the artist is trying to say through the art. It is representing the artists interpretation of the future shape of the world. I rate this artwork 20/20.

First looking at the artwork at the top-right corner, there is a boat with a human inside. Next, I notice that the body of the work has arms, then around the arms, there is an L and a bug.

In analysis, there is a lot of dead space around the subject of the work.  I immediately notice that it has an abstract style. It has a simple arrangement of colors it uses, while the design itself is very complex and unique.

My personal interpretation of the artwork is how this represents someone's journey on boat. The lengthy swirls are the rivers they have crossed, the many stories they have ventured through, the paths that come full circle or intertwined with old adventures. The body having arms suggests the passion of the sailor, that maybe this whole journey is what makes him alive, or what makes him the person he is now. The insect and letter representing the creatures and people they have met along the way. Lastly, the boat having the shape of the house just proves his love of his journey, so much that their boat is now their new home.

Overall, I really appreciate abstract art like this and how much room it makes for us to appreciate and share our own personal perspectives of how we understand and perceive it. 20/20.
