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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

This painting has over-exaggerated the use of the color blue in expressing the flood but I like how the darker shade of blue became lighter. Based on the title, this painting could represent the aftermath of a big storm. And the kid with the kite could also tell us to focus on the good things and to still have fun when things go bad. 

Overall I would give this artwork a 18/20 because of how you could understand the meaning right away just by looking at the title and the painting.

However, one aspect that could enhance the overall impact of this piece is the outlines. A crisper and more defined outline for each phases in the art would provide greater clarity and refinement to the viewer, potentially elevating the artwork to a greater level of visual engagement.

The piece is monochrome because it is made through mainly and only pencil. This characteristic makes certain details more prominent. The technique of using darker shades for certain components certainly draws the viewers eyes to those components. Although the piece is monochromatic, we can see that there is depth due to shadows and different shades and pressures of the pencil. Other than the shadows, we can discern that there are different levels: foreground, middleground, and background. This is achieved through the sizes of the buildings. For example, we can see that the building with five windows is almost as tall as the spire in the background, but in reality, this building is way smaller. But we end up perceiving that the five windowed building is closer to the viewer. 

I believe that the original artist wanted to capture a moment in time. The scenery is not something extraordinary or significantly astonishing, yet it holds a certain charm to it. I say this because it showcases what a mundane day in a place in England could be. The artwork acts as something that will hold and preserve the memories of that place in that certain time because we all know that life and things in life change whether it be drastic or not. Change is always present. Therefore, I believe that the artist wanted to stop time at that moment and savour the feeling. Another take I can come up with is the representation of Christianity or the church in everyday life. The Church is not fully shown in the art, yet this can represent how we don’t often mind or see Christianity in life, yet it has integrated itself into our culture and lives. 

The artwork is effective in expressing emphasis and subordination of the components. This is like the dimensions present. I believe that although pencil is used, the art is still versatile and interesting to look at. I like the artwork because it is not just one dimensional, it has layers to it, and Jon Marco was able to express that in his recreation. I like how even if it is just pencil produced, it does not look underdone. Additionally, the piece can be very much interpreted as preserving this singular moment in time, so it is successful in the field. My overall numerical rating for this is 20/20.

The creator was able to draw attention towards the men in the piece due to the emphasis of placement and darkness of the shades. Once again, the piece is monochromatic, so there is a need for difference in shade and pressure used in order to express emphasis. There is not much colour to invoke any emotions through hues or the like, but the piece was able to capture the significant area, the conversation between the two men.

If we were to reference the name of the piece, “The Parable of the Mote and the Beam,” then I would interpret it using the prior knowledge on this Biblical parable. The parable questions humans in their way of examining oneself in relation to others. Do we value ourselves more than others? Do we judge others without looking at our own faults, our own shortcomings? Are we that hypocritical and self-righteous that we go on life like we have no impediments? The parable encourages us to look at ourselves, our hearts and minds, before we critique others in their ways. Knowing this, we can see the representation of the artwork to the meaning. The person that is gesturing towards the other is trying to get a “mote” (speck of dust) out of the other’s eye, yet he fails to see the larger beam in his own eye. He sees the error in the other man’s eye, yet he can not see his own. 

The use of pencil was able to express the scenario successfully. In regards to the meaning, you can fathom the deeper connotation of the piece. The beam through the eye may not be a common sight to hold; therefore, this encourages the viewer to ponder on the meaning behind the artwork if ever they do not know the parable. My numerical rating of this piece is 20/20.

In the artwork, you can say that there is emphasis on the subject due to the background not being too busy. You can also say that the shapes and placement of the elements are helpful in expressing the letter G. For example, the way the other two priests are lined up and the other is tied to the garrote forms a big part of the letter G, but without the other components, you may not be able to see the whole thing.

What I think this piece is telling me, apart from GomBurZa which are the symbols and starter points of the coming revolution, is that we have to prioritise our past. You can see that there is emphasis on the subject, therefore, you can say, the artist is emphasising our culture and history. And we can awaken that fire in ourselves, if we look back.

I think the artwork is successful in getting its point across. Additionally, you can see that the end product of the overall piece, it still exhibits the letter G. I think that there is harmony in the colours used, for my eyes are not strained looking at it. Overall, I will give this a 20/20.

Moreover, the artist used distortion in creating the art as he created humans with faces that are not realistic or seems to be distorted. It consists of bright and vibrant colors which makes it appealing for children. 

 

The art shows how people are suffering from poverty which results to them not having a good house. Because of this poverty, the kids may be talking about their dream house in the future. Furthermore, it also shows that even if their parents who is in the shadows is working really hard, he or she doesn’t earn enough to given his or her children what they want. 

 

If what I said is really the true meaning of the art, then I think it was successful in showing the social issue reflected in their contemporary art. Personally, I prefer an art that is created with realism that’s why I don’t like it that much. However, looking at it in an objective perspective, I do like the art as it has a great meaning and lesson. Because of all these, I rate the art a 20/20.

 

The art shows the issue of the destruction of our environment just to modernize the world. It also shows us that our natural resources are being used and is almost gone just to build more buildings. Because of this, the person sat on top seems to feel regretful maybe because he was one of the people that wanted to build such buildings in exchange for the consumption of our natural resources. 

 

The art was extremely successful in conveying its message which is about the social issue of environmental destruction. I also like the art very much as it is realistic which is one of my favorite types of art and the social issue presented is also very relevant and timely because nowadays, people are disregarding our environment and just keeps on using them to build more buildings, which is why I rate this art a 20/20.

 

Based on my knowledge about the GOMBURZA, the art shows the issue in the past wherein Filipino’s can be falsely accused by Spaniards about something they didn’t do without any investigation. This also tells us that the Spaniards see themselves as superior to us Filipino’s. Furthermore, it shows how bad the injustice in our country before. It also shows that Filipino’s don’t have any power before as they can be charged with death penalty without any investigation happening.

 

The art was very successful in telling us its meaning as most Filipino’s know what GOMBURZA is and what happened to it, therefore showing a scene of them being killed will definitely tell us what it means. I like the art really much as it has a really great meaning and the way distortion the artist used distortion is perfect for the meaning of the art. Therefore, I rate it a 20/20.

I would say that the hands are very proportionally accurate, with the creases and wrinkles. The shadowing of some aspects of the hand gives more depth to its appearance and provides more of a realistic feel. The chains around the hand are very detailed and it looks very well drawn with the perspective of how you would some parts of the links, although the chains that do not intertwine with the hand look simple, it still has what it is trying to portray.

 

This artwork represents freedom, or at least what we try to achieve. The hands that constantly try to break free are the same as the people trying to advocate for freedom, trying to break from the “chains of society”. We constantly try to break these chains to be free, to do what we want to do without any oppression from anyone. Although I believe that the “chains” are there for a reason (the reason being that it is what keeps us from potentially harming ourselves or others), I believe that it should be known to the masses that if you ever feel discriminated against or be oppressed, fight for what is right.

This piece is a 20/20, the topic is very relevant and quite controversial as to what “freedom” really is but despite that, it gives what it needs to give. It holds a lot of resemblance to slavery acts which still happens to this day and this artwork clearly shows that freedom is for all and everyone has the right to freedom.

The art is monotone with only a pencil for its medium. The proportions of the lady are realistic and how her body bends and forms is also quite realistic. This piece is balanced because the two subjects are centered.

As I have said that the girl maintains a straight poker face, I believe that it is about facing your fears. How everyone constantly runs away from what they are scared of and end up succumbing to that enclosed box and being distraught about it. This art piece shows that we should be “fearless”, be the person that is not scared of anything and break free from that box.

The piece for me is a 20/20, it has a great message to everyone to inspire to become “fearless” and I really like the presentation of the insight. The artwork is straightforward and literal but holds a lot of underlying significance and meaning.

The colors were contrasting which would give the subjects more of a unique look and give proper emphasis on their respective appearance. How the clothing of the girls are darker shade of green while the plant was more of a blue-ish green which helps differentiate the two. The bright colors like the pink and red definitely give more life and don't become monotone. It's also quite balanced in terms of the arrangement where the two girls and the plant are both in the center.

I believe that the two girls represent people that have gone through a lot of difficult times in their lives. Dealing with sexist treatment or just discrimination and oppression in general. This flower represents their strength and courage and sheer will to still come out strong, to still be great. That if we had each other, our family, our friends, even our neighbors and community, then we would all stand strong together like the two girls.

I give the artwork a 20/20, the social issue that it tackles is very relevant still and the portrayal is also beautiful. I believe that it presents what it is trying to say, its purpose, in a very literal and figurative way at the same time. Complex but simple.
