Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is a perfect example of art because i believe he creatively used paint (his material) to show his ideas and feelings. He carefully chose colors and brushstrokes (shaping the materials) to create a visually interesting picture of the night sky. The painting really makes you feel something, proving that art is about expressing ideas and emotions through creative work. It's like he took what he saw and turned it into a picture that's interesting to look at and makes us feel something too.

• The idea of art as expression is deeply intuitive for many people. It suggests that art originates from an internal state within the artist, such as emotion, feeling, idea, or experience. The artwork then becomes a vehicle for conveying its message to its audience. Expression provides a powerful motivation for creating art. It suggests a need to communicate something deeply personal, to externalize an internal world. The artistic process becomes a journey of self-discovery and catharsis, where the artist clarifies and understands their own feelings through the act of creation.
  

• “Aesthetics" is defined as connecting it to the qualities that make something pleasing, beautiful, or interesting to our senses. Art as Aesthetic Object, this view focuses on the artwork itself and its inherent aesthetic properties. An example would be the arrangements of lines, colors, shapes, sounds, or words that are considered aesthetically pleasing, regardless of their representational content or expressive qualities. On the other hand, Art as Aesthetic Experience, this perspective focuses more on the object to the viewer and their experience of the art. Art is defined by its capacity to evoke a particular kind of experience that is characterized by pleasure, contemplation, emotional engagement, or a sense of heightened awareness. However, in both cases, aesthetics emphasizes the sensory and emotional impact of art. It suggests that art has the power to move us, to provoke thought, and to enhance our lives through its beauty and expressive qualities.

• Based on my observation the image or the figure seems to be experiencing overwhelming anxiety or external crisis, the scream could be a response to the overwhelming nature of existence itself. The Scream achieves "emotional resemblance." Collingwood argues that art doesn't just represent an emotion in a literal sense, but it evokes a similar emotion in the viewer, the painting lies in its ability to make the viewer feel something based on what the figure is experiencing. The "scream" is not just visual, but emotional. To achieve this the lines, colors, and simplified figure convey the emotion,  the figure's open mouth and wide eyes are universally recognized as signs of distress, triggering an empathetic response in the viewer.

  
  

Tomorrow is a South Korean Television Series that blends fantasy and drama, addressing serious issues like suicide, bullying, and societal pressures. My favorite episode is Episode 9 which focuses on the emotional story of a dog named Kong and its owner, Hun. This episode deeply resonates with me as a pet owner as the episodes explores the themes of love, loss, and regret in the context of Human-animal relationship. It also promotes the idea that pets are not just animals but a family member who deserve love, care and respect throughout their lives. This ideology is conveyed through; the narratives that highlights Hun's guilt for neglecting Kong his pet as he grew older and making him realize the loyalty of his pet to him. Also, the dog's instinct to die alone reflects a sad reality faced by many pet owners.

This episode is very sentimental for me as it tribute to the bond between humans and animals. However, rewatching it critically made me more aware of how it shapes viewers' emotions and moral outlooks through its ideological messaging. While I still appreciate its emotional depth, I now recognize how it subtly reinforces cultural ideals around loyalty and responsibility that align with broader societal values.

The poem highlights the class inequality, the stark contrast between the wealthy mayor with his "big sugar plantation, three new cars, and a mansion" and the struggling farmers who "sell their agony and their sweat for a few pesos" illustrates the structural inequality in Philippine society. And it also highlights the shared childhood experiences and changes in their hometown reflects on the power of memory and the passage of time in shaping one's connection to their roots.

The concepts of originality and piracy shape how we view art in powerful ways. Original works are often treated with more value, both culturally and economically, while altered or reproduced pieces may be dismissed or criticized. However, in this digital and postmodern era, art evolves through reinterpretation, and copying can be a form of creative commentary. My version does not intend to steal the original but to give it a new voice, resonating with a modern audience.
