The Museum Visit

1. The arts in the museum symbolizes the meaning of history of cultural aspects of the people in Mindanao. Some art contain very important trademark in its historical place. For example, they used weapons in fighting in wars and hunting animals, tools for farming, musical instruments, weaving, and making jewelry.

2. The art reflects about the history of Cagayan de Oro and its art in northern Mindanao where in long time ago when the institution; the Capitol University, started to educate the students with the arts collected as a display of Misamis Oriental's natural history.

3. My Impression in this museum is notable because the arts reflects on the cultural aspects similar to the Contemporary artist today. I hope that these arts may inspire many people or students who want to become creative artist in the future.

CONTEMPORARY ART

My Own Contemporary Art

My Contemporary Art is about this devastated environment or a wasteland that is caused by flood, storm, or war, But a beautiful stunning landscape that represents the destruction of mother nature through Human acts or natural phenomena where mostly the art is just like what is happening in our world today. Despite the rugged, barren surroundings it also shows how a Person could imagine living or seeing himself in this wasteland for the first time.

Another example of this environment where it shows the city or town in the aftermath of war. This art is similar to the aftermath of the Marawi city today.

CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS

Contemporary Philippine Arts as shown a lot of improvements until today from Generations to Generations, arts from different regions in the Philippines were still performed in the modern time. A few decades ago, Philippines were colonized by Periodical occupations, suffered by torments and most of all forced to envelop new cultures and traditions from mainly different occupants which is the Spanish, American and the Japanese period.
