As the country’s leading government agency for arts and culture, the National

Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) leads in the 2019 NAM celebration with the

multi-venue series of events — “Ani ng Sining: Philippine Arts Festival” — emphasizing

the richness of artistic endeavours in the Philippines and the passion of Filipino artists

and cultural workers. The month-long festival offers a wide array of events and activities

aim at celebrating a bountiful harvest of Philippine arts as well as inspiring Filipinos to

immerse in and appreciate the diversity of cultural expressions, insights and creativity. It

is composed of the flagship projects of the seven national committees — Architecture,

Cinema, Dance, Literary Arts, Music, Dramatic Arts and Visual Arts — and held at different

venues all over the country.

Upon supporting the said celebration, we organize creative activities related to

this year’s theme, “Ani ng Sining: Philippine Arts Festival” such as music, dance, and visual

VISUAL ARTS

Art works of different pupils who joined the poster and mascara making.

“Every artist was first an amateur” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Indeed our pupils were all amateur in the world of arts, but they were not left

behind in this aspect, because this activity proved that they can go along with the non-

amateur artist they admired. The Obra Maestra of the participants was all about the

happenings of the 1986 Edsa Revolution since we will be celebrating it on February 25,

2019. Other pupils also did the mascara as their obra since it is the symbol of arts in our

country.

CONCLUSION

The one day celebration offers a wide array of events and activities aim at

celebrating a bountiful harvest of Philippine arts as well as inspiring Filipinos to immerse

in and appreciate the diversity of cultural expressions, insights and creativity. Our pupils

show off their own talents that emphasize the richness of artistic endeavour in our

country. It also led them to show the passion of our future artist and cultural workers.

And aside from learning our culture thru the celebration, they enjoyed the said activity

wholeheartedly. It gives them the courage to join often in every activity that the school

will hold.

Through this activity, it’s assured that we will always teach the pupils the

importance of our culture for them to know and let them grow with it. They’re not just

enjoyed it, but they learned a lot from it. And as a teacher it is a big challenge for us on

how to integrate our culture to our lesson, so that the pupils will retain it not just in their

memory but also in their hearts.
