PART 1
Art Acquisition and Enhancement and Art Integration
A description of the arts suggest that art and the ability to make art is an
indispensable part of human nature. For although individual capabilities may differ, artistic
expression is man sharing himself to others so that they too may appreciate what is in
themselves. Art acquisition further emphasizes that an essential part of cognitive
development is the awareness that art is part of growing-up; of becoming a person with a
capacity to express and share his thoughts and emotions. Once this capability had been
realized enhancing artistic skills follows. Herein lies the discipline of what it is to become
professional artist.

LESSON 1: ACQUIRED SKILLS ENHANCEMENT

On Skills Acquisition
In the curricula developed by the local educational system
(DEPED and CHED), a study of the arts has been, since preschool. Integrated
into the process of formative and higher education. Subjects like MAPEH and Art
Appreciation under the Humanities aims to expose all students to the Arts through
Classroom instruction and hands-on experience. The main objective of the educational
system is not only to educate but also to tap the students’ natural abilities and inclination
towards the Arts as a form of individual expression.

Individual differences make one aware of the existence of “gifted

artists” who do not require much training in expressing artistic
potentials and aspiring

Where art is therefore concerned, the process of acquisition and

enhancement involves creating - i.e. exploring, discovering, and
experimenting. The process is what most important, not the thing
that is actually created.

On Skills Enhancement
How does one become a good artist and have people look at his artwork in amazement
and wonder? To answer this: becoming a good artist is always a work in progress. There is just
no end to the learning, the growing and the evolving. In addition, what defines a good artist is
his concentrate to developing the following characteristics in himself:

Artistic Ability. A good artist contentiously develops this ability to further his natural, creative
skills. He is never satisfied with what he had already learned but is contentiously learning to
hone his artistic skills.

Creativity. A good artist knows how to make the most use out of his imagination. He should
come up with original ideas and have the courage to be different in his artistic expression.

Manual Dexterity. A good artist always allots time for practicing his skills. Artists’
techniques differ in the manner in which he makes coordinated hand and finger movements
like in how he makes brush strokes, executes sketches or molds a pliable medium.

Computer Editing. A good artist keeps up with technology and exerts effort to gain computer
literacy.
Communication Skills. A good artist should be able to convey information to people clearly
and simply. The ability to transmit and receive messages clearly aids him in being able to read
and understand his audience.

Self-promotion/ Marketing Skills. A good artist should learn how to publicly relate oneself
to people for purpose of selling his products and services.

A proof of an artist’s capabilities can be compiled in a portfolio. This portfolio should

be carefully developed to contain a demonstration of accomplishment works which would
highlight the artist at his best. The portfolio should display his style that is unique and indicative
of the direction from which he is working from. The artist sholud have both digital and hard
