• The art is one of the most significant ways in which we try to grapple with how the present unfolds.
• Robert Henri’s - The Art Spirit (1923), he stated that “Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well.
• Peter Drucker’s -seminal book Post-Capitalist Society (1993), he stated that “the real controlling resource and the absolutely decisive factor of production is neither capital not land nor labor. It is knowledge.
• Museums -are packed with numerous artifacts and interesting objects from all over the world that have survived centuries for us all to see.
• Cologne Cathedral - In Germany, it is but one of the many examples of early Gothic architecture. 
• Cologne Cathedral - The account was that master mason Gerhard Ryle started the project in 1248 but was only completed roughly 600 years later, claiming the record as one of the longest construction projects to date.
• These guilds were prevalent during the Middle Ages particularly during the thirteenth to fifteenth century, where towns had formalized groups of artisans or craftsmen who took on a particular specialization or trade:
• Guilds -were a type of social fellowship, an association structured with rules, customs, rights, and responsibilities.
• A master artisan or craftsman would then be open to hiring apprentices who would be under his tutelage and instruction.
• glaziers refers to (stained glass artists),
• In the visual arts, an example of an artist strongly influenced by this was Albrecht Dürer. Born in 1471, his father was a goldsmith; that is why he also apprenticed as such,
• Although the timeline is a bit skewed, the culture of artisans became prevalent in the Philippines as well, particularly during the Spanish colonial period.
• Project Kisame -is a collective endeavor amongst enthusiasts and advocates who aimed to promote this art form through documentation, engagement, and appreciation of surviving ceiling paintings in more than 60 churches in the Philippines
• One example of a Spanish architecture that has been documented is the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Loay, Bohol.
• The  Most Holy Trinity Built in 1822, the ceiling paintings were rendered trompe l’oeil style depicting biblical scenes.
• two other important genres for painting at that time were the

  • tipos del pais
  • letras y figuras
• One key example that illustrated the systematization of art instruction—a combination of sorts of the guild and the art school—was the establishment Damian Domingo of the Academia de Dibujo. 
• Damian Domingo -he was known as the best "tipos del pais" painter
• Known as the best tipos del pais painter, this school specialized in teaching the miniaturismo style of painting along with the tenets of classical European painting.

• Paisajes means landscape
• STUDIO The site that saw this shift was a very personal space for the artist himself,
• There were those whose work stations were segmented into two, the

  • studiolo
  • bottega
• In France, on the other hand, academies and art salons became popular as they did not only support the production of art but also the discourse around them. Criticism and analysis
•  During the latter part of the 1800s, artists began to question the merits of stringent artistic training and education, but it was during the 1900s that art was truly liberated from the traditions of the past.
• ascribed with a name—and legitimized into a sophisticated network of relationships and exchanges. This network is what we called the - art world. 
• Howard S. Becker’s -Art Worlds (1982), he asserted that “all artistic work, like all human activity, involves the joint activity of a number, often a large number, of people.
• A curator on the other hand, is one of the most elusive of roles to pin down.
• Institutional curators are typically affiliated with museums and galleries,
• independent or freelance curators have the leeway to move around various projects, platforms, and art spaces in a multiplicity of terms. 
• the role of curator is more of the interpretation and development of the artwork(s) or the collection(s) through establishing the significance, relationship, and relevance of these materials in isolation and/or as part of a wider narrativ
• buyers are those who initially assess and survey the artwork that collectors interested in,
•  Formerly ascribed with the term “patron,” buyers and collectors are those who acquire and purchase artworks for a variety of reasons:
• art dealers -are those whose direct hand is in the distribution and circulation of the artworks through a variety of means, such as direct sales, through galleries, and the more recent player in the Philippines, auction houses.
• The PRODUCTION process is essentially tripartite: 

  • preproduction
  • production
  • postproduction. 
• preproduction - Gathering and sourcing the materials needed for the creation of the artwork is either subsumed under in what producion process.
• message - is almost always embedded in the artwork and it is the hope of the artist that his audience comes across it, or takes from it something that is his and his alone. 
• Medium - is the mode of expression in which the concept, idea, or message is conveyed. 
• MEDIUM - It may be concrete or tangible, such as paintings, sculptures, monuments, and structures; or it may be ephemeral or something transient, such as a track ( recording of sound ), a film, or a performance.
• The technique of the artwork shows the level of familiarity with the medium being manipulated.
