Message Conveyed by the Artwork or Artist?

We generally have a notion that artists are eccentric. They tend to act in ways that they believe they can move freely and be able to express what they want. So it is with art, we may use any form we want to convey our feelings and sentiments. Now, it is up to the viewers to interpret what they see. So what do you see in these pictures?

Christmas Drive: Tulong Natin s mga Kabataan 2005

Dear Students:

Alam natin na mahirap ang buhay ngayon. Talagang kulang na kulang ang ating mga pondo. Ako man ay ganun. Pero merong mga tao na mas naghihirap sa atin. Bilang tulong ang ilang propesor sa PUP ay maghahatid ng mga gamit sa mga batang naglayas na nasa pangangalaga ng Center for Migrant Youth. Ang naka-toka sa mga klase ko ay tsinelas at Perla na sabon. Siguro mga ten to thirteen years old and mga gagamit. Kung meron ding lumang damit ay pwede rin pero dahil pasko mas maganda sana kung bago.

Kung makakapagdala kayom kokolektahin ng mga inatasan naming mga magaaral sa Martes, Disyembre 13, 2005.

Maraming salamat sa inyong pagtugon.

By the way, just in case there is a Manila Fil FEstival, try to watch some of the films. If your religion does not permit, it is okay.
