Renaissance is a french word meaning, rebirth. It was a cultural movement that spanned the period roughly from the 14th to the 17th century. This period Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. The origins of this period has emphasize about Latin and Greek phases of Renaissance humanism, Social and political structures in Italy, Black Death/Plague, and Cultural conditions in Florence. We all notice that this period has all the characteristic of Humanism, Art, Science, Religion, and Self-awareness especially in their painting and sculptures. This period spread through all Northern Europe, Germany, and France. Indeed the Middle Ages had a civilization and culture of their own. Ancient customs and numerous wrong notions imprisoned this culture. The Renaissance upset these traditions at many points, and by using certain old ideas built up a new civilization.
The Renaissance did not consist so much in a change of subjects of study as it did in setting up a new viewpoint from which well-known facts may be considered. Languages, philosophy, art, government, and religion were studies as fields in which to make discoveries and critical comparisons.

Blog #02 Greek and Roman Art
Many times, when a person admires or respects something of another person's, they just can't help but create something similar for themselves. This idea carries over into cultures, as well, like that of Rome and Greece. When it came to art, the Greeks were extremely inventive and respected. So much so, in fact, that the Romans did not see a point in creating a whole new kind of art for themselves, when they could simply borrow that of the Greeks, who had already done the job so well. However, along with many similarities between the art of these two cultures, there were also some differences, due to Romans adding onto or altering certain aspects of the basic Greek formula.

Blog # 01 - Ancient Art
We all know that Ancient Art is historic art. From the word itself; a history. Ancient art form as prehistoric art. Started from stone age, as paleolithic and neolithic period. People in this century use the style of realism and naturalism, by the use of what they can get from their surroundings. As we thought, their using this styles to represent their respect and value their god and goddesses. They represent us how life can be so easy without technology and more.
For me, the course of Multimedia Art is similar to Fine Arts. Though, we Multimedia students practically more on technology and modern devices. It influence the Multimedia Art as a modern Ancient Art. Where Ancient Art is sought of eyes and its natural at realistic. Multimedia Art where is advance and modern, especially it is in vogue. Like in gadgets and everything that where we use technology is a part of Multimedia Art.

Week (5)Five: "Poverty"
"Poverty is the worst form of violence." - Mahatma Gandhi
The Philippines have been suffering from poverty problem and it continues to exist until today.
The economic problem of Philippine government persists to surface in the society and it is sometime very tiresome to imagine. It gives too much headache not just to the Philippine government but also to the whole Filipino people.
Well, maybe people are the reasons too why they are suffering from poverty. Because here in the Philippines not all people have work. Almost 70% of the Filipinos have no work. Because there are many Filipino who didn't even finished high school. Some don't have money to support their needs in school.
Instead of going to school, children on streets are already working in their young age..
..bullying students; thats why their afraid to go to school.
..drug addiction of the many teenagers nowadays.

Last friday, August 26 2011 is the celebration of what we call "Buwan ng Wika" day. Im very glad that almost everybody in our section MMA 1-1, help preparing the booth. It was a success event.
We all know that every month of august we always celebrate our national language. It is a tradition for us Filipino's to give value to our own language.
Nowadays, it seems that not all Filipino know how to speak tagalog correctly despite of deep meaning and pronunciation. And because we use it infrequenty.
For me, it's not all about the language thou, the belief of other foreign countries that Filipino's really have this Filipino Traits. Like; Warm, Friendly, Intimate people, Caring, Sharing, Family Centered, Highly Spiritual, Amor Propio, Euphemism, Hospitaly, Respect for elders, Sensitivity to personal affront.
