Activity 2.1.1: Art Exploration Journal

Choose one example from each form of art (visual, performing, and literary) and write a 300-word reflection on why it stands out to you. Describe its unique features and the emotions it evokes.
Reflection on "Quiet Morning"
The digital painting titled Quiet Morning immediately stands out through its serene beauty and masterful composition. It captures a tranquil moment in nature—a lone figure standing in the midst of a quiet forest, gazing toward a majestic waterfall cascading down a towering mountain. This visual evokes a deep sense of peace, solitude, and introspection.
One of the most striking features of this artwork is its use of color. The artist employs soft blues, greens, and muted grays, which create a cool and calming palette. These tones convey the freshness of morning and the stillness often found in the early hours of the day. The contrast between the dark silhouettes of the foreground trees and the misty, sunlit background draws the eye naturally toward the waterfall, which becomes the focal point of the scene.
The lone figure at the bottom of the image adds an emotional layer. Small in scale compared to the towering landscape, the figure represents humility in the face of nature’s grandeur. It invites the viewer to step into the scene and reflect on their own place in the world. The trail leading toward the waterfall evokes a sense of journey and wonder—symbolic of exploration, not only of the natural world but also of the self.
Emotionally, Quiet Morning evokes stillness, awe, and reflection. It reminds us of the importance of slowing down, of taking time to be present in our surroundings. In an age filled with noise and rush, this image offers a visual escape to simplicity and silence.
In sum, Quiet Morning stands out for its elegant minimalism, evocative mood, and the way it captures the essence of nature’s quiet power. It leaves a lasting impression—one of calm, clarity, and gentle inspiration.

ACTIVITY 1.1.1 Personal Reflection

 Write a 500 word reflective journal entry on how a particular form of art (MUSIC, PAINTING, DANCE, LITERATURE) has impacted your life. Describe the emotions it evoked and the insight you gained from the experience.     I want to reflect on how the Qur'an, specially the Surah (Al-Qadr and Ash-sharh), has impacted to me. This surah has become one of my sources of comfort, guidance, and inspiration. Every time I hear or read the recitation of Surah (Al-Qadr/ Ash-sharh), I feel a sense of peace and silence. This is because every time the ayahs are recited, I am amazed and touched, and my Tired disappears, making my feelings lighter whenever I hear the ayahs. Sometimes, when I face challenges in life, my worries suddenly disappear. Another thing that resonates with me is the message of hope and guidance that this ayah conveys. In this world we live in, which can seem dark and uncertain, reading the ayah reminds me that Allah is always with me, giving me hope and protection....

Activity 4.1 Art Practice

Activity 4.1 ART PRACTICE Select an artwork from a local artists or a famous piece ( The storm on the sea of Galilee) Apply the Feldman model of art criticism to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate the artwork. ---- Let’s apply the Feldman Model of Art Criticism to The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt van Rijn (1633). This painting is one of Rembrandt’s most dramatic works and was stolen in the infamous 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. 1. Description (What do you see?) In this painting, a small fishing boat struggles in the midst of a violent sea storm. The boat is tilted dramatically as giant waves crash over it. Thirteen men—Jesus and His twelve disciples—are seen reacting in various ways: some panic, one is vomiting, others try to stabilize the sails, and one man appears calm, likely representing Jesus. The sky is ominous, with dark clouds dominating the upper half of the canvas. There's a strong contrast between light and shadow. 2. Analysis (How is th...
