pleasure. Art being an organization of educational experiences that help us grow


us a society and help preserve the environment we live in and is done by with
the aid of materials to meet human needs in the most pleasing, helpful, and
satisfactory enjoyment of life. Art is not nature; art is made by man.
 Arts’ greatest achievement is that it created a permanent impression of the
passing scene, just like how the freshness of the living plant can be captured and
preserved in the canvass of the artist. Art occupies both space and time, all
classification of forms; the form and content of a work of art being inseparable
and by that, art merely extends from beyond the subject matter.

ARTS, RELIGION AND LIFE

 First art form introduced by Spanish friars in the Philippines were religious in
nature (saints or santos)
o Art is also found in the architecture of religious structures (ex.
Agustin Church in Intramuros Manila, Miag-ao Church in Iloilo
o Anting-anting or amulets are medals with mystic symbols that is
believed to contain supernatural powers
 Pottery: most ancient folk arts of the Philippines ex. Manununggul jar
excavated in Plawan in 1953
 Weaving: using backs-trap loom weaving method, blankets and clothing
especially in Northern Luzon and Southern Mindanao are crafted out of this
art form ex. T’nalak abaca weaving cloth of the T’boli using ikat method
 Wood Carving: used during important rituals like planting, harvesting,
worship and healing ex. Anito figure called bul-ulin Cordillera
 Various art forms of the Spaniards’ religious arts: palaspas (Lenten), taka
(papiermache animals in Paete, Laguna), kiping (rice leaf wafers), and
sarimanok (brass artwork).

of the middle class ex. Illustrados- composed of rich hacienderos and
merchants commissioned painters to do a portrait of their very own family
 Miniaturismo or miniaturist style is the artists’ attack on painting detailed
portraits of well-to-do families. Ex. InocenciaFranciaby Antonio Malantic

aspiration for a free, just and sovereign society called as social realists who
create images of protests against injustices and suppression of human rights
ex. Guillermo Tolentino’s The Bonifacio Monument; Nonoy Marcelo’s ikabod,
private collection of comic strips; Neil Dolorican’s painting of Manggagawa

ARTS, GEOGRAPHY AND TECHNOLOGY

 Use of natural archipelagic forms and complex concepts of modern art to


produce an art piece: ex. Woodcut yingyan sun by Rodolfo Paras-Perez
 Intercultural contacts of people bonded by art: ex. people in Iloilo and Cebu
 Technological inspirations: ex. Gadgets, geometric industrial structure
 Advocacies: ex. Step-Up movie
 Computer animation and graphics: Toy Story (1995), Up (2009), Hunger
Games (2012)

The elements of art are a commonly used group of aspects of a work of art used in
teaching and analysis, in combination with the principles of art, objects placed at a
distances are rendered with less details, clarity, and intensity than the closer ones.
Three-dimensional space work is created with the help of shading, which gives it a
feeling of depth. Space can also be created by overlapping objects

Texture
The texture is the quality of a surface or the way any work of art is represented. Lines
and shading can be used to create different textures as well. For example, if one is
portraying certain fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it
closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey. The texture is the quality of a
surface or the way any work of art is represented. There are three kinds of basic
textures, actual, simulated and the invented texture. Lines and shading can be used to
create different textures as well. For example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one
needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it closely resembles what the artist
is trying to convey.

Form
Form may be created by the forming of two or more shapes or as three-dimensional
shape (cube, pyramid, sphere, etc.). It may be enhanced by tone, texture and colour.
Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. Examples of
these are sculpture, theatre play and figurines. A form always has three dimensions;
length, width and height. Examples of such would be cubes, pyramids, spheres or even
cylinders. Therefore, form has depth as well as height. Sculptures and decorative arts
serve as good examples for form.

Space
Space is the area provided for a particular purpose. It may have two dimensions (length
and width), such as a floor, or it may have three dimensions (length, width, and
height). Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to
the distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. There are two
types of space: positive and negative space. Positive space refers to the space of a
shape representing the subject matter. Negative space refers to the space around and
between the subject matter. Space is the creation of visual perspective; this gives the
illusion of depth. Space can also mean the way an artist uses the area within the picture
plane. Real space is actually three-dimensional. The way any artist uses the

combination of positive and negative space can have a great effect on his/her entire
composition. The right use of space can go a long way in creating a bigger impact with
even minimum use of lines. Three-dimensional space can be created with the help of
shading and perspective to give a feeling of depth.

Line
Line is most easily defined as a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the
path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains
to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most
often used to define shape in two-dimensional work. Implied line is the path that the
viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colours, and form along a path, but may not be
continuous or physically connected, such as the line created by a dancer's arms, torso,
and legs when performing an arabesque. This is a mark that is made on a surface.
Lines are the first element of art and are continuous marks that are made on any
surface with a moving point. A line can to used to express various things or feelings; it
can be used to show various moods or anything abstract. Lines can be used in various
ways to create different compositions. A horizontal or a vertical line can be used to
express various things in different ways, such as, only vertical lines can be used to
express an orderly feeling where are only horizontal lines can give a feeling of peace
and stillness. Diagonal lines are used to create feelings of movement. It is up to the
artist how he/she conveys it, in the best way possible through the use of lines. (A ship
sailing a stormy sea will need diagonal lines to represent movement.)

Shape
Shape pertains to the use of areas in two dimensional space that can be defined by
edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be geometric
(e.g.: square, circle, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle,
blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) in nature. Shapes are defined by other elements of art:
Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form. A shape always has two dimensions, length as
well as width. This is represented as an enclosed area that is defined by color, value,
space, texture and form. When lines form together, they form shapes. Shapes can be
geometrical, rectangles, ovals and squares.

Color
Color pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design. Defined as primary colors (red,
yellow, blue) which cannot be mixed in pigment from other hues, secondary colors
(green, orange, purple) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors.
Further combinations of primary and secondary colors create tertiary (and more)
hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations in Value; other tertiary colors
are derived by mixing either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color. e.g. Red
+ White = Pink. Color always has three characteristics, which are hue, value and the
intensity. Hue means the shades (Red, yellow or pink), value refers to the lightness or
the darkness and intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of the work of art.

Hue (another word for color)- Specifically, color is light, and light is composed of many
colors—those we see are the colors of the visual spectrum

Intensity (brightness)- brightness or dullness of a hue

Chroma: How pure a hue is in relation to gray

Luminance / Value: A measure of the amount of light reflected from a hue. Those
hues with a high content of white have a higher luminance or value

Shade and tint are terms that refer to a variation of a hue.

Shade: A hue produced by the addition of black.

Tint: A hue produced by the addition of white.

Value (lightness or darkness).

THE COLOR WHEEL


• The color wheel can be divided into ranges that are visually active or passive.

• When one considers the colors the artist uses, one is considering the PALLETTE,
or the range of hues.
• If an artist chooses to use all shades of one color from dark to light, the work is
MONOCHROMATIC.
• If the artist chooses a variety of hues, the work is POLYCHROMATIC.

COLOR Combination

We determine whether or not we are successful by critically assessing the visual


balance and harmony of the final composition—balance and harmony are achieved by
the visual contrast that exists between color combinations

Value
Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork.
Black-and-white.The value refers to the changes in the base color. This is also
determined by how much light is reflected or absorbed by any surface. Values mean the
various intensities of the tones or colors. This could be the highlights, midtones or even
shadows in any painting or sculpture.

Foundation of Art Education

Art – usually refer to the product of some combination of skill, training,


and observation.
- Is the disciplined activity of man limited to a skill of painting, drawing,
sculpture, and architecture.
- Apply to human skill in its broadest sense – for example, to writing, to
composing and performing music, to acting, or photography.
- Expression of creativity; of pleasure in dexterity; invention and the
ingenious use of natural materials by man.

 Methods of Presenting the Style in Art

1. Realism – the artist attempts to portray the subject as it is. He describes as


accurately and honestly as possible what is observed through the senses.
2. Abstraction – used when the artist becomes so interested in one phase of
scene or situation that he does not show the subject at all as an objective
reality, but only idea, or his feeling about it. Abstraction subjects can also be
presented in many ways.
 Mangling – the subjects are cut, lacerated, mutilated or hacked with
repeated blows.
 Cubism – stresses abstract form through the use of a cone, cylinder, or
sphere at the expense of other pictorial elements.
 Suprematism – is a peculiar abstraction where structure is
subordinated to surface arrangement.
 Expressionism – is an art from cubism which is a development of
decorative, individualistic and personal expressiveness.
3. Distortion – the subject is misshapen condition, or the regular shape is
twisted out.
4. Elongation – the subject is being lengthened, a protraction or an extension.
5. Symbolism – can be simply an emblem or sign like a $ to represent a dollar, a
lamb to represent meekness, a cross to represent a church, etc. It is the
practice of the artist where art production represents ideas, symbols, thus
giving meanings to objects, events, and conditions.
6. Fauvism – artists tried to paint pictures of comfort, joy or pleasure using
bright primary colors. To fauve, a tree trunk need not be brown. It could be
bright red, purple, or any other color.
7. Futurism – the artist wanted their works to capture the speed and force of
modern industrial society. Their paintings glorified the mechanical energy of
modern life. E.g. automobile, airplanes, railroad train, etc.
8. Surrealism – the subject of this kind attempt to show what is inside a
person’s mind as well as the appearances of his or her outside world. Using
this method, the surrealists declare that a magical world – more beautiful
than the real one – can be created in art and literature. Much of the beauty
sought by surrealist is violent and cruel.

Importance…..
Art is importance to life and education. It affects much of the daily life of
all of us. The following are the reasons why art is important to our life and
education:

1. Art is quality of all experience.


2. Art is a daily experience.
3. Art is universal experience.
4. Art intensifies the learning situation.
5. Art vivifies learning.
6. Art enriches learning.
7. Art integrates learning.
8. Art is the organizing factor in experience.

 Elements of Visual Art

1. Line – Lines is the simplest, most primitive, and most universal means for
creating visual art. Lines are straight and curved. Straight lines are horizontal,
vertical, or diagonal.
Horizontal line – the line of rest and quiet, relaxation and contemplation. A long
horizontal line gives a sense of infinity that is not easily obtained in any other
way.
Vertical line - pointed, balanced, forceful, and dynamic.
Diagonal line – the line of action which connotes confusion, disturbance,
lightning, battle, war, and sudden death.
Curved lines – show action and life and energy. Curved line in the arts is
universal and is most shown in dance.
2. Value (light or dark) – name given to relative degrees of light, or that it indicates
the degree of luminosity --- that is the present or absence of light. Values in
painting are fixed while in architecture and sculpture, value change with the
light. In studying the values of painting, we notice first the value tone. If the
picture is predominantly light, then their value tone is light. When the picture is
predominantly dark, the value tone is dark.
3. Light and Shadow – sometimes known as chiaroscuro (Italian word for “light and
dark”) should be distinguished from value. Light and shadow is a means of
modeling a figure in depth, a means of articulating the form.
4. Color – colors may be warm or cold, advancing or retreating, light of heavy,
attractive or repulsive, in tension or in suspension.
Three qualities or attributes of color: hue, value, and intensity.
Hue – quality by which we distinguish one color from another.
Primary hues (red, blue, yellow)
Secondary hues (green, violet, orange) – mixing of the primary hues
5. Volume – is often called “solidity”. It is the quality of an object, which enables us
to know that it, has thickness as well as length and breath. If we use only our
eyes, we perceive volume primarily in two ways.
- Contour lines, that is, by outlines or shapes of objects.
- Surface lights and shadows.
Painting is two-dimensional, it can only suggest volume. The shadows and
contour lines are painted in and do not change.
Sculpture and Architecture are in three dimensions: outlines and the shadows
change with each shift in the position of the person viewing them.
6. Space – the two arts in which space is of great importance are architecture and
painting. Architecture is primarily an art of space. Its uses space as one of its
elements as we can see in the exterior of a building and if we are within the
building we see it as enclosing space.
Painting does not deal with space directly as architecture does. It can only
represent space on a two-dimensional surface. The most obvious techniques for
creating space in painting are the various types of perspective.

 Mediums of Visual Arts

Architecture – the materials native to the place where the building is erected have
determined the material of which a building is made.
 Greece – marble was easily available, thus many building were made
of marble.
 Rome – concrete was used because were great quantities of an earth
called “pouzolona” which, when mixed with lime, made a hard and
enduring cement.
Throughout Europe limestone was easily available, and the cathedrals
were built of limestone.
 Philippines – since limestone is abundant, Catholic churches were also
made of limestone.

 Sculpture – Two most commonly used for sculpture are stone and metal. Stone
is durable. It resists weather, fire and all ordinary hazards but it is heavy and
expensive. Of the stones marble is the most beautiful. Of the metals, the one
most commonly used traditionally was bronze. Early Philippine sculpture before
the coming of the Spaniard had a striking similarity with the early Egyptian
sculpture characterized by frontal nudity.
“Bul-ol” – means fertility in Ifugao and considered as an Ifugao granary
god. It is a wooden sculpture in human form to assure bountiful harvest for the
natives.
“Okkir” – a carving brought by the early Arab and Russians missionaries to
the Philippines. It means “to carve” but it also refers to design.

 Woodcarving-comes in ornamental form in the houses of the Maranaos like that


of the “torogan” which features the “panolong” and extended beam carved with
the Sarimanok or Naga design. Paete, Laguna has gained the reputation of being
the home of the best wood sculpture because of each Paete artist has his own
unique style. Subjects of the art works were people captured in woodwork doing
their daily life activities.
The Philippine geographical location motivated the residents in different islands
to engage in boat making. Guimaras island in Western Visayas and inhabitants
from Sibutu Island have known as Philippine’s best boat makers and they used
this for transportation and livelihood. In the Island of Sibutu the expert boat
making are called “Tukang”. Tourist called the inhabitants of the island “The
Vikings of Sulu” its because of their superior boatbuilding knack and the natives
seafaring qualities.
Philippine woodcraft comes in the form of figurines, table centerpieces, wall
decors, cartoon characters, relief panels, and hand carved furniture.

 Jewelry making in the Philippines can be traced from the ancient beads which is
of many types such as glass and stones beads which was excavated from burial
caves in Palawan and dated more than 2000 years ago.

 Ceramics was used to mean the art of pottery making because of the abundant
of clay in the Philippines, however, today it has broadened its scope to include all
silicate industries or those that derived from an organic compound from the
reaction of acid and alcohol. The word ceramics was derived from the Greek
word “keramos” meaning a potter; it was also derived from Sanskrit word
meaning “to burn”.

The Arts of the Philippines


The art in the Philippines reflect a society with diverse cultural influences and
traditions.
 Literature – developed primarily in the oral tradition in poetic and narrative
forms. Epic poems, legends, proverbs, songs, and riddles were passed from
generation to generation through oral recitation and incantation in the various
languages and dialects of the islands.
 Epics- was chanted in episodic segments during a variety of social rituals. One
common theme of the epics is a hero who is aided by benevolent spirits. The
epics that have survived are important records of the ancient customs of tribal
society before the arrival of Islam and Christianity.
 Art and Architecture – The Daoist (Taoist) temple is in Cebu Island, in the
Philippines. The Chinese inhabitants have influenced many economic and social
elements of the Philippine culture. Daoism, a philosophical and religious system,
was introduced to the country by the Chinese. Many of the art and architecture
of the Philippines were strongly influenced by the Spaniard. Most art emphasized
religious iconography. The church commissioned local craftspeople, often skilled
Chinese artisans, to construct provincial stone churches with bas-relief sculpture
and carve “santos”, or statues of saint, and other devotional icons in wood and
ivory.
Philippine painters began to explore secular themes in the mis-1800s.
Juan Luna and Felix Resurrection Hidalgo produced works in the romantic
and early impressionist styles, achieving recognition in Europe.
1900s – Fernando Amorsolo, Fabian de la Rosa, and Jorge Pineda,
produced romanticized landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits.
1920s – VictorioEdades , an American trained painter, infused modernism
into the Philippine art world.
 Carlos Francisco, Arturo Luz, Anita Magsaysay-Ho, Vicente Manansala,
and Hernando Ocampo (Filipino painters who were influenced by
American and European modernism
 Lee Aguinaldo and FernadoZobel de Ayala – achieved international
recognition in the 1960s and 1970s
Sculpture took on secular themes in the early 1900s.
o Guillermo Tolentino – Filipino-American trained sculptor who
studied classical sculpture in Rome.
o Napoleon Abueva – pioneered modernism sculpture in the
Philippines in 1950s.
o Eduardo Castillo – whose large welded-metal sculptures are
displayed in Manila’s Memorial Park
o Salomon Saprid – noted for his expressionist series of mythical
figures titled Tikbalang.
o Abdulmari Imao – who produced contemporary interpretations of
traditional Muslim designs.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Talent is the adequate aptitude or ability in one direction, above the normal
average.
Talent selection is short term, such as picking a team that will compete in a
tournament next month.
Talent detection can be defined as the prediction of future performance of
youngsters or the identification of young players that will achieve success at national or
international levels.
Within the concept of Talent ID there are two basic categories:
Identifying talent in children that are not currently playing and
attracting them to the game.
Identifying talent among children that already play and investing more
time, attention and money in their development.

There are three basic types of talent:


General motor talent
Sports talent
Sports specific talent

The main components of Talent ID can be divided into the following categories:
Physiological
Physical
Psychological
Technical/Tactical

PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TALENT ID

Physiological tests can be used to measure height, weight, arm span, body
somatotype and other anthropometric/biometric elements.
These measurements could also be useful if they help to predict certain
physiological characteristics of the child. If it can be predicted that the child will be
exceptionally small or heavy, one could assume that tennis, which requires strength
without a lot of weight, would not be the best sport for that particular individual.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF TALENT ID

This may be useful in a negative sense, in that the children who fall short of
expected motor qualities in their age range may be not be selected for intensive
training or competition. In addition, the situation could occur that there is a selection
decision to be mad between two players and the one with greater physical skills may be
the better choice.
In the younger age groups (10 and 12 & under) playing experience, technical skills and
biological maturity are the factors that primarily affect results. As the player reaches 13
or 14 years old, motor abilities specific to tennis, particularly reaction speed and agility,
become much more important in determining performance. From around 16 (girls
usually earlier), factors such strength, power, other forms of speed, and anaerobic
endurance play an increasingly important role in the performance of the player.
Any battery of tests for young players should include evaluating skills such as
running, jumping, throwing, catching, coordination, specific speed, agility, power,
flexibility, endurance and the like.
All physical tests can only be meaningful if used to compare players of a very
specific age group, or, preferably, once physical maturity has been reached. Once
maturity has been reached, the playing field can be considered level. Otherwise the
results are useless.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TALENT ID

Sports psychologists can give tests to children. These tests can give insight into
areas such as self-confidence, self-esteem, personality or motivation. However, even
though some people have a greater predisposition towards developing mental
toughness needed, these skills can be developed significantly in all players. Perhaps the
most important mental characteristics to play well are drive and a desire to compete.
Players with these attributes will seek out every possible opportunity to compete and
practice their skills. These players are intrinsically motivated. Other important
psychological characteristics include confidence, ability to concentrate and persistence,
even in the face of failure. Coaches can observe some of these psychological traits
when the players are quite young. For example, does the player spend a good deal of
time hitting on his/her own against a backboard outside of the training session? As the
player develops, evaluation of the player’s work ethic, quality of work, enjoyment,
poise, concentration abilities and other factor is an on-going process.

TECHNICAL/TACTICAL ASPECTS OF TALENT ID

The technical/tactical aspects of Talent ID are probably the most important and
the ones that coaches are best equipped to evaluate.
Recognizing tactical situations on court and good decision making regardless of
the outcome of the points are important. The ability to learn new skills quickly is an
indication of talent in the technical/tactical area. Some players are gifted and others are
not so gifted. It is often the not so gifted that become better players in the long run.
Some youngsters that have problems mastering stroke techniques in the first one or
two years, but were persistent, enjoyed more success later on. The reason is that they
learned the benefits of hard work and determination. In this case, a mental attribute,
persistence, is more important than early talent.

Physical Fitness Test and Components


Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a standardized test prepared by BPESS or also known as Bureau of
Physical Education and School Sports. The purpose of the test is to determine your over-all fitness level.
There are two test to be taken, one is what we called PRE- TEST which is usually administered at the
beginning of the school year and POST TEST will be done one month before the school year ends. The
result of the test will serve as the basis for providing continuous activities/ trainings in order to maintain
one’s fitness.
The following are the physical fitness test and components.
Fitness Test Fitness Components
1. 3 minute step test- Cardiovascular Endurance
2. 30 seconds curl up- Abdominal Strength
3. Bent knee push up (Girls)- Body Strength (Upper)
Push up ( Boys)- Arm strength and endurance
4. 50 m sprint- Speed
5. Standing Long Jump- Leg power
6. Sit and Reach - Flexibility of the trunk
SPORTS and RECREATION:

 Athletics- Athletics is an exclusive collection of sporting events that involve


competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types
of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running,
and race walking. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for
expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most commonly competed
sports in the world. Athletics is mostly an individual sport, with the exception
of relay races and competitions which combine athletes' performances for a team
score, such as cross country.
 Swimming- Swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times; the earliest
recording of swimming dates back to Stone Age paintings from around 7,000
years ago. In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established.
These have been relatively stable over the last 30–40 years with minor
improvements. The four main strokes in swimming are: Freestyle(free),
Breaststroke(breast), Backstroke(back), Butterfly(fly)
 Arnis- Eskrima, Arnis and (in the West) Kali are umbrella terms for the
traditional martial arts of the Philippines that emphasize weapon-based
fightingwith sticks, knives and other bladed weapons, and various improvised
weapons. It also includes hand-to-hand combat and weapon disarming
techniques. For all intents and purposes, eskrima, arnis and kali all refer to the
same family of Filipino weapon-based martial arts and fighting systems.
In Luzon they may go by the name of arnis, arnis de
mano, sinawali, pagkalikali, pananandata (use of
weapons), didya, kabaroan (blade usage) and kaliradman. In the Visayas and
Mindanao, these martial arts have been referred to
as eskrima, kaliand kalirongan. Kuntaw and silat are separate martial arts that
have been practiced in the islands.
 Badminton- Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players
(singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves
of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking
a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their
opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once
before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the
floor, or if a fault has been called by either the umpire or service judge or, in
their absence, the offending player, at any time during the rally.
 Table Tennis- Table Tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or
four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis
rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the
initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on
their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side.
Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is
fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties

of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to
great advantage.
 Tennis- Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or
between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a
racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net
into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a
way that the opponent is not able to play a good return. Tennis is
an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages.
 Basketball- Basketball is a team sport, the objective being to shoot a ball through
a basket horizontally positioned to score points while following a set of rules.
Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a
basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and
widely viewed sports.
 Volleyball- Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are
separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the
other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official
program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964. The complete rules are
extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams
begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with
a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net,
and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be
grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but
individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first
two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back
over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from
being grounded in their court. The rally continues, with each team allowed as
many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill,
grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team
commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a
point, and serves the ball to start the next rally.
 Softball- Softball is a variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller
field. Invented in 1888 in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times
called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground, softbund ball, kitten ball, and,
because it was also played by women, ladies' baseball. The namesoftball was
given to the game in 1926. A tournament (1933) at the Chicago World's Fair
spurred interest in the game. The Amateur Softball Association of America
(founded 1933) governs the game in the United States and sponsors annual
sectional and World Series championships. TheInternational Softball
Federation regulates rules of play in more than 110 countries, including the
United States and Canada. Women's fast-pitch softball became an Olympic sport
in 1996, but it (and baseball) was dropped in 2005 from the 2012 games.
Despite the name, the ball used is not soft. It is about 12 in. (30 cm) in
circumference (sometimes larger for slow-pitch), which is 3 in. (8 cm) larger than
a baseball. The infield in softball is smaller than in baseball; each base is 60 ft
(18 m) from the next, as opposed to baseball's 90 ft. (27 m). There are two
types of softball: in the most common, slow-pitch softball, the ball, sometimes
larger than the standard 12 in, must arch on its path to the batter, 10 players
make up a team, and bunting and stealing are prohibited; in fast-pitch softball
the pitch is fast, there are 9 players on a team, and bunting and stealing are
permitted. Softball rules vary somewhat from those of baseball. Two major
differences are that the ball must be pitched underhand—from 46 ft. (14 m) for
men or 43 ft. (12 m) for women as compared with 60.5 ft. (18.4 m) in baseball—
and that seven innings instead of nine constitute a regulation game.
 Baseball- Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine
players. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching
a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a 90-foot diamond. Players on
the batting team take turns hitting against thepitcher of the fielding team, which
tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways.

Iloilo City

A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via
a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding
whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team
constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team
with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
 Futsal- Futsal (Portuguese pronunciation: [futˈsaw]) is a variant of association
football that is played on a smaller pitch and mainly played indoors. Its name is
a portmanteau of the Portuguese futebol de salão, which can be translated as
"hall football" or "indoor football". During the sport's second world
championships held in Madrid in 1985, the name fútbol Sala was used. Since
then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal.
Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is
the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms
of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines;
walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less
bounce than a regular football.The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on
improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in
small spaces.
 Chess- Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a
square checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid.
It is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people
worldwide at home, in clubs, online, by correspondence, and intournaments.
Each player begins the game with sixteen pieces: one king, one queen,
two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece
types moves differently. Pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's
pieces, with the objective to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under
an inescapable threat of capture. In addition to checkmate, the game can be
won by the voluntary resignation of the opponent, which typically occurs when
too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also
result in a draw in several ways, where neither player wins. The course of the
game is divided into three phases: opening, middlegame, and endgame.
 Domino- Dominoes (or dominos) generally refers to the collective gaming pieces
making up a domino set (sometimes called a deck or pack) or to the subcategory
of tile games played with domino pieces. In the area of
mathematical tilings and polyominoes, the word domino often refers to
anyrectangle formed from joining two congruent squares edge to edge. The
traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially
nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a
rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is
marked with a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The backs of the
dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common
design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice,
in that a variety of games can be played with a set.
 Chinese checkers-Chinese checkers is a strategy board game which can be
played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with
partners.The game is a modern and simplified variation of Halma.The objective is
to be first to race one's pieces across the hexagram-shaped gameboard into
"home"—the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner—using single-step
moves or moves which jump over other pieces. Others keep playing to establish
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and last place finishers.Like other skill-based games, Chinese
checkers involves strategy. The rules are simple, however, so even young
children can play.
 Hiking- Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural
environments, often in mountainous or other scenic terrain. People often hike
on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking
organizations worldwide. The health benefits of different types of hiking have
been confirmed in studies. Some of the health benefits of hiking include, but are
not limited to, losing excess weight, decreasing hypertension, and improving

mental health. The word hiking is understood in all English-speaking countries,


but there are differences in usage.
 Biking- or Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use
of bicycles for transport, recreation, or for sport. Persons engaged in cycling are
cyclists or bicyclists. Apart from ordinary two-wheeled bicycles, cycling also
includes riding unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, and other similar human-
powered vehicles (HPVs).
 Orienteering-Orienteering is a family of sports that requires navigational skills
using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually
unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed. Participants are given a
topographical map, usually a specially prepared orienteering map, which they
use to find control points. Originally a training exercise in land navigation for
military officers, orienteering has developed many variations. Among these, the
oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering. For the purposes of this article,
foot orienteering serves as a point of departure for discussion of all other
variations, but basically any sport that involves racing against a clock and
requires navigation using a map is a type of orienteering.
 Camping- Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants (known
as campers) leave urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy
nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite.
Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive
structure, or no shelter at all. In many parts of the world, camping refers
exclusively to the use of tents or similar portable structures. Camping as a
recreational activity became popular in the early 20th century. Campers
frequent national or state parks, other publicly owned natural areas, and
privately owned campgrounds. Camping is a key part of many youth
organizations around the world, such asscouting. It is used to teach self-reliance
and teamwork.

-describes changes in different aspects of growth that happens to boys and girls during
puberty: Puberty is the process of physical changes by which a child's body matures
into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction to enable fertilization. It is initiated
by hormonal signals from thebrain to the gonads; the ovaries in a girl, the testes in a
boy. In response to the signals, the gonads produce hormones that stimulate libido and
the growth, function, and transformation of
thebrain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sexual organs. Physical
growth—height and weight—accelerates in the first half of puberty and is completed
when the child has developed an adult body. Until the maturation of their reproductive
capabilities, the pre-pubertal, physical differences between boys and girls are
the genitalia, the penis and the vagina.
On average, girls begin puberty at ages 10-11; boys at ages 11-12. Girls usually
complete puberty by ages 15–17, while boys usually complete puberty by ages 16–17.
The major landmark of puberty for females is menarche, the onset of menstruation,
which occurs on average between ages 12-13; for males, it is the first ejaculation,

which occurs on average at age 13. In the 21st century, the average age at which
children, especially girls, reach puberty is lower compared to the 19th century, when it
was 15 for girls and 16 for boys. This can be due to any number of factors, including
improved nutrition resulting in rapid body growth, increased weight and fat
deposition,[13] or exposure to endocrine disruptors such as xenoestrogens, which can at
times be due to food consumption or other environmental factors. Puberty which starts
earlier than usual is known as precocious puberty. Puberty which starts later than usual
is known as delayed puberty.
Notable among the morphologic changes in size, shape, composition, and
functioning of the pubertal body, is the development of secondary sex characteristics,
the "filling in" of the child's body; from girl to woman, from boy to man. Derived from
the Latin puberatum (age of maturity), the word puberty describes the physical changes
to sexual maturation, not the psychosocial and cultural maturation denoted by the term
"adolescent development" in Western culture, wherein adolescence is the period of
mental transition from childhood to adulthood, which overlaps much of the body's
period of puberty.
Although there is a wide range of normal ages, girls typically begin the process
of puberty at age 10 or 11; boys at ages 11-12.[1][2][3] Girls usually complete puberty by
ages 15–17, while boys usually complete puberty by ages 16–17. Any increase in height
beyond the post-pubertal age is uncommon. Girls attain reproductive maturity about 4
years after the first physical changes of puberty appear. In contrast, boys accelerate
more slowly but continue to grow for about 6 years after the first visible pubertal
changes.
For boys, an androgen called testosterone is the principal sex hormone. While
testosterone produces all boys' changes characterized asvirilization, a substantial
product of testosterone metabolism in males is estradiol. The conversion of
testosterone to estradiol depends on the amount of body fat and estradiol levels in boys
are typically much lower than in girls. The male "growth spurt" also begins later,
accelerates more slowly, and lasts longer before the epiphyses fuse. Although boys are
on average 2 cm shorter than girls before puberty begins, adult men are on average
about 13 cm (5.2 inches) taller than women. Most of this sex difference in adult heights
is attributable to a later onset of the growth spurt and a slower progression to
completion, a direct result of the later rise and lower adult male levels of estradiol.[18]
The hormone that dominates female development is an estrogen called estradiol. While
estradiol promotes growth of breasts and uterus, it is also the principal hormone driving
the pubertal growth spurt and epiphyseal maturation and closure.[19] Estradiol levels
rise earlier and reach higher levels in women than in men.
The hormonal maturation of females is considerably more complicated than in boys.
The main steroid hormones, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone as well
as prolactin play important physiological functions in puberty. Gonadal steroidgenesis in
girls starts with production of testosterone which is typically quickly converted to
estradiol inside the ovaries. However the rate of conversion from testosterone to
estradiol (driven by FSH/LH balance) during early puberty is highly individual, resulting
in very diverse development patterns of secondary sexual characteristics. Production of
progesterone in the ovaries begins with the development of ovulatory cycles in girls
(during the lutheal phase of the cycle), before puberty low levels of progesterone are
produced in the adrenal glands of both boys and girls.

Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through Universal
Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given the means to slowly
adjust to formal education.

Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten have better completion
rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based Kindergarten
program are better prepared, for primary education.

Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning and for
the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years,
are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult
size..[Ref: K to 12 Toolkit]

In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through
games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue.

Making the Curriculum Re levant to Lea rners (C ontextualizat ion and Enhance ment)

Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories,


and illustrations are based on local culture, history, and reality. This makes the lessons
relevant to the learners and easy to understand.

Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through continuity
and consistency across all levels and subjects.

Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change


Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the
enhanced curriculum.
Building Prof iciency through Lan guage ( Mother Tongue- Based Multilingua l Education)

Students are able to learn best


through their first language, their Mother Tongue (MT). Twelve (12) MT languages have
been introduced for SY 2012-2013: Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano, Chabacano,
Hiligaynon, Iloko, Kapampangan, Maguindanaoan, Meranao, Pangasinense, Tagalog,
and Waray. Other local languages will be added in succeeding school years.

Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino are taught as subjects starting
Grade 1, with a focus on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6, English and Filipino are
gradually introduced as languages of instruction. Both will become primary languages of
instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS).

After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her Mother Tongue. Learning in Mother
Tongue also serves as the foundation for students to learn Filipino and English easily.
Ensuring Integ rated and Sea mle ss Lea rning (Spiral Progre ssion)

Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts through
grade levels in spiral progression. As early as elementary, students gain knowledge in
areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Algebra. This ensures
a mastery of knowledge and skills after each level.

For example, currently in High School, Biology is taught in 2nd Year, Chemistry in 3rd
Year, and Physics in 4th Year. In K to 12, these subjects are connected and integrated
from Grades 7 to 10. This same method is used in other Learning Areas like Math.

Gearing Up for the Future (Senior High School)

Senior High School is two years of specialized upper secondary education; students
may choose a specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school capacity. The
choice of career track will define the content of the subjects a student will take in
Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under either the Core Curriculum or specific
Tracks.

CORE CURRICULUM

There are seven Learning Areas under the Core Curriculum. These are Languages,
Literature, Communication, Mathematics, Philosophy, Natural Sciences, and Social
Sciences. Current content from some General Education subjects are embedded in the
SHS curriculum.

TRACKS

Each student in Senior High School can choose among three tracks: Academic;
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts. The Academic track includes
three strands: Business, Accountancy, Management (BAM); Humanities, Education,
Social Sciences (HESS); and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM).

Students undergo immersion, which may include earn-while-you-learn opportunities, to


provide them relevant exposure and actual experience in their chosen track.

TVET (TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING) NATIONAL CERTIFICATE

After finishing Grade 10, a student can obtain Certificates of Competency (COC) or a
National Certificate Level I (NC I). After finishing a Technical-Vocational-Livelihood track
in Grade 12, a student may obtain a National Certificate Level II (NC II), provided
he/she passes the competency-based assessment of the Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

NC I and NC II improves employability of graduates in fields like Agriculture, Electronics,


and Trade.

MODELING BEST PRACTICES FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

In SY 2012-2013, there are 33 public high schools, public technical-vocational high


schools, and higher education institutions (HEIs) that have implemented Grade 11. This
is a Research and Design (R&D) program to simulate different aspects of Senior High
School in preparation for full nationwide implementation in SY 2016-2017. Modeling
programs offered by these schools are based on students’ interests, community needs,
and their respective capacities.

NURTURING THE HOLISTICALLY DEVELOPED FILIPINO (COLLEGE AND LIVELIHOOD


READINESS, 21ST CENTURY SKILLS)

After going through Kindergarten, the enhanced Elementary and Junior High curriculum,
and a specialized Senior High program, every K to 12 graduate will be ready to go into
different paths – may it be further education, employment, or entrepreneurship.

Every graduate will be equipped with:

1. Information, media and technology skills,


2. Learning and innovation skills,
3. Effective communication skills, and
4. Life and career skills.

Bachelor’s degree.
 Faculty of TVIs and HEIs will be given priority in hiring for the transition period.
 DepEd and Private Education Institutions may also hire practitioners with expertise in the
specialized learning areas offered by the K to 12 Program as part-time teachers.
How will K to 12 affect the college curriculum?

The college General Education Curriculum is being revised. It will have fewer units with
the removal of unnecessary remediation as K to 12 graduates adhere to the College
Readiness Standards. With K to 12, the college curriculum will comprise of a year’s
worth of General Education subjects and at least two years of major subjects.

Will K to 12 change TESDA Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET)


programs?

No. TESDA will continue to offer TVET programs. Students may also be eligible for NC I
and NC II through Junior High School and Senior High School, respectively.

What is my role in supporting this program?

 Be informed. Education shapes our future as Filipinos, it is our duty to be aware of reforms in
basic education that will move our country forward.
 Spread awareness. Tell your family, friends, and networks about the K to12 Program and
help them stay informed.

CURRICULUM

What will happen to special schools such as science high schools, high schools for the arts,
trade schools, etc.?

These schools will remain special schools with an enriched curriculum for Grades 7 to
12.

What will happen to multi-grade teaching?

Multi-grade teaching will continue, and will use the K to 12 curriculum.

The Alternative Learning System (ALS) age requirement is only 16 years old for
the high school equivalency test. Will this change to 18? Students might want to
turn to ALS if they can save two years of formal school education costs.

The ALS is based on the existing 10-year basic education curriculum. When the new
12-year curriculum will be in place, ALS will likewise be revised.

Will K to 12 enhance programs targeted to indigenous people, Muslim learners,


and people with special needs?

Yes, the K to 12 curriculum was designed to address diverse learner needs, and may
be adapted to fit specific learner groups.
Kindergarten

Is Kindergarten a pre-requisite for entering Grade 1?

Yes. Republic Act No. 10157, or the Kindergarten Education Act, institutionalizes
Kindergarten as part of the basic education system and is a pre-requisite for admission
to Grade 1. Public schools will continue to admit children who have not taken
Kindergarten into Grade 1 until SY 2013-2014.

Is there an overlap between the daycare program of the LGUs and DepEd
Kindergarten?

There is no overlap. Daycare centers of the LGUs take care of children aged 4 and
below, whereas the DepEd Kindergarten program is for five-year-old children.

Should schools now prepare permanent records for Kindergarten students?

Yes. Although the assessment of readiness skills of students in Kindergarten is not


academically driven, a good measure of the child’s ability to cope with formal schooling
is needed for future learning interventions.

Who is in charge of Kindergarten teacher compensation? The LGU or DepEd?

 DepEd is the main agency that employs and pays Kindergarten teachers.
 There are LGUs that assist the Kindergarten program and provide honoraria for Kindergarten
teachers.
Will MTB-MLE include other languages in the future?

For SY 2012-2013, 12 Mother Tongue languages are being used for MTB-MLE. More
languages, such as Ivatan, will be added in succeeding years.

Which mother tongue will be used in multi-cultural areas?

 The common language in the area, or lingua franca, shall be used as the medium of
instruction.
 The principle of MTB-MLE is to use the language that learners are most comfortable and
familiar with.

TEACHERS AND DEPED NONTEACHING STAFF


Will teachers be burdened by additional teaching load due to the K to 12
Program?

There will be no additional workload due to the K to 12 Program. The Magna Carta for
Public School Teachers provides that teachers should only teach up to six hours a day.

Will teacher salary increase as a result of the K to 12 Program?

 The K to 12 Program will not result in a teacher salary increase because there will be no
additional teaching load or additional teaching hours.
 Salary increases for other reasons, such as the Salary Standardization Law, inflation,
promotion, and Performance-Based Bonuses (PBB), may apply.
How will teachers be prepared for the K to 12 Program?

 Teachers will be given sufficient in-service training on content and pedagogy to implement
this program. Current DepEd teachers shall be retrained to meet the content and
performance standards of the enhanced K to 12 curriculum. The pre-service education
training for aspiring teachers will also be modified to conform to the requirements of the
program. DepEd, in coordination with CHED, shall ensure that the Teacher Education
curriculum offered in Teacher Education Institutions will meet the necessary quality standards
for new teachers.
 Training of teachers will follow the phased-in introduction of the enhanced curriculum.
How will DepEd prepare its non-teaching staff and officials for smooth transition and
implementation of the K to 12 Program?

 With the broader reform agenda, DepEd is ensuring the preparedness of the organization by
introducing organizational development interventions to continuously improve its service
delivery to the Filipino people.
 School Leadership and DepEd officials shall undergo workshops and training to enhance
skills on their role as academic, administrative, and community leaders.

BUDGET

DepEd lacks resources to address its current input shortages. With K to 12 and
its added resource needs, how will this be addressed?

 All input shortages will be wiped out before the end of 2013. A 1:1 ratio for student-to-
textbook and student-to-seat will be achieved within SY 2012-2013. Shortages in classrooms,
teachers, and toilets will be fully addressed next year.
 The DepEd budget received a 23% increase in 2013 and budgetary requirements for K to 12
will be included in succeeding appropriations for full implementation.
 We also have the support of local government units and private partners to build the needed
infrastructure.
How can different sectors and individual citizens collectively collaborate to improve the basic
education sector?

 Private partners can donate through our Adopt-A-School program, which provides them a
150 percent tax rebate for their contribution.
 Individuals and institutions can take part in the TEN Moves! Campaign to build 10,000
classrooms by donating P10 per day for ten months.
 LGUs can follow the front-loading scheme using their Special Education Fund as collateral
and the allocation as amortization.
 For teacher items, LGUs also help by hiring qualified teachers for our public schools and
paying honoraria for them.
 We have enough time to provide the additional classrooms, teachers, and instructional
materials since they will be needed beginning SY 2016–2017.

ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROGRAM


I like this program but I’m worried about additional cost to families. How will
government respond to this difficulty?

 Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education is offered for free in public schools.

 There are additional indirect costs, but government agencies are collaborating to provide
programs that will enable everyone access to quality education, especially to those with
lesser means.
 Proposals such as the expansion of the Education Service Contracting (ESC) scheme under
the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) and
other cost-sharing arrangements are being developed by DepEd.
 K to 12 graduates should have higher earning potential as they will be more competent and
skilled.
 As a result of the K to 12 Program, particularly the more specialized education in Senior High
School, CHED is exploring the possibility of decreasing the number of years of certain degree
programs in college.
 K to 12 graduates can obtain national certification from TESDA, which will enable them to
have more employment opportunities.
What about the dropout problem? Will this be addressed by the K to 12 curriculum?

 DepEd prefers the term “school leavers” rather than “dropout,” recognizing that most students
who discontinue schooling were pushed out of the system due to factors beyond their and
their parents’ control.
 Keeping students in school is a responsibility of the entire community. To respond to this,
DepEd and other government agencies are collaborating to make sure that all children stay in
school through programs like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
 The curriculum will be learner-centered, enriched, and responsive to local needs. It will also
allow students to choose electives and specializations that suit their interest. This should
partly address those who stop attending school because of the perceived lack of relevance of
the curriculum.
 DepEd will also continue to offer programs such as home schooling for elementary students
and the school leavers reduction program for high schools. These programs address the
learning needs of marginalized students and learners at risk of leaving the school system.
How will the government ensure the effectiveness of the K to 12 Program?

 A Joint Oversight Committee from the Senate and the House of Representatives shall be
formed to oversee, monitor, and evaluate implementation.
 By the end of SY 2014-2015, DepEd will conduct a review of the implementation of the K to
12 Program and submit a midterm report to Congress.
Won’t this be another avenue for corruption? How can you ensure that funds will
be released and used properly?

 DepEd fully supports the Aquino administration’s drive against corruption.


 We will regularly package and disseminate information on agency budgets, bidding and
procurement documents, and SALNs (Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth) of
senior government officials, to ensure transparency and accountability.
 It is also in our best interest to ensure that funds and resources are not lost to corruption.

Monochromatic color scheme

Examples:

The monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color. This scheme looks
clean and elegant. Monochromatic colors go well together, producing a soothing effect. The monochromatic scheme
is very easy on the eyes, especially with blue or green hues. You can use it to establish an overall mood. The primary
color can be integrated with neutral colors such as black, white, or gray. However, it can be difficult, when using this
scheme, to highlight the most important elements.

Pros: The monochromatic scheme is easy to manage, and always looks balanced and
visually appealing.

Cons: This scheme lacks color contrast. It is not as vibrant as the complementary scheme.

Tips: 1. Use tints, shades, and tones of the key color to enhance the scheme.
2. Try the analogous scheme; it offers more nuances while retaining the simplicity and
elegance of the monochromatic scheme.

Analogous color scheme

Examples:

The analogous color scheme uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a
dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme. The analogous scheme is similar to the monochromatic
one, but offers more nuances.

Pros: The analogous color scheme is as easy to create as the monochromatic, but looks
richer.

Cons: The analogous color scheme lacks color contrast. It is not as vibrant as the
complementary scheme.

Tips: 1. Avoid using too many hues in the analogous scheme, because this may ruin the
harmony.
2. Avoid combining warm and cool colors in this scheme.

Complementary color scheme

Examples:

The complementary color scheme is made of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. This
scheme looks best when you put a warm color against a cool color, for example, red versus green-blue. The
complementary scheme is intrinsically high-contrast.

When using the complementary scheme, it is important to choose a dominant color and use its complementary color
for accents. Using one color for the background and its complementary color to highlight important elements, you will
get color dominance combined with sharp color contrast.

Pros: The complementary color scheme offers stronger contrast than any other color
scheme, and draws maximum attention.

Cons: This scheme is harder to balance than monochromatic and analogous schemes,
especially when desaturated warm colors are used.

Tips: 1. For best results, place cool colors against warm ones, for example, blue versus
orange.
2. If you use a warm color (red or yellow) as an accent, you can desaturate the
opposite cool colors to put more emphasis on the warm colors.
3. Avoid using desaturated warm colors (e.g. browns or dull yellows).
4. Try the split complementary scheme; it is similar to the complementary scheme but
offers more variety.

Split complementary color scheme

Examples:

The split complementary scheme is a variation of the standard complementary scheme. It uses a color and the two
colors adjacent to its complementary. This provides high contrast without the strong tension of the complementary
scheme.

Pros: The split complementary scheme offers more nuances than the complementary
scheme while retaining strong visual contrast.

Cons: The split complementary scheme is harder to balance than monochromatic and
analogous color schemes.

Tips: 1. Use a single warm color against a range of cool colors to put an emphasis on the
warm color (red versus blues and blue-greens, or orange versus blues and blue-
violets).
2. Avoid using desaturated warm colors (e.g. browns or dull yellows), because this
may ruin the scheme.

Triadic color scheme

Examples:

The triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. This scheme is popular among
artists because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining balance, and color richness. The triadic scheme is not
as contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it looks more balanced and harmonious.

Pros: The triadic color scheme offers high contrast while retaining harmony.

Cons: The triadic color scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme.

Tips: 1. Choose one color to be used in larger amounts than others.


2. If the colors look gaudy, try to subdue them.

Tetradic (double complementary) color scheme

Examples:

The tetradic (double complementary) scheme is the richest of all the schemes because it uses four colors arranged
into two complementary color pairs. This scheme is hard to harmonize; if all four colors are used in equal amounts,
the scheme may look unbalanced, so you should choose a color to be dominant or subdue the colors.

Pros: The tetradic scheme offers more color variety than any other scheme.

Cons: This scheme is the hardest scheme to balance.

Tips: 1. If the scheme looks unbalanced, try to subdue one or more colors.
2. Avoid using pure colors in equal amounts.

Color Theory Basics


What is color theory?

Color Theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. Color
relationships can be visually represented with a color wheel — the color spectrum wrapped onto a
circle.

The color wheel is a visual representation of color theory:

According to color theory, harmonious color combinations use any two colors opposite each other
on the color wheel, any three colors equally spaced around the color wheel forming a triangle, or
any four colors forming a rectangle (actually, two pairs of colors opposite each other). The
harmonious color combinations are called color schemes – sometimes the term 'color harmonies'
is also used. Color schemes remain harmonious regardless of the rotation angle.

Color theory does not analyze tints, shades, and tones

Color theory analyzes only the relationships of pure colors; it does not take color lightness and
saturation into account. While your color scheme can use any tints, shades, and tones, color
theory pays attention only to the hue component.

Color theory considers both these schemes equal:

History of color theory

The first color wheel was invented by Sir Isaac Newton. He split white sunlight into red, orange,
yellow, green, cyan, and blue beams; then he joined the two ends of the color spectrum together
to show the natural progression of colors. Newton associated each color with a note of a musical
scale.

A century after Newton, Johann Wolfgang Goethe began studying psychological effect of colors.
He noticed that blue gives a feeling of coolness and yellow has a warming effect. Goethe created
a color wheel showing the psychological effect of each color. He divided all the colors into two
groups – the plus side (from red through orange to yellow) and the minus side (from green
through violet to blue). Colors of the plus side produce excitement and cheerfulness. Colors of the
minus side are associated with weakness and unsettled feelings.

The current form of color theory was developed by Johannes Itten, a Swiss color and art theorist
who was teaching at the School of Applied Arts in Weimar, Germany. This school is also known
as 'Bauhaus'. Johannes Itten developed 'color chords' and modified the color wheel. Itten's color
wheel is based on red, yellow, and blue colors as the primary triad and includes twelve hues.

Color Meaning

Red

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well
as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood
pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In
heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions;
it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often
used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate
danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when
promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.


Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.
Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as
aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates
mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food
and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and
endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your
design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow
rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a
warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.

Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items
related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of
your design. Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color, so it is not recommended to use
yellow when selling prestigious, expensive products to men – nobody will buy a yellow business suit or a yellow
Mercedes. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and
safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are
visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.

Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy.


Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy.

Green

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional
correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

stability and endurance. Sometimes green denotes lack of experience; for example, a 'greenhorn' is a novice. In
heraldry, green indicates growth and hope. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage in
road traffic.

Use green to indicate safety when advertising drugs and medical products. Green is directly related to nature, so you
can use it to promote 'green' products. Dull, darker green is commonly associated with money, the financial world,
banking, and Wall Street.

Dark green is associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy.


Yellow-green can indicate sickness, cowardice, discord, and jealousy.

You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids,
vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water). As opposed to
emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to
suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

White

White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.

White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can
represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity.

In advertising, white is associated with coolness and cleanliness because it's the color of snow. You can use white to
suggest simplicity in high-tech products. White is an appropriate color for charitable organizations; angels are usually
imagined wearing white clothes. White is associated with hospitals, doctors, and sterility, so you can use white to
suggest safety when promoting medical products. White is often associated with low weight, low-fat food, and dairy
products.

Black

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation
(blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal,
elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.

Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress
can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray
background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange
– other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
