ARTS IN FEU

 





INFOGRAPHIC ABOUT  "ARTS IN FEU"

    In doing this activity, I realized that the university I am enrolled with contains many artworks created by numerous artists recognized in the art industry. Far Eastern University is not just a regular university that teaches their student their specific programs; it is home to artworks that comes with a history that is why it is placed on the campus. In his article, Jacob (2020) stated that FEU is an institution that is surrounded by pieces of art created by national artists, from art deco buildings, sculptures to the artistic design of the stairs. The university is home to artworks that sometimes even the students are not aware of how valuable the pieces are since it is created by artists recognized and the meaning behind the artworks. 
    Despite being located in the busy area of Manila, the campus of Far Eastern University is a relaxing and conducive environment for the students to learn better and surround themselves with arts that can be a part of their journey in learning about the university itself. A student wouldn't be bored enough because the campus is interesting enough to search for the meaning of every piece and surroundings of the university. Ongpin (2019) stated that the university collected and collaborated with different artists, recognized or not, to build a collection of artworks for the campus. It resulted in an astonishing accumulation of artworks that students can see and boasts to other schools that FEU is not just an ordinary university that focuses on academics, but also on arts that is paramount to the development of the students, whether they acknowledge it or not. The students will remember their campus as something unique with artworks created solely for their university, and it will also be a way for them to know the history that can be forgotten in the present time.
