WAYS OF TRANSFER, WAYS OF BECOMING
The disciplines of painting, visual communications, industrial design and
interior design commence a conversation emanating from basic applications of figure drawing techniques, textures or finishing for furniture and other design
products, and lighting through the design of thematic lamps and abstract forms of paper. Materials are explored through methods of drawing, painting, cutting, weaving, assemblage and the study of chemical reactions among industrial
substances. And overall, themes are convergence points for modes of collaboration providing students with opportunities for creative teamwork, negotiation
and shared lessons in costing and logistics.
“Opus Modus” is the title given to the sundry of productions guided by SFAD
faculty members Salvador Joel Alonday, Marcelo Alonzo, Jesus Flores, Paolo
Amorsolo Jacob and Mutya Teodoro-Sambile in the conduct of their respective courses. The exhibit extols ways of
learning through ways of making, and thinking through those very methods.
Read through a recollection of René Magritte’s simple yet cryptic statement of what is— is not a pipe— varied concerns converge into expressions and questions about art educa-tion’s potential and ploy, through materials and methods that relay youthful
play and illumination.
Then too, there is room for unexpected turns. A weaving could abort its initial
goal. An idea could collapse into a new inception. This gallery is after all a laboratory for re-thinking and re-making. Divergent ways commute into new and cohesive interactions.
