Description
This is my second pointillism art project. My first pointillism art project is a drawing called "Bald Eagle" in which I used only one black ink pen to create. This time I used colored ink pens together with the black ink pen I used previously. I finished this art work on August 6, 2016.
Pointillism is a drawing/painting technique in which tiny dots are applied in patterns to form an image.
This is also my second art work that depicts the tradition of Bayanihan.
Bayanihan is a Filipino term taken from the word "bayan", which refers to a nation, country, town, or community. The whole term "bayanihan" refers to a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective.
The origin of the term "bayanihan" can be traced from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place by volunteering to transport the house to a specific location. The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location. This is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the ends of each pole. The tradition also features a small fiesta hosted by the family to express gratitude to the volunteers (Source: Wikipedia).
