Ngano man ka nag-art-art?

Look who’s back, mga Uwak! Naka-kape na mi sa perfect coffee so we’re so awake and ready for another episode of muraging and koreking—this time in the realm of one of the most elusive, most evanescent, and most ephemeral concepts known to man—the art of Kublai.

Ay! Unsa ba diay? Sorry sa glitch! Sudden gravitas sa spacetime continuum. Anyway! Welcome to Episode 2 (Part 1) of Season 2— Confirming our Humanity: Art Appreciation (?) 101 from Mesopotamia to Mindanao "Art2”

So we sort of skimmed through Western Visual Art History (who’s gonna listen to an eight-hour podcast?) and then primed on Mindanao Art (the carnival) to get a drop of hint and so to form a better and informed canvass of art’s most existential question—why do we need art?
