Kublai Mellan’s collection

          In the place of our venue, I found out, that some of the collection of Kublai mellan is paintings, sculpture, photos and etc. examples of his collection are abstract paintings, face using nails, melted plastic, and waste material and etc.

          The concept of the artist is to make himself popular in the field of art and to enhance people that we can do art without using expensive things, because some of his works are made up of waste material, so I can say that we can do artifacts with the use of waste material.

         The visual element that you can see in the sculpture, paintings, etc. are lines, colors, etc.example of lines are vertical horizontal, diagonal, curve and etc. colors are black, green, yellow, red, violet and other colors.

         The collections of Kublai Mellan’s is varied to one another, they are different in terms of colors and formations, but usually, some of his works are abstract.

         I found out that some of his collection is made up of waste material, I don’t know what  is he trying to project, but the only thing I learned is we can make artifacts using those waste material.

                                       DAVAO MUSEUM

          The artifacts that you can find in the museum are sculpture, carving, paintings, etc.example of sculpture are the jar, basket, fish trap, tea pot and etc. One of the paintings that I seen in the museum is the bahay kubo. There is lot of things I found there. In the 2^nd floor of that building I saw a small replica of Spanish ship and all things in that room are old things that our ancestors being use.

          The artifact that gives a big impact on me is the dance of labi, according to them the word labi means superior. The dance of labi is a ritual that they perform every engaging of lovers in their tribe.

           This ritual is being performed by one male and one female. The ritual invites the spirit of Mother Nature to bless the couple in their existence. This ritual is an old tradition performed by our ancestor as norms of old times. This illustration brought a view that people in old times has a good affinity in Mother Nature.

           The collection of Davao Museum are not varied, all of that things is being use by our ancestor. In this period, it is rare to find those things, because of modernity.
