**Ani ng Sining, Alab ng Sining” (Harvest of the Arts, Flame of Art)** Art is a conventional way of expressing our own feelings, emotions, experiences, aspirations, sentiments, ideals, values, goals, observations and inherent background. It comes from the Latin word **ARS** or **ATIS** which means "*skills*", referring to everything that is artificially made, composed or created by man. Its function are the following: 1. **Aesthetic Function**- which is the consciousness of man regarding the beauty of nature where the man benefits from his own works and works done by his fellowmen. 2. **Utilitarian Function** - enriches man's life but also improves nature and its conservation. 3. **Religious Function** - tends to the uplift spiritual well-being. 4. **Cultural Function** - transmits and preserve skills, knowledge, cultural background that makes man more civilized and makes life more enduring and satisfying. 5. **Social Function** refers to civic and graphic arts that man learns to love and help each other. The classification of arts according to forms: 1. **Spatial Arts/ Plastic Art** (*Pure Arts*) - is developed through space and perceived by the sense of sight (like painting, sculpture and architecture). 2. **Temporal Arts** (*Pure Arts*)- is created in time (like music and literature). 3. **Combined/ Mixed Arts**- is created in space and time (like theater/drama, dance/kinetic art, cinema/film/motion picture, or poetry). 4. **Newer Multi-Media Forms** - modern technology and new ways the artist have interpreted the world (like digital art, action art, performance art, new media arts and world music).

February is the month where the whole nation celebrates National Arts Month (NAM) to express creativity and the arts. ![nam-001-APPROVED-724x1024.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeDdP5BEynppGDAKWNuhFpUg1ABS9Zm4MpSsj5D3Ptm7t/nam-001-APPROVED-724x1024.jpg) [Image Source](http://ncca.gov.ph/ncca-fires-celebration-national-arts-month-february/) This afternoon, me and my classmates were planning to stroll the city and look for a cheap clothes and shoes in a thrift shop or commonly known as "Ukay-ukay". As we stretch one's legs, we went to the mall and grab some snacks and luckily we saw an event for the NAM. In the event, we saw different and various displayed miniatures starting from anime and game heroes up to DC heroes, sketches and paintings and also a cos-players. It was really mesmerizing and enthralling. ![28.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYCP1QxZnvP6qfXgjzfYcLsmgYmxcnViRmVmetTZsdi1B/28.jpg) ![40.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTVTUWgAHAH8QWBJeCh83fQv1at4m7yRYBoKFM79ErZwV/40.jpg) ![39.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZDsga1iZmDqoHsbyNMXEKkv8t5kPJ7f4iaWu6tJFe3zU/39.jpg) ![41.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRbf1G2zsg6MtUUAeRCtiRi81vB4JrVaQUdq9sJESfufj/41.jpg) Each cosplayers really did well on acting and their costumes are lit. We can really observed that they thoroughly loves what they are doing and its a passion for them. In fact, we can see them smiling, very happy and having fun doing their acts even if their costumes, wigs, and make-up are very costly. ![34.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSKGo5fDLkD1fx3u22hAfcPV9uLaVxJB7QsjNzGb1MTs6/34.jpg) ***This is Krul Tepes from Owari no Seraph and Iki Hiyori from Noragami Wiki.*** ![13.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNXxsvyaYYz7EF6LPkWypNCFCooXBJxTSptyvL4UGc592/13.jpg) ***This is one of the character in the League of Legends*** ![10.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTp6cTcDdS8fHjouNwLZ77U7sN4dMrwxPvoAUNQ6yLmMu/10.jpg) ***Diane from Nanatsu no Taizai and a member of Seven Deadly Sins*** ![18.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaNyBrWpzH6DuHmNtafeEo1XQfes9FDatbxx8VVmV9uTM/18.jpg) ![17.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmT7yEJTZLhxyGxEvxLSZGmx73PFzQdrU9SkYXd9LubcTz/17.jpg) ***One of the character in Fate/Apocrypha*** ![5.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQgfyriUeAGxxygBjCwJg5YS3neeZE6X8RECe5Dx8jzfe/5.jpg) ***Characters in Blend S*** It was really fun experience and memorable because it is my first time to saw a cosplayer in a Japanese anime and characters in an online games.
