Typically, at the end of each fall semester, the second-year MFA candidates open their studios to the public and invited guests from the art community. Each student is present to discuss their work in an informal setting. Due to COVID-19, their in-person tours were turned into these virtual ones.

The presentation shows the Pis Siyabit, Tipos del Pais, Parol, Childbirth, and Jeepney Painting, their artists and communities, and the timeless representation of the Filipino culture. I chose these five works since I have seen most of them in real-time, making me experience deep personal emotions that I want to make everyone reminisce. The presentation contains four traditions from the Ethnic, Spanish, Euro-American, and Contemporary periods; with three range of forms that includes Crafts, Weaving, and Painting. These are all made with two hands and one incredible passion in art. The objective of this presentation is to show the value of artworks that were made without the knowledge of it being extraordinary through their unique visual forms and languages. One particular artwork contributed to my Filipino roots, which is the Parol. The Christmas spirit the Parol brings to Filipinos is very timely, and a traditional Filipino Christmas would not be the same without Parols in each house.

We not only inspire and encourage a student’s imagination, but also teach the art of interpretation: the ability to carefully read and cross-reference texts, research visual styles, and conceptualize and produce significant bodies of work.

Department chair Thomas Woodruff, student Paul Lee and faculty member Peter Kuper talk about what makes SVA's undergraduate Illustration program special.
