1. a. Joya Oil Painting Upon looking at this painting, I was not able to see any images or meaning in it since it is an abstract. However, upon reading the tet beside it, I was then able to imagine how the shapes and colors was used to depict the di!erent "elds o# study o!ered in the $ollege o# home economics back in the sities. I guess that the random rectangular shapes can represent the tetiles made by students under the %epartment o# $lothing, &etiles and 'elated (rts )%$&'(*, the dark brown "gures serves as mother and child in relation to those under the %epartment o# +amily i#e and $hild %evelopment )%+$%*, the triangular shape inside a circle stands #or the %epartment o# Home -conomics -ducation )%H-ed*, )%H-ed*, and lastly, the other colors represents the %epartment o# +ood cience and /utrition )%+/*. However, the %epartment o# Hotel, 'estaurant and Institution 0anagement )%H'I0* was not yet present back when the painting was made since it was later established in 123s. b. (nsel %ay4ag 5all Installation &his wooden sculpture sculpture is much easier easier to interpret interpret that the Joya Oil Oil Painting Painting since the main "gure, which is a #amily, is 6uite obvious. &he challenge comes in deciphering the other #our sculptures on the background since they all look like di!erent houses to me. However, I might be partially right on my assumption, because according according to the tet beside it, it may be interpreted as having the #amily as the #ocus o# the discipline o# Home -conomics with the #our dwellings representing representing the #our departments in $H- during the sities. 7. 8ased on my perception, perception, I think that the $H- logo symboli9es #amily at the center, inside a home that is #urther in:uenced by the environment. I came upon this idea since I saw that a mother and child "gure inside a house is at the center,

which I think, emphasi9es that #amily is the main unit o# society. &he environmental meaning ;ust came #rom the color, which is green. <. &eodora (lon9o is the mother o# Jose 'i9al. &he $H- 0ain 8uilding was named a#ter her because she is a great eample o# a true home economist since she applied home economics in upli#ting the 6uality o# li#e o# her #amily and that o# the community. I think that it is an appropriate name #or $H- building because &eodora (lon9o embodies the whole core and ethics which the $ollege o# Home -conomics believes in.
