Let’s Learn
Direction: Read and comprehend the following concepts

Because contemporary art has moved away from classical styles, it is sometimes
hard to critic a contemporary work of art. Therefore, this section will lead you to find out
the different design principles and the various art forms found in the Philippines. Let’s
discover!

Principles of Design
Design is the overall structure of an art form. It is a plan for order. It is the means
by which artist indicate and demonstrate the ideas and feelings they wish to convey.

Here are some principles of design found in the arts

1. Harmony
• This refers to the
wholeness of the design,
the pleasing arrangement
of parts, and the
agreement between parts
of a composition, resulting
in a united whole.

2. Variety
• It pertains to the
assortment or diversity of a
work of art.

3. Rhythm
• It is the regular, repeated
pattern in the elements of
art. It is a flow, or feeling of
movement, achieved by the
distribution of visual units
in time.

4. Proportion
• Elements in a work of art
should have a relationship
with one another. This
relationship is called
proportion.

5. Balance
• Pertains to the even distribution
of weight. It is the principle that
deals with equality.

6. Movement
 • This is a fundamental principle in choreography and the theatre arts.

Various Art Forms Found in the Philippines

Pre-Colonial Art

Through migration and trade during Pre-Colonial Period, there was a lively cultural
interchange between the Philippines and other Asian countries. This helped
Philippines to develop their own way of living, their own culture such as pottery,
weaving, wood carving, jewelry, etc. That they could use for their everyday living.

I. Paintings
Introduced by Spaniards during 16th century. They use paintings as
religious propaganda. Painting refers to the process of applying color on a flat
surface. Forms can be created using a wide variety of materials such as
watercolor, acrylic, ink, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Surfaces for painting include
wood, canvas, cardboard, and paper. Painting is considered two-dimensional,
meaning it only has height and width.

Forms of Painting:
1. Easel Painting

The easel painting is perhaps the most common

form of painting which involves applying color to a
board or canvas that is fixed on an upright
support called an easel. These are meant to be
framed and hanged on a wall after creating them.
2. Murals

mural is described as a huge wall-sized painting

used to impart messages to the public. A new form
of. Mural which is a portable mural, was developed
in order to prevent the mural from being erased
from the wall which was created by using bold
strokes in applying bright colors on pieces of
cheesecloth or canvas.

3. Telon Painting

telon is describes as a backdrop or background for

the stage which are used for komedya, sarswela,
and sinakulo, the popular forms of theater in the
country.

4. Jeepney and Calesa Painting

 The calesa is typically painted using one color.
The borders of the calesa are decorated with
geometric patterns, repetitive patterns, and/or
thin lines.

Jeepney painting evolved from calesa painting. In

a typical jeepney, a logo, number, or painting is
covered near the driver’s seat, as well as near the
seats adjacent.to it.
5. Collage

This refers to a form of painting that involves

combine images in a single artwork. This entails
cutting and pasting materials such as paper,
fabric, tin foil and other relatively flat materials
onto a board or canvas.
II. Dance
Refers to the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music
and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion,
releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.

Types of Filipino Dance

a. Banga
Illustrates the grace and strength of women in the
Kalinga tribe of Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR).
Women performing the Banga balance heavy pots on
their heads while dancing to beat of wind chimes.

Banga Dance-Kalinga Apayao (CAR)

b. Lumagen or Tachok
It is performed to celebrate happy occasions. When
Lumagen is performed, it is meant to symbolize flying
birds and is musicallypaired to the beat of gongs.

Lumangen Dance-Kalinga Apayao (CAR

c. Salisid
It is the dance to show courtship. In the Salisid dance, a
male and a female performer represent a rooster
attempting to attract a hen.

Salisid Dance-Kalinga Apayao (CAR)

 d. Malakas at Maganda
It is a national folklore dance. It tells the story of the
origin of the Filipino people on the islands.
 Malakas at Maganda Dance

e. Binaylan

The Binaylan dance, tells the story of a hen, the hen's

baby, and a hawk. In this dance, the hawk is said to
control a tribe's well-being, and is killed by hunters after
attempting to harm the hen's baby.

The Binaylan Dance-Agusan

(CARAGA Region)

f. Tinikling
Take two long bamboo sticks rapidly and in rhythm, clap
sticks for dancers to artistically and daringly try to avoid
getting their feet caught between them.

Tinikling Dance-Leyte (Region 8)

Philippine National Dance

g. Singkil
In this dance, there are four bamboo sticks arranged in a
tictac-toe pattern in which the dancers exploit every
position of these clashing sticks. It is identifiable with the
use of umbrellas and silk clothing.
Singkil Dance-Lanao del Sur (BARMM)

h. Pangalay
It is a traditional Tausug dance, from Jolo and Tawi-Tawi,
characterized by elaborate body postures and gestures and
the graceful arm and hand movement of the dancer,
amplified by the use of janggay or metal claws. The dance
is performed to the music of the kulintangan, gandang,
agong and gabang. Commonly referred to as the fingernail
dance, Pangalay is usually performed during weddings and
other festive celebrations. Panagalay Dance-
Sulu/Tawi-Tawi (BARMM)

III. Weaving
Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns
or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Other methods
are knitting, crocheting, felting, and braiding or plaiting. The longitudinal threads
are called the warp and the lateral threads are the weft, woof, or filling. (Weft is an
old English word meaning "that which is woven"; compare leave and left.) The
method in which these threads are inter-woven affects the characteristics of the
cloth.
 Weaving Method

1. Textile Weaving
This refers to the process of creating cloth by
interweaving a series of parallel vertical threads with
another series of
horizontal threads at right
angles.
Textile weaving-South Cotabato
(Region XII)
2. Mat Weaving

This refers to the art of “plaiting strips of

Mat Weaving (Banig) organic fibers into mats”. These mats,
(Region XII )
locally known as banig, are cool, light,
and portable compared to fixed beds.
3. Basketry

The Basketry
 This refers to the art of creating containers by weaving, plaiting, or
braiding materials into hollow threedimensional shapes that can
either be used for carrying, storage and trapping animals.

IV. Sculpturing
 From the transitional carving of anitos to the santos to Christ and down to the
saints, Filipinos find it rather not difficult as they are already familiar with the
ways of the wood.
 It is a branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the
plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and modelling;
in stones, metals, ceramics, woods and other materials but, since Modernism,
there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. In contrast
to painting, sculpture has three dimensions – height, width, and depth. It is
created by either carving, modelling, or assembling parts together.

General Kinds of Sculpture

1. Free-standing

This is a kind of sculpture that can independently stand in space. It has a flat
horizontal base. All its sides contribute to the overall form of the sculpture.

2. Relief

This kind of sculpture does not have a flat horizontal base. The form is projected
from a flat surface. There are two types of relief – low relief or bas-relief which is
slightly from the flat surface; and high relief. Cagayan de Oro’s Legendary River
Monster is an example of relief sculpture.

3. Assemblage

This sculpture is formed by putting together materials such as found objects,

pieces of paper, sponges, wood scraps, and other materials. A good example of
this is Lamberto Hechanova’s Man and Woman.

4. Kinetic Sculpture

This is considered as a sculpture in motion because the entire sculpture or

some parts of the sculpture are moving with the wind or are vibrating with the
surrounding air.

5. Welded Sculptures

Creating these sculptures involve the process of. connecting sheets of metal
together by using an acetylene or electric torch.

6. Use of Glass

A kind of sculpture where the medium of expression used by the artist is glass.

7. Symbolic Sculpture
It is a kind of sculpture in which an abstract idea is represented by means of
allegory and personification.

V. Pottery
 Is one of the oldest and most widespread of the decorative arts, consisting of objects
made of clay and hardened with heat. The objects made are commonly useful ones, such
as vessels for holding liquids or plates or bowls from which food can be served.
 Pottery is a general term for decorative and useful objects made from clay and set off at
high temperatures. This is frequently interchanged with “ceramics”. However, it is
important to note that application of ceramics is wider and even includes
industrial use.

In the Philippines, there are some famous pottery in various regions:

1. Manunggul Jar
The Manunggul Jar is a secondary burial jar
excavated from a Neolithic burial site in the
Manunggul cave of the Tabon Caves at
Lipuun Point in Palawan. It dates from 890–
710 B.C.[2] and the two prominent figures at
the top handle of its cover represent the
journey of the soul to the
afterlife. The Manunggul Jar

Manunggul Jar displayed at Philippine National Museum of Anthropology

The Manunggul Jar is widely acknowledged to be one of the finest

Philippine pre-colonial artworks ever produced and is considered a
masterpiece of Philippine ceramics. It is listed as a national treasure and
designated as item 64-MO-74[3] by the National Museum of the
Philippines. It is now housed at the National Museum of Anthropology
and is one of the most popular exhibits there. It is made from clay with
some sand soil.

2. Burnay Jar
Burnay jars are commonly used for storage of
water or grains, as well as for fermenting of
Vigan’s local Basi wine and bagoong (fermented
fish). It is said that burnay jars are much harder
than the typical terracotta pots used in
gardening.

Established in 1922, its origin goes way back to

the pre-colonial era when Chinese immigrants
learned about the abundant source of clay in the
lands of Vigan, and settled to start the industry of
pagbuburnay or Jar making
 The materials for burnay jars only consists of clay, water, and sand. Its
process starts with kneading of clay to warm it up and remove sharp
objects that may ruin the clay.

Once it is ready to be molded on the wheel and kiln, it will be tempered

with sand to prevent the clay from sticking to the surface of the table. The
jar will be air dried for three long weeks to harden, after which, it will be
put in a furnace to cook for one day and one night at 1,370 or 1,500
degrees centigrade.

3. Maitum Anthropomorphic Burial Jar

The Maitum anthropomorphic burial jars
are earthenware secondary burial vessels
discovered in 1991 by the National
Museum of the Philippines' archaeological
team in Ayub Cave, Barangay Pinol,
Maitum, Sarangani Province, Mindanao,
Philippines. The jars are
anthropomorphic; characterized by a
design that suggests human figures with
complete or partial facial features of the
first inhabitants of Mindanao.
Furthermore, they give emphasis to the Filipinos’ popular belief of life
after death.

According to Dr. Eusebio Dizon, head of the archaeological team, this

type of burial jars are "remarkably unique and intriguing" because they
have not been found elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Thus, many
archaeologists from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia,
Burma and Indonesia gained interest on this initial find and a number of
archaeological – either government or privately sponsored – excavations
have been conducted to recover these artifacts.
VI. Islamic Art
Islamic art is characterized by designs of flowers, plant forms and geometric
designs. It is used in calligraphy, architecture, painting, clothing and other forms of
fine arts. In the 13th century, traders and missionaries have introduced the religion of
Islam in the Philippines. Islamic art meshed with ethnic culture and produced a
Filipino Muslim Art that reflects the ethnic background and Islamic identity of the
people.
Calligraphy
 It is a visual art related to writing. It is the design
and execution of lettering with a broad-tipped
instrument, brush, or other writing
instrument.
The Islamic Calligraphy

Philippine Muslim homes represents their identity, therefore Islamic art is seen in their
houses. These houses usually contains framed calligraphy of Qur’an passages in its
walls. These ornaments usually are made from Muslim dominated countries like
Malaysia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia brought home by overseas Filipino workers as
mementos of their pilgrims.
VII. Architecture
 Architecture is considered to be one of the most functional branches of the
visual arts. We can freely see architecture in our surroundings because
architecture involves designing the form of a building while allowing the
building to serve its function. It is considered to be the “art to inhabit.”
 Throughout Philippines history, both foreign and Filipino architects introduce
innovations when it comes to creating buildings and large structures. Even
though the design of buildings and homes are still Western-inspired, architects
started to appreciate Filipino social traditions and cultural values. In fact, local
materials were used by architects like Francisco Mañosa, a Filipino architect
considered as one of the most influential Filipino architects of the 20th century,
in designing homes and buildings. In addition to that, they sought ways to
express these traditions and values in architecture.

Forms of Contemporary Architecture:

Domestic Buildings and Houses
1. Apartment - This refers to a building composed of
many residences called units. This is usually built in
populated urban areas. Nowadays, in order to
maximize the use of space and because of the
increased buying power of the population,
condominiums were developed. These condominiums
are larger offshoots of apartments.
The Apartment

2. Bahay na Bato

The bahay na bato is considered to be a residence

of. the wealthy. A typical two-storey bahay na bato
generally has a ground floor that is made of brick or
stone, and has a wooden upper level. The windows
and the level have grilles, while the windows at the
upper level have sliding shutters. The roof of a
typical bahay na bato slants on four sides. Bahay na Bato

3. Barong-barong

The barong-barong are houses of the landless poor

that are built on any land or area. These are
usually found near the esteros, riverbanks, and
bayshores; spaces along high walls, railroad
tracks; spaces near abandoned buildings, and
garbage dumps; or any vacant lot. Some of these
barong-barong are built under bridges.
Barong-barong
4. Bungalow

This refers to one-story house with a wide front

porch and large windows. It may also have a
terrace, which may be roofed or not.
