What’s new?

From the discussion above, we learned about the different

contemporary art forms. While we review the previous lesson, it to boot basic
to be beyond any doubt that the art of the so – called past continued and
proceeds to development until the appear and are thus in that sense,
“contemporary”. This art continued to be conveyed, without a doubt in case the
conditions behind its era have as of now changed through and through. In the
discussion below, be conscious of the way the description of context is
integrated into the description of form – what art is made of and how art is
made. The relationship of material and process to the symbols and meanings of
the art forms matters how we contextualize. ( crafted from: Faludette May

Philippine Art
History

Pre-Colonial
Arts / Ethnic Arts

Was there art

before
colonization?

In art
chronicle terms, we
imply art a few
times as of late the coming of the essential colonizers as “pre - triumph”. In
expound terms, we insinuate to it as natural the thought that our forerunners,
have been making art without a doubt a few times as of late colonization. It is
also described in cultural

https://bit.ly/3i6nd0U

terms as “pre-colonial” as a term to use the general way of life before

colonization. Although the terms are interchangeable, it is also useful to keep
these distinctions in mind when studying the art of the past

In Pre – colonial Philippines, arts are for ritual purposes or for everyday
use. Art of the ancient Filipinos were woven into the fabric of everyday life.
They do not refer to art as we do today. That is, as an expression of an
individual, and seen largely in galleries and concert halls. They do not
distinguish forms into different categories like music, theater, visual arts, etc.
Everyday expressions were all integrated within rituals that marked significant
moments in a community’s life, like planting, harvesting, rites passage,
funerary, ceremonies, weddings, among others. (crafted from: Faludette May
Datulin et. al, 2016. Contemporary Philippine Arts of the Regions p. 15)

Our ancestors, just like others in the world during those times, were hunter
gatherers. The forefathers hunted food and game that were shared among
members of a community in a gathering where they told stories about the hunt.
They imitated the movement of animals and prey, and the sounds that they
made. But how do arts apply?

In this simple activity alone evolved ritual, music, dance, theater and yes
even literature. When they told stories about the hunt, this form of oral story
telling marked the beginnings of the literature. When they imitated movements
of the animals they hunted, this marked the early beginnings of theater or play
acting. When they learned to add drum beating and attach rhythm to their
movements, they have given birth to music and dance

The pre- colonial peoples of the Philippines already possessed a varied

and vibrant musicale culture. The country’s indigenous cultures through the
existence of ethnic musical instruments such as pipes , flutes, zithers, drums,
various string instruments like kudyapi a three stringed guitar, the kulintang –
an array bossed gongs, the gansa or flat gong, bamboo percussion instruments,
and the gong – large bossed gong.

The following are the native dance forms imitated from the movements of
the animals:

1. Pangalay dance (Sulu) is mimetic of the movements of the sea birds

2. Mandaya’ Kinabua, Banog – banog (Higaonon & B’laan), and ma- manok
(Bagobos in Mindanao is imitated the movements of predatory birds.
3. Talip dance (Ifugao) that is used for courtship is mimetic of the movements
of wild fowls.
4. Inamo dance (Matigsalugs) and Kadaliwas dance (T’Boli) represent the
comedic movement of the monkey
5. Tinikling dance evocative of the movements of the crane, balancing itself on
stilt – like legs or flirting away from the clutches of bamboo traps.

I. ISLAMIC ERA

(13TH Century to the Present)

How did Islam influence art before the coming of Spanish colonizers?

Islamic is characterized by geometric designs and patter selecting focus from

the believers. Even before the coming of Spanish colonizers, Islam was already
well entrenched in Southern Philippines. Filipino Muslims recognize that they
belong to an ummah or a community
 Source:
https://bit.ly/2VqsfLY

of believers. Central to the Islamic faith is the doctrine of or unity of God. This
belief emphasizes the impermanence of nature and the incomprehensible
greatness of the Divine Being.

In Islamic art we can observe how artist are influenced by the notion
of the Tawhid, we will find that the interior of mosques are covered with
elaborate patterning in the form of reliefs to draw the attention away from the
concrete object, in other words away from human forms and nature” toward the
contemplation of the divine” ( source: Faludette May Datulin et. al , 2016.
Contemporary Philippine Arts of the Regions p. 19)

Happenings during Islamic era

1. Sultanate of Sulu was established Sayyid Abbubakar
2. Qura or holy text was introduced
3. Building of religious school called Madrasah
4. Natives from Yakans , Basilan and Zamboanga were converted to Islam
5. Islamazation process In Mindanao became strong.
6. Islam became the religion and as a way of life of people in Mindanao
(Tausug, Maranao, Maguindanao, Yakan, Samal, Badjao).

III. SPANISH ERA

(1521 – 1898)
What kinds of art developed during Spanish Colonization?
Art became a hand maiden of religion, serving to propagate the Catholic faith
and thus support the colonial order at the same time. Religious orders were
dispatched to convert the natives to

Catholicism as part of the

lhttps://bit.ly/2VqsfLYl larger project culturally
as
religious art, lowland Christian art or folk art. During this period, cruciform
churches following the shape of the latin cross were built. In keeping with the
prevailing, they were characterized by grandeur, drama, and elaborate details
that purposely appealed to the emotions. The use of adobe, limestone or brick
and the construction of thick buttresses or wing like projections reinforce the
church structure to make it more resistant to earthquake. In other words, the
result is a fusion of both native and European elements, prompting some art
historians to refer to the style as colonial baroque or Philippine or tropical
baroque. (source: Faludette May Datulin et. al, 2016. Contemporary Philippine
Arts of the Regions p. 31)

 IV. AMERICAN ERA (1898 – 1940) to the Post war Republic
(1946 – 1969)
What were the changes brought about by American Colonization? How were
they differ from the religious forms of the Spanish colonial period ?
In the American regime, commercial and advertising arts were integrated into
fine arts curriculum. Moreover,Americans favored idyllic sceneries and secular
forms of arts. Because
https://bit.ly/3dwgqdi
the lingua franca of this period was English, poems and
stories from books were dramatize in classroom, to facilitate the teaching of the
English language. Unlike, the Spanish, the Americans passionate thought their
language through an efficient public school system.
In less than decade, Filipino playwrights began to write plays in English.In the
beginning of the 20th century, new urban pattern that responded to the secular
goals of education, health and governance was imposed. The new patrons of the
arts included the
Americans who engaged in governance and education, business and tourism.
The demand for artists who could do illustrations in textbooks or graphic design
to product labels thus emerged. The inclination towards genre, still life and
portrait paintings persisted. Landscapes on the other hand, became cherished as
travel souvenirs, especially those that captured the exotic qualities of Philippine
terrain. In 1909, a year after the establishment of the University of the
Philippines, its School of Fine Arts was opened. It also offered a course on
commercial design to fulfill the aforementioned demand. For some time, the
academic ( a term referring to the kind of art was influenced by European
academies) tradition of painting and sculpture in the manner of Amorsolo and
Tolentino prevailed in the art scene.(crafted from: Faludette May Datulin et.
al , 2016. Contemporary Philippine Arts of the Regions p.28 -29)
