CONCEPT:

Arts in the Philippines refer to the various forms of the arts that have developed and
accumulated in the Philippines from the beginning of civilization in the country up to the
present era. They reflect the range of artistic influences on the country's culture, including
indigenous forms of the arts, and how these influences have honed the country's arts. These
arts are divided into two distinct branches, namely, traditional arts and non-traditional arts.
Each branch is further divided into various categories with subcategories. The traditional arts
in the Philippines encompass folk architecture, maritime transport, weaving, carving, folk
performing arts, folk (oral) literature, folk graphic and plastic arts, ornament, textile, or fiber
art, pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.
