patterns eliciting focus
from the believers.

Geometric patterns is one of the three non – figural themes of Islamic Art,
which also includes calligraphy and flowers. In Islam, the use of humans and animals
are not allowed. This comes from the view that the creation of living forms is unique
to the One God.

Spanish Era
Art become a handmaiden of religion, serving to
propagate the Catholic faith and thus support the
colonial order at the same time.

When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines in

1521, the colonizers used art as a tool to propagate
the Catholic faith through beautiful images to explain the concepts behind
Catholicism, to tell the stories of Christ’s life and passion.

American Era
In the American regime, commercial and advertising
arts were integrated into the fine arts curriculum.

secular forms of arts.

domain of ideology and culture through the

sculpture, ink painting and calligraphy on silk and paper, ukiyo – e paintings and
woodblock prints, ceramics, origami, and more recently manga which Japanese
cartoons and comics along with a myriad of other types.

Modern Era
Philippine Art began after World War 2 and the granting
of Independence. Writers and artist posed the question of
national identity as the main theme of various art forms.
