 LESSON

LESSON 4: ARTS AND CRAFTS OF MINDANAO

MODULE 5: SCULPTURES OF MINDANAO

SCULPTURE is an artistic form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into
three-dimensional art objects. The designs may be embodied in freestanding
objects, in reliefs on surfaces, or in environments ranging from tableaux to contexts
that envelop the spectator.

MAITUM JAR
An earthenware vessel for secondary burial from
Sarangani province. These artefacts were discovered in
1991 and are now in the protection of the National
Museum.
Earthenware: This is the type of clay often used in
schools. It comes in white or red and it is fired to a
temperature of approximately 1000 degrees C. or 1830
degrees F.
Some experts argue of that that these jars are not only
artistically significant, they also hold key information
historical and anthropological importance.

T’BOLI WOOD CARVING AND BRASS CASTING AND POTTERY

Wood carvers get their inspiration from the wildlife in their local area.

Artisans use the lost- wax casting method to produce more copies of sculpture with
intricate designs such as bells, boxes and figures. The mold is made from wax then
using this mold, covers it with clay. Molten brass is then poured into the clay cast
which melts and replaces the wax to form the finished product.
MARANAO WOOD CARVING AND METAL CASTING

RARUB-A-KLONG is a metallic armor made of brass

plates, carabao horn and interlocking ringlets.

KAMPILAN- single-edged steel sword with a handle made

of hand carved ivory in a form of the head of the naga or a
serpent, handcrafted gold, and hanged horde hair at the
bottom of the handle.

BATIGE- a large manually carved wooden top inlaid

with mother-of-pearl. It is used by adult males to test
their skills and strength.

KENDI is an heirloom teapot or kettle used for hot

water, coffee, or tea.

GADOR is a large intricate decorated white metal tobacco

container. It has become an item of interior decoration in
proper Maranao households.
 ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY #1: PAPER MACHÉ SCULPTURE

PART 1: PREPARING THE PAPER MÂCHÉ
1. Clear an area. Paper-mâché can get a bit messy (what good DIY project
doesn't?), so to protect your grandma's beloved dining table, lay down a few
newspapers or other scrap material to keep clean up at a minimum. While
you are grabbing newspaper, also get a hold of:
✓ A bowl or large container
✓ Flour, wallpaper powder/paste, or white glue
✓ Water
✓ Your base structure (balloon, cardboard or a molded figure; e.g. statue,
birds, flower and etc.)
✓ Paintbrush
✓ Newspaper (for your project - not for clean-up duty)
2. Tear the newspaper into long strips. The ideal width would be around one
inch (2.5 cm) thick, but each project requires different shapes and sizes. In
addition, you will want to go around your project three times, so tear quite a
pile. Don't use scissors - a torn edge blends better than a cut edge.
There is no wrong size your strips could be. In fact, if you want to add
volume to your structure by molding the strips, you will need different sizes.
So tear away freely.
3. Choose your method to make paper mâché. A few slight variations will
result in the same product. Use what you have at your disposal.
• Glue mixture: Pour 2 parts white glue and one part water into a mixing
bowl. These quantities can be changed to suit the size of your project.
Or, if you have a stronger bonding glue, 1 part white glue and 1 part
water will do the trick.
• Flour mixture: Combine 1 part flour with 1 part water. Easy as pie!
• For super large and intense projects, you may want to substitute
white glue for the water.
4. Blend your choice of mixture. Do this using a paintbrush, a mixing spoon
or mixing stick. Blend until it forms a smooth consistency. If it's too thin or
thick, adjust accordingly. Add more adhesive base if it's too thin, water if it's
too thick.
5. Find a surface you want to paper-mâché. Examples include a balloon,
cardboard or a molded figure. In addition, you can papier-mâché two objects
together to form a creation! The mixture will take to anything.
• If you're using a balloon, consider painting it with cooking oil
beforehand -- that way, when it's dry, you can slide it out easily.
PART II: CREATING THE PAPER MÂCHÉ
1. Dip a strip of newspaper into the mixture. You're going to get your fingers
messy! The messier you get, the better job you're doing.
2. Remove any excess mixture. Do this by lightly sliding two fingers from the
top to the bottom of the strip of paper. Hold it over the bowl so it drips back
into the container.
3. Lay the strip over the surface or figure. Smooth it out, using either your
fingers or a paintbrush. Be sure to get as many of the creases and bumps
out as you can. You are aiming to get a very smooth surface for painting and
decorating.
• If you'd like to create a shape (a face, say), bunch the strip into the
form you want, place it on your surface, and then layer another strip
on top to smooth it out. This can create volume, texture, and detail
quite easily.
4. Repeat laying strips. Do this until the entire surface or figure is covered
three times over. This is especially important if you're removing the base
when it's dry - it needs to be sturdy and hold its own.
• Put your first layer on horizontally, the second vertically, and so forth.
It will help show you where you have been before and strengthen the
piece.
5. Place the object on a covered surface to dry. It will need a day or so to
completely dry, depending on the size of your piece. Leave it untouched until
tomorrow, and then see if it's ready for painting.
6. Start coloring. Paint or decorate as desired. Enjoy! (And be sure to tell
everyone you did it yourself.)
