VISUAL ARTS
◦The Visual arts are art forms such as painting,
drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics,
photography, video, filmmaking, design, crafts,
and architecture. Many artistic disciplines such
as performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts
also involve aspects of visual arts as well as arts
of other types.

LITERATURE
◦ Literature is anybody or collection of written work. More
restrictively, literature refers to writing considered to be an art
form or any single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual
value, and sometimes deploys language in ways that differ from
ordinary usage.
◦ Literature in the contemporary period has oscillated between
personal expression and social commentary. In vernacular
poetry, the two tendencies can be seen at work.
BAGAY
Valediction sa Hillcrest
in Taglish, (an excerpt) by: Rolando Tinio’s
Nagkacollect ng Railway Express sa aking
things
(Deretso na iyon sa barko while I take the
plane.)
Inakyat kong muli ang N-311, at dahil dead of De-nameplate, de-numero, de-hometown
winter,
Nakatopcoat at galoshes akong
Nagright-turn sa N wing ng mahabang dilim
(Tunnel yatang aabot hanggang Tundo.)
Kinapa ko ang switch sa hall.Sa isang pitik,
nagshrink ang imaginary tunnel,Nagparang
ataol.
Or catacomb.
Strangely absolute ang impression
Ng hilera ng mga pintong nagpuprusisyon:
Individual identification, parang mummy
cases,
address.
Antiseptic ang atmosphere, streamlined yet.
Kung hindi catacomb,
at least E filing cabinet.
 SPOKEN WORD POETRY
Pagod Na Hindi ko rin naman ito tanggap
ni blu BAE_rry Pero pagmamahalan natin ay hindi na sapat
Tatlong salita, sampung letra At ayoko rin naming magpanggap
Na sumasagabal upang patuloy na mahalin ka Na tila ayos lang ang lahat
Hindi ko ito ginustong maramdaman nang bigla
Pero akoý sadyang napagod na Hindi ko ginusto na ito ang ating maging
katapusan
Hindi ko ginustong ang tayo ay maging ikaw at
Pagod na ako
ako na lang
Pero maniwala ka, ikaw pa rin ang mahal ko
Pero akoý sobra nang nasasaktan
ikaw pa rin ang laman ng aking puso
Sobra na akong nahihirapan…
Ikaw at ikaw pa rin ang imiisip ko
MUSIC
◦ Philippine music continuously evolved, and Pinoy Pop or Filipino pop
music took place. Pinoy pop covers different forms like jazz, dance hits,
folksong, revival, rock and roll, rap, etc. With the development of Pinoy
pop, Manila sound was born. This music is Western-derived with English
lyrics but with pure Filipino spirit. Later on, the Original Pilipino Music
(OPM) became popular.
◦ The OPM was followed by another form of popular music called
“alternative music” influenced by folk balladeers. This type of music
sprouted out of protest that later on included themes like Filipino values,
political and environmental concerns, and other societal themes.
◦ Some examples of alternative music are: Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak,”
Herbert Bautistas “Tayo’y Mga Pinoy,” and Florante De Leon’s “Ako ay
Pilipno.”
THEATRE OR THEATER
◦Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of
performing art that uses live performers, typically
actors or actresses, to present the experience of
a real or imagined event before a live audience
in a specific place, often a stage.

DANCE
Philippine dance has played a tremendous role in Filipino culture. From
one of the oldest dated dances called the Tinikling, to other folkloric
dances such as the Pandanggo, Cariñosa, and Subli, and even to more
modern-day dances like the ballet, it is no doubt that dance in the
Philippine setting has integrated itself in society over the course of many
years and is significantly imbedded in culture. Each of these dances
originated in a unique way and serve a certain purpose, showcasing
how diverse Philippine dances are.
