This part of the module will help us to have a wider understanding
on the historical development of arts from the pre-colonial period
to present time. This will also give an insight on a clear

people in the society. Various contemporary art forms were
discussed to guide the students to differentiate contemporary arts
from the modern art.
Also, the national artist award was presented to determine the
significant contributions of our artist in the societal issues.

I. Pre-conquest
➢ In art-historical terms, it means before the coming of the first
colonizers. In stylistic terms, it refers to the indigenous to emphasize
the idea that our ancestors have been making art even before
colonization. Our ancestors live a simple life of ritual, music, dance,
theater, and even literature. When they told stories about the hunt, this
form of oral storytelling marked the beginnings of literature. When they
imitated the movements of animals, this marked the beginnings of a
theater or play-acting, when they add drum beating and attach rhythm
to movements, they had given birth to music and dance.
➢ There were ethnic musical instruments like pipes, flutes, zithers,
drums, string instruments like kudyapi (three-stringed guitar),
kulintang (array bossed gongs), gansa (flat gong), and agong (large
bossed gong)
➢ Pre-colonial Filipinos have a rich tradition in carving. People of
Cordilleras carve bulul (granary god). Ifugaos produce hagabi (wooden
bench indicating socioeconomic status). Laguna and Pampanga were
known for carving santos or sculptures of saints. Paete Laguna is
known for carving tradition. The Manunggul Jar, from Palawan is a
secondary burial vessel.
➢ The Philippines has a rich textile weaving tradition that imparts
knowledge about people’s belief system: reverence for spirits and socio-
political structure. Ornamentation was also evident in which early
Filipinos adorned their bodies. An upper-class Tagalog was portrayed
wearing jewelry while the Visayans were fully covered with tattoo
referring to their place as “Islas de los Pintados”

II. Spanish Colonial Period (1521-1898)

➢ Art that flourished during Spanish colonization conformed to the
demands of the church and colonial state. The natives were forced
to settle in towns called plaza complex. Baroque churches were built
examples of these that survived today are San Agustin Church in
Manila, Morong Church in Rizal, Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte, and
Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Church in Iloilo.
➢ Images of saints were produced through painting, sculpting, and
engraving. Interpretations of biblical narratives were considered
essential to worship. The santo or saints were made of ivory or wood.
➢ Spaniards brought western musical instruments like a pipe organ,
violin, guitar, and piano. Pasyon or pabasa, a biblical narration of
Christ’s passion, chanted in an improvised melody or tune of
popular love songs among younger readers.
➢ In 1884, the expatriates Juan Luna and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo
won medals in Madrid Exposition. Luna won gold medal for his
painting Spoliarium, while Hidalgo garnered silver medal for
Virgenes Christianas Expuestas al populacho.
III. American Colonial Period (1898-1940)
➢ Filipino playwrights found themselves confronted by censorship
which banned the writing, printing, and publication of materials
advocating Philippine independence.
➢ English was the medium of communication. Poems, stories, and
books were dramatized in the classroom. Lino Castillejo and Jesus
Araullo authored A Modern Filipina, the first Filipino play written
in English

10
 ➢ A new urban pattern for health, education, and governance.
Architect Daniel Burnham designed Manila and Baguio.
IV. Japanese Occupation (1941-1945)
➢ Japanese forces led the formation of the Greater East Asia Co-
Prosperity Sphere, a movement that rejected western tradition.
Japanese sponsored newspapers and magazines such as Liwayway
and Tribune.
➢ In music, the composer National Artist Felipe P. De Leon has been
commanded to write Awit sa Paglikha ng Bagong Pilipinas
➢ Fernando Amorsolo’s paintings like Harvest scene (1942) and Rice
Planting 1942 evoke a semblance of peace. Sylvia La Torre’s hit song
Sa Kabukiran written in Tagalog in 1940 by composer Levi Celerio
(National Artist for Music and Literature 1997)
V. The 70s to Contemporary
➢ Under Martial law, Marcos envisioned a New Society or Bagong
Lipunan, which worked about the rebirth of a lost civilization. This
vision propagated thru an art and culture program that combined
fine arts, architecture, interior design, tourism, convention city-
building, engineering, urban planning, and health.

The CCP as Shrine for Arts

The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is a premier bureaucratic entity through
which art acquisition, exhibition making, workshops, grants, and awards were
implemented. It was created on June 25, 1966, and inaugurated in 1969. Leandro
Locsin as the chief architect of Imelda Marcos designed the building.

11
 What is It

The next lesson will focus on the various contemporary art forms, the criteria in the
selection of national artist awards, and the privileges of a national artist.

Different Contemporary Art Forms

It’s through art that we’re able to communicate with the world our internal feelings
as well as our imagination that simply exists inside our heads. There are distinct
types of art such as sculpture, painting, literature, design, music, dancing, theatre,
photography, and movies.

Fine Arts are made primarily for aesthetic enjoyment through the senses especially
visually and auditory. The following are considered fine arts:
• Painting
• Literature

Practical arts are intended for practical use or utility. The following are considered
practical arts:
• Sculpture
• Architecture

Performing art involves movement, speaking, and gestures. The following are
