One of the outstanding characteristics of Chinese art is the extent to which it

reflects the class structure that has existed at different times in Chinese
history.
It is a combination of music, art and literature and is characterized by the
unique facial make-up, excellent acrobatics and has many different regional
variations. Chinese Painting is divided into three genres - figures, landscapes,
and birds-and-flowers and each type has its distinctive characteristics.

When you search and look for a certain chinese painting, you can easily
notice that most of them are rectangular in shape and very very long.
This is because Chinese paintings typically depict nature, they always
paint something that is part of the forest, mountain or bodies of eater. Some
of it are falls, bamboo trees, tall grasses, outcropping of large rocks and
tall trees.

The character of Chinese painting,like that of Chinese calligrapy, is closely

bound up with the nature of the medium.The basic material is ink,formed into
a short stick
hardened pine soot and glue,which is rubbed to the required consistency on
an inkstone with a little water.

definitely an art. they considered nature as a tool to present art. cave painting
that portray religious ceremonies, rituals are proof that human can find ways
to appreciate nature, more than anything else.

Spanish art has been an important contributor to Western art and Spain has
produced many famous and influential artists including Velázquez, Goya and
Picasso. ... In the Iron Age large parts of Spain were a centre for Celtic art,
and Iberian sculpture has a distinct style, partly influenced by coastal Greek
settlements.
The terms classic or classical came into use in the seventeenth century to describe the arts
and culture of the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome. The following of the principles of
these ancient civilisations in art, architecture and literature is referred to as classicism.

The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods.
Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music, but a more
sophisticated use of form. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line
over a subordinate chordal accompaniment,[2] but counterpoint was by no
means forgotten, especially in liturgical vocal music and, later in the period,
secular instrumental music. It also makes use of style galant which
emphasized light elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and
impressive grandeur. Variety and contrast within a piece became more
pronounced than before and the orchestra increased in size, range, and
power.

There are 4 prominent forms of art in the Philippines during the pre-colonial
period namely: Sculpture/Carving Pottery Weaving Physical Ornaments/
Jewelry These emanate the rich culture of the Filipinos even before the
colonization period. Philippine pre-colonial art reflects nature and the life of
the common folk through various media techniques and processes based on
the factors of time, climate, resources, ideas and historical and cultural
context. SCULPTURE Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by
shaping or combining hard materials, typically stone such as marble, metal,
glass, or wood, or plastic materials such as clay, textiles, polymers and softer
metals. Carving is one of the techniques used in sculpture.
Through Migration and Trade during Pre-Colonial Period, there was a lively
cultural interchange between the Philippines and other Asian countries. This
helped Philippines to develop their own way of living, their own culture such
as pottery, weaving, woodcarving, jewelry, etc.

JAPANESE INFLUENCES The development of art was also stopped.

Filipinos greatly feared the "zoning". There were Filipinos spies hired by the
Japanese to point those who were suspected of being part of the guerilla
movement. The Japanese made some changes in the system of education.
Buddhism and, to a lesser degree, Shinto, Japan's earliest belief system, were
influences on Japanese art. Buddhism came from Korea in the 6th century,
leading to the construction of religious sites and sculptures that adhered to
Korean and Chinese prototypes.
Filipinos in Japan are met with indifference at best. But they're generally
uncool foreigners - pretty much like other Southeast Asians. Japanese people
will notice that you're a foreigner and simply go on their way or look down on
you depending on the person.

Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through
19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such
subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from
history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and
erotica.

OF ALL THE ARTS, music is regarded as the "most universal" in its appeal
and acceptance. ... Philippine society in general has witnessed the evolution
of music expressed in different forms and stylistic nuances through time.
Filipinos, one important function of music is to celebrate or commemorate
important events in the human life cycle. ... Fortunately, until today, these rich
indigenous musical traditions live on. They serve as a reminder of the
Filipinos' long history of musical talent and ingenuity

Answer:
Masterpieces reflect the life, the soul, the ideals, the aspiration, and the
distinct identity of a people. An earnest attempt is therefore being made in the
Philippines to give a new impetus to the cultivation and development of the
arts.
Explanation:
Filipino culture shall be preserved and developed for national identity. Arts
and letters shall be under the patronage of the State. The exclusive right to
inventions, writings and artistic creations shall be secured to inventors,
authors and artists for a limited period. Scholarships, grants-in-aid, or other
forms of incentives shall be provided for specially gifted citizens.
This policy is founded on the firm belief that the core and substance of the
national culture would disintegrate, and interest only the collecting aesthete in
search of the exotic, unless that culture constitutes an identifiable whole. An
important place must be allocated to the customs, traditions, beliefs and
interests of ethnic communities. These are not an intrusive element in what is
referred to as the lowland Christian culture, but rather constitute an essential
part of the Filipino make-up and a genuine source of the basic cultural
personality. They represent a constant invitation to discover and experience
the underlying cultural identity, the original fabric of the Filipino soul.
Culture must not be treated as a bookish or museum commodity, for
intellectual contemplation only, but as a living entity. It must not be confined to
an élite but be accessible to every Filipino. In this sense, the State and all the
schools and universities must be its propagation agents, fostering love of
country, civic spirit, moral character and personal discipline.
A culture that unchangingly remains what it is or has always been is for all
intents and purposes dead; hence the State’s sustained interest in the
promotion of arts and letters through various forms of incentive and induce-
ment which range from securing the rights of authors and artists, to
establishing a climate in which art and literature can flourish. If a culture is to
endure and remain viable, it must have an outlook that gives it meaning,
cohesion and force. It must be geared to the present and be able to adapt
itself to the future of the society that produces it. Society cannot remain in the
doldrums, stable but unmoving. It must come to terms with science and the
challenge of change.
Culture must therefore be the affair of every Filipino, as an inalienable right
and obligation of citizenship. No culture can live on mystical air only-even
monasteries need the support of working people to survive. A saintly,
mediaeval-type culture is not very practicable in an age of competitive
economics and super-power relations. The scientific spirit, however,
admirable as it may be, must be tempered by humanity. Secular or otherwise,
the spirit of humanism implies not only that man is the first study of man, but
that we must all keep open minds and the desire to understand other men and
other cultures.
Cultural identity must not be confused with national or ethnic self-glorification,
but seen rather as the only proper basis for seeking to understand other
cultural identities, for accepting and taking with gratitude what other nations
have discovered and produced, ready to share one’s own culture in return for
others to appreciate and enjoy.
base on my own opinion, colonization affect the literature of the Philippines,
because, through colonization we develop our own literature. Our literature
are based of the people or group of people that conquered us like spaniards
and japanese and others.....Our traditional traits are also base on the
colonizers like piesta and etc... It also includes our language we know that
some of our language (Filipino) are based on spanish words.All in all.... this
serve as a bond between us and the ather group civilizations.... throughout
the world.

the spaniards brought the western culture and attached it in to the

philippines, then the filipinos were slowly influenzed by their culture which
influenzed their way of thinking. Slowly, the spaniards introduced their own
philosophy of life, habits, language, clothing, games, religionarts, music and
even the way of cooking. Then when the other colonies came, they also did
the same.

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[1] and non-
traditional arts.[2] Each branch is further divided into various categories with
subcategories
