Ethnic tradition
Art forms during the Pre-colonial period were mainly influenced by geographical
location and the practices of the Filipinos. Most of their arts were animist or
community-inspired. For early Filipinos who lived in highlands, dance steps were
imitations of movements of animals like birds while those who were near the
coastline mimicked sea creatures movements. Tattoo was believed to be an art
during this period. It served as war medal for killing an enemy in a war. Tints from
woods or charcoal were used to draw tattoos. In terms of visual arts, wood
carving, weaving, and pottery were leading during this period. For their
architecture, they used native resources like anahaw, bamboo, cogon, and rattan
in building their houses. Epics, myths, riddles, and proverbs were few from their
literature. Content of music varied from war, rowing, courting, reaping, etc.
Instruments like bamboo flutes and brass gongs were used to accompany their
songs. On the subject and concept of theater arts, ethnic performances and
ceremonials were the early theatrical presentations describing their principles in
life.
Art forms expanded letting artists experiment with var ious materials
and methodologies. Hence, artists created non -conventional creations with
wide range of themes. Contemporary Filipino architecture focused on urban
planning, economic zone, and regionalism.

paint, charcoal and watercolor. Sculpture, on the other hand, is three-dimensional

part of the Order of National Artists.
Photo by letter Ks—the “KKK” stands for the Official CCP’s motto: “Katotohanan,
Gazette Kabutihan, at Kagandahan” (“the
true, the good, and the beautiful”), as coined by then first lady Mrs. Imelda
Romualdez Marcos, the CCP’s founder. The composition of the Grand
Collar is silver gilt bronze. In place of a rosette there is an enamelled pin in

Executive Order No. 435, s. 2005 amended Section 5 (IV) of EO 236, giving the
President the power to name National Artists without need of a recommendation,
relegating the NCCA and the CCP to mere advisory bodies that may or may not
be heeded. This expanded President Gloria Macapagal-
Arroyo’s flexibility to proclaim National Artists at her discretion, which led to the
controversy of 2009 and the subsequent intervention of the Supreme Court by
issuing a status quo ante order against the awardees that year.
