LESSON NO. 1- “INTRODUCTION TO EVOLUTION OF ART”

MODULE 7

Why is it that human’s make art? What are the purposes of his artworks? Men do
it for many reasons and with whatever techniques are
available to them. The oldest secure human art that has
been found dates back to the Late Stone Age during the
Upper Paleolithic; possibly from around 70,000 B.C.; but
certainty from around 40,000 B.C. The first creature works
were made from shell, stone, and paint by Homo sapiens,
using symbolic thought. It was during the Upper Paleolithic
(50,000-10,000 B.C.), that humans practiced hunting and
gathering and lived in caves, where painting was
developed.
During 500,000 years ago, Homo erectus created
engraved shells that were found by experts, and they disagree on whether these
engravings can be properly classified as art. There are many claims of Neanderthal
art, adornment and structures that have made dating from around 130,000 B.P.
(Before Present), and suggested that Neanderthals may have been capable of
symbolic thought, but none of these claims are accepted.
The appearance of creative capacity within these early societies illustrates an
evolutionary selective advantage for artistic individuals. Since survival is not possible
on the production of art, art-producing individuals demonstrated agency over the
environments, in that they had spare time to create once their essential duties like
hunting and gathering were completed.
The earliest human artifacts show evidences of workmanship with an artistic
7
purpose are the subject of some debate. This workmanship existed 40,000 years ago
in the Upper Paleolithic era, although it is possible that it began earlier. The artistic
manifestations of the Upper Paleolithic reached their peak in the Magdalenian Period
(15,000-8,000 B.C.). This creative outpouring is known as the “Upper Paleolithic
Revolution” or as the “Creative Explosion”. Sample of surviving art form from this
period includes small carvings in stone or bone and cave painting. Traces of first
human-made objects appeared in Southern Africa, the Western Mediterranean,
Central and Eastern Europe (Adriatic Sea), Siberia (Baikal Lake); India and Australia.
The first traces are generally worked stone (flint, obsidian) wood or bone tools.
MODULE 7

It was in Franco-Cantabrian region, that the cave paintings have been found.
Pictures are abstract as well as naturalistic, and were symbolically representatives of
activities that required learned- participants. These were used as teaching tools and
showcase as a great need as teaching tools and for communication and specialized
skills for early humans. Animals were painted in the caves of Altamira, Trois Freres,
Chauvet and Lascaux, sculpture. Sculpture is represented by the so-called Venus
figurines, feminine figurines which may have been used in. Fertility cults, such as
Venus of Willendorf. Theories were made that these figures may have been made by
women as expressions of their own body. Paleolithic art functions were magical, being
used in rituals. Paleolithic artists were respected in the community because of their
artworks linked with religious beliefs; artifacts were symbols of deities and spirits.
The caves at Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc, Lascaux. Pech Merle and Altamira contain the
best-known examples of pre-historic paintings and drawing. These were evidences of
evocative renderings of animals and some humans that employ a complex mix of
naturalism and abstraction.
Archaeologists that study Paleolithic era humans believe that the paintings
discovered in 1994, in the cave at Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc in the valley in France are more
than 30,000 years old. Carbon samples date the charcoal used to depict the two-
head—to –head rhinoceros to between 30,340 and 32,410 years before 1995 when
the samples were taken. These drawings depict other large animals including horses,
mammoths, musk ox, ibex, reindeer, aurochs, megaloceros deer, panther, and owl
(scholar note that these animals were not8 then a normal part of people’s diet.)
The sketches and paintings produced in prehistoric times were eventually
stylized and simplified, leading to the development of the written language such as
Egyptian, hieroglyphics, and cuneiform. Drawing has been prominent in the world of
art and is used to express one’s creativity. It was regarded as the foundation for the
artistic practice. Artists used and reused wooden tablets for the production of their
drawings. In the 14th century, widespread availability of paper increased because
drawing in the arts was used as a tool for thought and investigation.
Ancient Egyptians (3,000 B.C) decorated the walls of their temples and tombs
with scenes of daily life. It has a flat and linear style. Texts were written on papyrus in
pen and ink, (an early form of paper) were illustrated with similar designs in pen and
ink. Ancient Greeks, (1,000 B.C.), survived drawing and painting skills of the
MODULE 7

decorated pottery vases, which shows their ability to draw graceful figure and
decorative lines. Through the Greeks, we see the use of naturalism, and focused on
creating lifelike images.
During the Middle Ages (Europe-400-1400 A.D.), the main purpose for
drawing was to produce art mainly to glorify God and to teach religion. Painting and

drawing merged in the illustration of Bibles and prayer books produced by monks,

called illuminated manuscripts. These beautifully decorated manuscripts were hand

lettered on vellum (calfskin) or later

on paper. There were intense uses
of color.

Lack of perspective/space, accurate

scale and proportion. Most works

were created for the church. Thus,

most works are religious (mostly

saints and the Holy Family). Human

bodies are subjected to Catholic

ideologies. Medieval paintings were also called illuminations since there were no
9
portrait paintings during this period. The term iIllumination was inspired by gleaming

effect of a good leaf, when was often applied to the papers of the manuscripts in the

ink and paint.

In the Period of Renaissance (1400s-1500s), artistic flourish brought about

drawings exhibiting realistic representational qualities, where there was a lot of
influence from geometry and philosophy. Paper became widely available and allowed
for drawing to flourish; used for preliminary art works. People could sketch now on the
field (Ex. Da Vinci and his anatomy sketches, so accurate still used today in medical
teachings. The human form is highly studied as well as the nature (fruits, landscapes,
city maps, etc.) The purpose of drawing can be as annotation sketch, a record of
MODULE 7

something seen. As a study or preparation for another usually larger and more
complex work, as an end in itself, a form of art.

Now, let us understood the evolution of art in the

Philippines. Since the events during the Paleolithic Period,
somehow have similarities on how the Pre-historic man
survive his environment, the discoveries and development of
tools for their hunting and gathering counts on his ideas of
making art ornaments, figurines, urns, rock art or petroglyphs
and cave paintings.

LESSON-2: “ART INFLUENCES IN THE PHILIPPINES”

The various forms of arts that have developed and accumulated in the
Philippines comprises our country’s arts from the beginning of civilization in the
country up to the present era. It reflects the10
range of artistic influences on our
culture, including indigenous forms of arts that honed our country’s arts.
The culture in the Philippines resulted from the combination of cultures of the
East and West. Our identity was created as a result of pre-colonial cultures, colonial
influences and foreign traders intermixing and gradually evolving together. Chinese
influence has been felt throughout Southeast Asia through trade, specifically by the
Ming Dynasty and other early dynasties from the 9th century. The blending of
indigenous, colonial and external influence is very evident in the historic arts and
traditions of the country.
Negritos was the first settlers in the Philippine archipelago; they preserve a
very traditional way of life and culture. After them, the Austronesian arrived with
MODULE 7

culture strongly evident in ethnicities, languages, cuisine, music, dance and almost
every aspect of culture. When the Spaniards came and colonized the country, they
influenced us with Christianity, their Spanish architecture which can be observed in
the country’s churches, government buildings and universities. In the past, before the
Spanish colonization, the Nipa hut (Bahay-Kubo) was the common form of housing
among the natives, characterized by use of simple materials such as bamboo and
coconut as the main sources of wood.
During the American occupation in 1898, they introduced a new breed of
architectural structures in the Philippines and led to the construction of government
buildings and Art Deco Theaters. Some semblance of city planning using the
architectural designs and master plans by Daniel Burnham was done on the portions
of the city of Manila. Part of the Burnham plan was the construction of government
buildings that resembled Greek or Neoclassical architecture.

Art in the Philippines refers to the works of art that have

developed and accumulated in the Philippines from the
beginning of civilization in the country up to the present era.
This art reflects to our society and non-Filipinos the wide
range of cultural influences on our culture that honed the
country’s arts.
Many historians believed that the various cultures of the
Philippine archipelago first encountered Hindu and/ or
Buddhist beliefs as early as 2nd or 3rd centuries B.C.E., but some recent scholars
suggest that these cultural influences filtered in mostly during the 10th through the early
14th centuries. Present-day scholars believe these religious and cultural influences
came mostly through trade with Southeast Asian thassalocratic empires such as the
MODULE 7

Srivijaya and Majapahit which in turn had made relationships with India. Scholars such
as Milton Osborne emphasize that despite these beliefs being originally from India,
they reached the Philippines through Southeast Asia culture with Austronesian roots.
The artifacts reflect the iconography of the Vajrayana Buddhism and its influences on
the Philippines early states.
An Indian influence to Philippine art includes copper of Buddha of Ma-I (metal
relics). Buddhist Image reproduced in mould on a clay medallion (from Calatagan);
image in the pot, resembles iconographic portrayal of Buddha in Siam, India and
Nepal; The Golden Tara (languages from Sanskrit and ancient potteries.
Tagalog/Batangueños had attained a semblance of high civilization, (e.x. jewelry made
from chambered nautilus shell, where tiny holes were created by a drill-like tool.
With the arrival of the new colonial power came a swift in art patronage from the
native ilustrados to the Americans. New patrons including the tourists and foreign
investors, favored landscapes, still life, and genre themes that show the beauty of the
land and its people. Portraits were still favored by the public officials, usually depicting
dignified poses. This brought high influence to the major Filipino art forms; paintings,
sculptures and architectures.

Some Filipino artists were: Fabian de la Rosa (1869-1937) _the first painter of
note for the 20th century; with his realistic portrait, genre, and landscape in subdued
colors; often considered as the brightest name in Filipino painting. He is regarded as
“master of genre” in Philippine art. His nephew Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972),
12 and had a long artistic career; he was
captured the attention of public and the buyers,
the First National Artist in 1972.

His painting bursting with yellow-orange and golden sunlight captured the
Philippine landscape in all its glory. If de la Rosa‘s work was of subdued, cool colors,
then Amorsolo’s landscapes are bathe in the glorious Philippine sunlight. His other
themes used were: landscapes, idealized the rural life of the working men and women;
depicted farmers and fisher folks doing their work without much effort, seemingly
enjoying themselves in arduous tasks. He depicts ever-smiling “Dalagang Bukid”, a
trademark which able to show the ideal beauty of Philippine landscape, rural life and
the Filipinas. Jorge Pineda, Ireneo Miranda, Dominador Castañeda and Pablo
Amorsolo contributed to the development of genre, painting.

In 1920’s young painters start to question the Amorsolo; School style that
became the standard for painting; they strove to develop new idioms in expressing
themselves; change away aesthetics standards. Victorio Edades (1895-1985, fresh
from a trip to the U.S. opened a show at Philippine Columbian Club at Ermita Manila.
His influenced, exhibition of modern art in the U.S, He depict people covered with
 MODULE 7

sweat and grime” _ The Builders” in 1928 and made it quite controversy depicted
naked working men covered in sweat and grime the first modernist painting in the
country.

In 1934, Edades recruited two young dropouts of the U.P.School of Fine Arts:
Carlos “Botong” Francisco and Galo B. Ocampo. They help him execute a mural art
and formed the Triumvirate of Modern Art. Carlos “Botong” Francisco (1913-1969).an
Angono based painter depicted Phil. History in his “History of Manila”, mural at the
Manila City Hall. His trademark defying the rules of linear perspective set by the local
academy.
