FILIPINO ART TENDENCIES

Philippine art.

 Broadest aspect technique. Filipino artworks often try to show many ideas of an
object, depicting how Filipinos think it looks like rather than how it is actually seen.

 Multiple focal points. Related with the first tendency, many artists use multiple
focal points in their composition in efforts to try to represent the sentiments of the
different members of society.

 Highly expressive. Being born in a very social environment, Filipinos are more
emphatic, spontaneous, and emotional.

 Polychromatic. Filipinos love colorful, decorative arts, and crafts.

 Maximalism. Filipino art has an inclination to fill up space with forms and
ornamentation. This is said to be rooted in the expressiveness of the Filipinos.
