Workshop 1 Activity 2
1. Why, despite the introduction of foreign
expressions, the native elements (indigenous
arts) remained? Give examples.
The indigenous arts in the Philippines have been
carefully conserved. It is regarded as a
priceless relic from the past that will never be
forgotten. So Even if the foreign expression
were introduced the native element still
remained because of the deep meaning that it
holds to everyone. Indigenous visual arts serve
as a platform for cultural expression and a
means of preserving and transmitting culture. It
somehow reflect on how we express ourselves in
the past.
The Burik, a tattoo with a traditional Filipino
motif, is an example of art that is still
present. Despite the numerous strange concepts
that have been brought to us, we still recognize
the worth and allure of it. Each tattoo design
has a significant meaning; some of them depict
bravery, beauty, social position, etc.
