TECHIQUES TO CONTEMPORARY ART CREATIONS

There are Places in the Philippines which are famous because of the extraordinary or unusual
but special products that they produce. These products become the instruments in spreading
the news about this place. These people use traditional techniques in creating one art or maybe
more which makes them famous and draw people to these places. Traditional techniques used
by the Filipinos even from the past years are depicted in our painting, sculpture, dance,
architecture, music, an even textile. It only proves that Filipinos like any other people in the
world can be very proud of our Philippine arts.
Painting

Early Filipinos painting can be in red chip (play mixed with water)
designs embellished on the ritual pottery of the Philippines such as
the acclaimed “Manuggal Jar” which is a burial jar. Philippine
pottery has been a long tradition and evidence of this pottery-
making in Sanga-sanga, Sulu and Laurente Cavite in Cagayan.
Pottery began the making the earthenware articles for domestic use
ask cooking vessel and storage container. The early parts were
made by hand molding or the use of paddle and vessel in building
the walls of pots. The pot could be embellished by either carving the
paddle wrapping it with cord and slapping it against the side to
leave marks. Incised designs also appeared in the pots in Masbate.
Among the finest of earl Philippine pottery designs are footed dishes
that were decorated with geometric cutouts, molding, cording or
finger impressions, most of these were made in Batangas. At this
time, chip (a mixture of clay and water) rather that glazes is still used “Manunggal Jar”
by Filipino Potters to seal the pottery and the pottery is often fried Photo taken by: Xiaochua
(friend in a bonfire rather than in oven). Pottery traditions continued to develop in certain locals,
such as Burnay Unglazed Clay pottery of Vigan.

The pottery traditions of Burnay are among the pottery traditions that have been maintained,
along with those of Leyte and Bohol. Further evidence of painting is in the tattoo traditions of
early Filipinos that survives and manifested it among the arts and architecture of the Maranao,
who are well-known for the “Naga Dragons” and the “Sarimanok Craved” and painted in the
beautiful Panolong of their Torogans or Sultan’s house. Among the modernist painters such as
Damian Domingo, Juan Luna, Felix Hidalgo, and others, a certain Elito Circa stood out; He is
popularly known as “Amang Pintor” who gained recognition by using his hair to make his paint
brushes and sways his painting with his blood on the right-side corner.

Indigenous Art

indigenous materials are also used as a medium in
different kinds of artworks especially in a painting
by Elito Circa, a folk artist of Pantabangan and a
pioneer for using indigenos materials, natural raw
materials including human blood. Many Filipino
painters were influenced by thus and started using
these materials such as an extract from onion,
tomato, tuba, coffee, molasses, and other materials
available anywhere. The lumad people of Mindanao

Sarimanok is the most well-known design in the
Philippine. The figure represents a fowl with wings,
feathers, tail and a head decorated with ornamentals of
scrolled and painted motif of leaves, spirals and feather-
like forms. It usually stands on a fish, and other hangs

symbolizes the status as a citizen in their
community. It depicts the wealth and power of
the owner who is called “Kadanagyan”, or a
person who belongs to the higher status in the
society. Only the rich can afford to own it
together with a ritual after the completion of the
chair. This chair is made of Narra or Ipil-Ipil and
the original design is called “Ginulding-Gulding”,
meaning like a goat-like head. At present Hagabi

native Filipinos. It is characterized using simple
materials such as bamboo and coconut as the
main source of wood. Cogon grass and nipa
palm leaves and coconut fronds are used as roof
thatching. Most primitive homes are built on
stilts due to frequent flooding during the rainy
season. Regional variations include the use of
thicker and dense roof thatching in mountain
areas. On longer stilts on coastal areas particularly if
