ARTS
COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
INDUSTRIAL ARTS
 ARE DEFINED AS THE STUDY OF SKILLS NEEDED TO WORK
WITH TOOLS AND MACHINERY
 A COURSE OF STUDY AIMED AT DEVELOPING THE MANUAL
AND TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED TO WORK WITH TOOLS
AND MACHINERY.
 IS AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WHICH FEATURES
FABRICATION OF OBJECTS IN WOOD OR METAL USING A
VARIETY OF HAND POWER OR MACHINE TOOLS
HISTORY
INDUSTRIAL ARTS BEGAN AS EARLY AS PREHISTORIC TIMES WHEN
HUMAN BEINGS FIRST DEVELOPED TOOLS, ACCORDING TO THE
JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION. FORMAL INSTRUCTION FOR
INDUSTRIAL ARTS AROE DURING 1800’S AND CONSISTED OF
MANUAL TRAINING FOR TRADE AND MANUFACTURING. INDUSTRIAL
ARTS EDUCATION BECAME POPULAR IN THE 1900’S AS AN
ALTERNATIVE FOR STUDENTS SEEKING TO LEARN A TRADE. KNOWN
AS THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. THE PURPOSE OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS
CLASSES INCLUDED TEACHING STUDENTS SPECIFIC SKILLS SUCH AS
AUTOMOBILE REPAIR OR FURNITURE DESIGN. TODAY THE MEANING
OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS ENCOMPASSES A WIDE VARIETY OF TECHNICAL

HANDICRAFTS AND ITS
CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMY
HANDICRAFT-

PRECISELY EXPRESSED AS ARTISANAL

HANDICRAFT. SOMETIMES ALSO CALLED
ARTISANRY.A TYPE OF WORK WHERE USEFUL AND
DECORATIVE DEVICES ARE MADE COMPLETELY BY
HAND OR BY USING ONLY SIMPLE TOOLS. IT IS A
TRADITIONAL MAIN SECTOR OF CRAFT.
Handicraft is very important because it
represents our culture and tradition.
It promotes the heritage of our country
through the use of indigenous materials
and it preserve the traditional
knowledge and talents.
THE HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY IS IMPORTANT:
IT PROMOTES OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE THROUGH THE USE OF
INDIGENOUS MATERIALS.
 HANDICRAFT PRODUCTS SHOWS AN INDIVIDUALS CREATIVITY
AND LOFLY IMAGINATION.
PRODUCERS OF RAW MATERIALS WILL BE ENCOURAGE TO
PRODUCE MORE.
EMPLOYMENT IS GENERATED ESPECIALLY FOR THE
UNDERGRADUATES.
VALUES OF PERSEVERANCE AND INDUSTRY AFE DEVELOPED.
HANDICRAFTS
POTTERY-
IS ART OF MAKING OBJECTS FROM HARD CLAY BY
EXPOSING THEM TO HEAT OR FIRE.THIS ART HAS BEEN
USED FOR OVER 9000 YEARS USUALLY CONSIST OF
ARCHEOLOGICAL ARTIFACTS THAT DEFINE AN ERA OR
TIME IN HISTORY
EXAMPLE: POTS, STATUES, CUPS, URNS, VASES, JARS,
FLAT PLATES.
 THE BASIC TOOL IS THE POTTERS WHEEL. IT IS A
SIMPLE TURNHTABLE ON WHICH WET FRESH CLAY
REVOLVES WHILE A POTTER SHAPES IT WITH HIS/HER
HANDS. THE WHEEL ALLOWS THE POTTER TO SHAPE
THE OBJECT UNIFORMLY. AFTER THE OBJECTS
SHAPED, THE SOFT CLAY IS BAKED IN A KILN.
WEAVING-
IS THE MAKING OF FABRIC BY
INTERLACING THREADS.
LOOM- MACHINE USED FOR
WEAVING.
WARPS THREADS ARE STRECHED
ON A FRAME AND AN
INSTRUMENT CALLED A SHUFFLE
CARRIESWEFT THREADS UNDER
AND OVER THE WARP.
WOOD CARVING-
THE ART OF PUTTING DESIGN ON PIECES OF
WOODS.

JEWELRIES-
FAVORITE ACCESSORIES OF ANCIENT PEOPLE.
IT CONSIST OF USUAL AMULETS THAT ARE
USED TO KEEP EVIL SPIRITS AWAY.
METALCRAFT
BRASS, BRONZE, GOLD
AND SILVER ARE
HEATED AND POURED
INTO MOLDS TO MAKE
OBJECTS FROM
JEWELRY TO OTHER
DECORATIVE OBJECTS

 INDIGENOUS MATERIALS USED
FOR HANDICRAFTS
ABACA
KNOWN WORLDWIDE AS MANILA HEMP.
ABACA FIBER IS OBTAINED FROM THE LEAF
SHEATHS OF THE ABACA(MUSA TEXTILIS
NEE) AND IS CONSIDERED AS THE
STRONGEST AMONG NATURAL FIBERS. THE
LENGTH OF THE FIBER VARIES FROM 3 TO 9
FEET OR MORE, DEPENDING ON THE
HEIGHT PF THE PLANT AND THE AGE OF THE
LEAFSHEATHS. THE COLOR OF THE FIBER
RANGES FROM IVORY WHITE TO LIGHT AND
DARK BROWN.
FIBERS-
THEY COME FROM PLANTS WHERE
FIBERS OR THREADLIKE SUBSTANCES
ARE EXTRACTED. FIBERS FROM
COCONUT HUSKS, BURI, MAGUEY,
PINEAPPLE, ABACA, AND BANANA
ARE USED IN MAKING MATRESSES,
CARPET, AND SEAT PADS.
COCONUT SHELLS-
COCONUT TREES ARE
ABUNDANT IN THE
PHILIPPINES. COCOCNUT
SHELLS VARY THICKNESS AND
COLOR DEPENDING ON THE
AGE OF THE NUT. THEY ARE
USED FROR FUEL AND FOR
MANUFACTURING ARTICLES
SUCH AS BUTTONS, PINS,
COIN BANKS, LAMP SHADES
AND FLOWER VASE.
BAMBOO-
STEMS OF BAMBOO PLANTS ARE
STRONGER AND FLEXIBLE.
BAMBOO GROWS IN ALL PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY- IN PLAINS,
FORESTS, HILLS AND MOUNTAINS
AMONG THE VARIETIES OF
BAMBOO ARE SPINY BAMBOO,
KAWAYAN CHINA, KAWAYAN
KILING, BIKAL, AND BUHO.
BURI-
IT IS A PALM FROM WHICH THREE
KINDS OF FIBERS, NAMELY, BURI,
RAFFIA, AND BUNTAL ARE
OBTAINED . THE BURI PALM HAS
LARGE FAN-SHAPED LEAVES WITH
STOUT PETIOLES RANGING FROM
2 TO 3 M IN LENGTH. THE PALM
REACHES A HEIGHT OF 20 TO 40
M AND ITS TRUNK ATTAINS A
DIAMETER OF 1 TO 1.5 M. OF THE
BURI FIBER, BUNTAL IS THE ONE
WITH THE MOST IMPACT IN THE
MARKET.
LEATHER-
IS A MATERIAL CREATED THROUGH
THE TANNING OF HIDES, SKINS AND
KIPS OF ANIMALS. HIDES ARE SKINS
FROM LARGE ANIMALS LIKE
HORSES AND CARABAOS. SKINS
COME FROM SUCH ANIMALS LIKE
ALLIGATORS AND GOATS. KIPS ARE
OBTAINED FROM UNDERSIZED
ANIMALS LIKE LIZARDS. THE
TANNING PROCESS CONVERTS THE
PUTRESCIBLE SKIN INTO A
DURABLE, LONG LASTING, AND
VERSATILE NATURAL MATERIAL FOR
VARIOUS USES.
RATTAN-
IS SUPERFICIALLY SIMILAR TO
BAMBOO, BUT DISTINCT IN THAT THE
STEMS ARE SOLID, RATHER THAN
HOLLOW, AND ALSO THEIR NEED FRO
SOME SORT OF SUPPORT . MANY
RATTANS ARE SPINY, THE SPINES
ACTING AS HOOKS TO AID CLIMING
OVER OTHER PLANTS AND ALSO A
DETER HERBIVORES . IT IS KNOWN TO
GROW UP TO HUNDREDS OF METER
LONG.
