THE DEVELOPMENT OF VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Lesson Introduction:
The Philippine visual arts encompass a range of forms developed by Filipinos in the Ethnic, Spanish,
American, and contemporary traditions. In ethnic communities, pottery, weaving, carving, and metal craft are
made for ritual purposes or for everyday use. Spanish colonization introduced painting and sculpture whose
subject matter was for the most part religious, although secular themes and forms emerged in the 19th century
under the patronage of the new mestizo elite. The American period witnessed the conflict between conservatism
and modernism, with the latter gaining ground in the end in painting and sculpture. After World War II artists
explored a variety of Western and Eastern styles, media, and philosophies—some consciously were going back to
ethnic roots—to express themselves as individuals and as Filipinos.

SYNTHESIS:
The visual arts are art forms such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics,
photography, video, filmmaking, design, crafts, and architecture. Many artistic disciplines such as performing
arts, conceptual art, textile arts also involve aspects of visual arts as well as arts of other types.
Early Filipino painting can be found in red slip (clay mixed with water) designs embellished on the
ritual pottery of the Philippines such as the acclaimed Manunggul Jar. It also manifested in the tattoo
tradition of early Filipinos, whom the Portuguese explorer referred to as Pintados or the ‘Painted People’ of
the Visayas.
Philippine Sculpture is the most familiar art forms among Filipinos. From the transitional carving of
anitos to the santos to Christ and down to the saints, Filipinos find it rather not difficult as they are already
familiar with.
The architecture of the Philippines reflects the historical and cultural traditions in the country. Most
prominent historic structures in the archipelago are influenced by Austronesian, Chinese, Spanish, and
American architectures.
