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.

determine since the word has been used
loosely used even during the American

art historians/critics have always been a
follower of the Western Art Style and its

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.

ALLONA ZYRA G. CAMBRONERO AB POLITICAL SCIEANCE 3
In the early times, music was passed on through tradition.
The most primitive music has vocal music forms.
The Greek period is the beginning of medieval polyphonic music.
Majority of the music in the Middle Ages was sacred and only the monks
could write the musical compositions.
Music Music was revolutionized by the end of the 18th century or at the time of
Beethoven.
The modern period in music was more of a personal expression of the
artist’s view of life than of the nation.
English and American literature was introduced in the Philippines by the
Thomasites.
In the early period of Philippine literature, drama and poetry were hardly
written because vernacular plays and zarzuela became the popular theatrical
arts among the Filipinos.
Between 1930 and 1960, Philippine literature in English had tremendously
flourished and improved, particulary in essay, short story and poetry
Literature The short story showed a rapid improvement in terms of quality and depth.
The modern or contemporary period of Philippine literature in English is
characterized by a growing sense of nationalism and deeper search for
identity.
Philippine dances during the early times drew inspirations from the myths,
traditions, and customs of the Filipino nativs.
Philippine dances went through a period of difficulties and great strides.
Between 1920 and 1945, Philippine dances were faced with many changes
and exchanges.
Dance The Bayanihan Native Dance Troupe established the Dance
Performance Center for Filipino cultural dancers.
The Philippine dance has been an important tool in promoting cultural
change and exchange.
Cinema is said to have been introduced in the Philippines a year after the
brothers Auguste and Louis Lumiere of France held a screening of projected
motion pictures.
The term cinematografe was shortened to cine or cinema.
The year 1909 spurred the major development in local cinema.
Cinema Between 191- 1915, numerous film companies were established in
thePhilippines.
Jose Nepomuceno is the father of Philippines movies.
ALLONA ZYRA G. CAMBRONERO AB POLITICAL SCIEANCE 3
SYNTHESIS:
Music, dance, fashion, painting, sculpture, and architecture show evidence of these. It is generally
assumed that dance and music as a medium of artistic expression are the most popular among Filipinos. The
Philippine Performing Arts Company is proud to present to the public these facets of the Philippine cultures.
