Architecture
PAINTING
In the early 19th century, wealthier, educated Filipinos introduced more secular
Filipino art, causing art in the Philippines to deviate from the religious motifs. The
use of watercolor paintings increased and the subject matter of paintings began to
include landscapes, Filipino inhabitants, Philippines fashion and officials. Portrait
paintings featured artist’s names painted ornately as well as day-to-day scenes of
average Filipinos partaking their daily tasks. These paintings were done on canvas,
wood and variety of metals. During World World War 2, some painters focused their
artwork on the effects of war, including battle scenes, destruction, and the suffering
of the Filipino people.
SCULPTING
Is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions, and one of the
plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of
material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal,
ceramics, wood and other materials, since modernism, shifts in cultural process led
to an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of
materials maybe worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or
modelling, or molded, or cast.
MUSIC
As the popularity of the Pilipino Cultural Nights and the Folk Arts
Groups gain their ascendency, so too, does the need to create and
recreate Philippine dance forms. Among these contemporary issues are
the ideas of bringing the village dance to the stage, the connections
among the various Philippine dance, the ownership of world-influence
and the dances of Filipinos from diaspora.
ARCHITECTURE
is a reflection of the country's historical and cultural heritage. Most
prominent historic structures in the archipelago are based on a mix
of indigenous Austronesian, Chinese, American,
and Spanish influences. During three hundred thirty years of Spanish
colonialization, the Philippine architecture was dominated by
the Spanish influences. The Augustinian friars, along with other
religious orders, built a large number of grand churches and
cathedrals all over the Philippine Islands. During this period the
traditional Filipino Bahay na bató (Filipino for "stone house") style for
the large houses emerged. These were large houses built of stone and
wood combining Filipino, Spanish and Chinese style elements.
