 What I Need to Know

The history of art includes a vast range of influences from various

culture and religion. The Philippine art reflects to its society and to non-

 What is It

Now that you have the

idea about the topic, it’s
time for us to officially
start the lesson.

The influences of arts in the Philippines from other countries display

the richness of history and tradition. Arts allow people from different culture
and different times to communicate with each other via images and stories.
Often times, arts become a vehicle of change.

THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL INFLUENCES OF AN ARTWORK IN

BRUNEI, INDONESIA, AND MALAYSIA TO THE PHILIPPINE ARTS

FABRIC DESIGN

BRUNEI

Brunei produces fabric for making gowns and

sarong. The weaving and decoration of the cloth as well
as wearing, displaying and exchanging of it, have been
an important part of Bruneian culture for years.

Two types of clothing in Brunei are called batik

and ikat. Batik is dyed cotton cloth decorated through a technique known as
wax-resist dyeing. Workers start from plain cotton and draw patterns with
melted wax. The cloth is dipped in dye that colors unprotected fabric. Ikat is
made through a similar process as batik, but instead of dyeing the pattern
onto finished cloth, it is created during weaving. Ikat patterns were specific to
cultural groups and were passed down from generation to generation.
INDONESIA

Machine–made printed malongs are made in

Indonesia specifically for export to the Philippines, and
are commonly referred to as “batik” because the item is
imported; those inexpensive machine–made malongs
are used for everyday purposes.

The malong and other Philippine wraparound skirts are related to the
sarong worn by peoples in other parts of Maritime South East Asia (Indonesia,
Malaysia, Brunei)

MALAYSIA
Batik is a textile art in Malaysia. The most
popular motifs are leaves and flowers. Malaysian batik
representing humans or animals are rare, because
Islam norms disallow animal images as decoration.
However, the butterfly theme is a common exemption.
The Malaysian batik is famous for its geometrical designs such as spiral.

PHILIPPINES

Weaving involves many threads being measured,

cut, and mounted on a wooden platform. The threads are
dyed and weaved on a loom. Native Filipinos weave using
fibers from abaca, cotton, and bark cloth. Textiles, clothes,
rugs, and hats were weaved.They also used weaving to
make just about all of the clothing that was worn.
Hand woven malongs are made by Maranao, Maguindanao and T’boli
weavers on a backstrap loom. The pattern or style of the malong may show
the weaver’s tribal origin.
 ARTS AND CRAFTS

BRUNEI
Traditional arts and crafts form a large section of
Brunei’s cultural heritage. Boat making, silver-smithing
(technique of making silver), bronze tooling
(shaping/cutting), cloth weaving, and basket making are
examples of the types of artistry celebrated and followed
in modern-day culture.

INDONESIA
Considered as home of world handicraft,
Indonesian arts and crafts are diverse: jewelry,
beadwork, batik, pottery, metal, baskets, woodcarving
and stone carving. Every ethnic group has its own
uniqueness, style and philosophy of crafting. Villages in
the Lesser Sunda islands produce ikat while provinces in Kalimantan are long
known for their basketry and weaving using rattan and other natural fabrics.

MALAYSIA
Waubulan,one of the Malaysian national symbols,
is acomplicated moon-kite design.Bulan means “moon.”
Its name is from the crescent moon-like shape found at
the lower section of the kite.

PHILIPPINES

Baskets are weaved in Philippines. These are

commonly used totransport grain, store food, and
catch fish.
 SCULPTURE

BRUNEI

Sculpture in Brunei takes on a more

functional role than an ornamental one. The people
have a long tradition as excellent craftsmen using
bronze and silver to create adornments and
functional items such as bowls, tools, and the like.

INDONESIA

The Indonesian sculptors’ skills are impressive;

how they handle the metal tools, the sharp carving
tools slowly putting away wood chips and
transforming the rough wood log into art. Traditional
carvings decorate walls, doors and columns.

MALAYSIA

Most of Malaysia’s sculptures are relief – these

are partially carved into or out of another surface.
Relief wood carvings frequently adorn the doors, walls
and windows of traditional Malay houses.

The best Malay woodcarving is from Terengganu and Kelantan.

Passed down from one generation to another, the craft is divided into
ukiranhalus (fine carving) and ukirankasar (literally meaning “rough carving”).

PHILIPPINES

Sculpture is the most familiar art form among

Filipinos. The most popular woodcarving in the Philippines are carvings of the
anitos (nature gods), santos (saints), and statues of Christ and the Blessed
Mother. Sculpture has undergone changes in terms of shape, size, and the
medium used.

Kendi is a Maranao heirloom (pamana) teapot

or kettle used for hot water, coffee, or tea used as
ritual pouring vessel during weddings and other
ceremonies.
