Did you know that painting started during the pre-
historical period? They used painting materials from the
environment like
red ochre and black pigment. Early paintings showed hunting
scenes of mam chasing various big animals like horses,
rhinoceros, lions, buffaloes, mammoths, and others. During
those times there were no records yet but the ancient arts they
produced were very evident and it can be seen drawn on walls of
caves, blocks of stones in environment, and other materials are
found in their native homes used as part of their daily living. The
history of eastern painting is as old as the civilization of China.
Historically comparable to Western painting. Even Eastern
countries continued to influence each others production of arts

Arts of East Asia are greatly influenced by nature used as

birds, plants, trees, bamboos, flowers, landscapes and anything
with aesthetics in their environment.

Countries of East Asia are JAPAN, China and Korea.

Each of them follow specific painting themes.

. IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF EAST ASIAN PAINTING:

•Landscape painting was regarded as the highest form of Chinese
painting, they consider 3 important concepts of their arts in
order: “Heaven”, “Earth” and “Humankind”, the “Yin Yang” , China
is basically an agricultural country,which enable them to
understand the pattern of nature and live in accordance with it.
•Silk was often used as fabric, but only China create paintings
and calligraphy on silk mediums, they are mounted on scrolls,
and landscape paintings, which later were made on paper after its
discovery by CAI LUN in 1st Century A.D. , which provide not only
cheap widespread medium for writing but also made painting more
economical.

• Their belief and religion also have great influence on east Asian
arts, as Chinese arts follow the ideologies of Confucianism,
Daoism, and Buddhism, which played important role in East Asian
Arts.

•The Daoist aspect of Chinese painting is evident in the use of

landscapes, bamboo, birds and flowers, expresses understanding
of human relationship.

•Korean painting have subjects such as landscapes, facial

features, Buddhist topics and emphasis on celestial observations
keeping with he rapid increase of Korean economy.

.•Mountains and waters are important features of Korean

landscape painting because it is a site for temples and buildings.
•Landscape painting represents both portrayal of nature and
codified illustration of human view of the world and nature.

In Architecture, East Asian temples and houses have ”

sweeping roofs” with figures which they call as “roof guards”
because they believe that it will protect them from elements of
water, wind and fire. It is a Buddhist belief to ward off evil spirits.

Main types of roofs:

1.Staight Inclined- are more economical for common Chinese
architecture
2.Multi-inlined – used for residences of wealthy Chinese
3.Sweping Roofs- have curves that rise at the corners of the roofs
usually reserved for temples and palaces.

“Woodblock printing” was originated in China, a technique for

printing text, images, and patterns, which is also used in
Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia of Southeast Asia for the
mass production of their “batik products” for barter and trading
purposes, and for local use,
In Korea a certain arts known as OKEYO-E is so much related with
woodblock printing
But they use abstract Korean images and scenes that show
harmony and everyday life,

East Asian Countries have theatrical forms like “Peking Opera” of

China, and “Kabuki” of Japan. The different colors of artistically
designed face paintings and masks in Peking opera reveal the type
of role of the character. Kabuki hero characters uses light colors
and standard make up, while Kumadori represents villain
characters different patterns of painted faces in Japanese Kabuki
Theater. Korea also uses designed masks in their Shamanistic
rites which are then kept in temples and honored as offerings.

Colors use in KUMADORI:

RED lines on masks indicate passion, heroism, righteousness,
and other positive traits
PINK for youthful joy
LIGHT BLUE for an even temper

 Region IX: Zamboanga Peninsula Hymn – Our Eden Land
Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair
Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care
Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound,
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!,
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight,
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need.
I die just when I see the dawn break,
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day;
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take,
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake
To dye with its crimson the waking ray.
My dreams, when life first opened to me,
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high,
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free;
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire,
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ;
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire;
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow,
In the grassy sod, a humble flower,
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so,
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power.
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes,
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ;
And if on my cross a bird should be seen,
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes.
I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain
future. As such I must prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of
meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing
my obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of
ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries the memory comes
rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in
ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see
them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind,
carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free abundance
of new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed
that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance.
In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to
battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula
in the combat against the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and
Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my
manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds
that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand
years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the
insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage in the
unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanons, Boholanos, Ilongos,
All of them are proud and true

Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
And whe n the dark ni gh t wraps the grave yard around
With only the de ad in the ir vi gil to se e
Bre ak not my re pose or th e myste ry profound
And pe rchance thou mays t he ar a sad hym n re sound
'T is I, O my country, rais ing a song un to the e .
And e ve n my grave is re me mbe red no more
Unmark'd by ne ve r a cros s nor a s tone
Le t the plow swe e p through i t, the spade turn it o'e r
That my ashe s may carpe t e arthly floor,
Be fore into nothing ne ss at last the y are blown.

Throbbing and cle anse d in thy space and air
With color a nd lig ht, wi th song and l ame nt I fa re ,

I give the e all: pare nts an d kindre d and frie nds
For I go whe re no slave before the oppre ssor be nds,
Whe re faith can ne ve r kill , and God re igns e 'e r on h igh!
Fare we ll to you all, from my soul torn awa y,
Frie nds of my childhood i n the home disposse sse d!

Fare we ll to thee , too, swee t frie nd that ligh te ne d my way;
Be love d cre ature s all, fare we ll! In de ath the re is re st!
I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The
East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance,
was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering
across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of
the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its struggles for
liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East
must awake from its centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has
bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give
that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge
that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it
shall be compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears
when first they saw the contours of this land loom before their eyes,
of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
“I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom
shall have been added unto my inheritance—for myself and my
children and my children’s children—forever.”
