- Analyze the elements and principles of art in producing one’s art and crafts inspired
by the arts of Luzon (Highlands and Lowlands).

- Identify characteristics of arts and crafts in specific areas in Luzon.

II. Discussion

Highlands’ Cultural Communities

Art is part of the life of the indigenous people of the Philippines. This is shown in the
things that they use every day which are rich in traditional colors and patterns. These art
forms reflect their tribal background.

Why are the different indigenous people in the Philippines excellent in arts and
crafts?

When our forefathers first set foot on our country, they made use of available materials
for their needs. They used hardwood and timbers for posts. They also used coconut fronds
(leaves) as roofs and walls for their huts. For their floors, they flattened bamboo slices.

The things they used at home are also made of native materials. They improved their
craftsmanship either from their own traditional ways or from borrowing techniques used by
other tribes.

weavers, potterers, and skillful craftsmen. They make use of the buri, bamboo, nito, and
rattan which are abundant in their surroundings. They are also well-known in carving the
mountain slopes of the world-famous Banaue rice terraces. The Ifugaos are also famous for
woodcarving, textile weaving, and basket weaving.

1. The Ifugao Woodcarvings

The Ifugaos are famous for their mastery of wood
carving. An example is the carving of their deity. Bul-ul. This
Bul-ul is important to them because of their belief that they
can have an abundant harvest when this carving is placed
near rice granaries.

Another important woodcarving is

the hagabi. This is a piece of wood
that is unique because it is carved
to become a bench. This hagabi is a
sign of riches; thus, many wealthy
Ifugaos own this kind of
woodcarving.

2. The textile weaving of the Ifugaos

Ifugaos weave blankets, upper garments, G-strings,
handbags, belts, and a lot more. It has been part of
their tradition to weave for their family’s clothing needs.
At present, weaving has become a good source of
income for many Ifugaos.

3. The Ifugaos’ basket weaving

The Ifugaos produce basket to serve the need of the
family. They use baskets for storing grains and cooked
food. They also use baskets for keeping household
utensils, clothes, and personal belongings.

Why is weaving popular among tribal people?

Native Filipinos weaved using fibers from abaca, pineapple, cotton, and bark cloth to
produce cloth, rugs, baskets, and hats. Part of family wealth was based on the textiles the
family-owned and these were given as dowry gifts at weddings and as offerings to the gods.

Many tribal people wear woven hats for protection against the strong heat of the sun.
The farmers from the Bontoc region wear the traditional straw hats called the salakot.

Ilocos folk art includes the following:

1. All forms of earthenware, from small to big, flower pots to roof tiles
2. Metalcraft
3. Wagon wheels
4. Leathercraft

Ilocos Norte is also well known for various cottage industries like furniture making, cloth
weaving, pottery-making, woodcarving, and blacksmithing.

Likewise, the burnay industry (pottery-making industry) in Vigan is also a popular cottage
industry. It is believed that the natives already practiced pottery making even before the
Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines.

What are other well-known places in Luzon for arts and crafts?

The town of Paete Laguna is well known as the center of woodcarving in the Philippines.
Many residents of Paete are woodcarvers. It is believed that the name Paete comes from the
word paet, which means chisel. Many of the woodcarvers in Paete carved religious figures and
images, obviously an influence of the Spanish colonizers on Philippines culture.

Paete is also known in manufacturing wood and papier mâché products. The newsprint
papier mâché pieces or taka are found on many road shops. Takas is considered the highlight
of folk art in the area. They come in many forms and colors and are hand-painted. The
designs vary according to the demands of the seasons. It is believed that this craft originated
in Mexico.

What is mat-weaving?

Mat weaving is a centuries-old folk art practice of our forefathers. Mats can be classified
based on the ethnic group. The abundant availability of buri in their surroundings could be the
reason for the popularity of sleeping mats in our country. Many of these mats are made from
buri, which are considered stronger and cooler. Mats are highly decorated with colored straws
in various designs.
Mats are also popular in the bailing of tobacco and abaca, which are the major products
in the northern part of Luzon. Many of these mats are made in Batac, Ilocos Norte. In
Cagayan Valley, mats of dried banana petioles are used.
What is basket-making?

Basket-making is another main craft of many Filipinos. The basket is used for the storage
of food and for hunting. Sometimes, these baskets are used to transport grain and to catch
and store fish. In tribal regions, basket-making is a man’s task. Natural fibers like rattan are
used as materials.

Why does native Filipino create pots?

Before the Spaniards came, native Filipinos created ceramic jars to hold their dead
relatives and loved ones. Our native ancestors also made pottery for water vessels, plates,
cups, and many other uses.
Traditional pottery making in certain areas of the Philippines makes use of clay found
near the rivers as basic materials. Wooden paddles are used in molding the clay.

What do the cultural groups in Luzon use in coloring their artworks?

Various cultural groups like the Ifugaos, Ivatans, and those from Southern Tagalog use
natural materials like pigments drawn from rocks, fruit seeds, seashells, limes, and other
natural tinctures in coloring their artworks. They utilize what is available in their natural
surroundings.

What is the barong Tagalog?

Another work of art that Filipino could be proud of is the barong Tagalog, which is woven by
the Southern Tagalogs. It is very lightweight and worn untucked (similar to a coat/dress shirt),
over and undershirt. Today, the barong Tagalog is still a popular formal attire not just by men
but also by women.

The formal barong is made using various fabrics.

1. Piña fabric is hand-loomed from pineapple leaf fibers. Because piña weavers in the Philippines are
dwindling, its scarcity makes the delicates piña cloth expensive and is thus used for very formal
events.
2. Jusi fabric is mechanically woven and was once made from abaca or banana silk.
3. Banana fabric is another sheer fabric used on formal occasions. Made and hand weaved from
banana fiber, it usually comes with geometric design details. This fabric hails from the Visayan
island of Negros.

Art awareness

What are lines?

In art, a line represents many things such as an actual line, a person, or a building. A line can
be thick or thin; straight, wavy, curved, or angular; continuous or broken; dotted, dashed, or a
combination of any of these. Artists use lines to define and enclose spaces.

What are the types of lines and what ideas are suggested by each of them?

1. Static Lines – they suggest firmness and straightforwardness.

a. Vertical lines – these lines convey b. Horizontal lines – These lines suggest
uprightness, dignity, and assurance. calmness, peace, and sobriety.

2. Dynamic Lines – These signify movements, cheerfulness, and continuity.

3. Jagged Lines – These lines give the impression of chaos and disorder.

Why is color in art important?

Color in art is important because it suggests the quality of the things which affect us. Seeing a
bouquet of red roses attract our attention. Looking at a huge blue panel backdrop sends our
vision afar. Colors are exciting in another way. Did you ever think about how different colors
make you feel? When you look at red, do you feel warm or cold? Do you feel sad or happy?
Do you feel excited or do you feel sleepy? When you look at blue, how do you feel? At orange?
Green? You will find that different colors can make a painting seem peaceful or lonely, joyous,
or angry.
