DISCUSSION
NATIONAL ARTISTS OF THE PHILIPPINES
 NATIONAL ARTISTS FOR ACHITECTURE
PABLO S. ANTONIO National Artist for Architecture (1976) (January 25,
1902 – June 14, 1975)
His basic design is grounded on simplicity, no clutter.
The lines are clean and smooth, and where there are
curves, these are made integral to the structure.
Antonio’s major works include the following: Far
Eastern University Administration and Science
buildings; Manila Polo Club; Ideal Theater; Lyric
Theater; Galaxy Theater; Capitan Luis Gonzaga
Building; BoulevardAlhambra (now Bel-Air)
apartments; Ramon Roces Publications Building (now Guzman Institute of
Electronics)
LEANDRO V. LOCSIN National Artist for Architecture, 1990 (August 15,
1928 – November 15, 1994)
Convention Center, Philcite and The Westin Hotel (now Sofitel Philippine
Plaza)
JUAN F. NAKPIL National Artist for Architecture, 1973 (May 26, 1899 –
May 7, 1986)
An architect, teacher, and civic leader is a pioneer
and innovator in Philippine architecture. Nakpil’s
greatest contribution is his belief that there is such a
thing as Philippine Architecture, espousing
architecture reflective of Philippine traditions and
culture. Among others, Nakpil’s major works are the
Geronimo de los Reyes Building,Magsaysay Building,
Rizal Theater, Capitol Theater, Captain Pepe Building, Manila Jockey Club,
Rufino Building, Philippine Village Hotel, University of the Philippines
Administration and University Library, and the reconstructed Rizal house in
Calamba, Laguna.
ILDEFONSO P. SANTOS, JR. National Artist for Architecture, 2006
(September 5, 1929 – January 29, 2014)

He reshaped the urban landscape with a

distinctive architecture reflective of Philippine Art
and Culture. He believes that the true Philippine
Architecture is “the product of two great streams of
culture, the oriental and the occidental to produce
a new object of profound harmony.” It is this
synthesis that underlies all his works, with his
achievements in concrete reflecting his mastery of space and scale.
Locsin’s largest single work is the Istana Nurul Iman, the palace of the Sultan
of Brunei, which has a floor area of 2.2 million square feet. The CCP Complex
itself is a virtual Locsin Complex with all five buildings designed by him — the

Ildefonso Paez Santos, Jr., distinguished himself by
pioneering the practice of landscape architecture–an
allied field of architecture–in the Philippines and then
producing four decades of exemplary and engaging
work that has included hundreds of parks, plazas,
gardens, and a wide range of outdoor settings that
have enhanced contemporary Filipino life. Santos, Jr.,
who grew up in Malabon, made his first mark with the Makati Commercial
Center where he introduced a new concept of outdoor shopping with
landscaped walks, fountains and sculptures as accents. Santos, Jr.’s
contribution to modern Filipino landscape architecture was the seminal public
landscape in Paco Park. Santos, Jr.’s most recent projects were the Tagaytay
Highland Resort, the Mt. Malarayat Golf and Country Club in Lipa, Batangas,
and the Orchard Golf and Country Club in Imus, Cavite.
FRANCISCO T. MANOSA National Artist for Architecture and Allied Arts
(2018)
For all his more than 60 years of architecture life,
Arc. Bobby Mañosa designed Filipino. From the
1960s in his landmark design of the Sulo Hotel
until his retirement about 2015, he courageously
and passionately created original Filipino forms,
spaces with intricate and refined details. But what
is most valuable is that Mañosa was in the heart
and soul of a Philippine architectural movement. He has developed a legacy
of Philippine architecture, which is essential to our Filipino identity and at the
same time, deeply appreciated and shared in our world today.
 NATIONAL ARTISTS FOR THEATER/FILM/CINEMA

Known as an important plastic art, "Ceramics" (derived from Keramos, Greek for

'potter's clay') refers to items made from clay bodies and fired in a kiln to obtain the
finished form. Outside of art, due to new technological processes, the term ceramics
now encompasses a wider group of materials, including glass and cements, so clay
is no longer a key component.

Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms
including artistic pottery, including tableware, tiles, figurines and other sculpture. As Photography
one of the plastic arts, ceramic art is one of the visual arts.

Photography’s art/ document duality, its unpredictable and inscrutable character, and
humankind’s ever-increasing mass engagement with it, all leave more traditional
media such as painting and sculpture light years behind. Since photography is less
than two centuries old, and its popularity is only just exploding, we may only be
beginning to explore its artistic possibilities. Yet some still fail to see it as an art form
at all.

Documentary and fine art photography are clearly different in theory, but in practice,
there’s a large gray area. For instance, if you care about
aesthetics and photojournalism, how do you know when you’re creating fine art

Philippine dance has played a tremendous role in Filipino culture. From one of the
oldest dated dances called the Tinikling, to other folkloric dances such as the

ballet, it is no doubt that dance in the Philippine setting has integrated itself in society

dances originated in a unique way and serve a certain purpose, showcasing how
diverse Philippine dances are.
