 What I Need to Know

Weaving is the basis of making many types of cloth. This tradition from
MIMAROPA and Visayas is the same as the tradition in Europe, China, and India.

This module is designed to help you understand the external (foreign) and
internal (indigenous) influences reflected in the design of an artwork and in the
making of a craft or artifact. You will also learn the designs, motifs of art and crafts
from European (external) and indigenous (internal) influences.

After going through this module, you are expected to explain the external
(foreign) and internal (indigenous) influences that are reflected in the design of an
artwork or in the making of a craft or artifact.

Specifically, you are expected to:

1. explain some arts and crafts with external (foreign) and internal
(indigenous) influences in terms of weaving designs;

2. create a craft inspired by either external (foreign) or internal

(indigenous) influences in terms of weaving; and

3. appreciate the arts and crafts with external (foreign) and internal
(indigenous) influences

After reading the objectives, let’s

proceed with our activity to test how
knowledgeable you are about the
external (foreign) and internal
(indigenous) influences that are
reflected in the design of an artwork or
in the making of a craft or artifact.

Activity 2: READ AND ANSWER

Directions: Read the summary of an article about Tawi-tawi mat weavers and
answer the question that follows.

Mat Weavers of Tawi-Tawi face the Waves of Change

By Ranada, Pia (2015)

Norkarim gets inspiration from everything she sees. "Kung mayroon makita ko,
matingin ko, ito lang ako, marunong mag-design (If I see something, if I look at
something, this is all I know, how to design)," she said.
It's no wonder the undulating patterns remind one of waves, or of sunlight reflecting
on water. The Sama Dilaut are a semi-nomadic tribe wandering the seas of the Sulu
archipelago. They are often referred to as sea gypsies."You know where they get
their design? It's from the moon, from the sea, from the color of the sun, from the
leaves, from the mountains they see. Their design comes from their own
environment," said Tawi-Tawi Representative Ruby Sahali. But Norkarim worries for
the future of baloy weaving. Many young Sama
Dilaut women are no longer interested in learning the
skill. "Wala na mga bata marunong mag-gawa ng
banig na ito. Matanda na. Kung wala nang matanda,
wala nang pagbaloy (None of the children know how
to weave. It's only the old. If the elders are gone, no WOMEN'S CRAFT. Sama Dilaut weavers in
the village of Balimbing gather for a photo.
one will be weaving)," she said.

Guide Question:
If you were Gainab Norkarim, what should you do to encourage the young
generation to preserve baloy weaving?

 What is It

Some foreign countries influence weavers to work at home and market his
cloths at fairs. The predominant fiber was wool, linen and nettlecloth for the lower
classes. Weaving from MIMAROPA and Visayas is known for its leading source of
income among the farmers. Most of the weavers especially women and children
show love of making baskets with complicated patterns and designs of humans,
animals, trees and other objects. The arts and crafts like mat and basket weaving,
mask making, pintados in Tacloban, architecture, sculpture including the motif and
their unique designs are usually inspired by indigenous and foreign influences.
THE EXTERNAL (FOREIGN) INFLUENCES

CHINA

Flax fiber is soft, lustrous (shiny) and flexible;

bundles of fiber have the appearance of blonde hair,
hence the description "flaxen" hair. It is stronger than
cotton fiber, but less elastic.

TEXTILE WEAVES

1. Plain weave. In plain weave cloth, the warp (goes

vertically from top to bottom) and weft (goes left to right
across the fabric) threads cross at right angles, aligned
so they form a simple criss-cross pattern.

2. Balanced plain weaves. It can be identified by its

checkerboard-like appearance. It is also known as
one-up-one-down weave or over and under pattern.
These are fabrics in which the warps and wefts are made
of threads of the same weight (size) and the same number of ends per inch as picks
per inch.
5
INDIA

1. Cotton tapestry. An Indian tapestry woven into a

complicated pattern using linen, cotton, wool, as well
as finer threads such as silk, gold, silver. The vertical
threads are known as warps, and the horizontal
threads are known as wefts.

2. Shital Pati. A traditional art of making a

handcrafted mat by weaving together strips of
a green cane known as ‘Murta’. The mat is used
by people all over Bangladesh as a sitting mat,
bedspread or prayer mat.

EUROPE

Saori is the combination of the words sai

meaning everything has its own individual dignity,
and ori, meaning weaving. .Saori is an expression
of oneself freely regardless of age, gender,
disability or intellectual aptitude.

THE INTERNAL (INDIGENOUS) INFLUENCES

MARINDUQUE

materials used in the weaving by the
Marinduqueños.

6
ROMBLON

Romblon Mat. A handwoven mat most

usually used for sleeping or sitting in East Asia
especially in the Philippines. The type of mat is
traditionally made by Cabilao weavers. Further,
Cabilao weavers made the romblon double mat
from dry leaves that are sometimes dyed before
being cut into strips and woven into a mat.

ILO-ILO

Patadyong. Is often colorful and features

linear and geometric designs. The raw materials used
are cotton and abaca.

AKLAN

Piña Weaving is the process of weaving using

piña leaves the process of snapping the short leaves
of the plant is done while removing the thorny sides to
reveal the bastos. Bastos is the first set of fibers of
the piña leaves. It is then followed by scraping with a
