 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 tradition in Europe during
the Romantic period of the nineteenth century.

This module was 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, motif of art and craft
from Europian (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. identify the arts and crafts from external (foreign) and internal
(indigenous) influences reflected in the design of an artwork and in the
making of a craft or artifact

2. create the arts and craft from external (foreign) and internal
(indigenous) influences reflected in the design of an artwork and in the
making of a craft or artifact.
3. admire the arts and crafts with external (foreign) and internal

The External (Foreign) and Internal

Lesson (Indigenous) Influences in the Making
of a Craft or Artifact

For the foreign influences like in Europe, weavers worked at home and
marketed his cloth at fairs. The predominant fiber was wool, followed
by linen and nettlecloth for the lower classes. Cotton was introduced
to Sicily and Spain in the 9th century. Weaving from MIMAROPA and Visayas is
known for its leading source of income among the farmers. Most of the weavers
especially women and children are showing 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 uniquely designs are usually
inspired by indigenous and foreign influences.

 What’s New

Directions: Read the summary of an article about Tawi-tawi mat weavers and after
reading, answer the guide questions.

Mat Weavers of Tawi-Tawi face the Waves of Change.

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 WOMEN'S CRAFT. Sama Dilaut
the Sulu archipelago. They are often weavers in the village of Balimbing
referred to as sea gypsies."You know gather for a photo.
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 one will be weaving)," she said.

Guide Questions:

1. Most young generation today specially for Sama Dilaut women are no longer
interested learning the skills of weaving. If you were Gainab Norkarim, what should
you do to encourage the young generation to preserve baloy weaving?

2. If you were one of the young Sama Dilaut weavers, what are your inspirations to
continue the optimistic culture of baloy weaving specifically the baloy designs and
motif.
Congratulations! I can
feel that you`re eager to
know the new lesson.

Piña Weaving is the process of weaving
