 Let Us Learn!

The term “visual arts” encompasses a wide range of forms created by

Filipinos. It ranges from Western-influenced visual art forms to works created
by folk and indigenous people. Traditionally, these visual art forms include
painting, sculpture, and architecture. However, there are other functional
visual art forms in the country that need to be appreciated as well. Some of
these forms include advertising art, basketry, metal craft, mat weaving,
pottery, and textile weaving. This part presents all visual art forms presented
earlier in this introduction. However, it should be emphasized that the aim
for this part is not to make a clear delineation of each visual art form.

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to deepen your understanding
of the various forms of contemporary visual arts present in the regions
(CAR11/12CAP-0c-e4)

Let Us Study

Painting refers to the process of applying color on a flat surface. Forms

can be created using a wide variety of materials such as water color, acrylic,
ink, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Surfaces for painting include wood, canvas,
cardboard, and paper. Painting is considered two-dimensional, meaning it
only has height and width.

Filipinos were introduced to artistic painting in 16th century when the

Philippine was invaded by the Spaniards. Primarily paintings created during
this period were mostly religious like churches and saints. During the World
War II, Filipino painters focused their artwork on the effects of war, including
battle scenes, destruction, and the suffering of the Filipino people.
FORMS OF PAINTING:

Easel Painting

The easel painting is perhaps the most common form of painting which
involves applying color to a boar or canvas that is fixed on an upright support
called an easel. These are meant to.be framed and hanged on a wall after
creating them.

Murals

A mural is described as a huge wall-sized painting used to impart

messages to the public. A new form of mural which is a portable mural, was
developed in order to prevent the mural from being erased from the wall which
was created by using bold strokes in applying bright colors on pieces of
cheesecloth\or canvas.

Jeepney and Calesa Painting

The calesa is typically painted using one color. The borders of the calesa
are decorated with geometric patterns, repetitive patterns, and/or thin lines.
Jeepney painting evolved from calesa painting. In a typical jeepney, a logo,
number, or painting is covered near the driver’s seat, as well as near the seats
adjacent to it.

artwork. This entails cutting and pasting materials such as paper, fabric, tin
foil and other relatively flat materials onto a board or canvas.

THEMES OF PAINTING:

Genre Painting

Genre painting portrays people in daily activities. During the

contemporary period, genre painting took several directions. One of these new
approaches is folk genre, which mainly focuses on the everyday activities of
the folk. Another approach is using the style of cubism in depicting folk or
urban subjects. On the other hand, folk-naive is another style wherein it uses
a lot of color and spontaneity.
