B. Motivation
Title: Have you ever?
Material: Laptop, PPT Presentation, Television
Instructions:
The teacher will prepare 3 scenarios involving the use of local art products
made from locally available materials. The students would be asked whether
or not they have already tried using or touching those materials, but instead of
saying I have, or never, they will imitate the action that corresponds their
answer.

C. Lesson Proper
Presentation: The teacher will ask the learners on what the activity is all
about. After calling two or three learners to answer the question, the teacher
will then reveal to the students the topic that will be tackled.

Discussion: Throughout the discussion, the teacher will use both interactive
and inquiry-based learning strategies. The teacher will also provide real
objects for learners to investigate.

The Philippines has abundant raw materials from its natural resources. Some
of these are abaca, buri, rattan, and many others to mention. Over the years,
these raw materials have been a source of livelihood to many Filipino families.
These local raw materials are skillfully and creatively transformed into useful
objects such as kitchen utensils, clothes, toys, decorations and more.

In the latter years however, our Filipino artisans have gone through different
challenges, such as the scarcity of materials, and the growth of technology
which hinders the development of our existing methods. As a result, younger
generations are gradually forgetting the materials used and the application of
techniques in creating beautiful and useful art pieces.

Local Materials - are the resources that are available in great quantities in a
specific region or area at a given moment. It might alternatively be defined as
materials that can be used to create a final piece.

1. Singkaban is a type of Filipino art of shaving a bamboo for home decors and
bamboo arches for weddings, mass gathering, fiesta, and as welcome signage
of a town, city, or village in the country. It is broadly utilized as enrichment amid
town celebration in Bulacan. Experienced workers strive to shave bamboo
layering to make curls and sensitive twirls to reach the unique art in this field.

(The teacher will provide example products by presenting pictures or real

object.)

2. Puni is a traditional art of leaf folding. It is an ancient art of weaving that uses
elongated leaves. It starts with preparing the leaf, folding the leaf, tightening the
package, and trimming the garnish. It is one of the recognized crafts in the
weaving industry. In the history of Bulacan, they use these leaves in making
“Kubol” as a resting place, as a wrapper for their foods, and most of all as a
creative toy for children. It was only during 1998 when it was called Puni.

(The teacher will provide example products of puni of by presenting pictures or

real object.)

3. Pabalat- This kind of art is called borlas de pastillas, the intricately designed
wrapper is made from papel de hapon or Japanese paper. First, Make a design
on the tracing board. Trace the design on the papel de Hapon or Japanese
paper. The real challenge comes with cutting the paper where the design is
traced. The designs include Bahay kubo (nipa hut), rice field, farmer/farmers,
Maria Clara, flowers, landscapes, figures, or specific activities and scenarios.
Wrapper-making used to be folk art, but the tradition is slowly diminishing.

(The teacher will provide example of pabalat by pictures.)

4. Taka- Taka or Paper Mache was first recorded in the 1920s when Maria
Bangue made a paper toy. The papers were molded from wood carving and
glued with paste. After drying, the paper was removed from the molder and
reassembled, dried, and painted in a decorative pattern that eventually becomes
toys and ornaments. Unfortunately, no one knows if her artworks were saved
after her town was consumed by fire and almost all traces of Takas she made
are gone.

Every April the Paete people are busy making Christmas characters like Santa
Claus, Rudolph the red nose Reindeer, and Frosty the Snowman in preparation
for the upcoming holiday season.

(The teacher will provide an example of taka by showing pictures.)

5. Pagpapalayok or Pottery- Kare-kare, Paksiw, Sinigang, these are only some

of the Filipino dishes we love to feast on. Of course, they're only more appetizing
served hot off the fire, in a clay pot. Our use of clay pots is one of the things that
highlight the Filipino trademark of our dishes. Despite many changes, the people
of Pasig still preserve one of the oldest and most important art forms of the city
the pottery-making.
The tradition of Pottery-making lives on in Pasig until now. Where the products
include not only ornamental jars but also those used in everyday living.
(The teacher will provide an example of palayok.)

6. Sanikulas Cookies or Panecillos de San Nicolas- Filipinos believe that

these cookies possess healing properties. Arrowroot is the main ingredient in
baking the said cookies. They had to plant the arrowroot and wait eight months
for the roots to mature. The roots are then processed. It is pounded and soaked
in water. It is sun-dried and ends up as powder. That's the flour they used for
San Nicolas cookies. Unlike these days you can easily buy ingredients from the
store. But at that time, they didn't even have flour.
(The teacher will provide an example of Sanikulas Cookies by showing pictures.)

7. Pagbuburda- Embroidery is an art of decorative stitching, especially by hand.

The high-quality embroidery in the Philippines is partly due to its history and
partly due to native talent. The town of Taal and Lumban, Laguna had a long
tradition of hand embroidery since the arrival of the Franciscan Missionaries.
They started teaching women embroidery. This is probably one of the most
formal studies that have happened to women folks.
Piña and Jusi are traditional fabrics used by the bordadoras. But Piña is more
special because it is decent, soft, refined, durable, and not hot. Ang Jusi
(Chinese term for raw silk), on the other hand, is a lightweight, flimsy, and ecru
colored fabric regarded by the bordadoras as the best material for embroidery.

pictures or real object.)

D. Generalization
The teacher will ask the learners two processing questions.

1. What do you think are the reasons behind the local materials being gradually
forgotten by the younger generations?
2. How can you show your appreciation to the local arts of the Philippines?
3. As a student, how can you contribute to the preservation and use of local
materials in creating artworks?

E. Application
Activity: The teacher will group the class into three. Every group will be
provided with cartolina, marker, and crayons. Each group representative will
pick an art material from the fishbowl. Each group has to creatively write a
poem, they must include words and techniques in connection to the material
