INTRODUCTION TO
THE CHINESE ART
WELCOME TO
CHINESE ART
China has a long heritage of artistic practice, and Ancient
Chinese artist worked in many materials. They possessed a high
degree of technical understanding and pioneered methods like
casting BRONZE.

A metal made of copper and tin. They also developed new ways
to fire ceramics and add glazes. Most early Chinese art tended
to reflect class structure as it evolved in China over the
centuries, and much of it was related to funerary practices.
 CHINESE ART
Oldest Chinese Art are pottery. And examples have been found dating back to
18,000 BC. The yangshao culture in Northern China was known for its red-
painted pottery , made by layering coils of clay one on topof the other and then
smoothing their surface with a paddle.
The most spectacular example of pottery from ancient China is the Terracotta
Army.
Chines artist also CARVED STONE OBJECTS. They worked in jade, the name
for a range of translucent greenish to whitish stone that was usually nephrite or
jadeite. Some of the popular figures included the dragon and the phoenix, two
mythical creatures seen as divine in ancient China.
CHINESE ART
The time period covered by the Shang and Zhou Dynasties is
referred to as the Bronze Age, and as well as weaponry, parts of
chariots, and animal-like masks with large eyes called taotle (
scholars aren’t sure what the masks were used for. )

The Chinese honed their skill of bronze casting by heating solid

metals beyond their melting point. To make bronze objects, they
sometimes used piece-mold casting.

One of the most treasured Chinese Art forms is calligraphy. The art
of writing with emphasis on visual strokes. Done with brush and ink,
it was invented during the Shang dynasty.
JAPANESE ART
GET TO KNOW THE JAPANESE ART
The earliest inhabitants of Japan likely arrived from mainland Asia thousands of
years ago so it no surprise that Japanese art has al long history of Chinese
influences. Many foreign techniques were adopted and developed locally with
the unique character.

Often influenced by the Chinese forms, Japanese art could be religious of secular
in nature. Some of the oldest Japanese art included earthenware, and ceramic
vessels. They also feature sculptures like dogu figures, often shape like women
and thought to be used for fertility prayers, and haniwa funerary forms, which
were often shaped like horses or warriors and placed outside ancient tombs.
JAPANESE ARTS
Later sculpture often focused on the Buddhist, including the bronze Buddha
of Kamakura painting in the Japan developed out of calligraphy, or the art of
beautiful writing. Subjects included nature, landscapes and people
sometime they were painted on silk scrolls spontaneous brush strokes.

Yamato-e developed during Heian. That focused on Japanese subjects

featured bold colors and was more formal than earlier painting styles.

Wood black printing, image with carbed wood and ink, also become
popular in Japan beginning around the 17th century, as style of print
called Ukiyo-e or floating world focused on earthly pleasures like
courtesan, brothels and sumo wrestlers.
PHILIPPINE ART
 PHILIPPINE ART
During pre-colonization, the early Filipinos are said to have been practicing
arts, akin to those who lived during the pre-historic age cave also found of
sculpture. Pottery has existed during this time were over 1500 burial jars were
found in a said caves. Notable among this jars is the Manunggul Jar, which
considered to be a national cultural treasure. Other finds included earthenware,
jade ornaments, jewelry and many stone tools, dating back to 47,000 years ago
from the earliest human found in the Philippines.

Architecture was also evident among the Filipinos as manifested in the kind of
dwellings and houses, shelters, worship areas, official residents, mosques, and
state edifices during the pre-conquest age.
 PHILIPPINE ART
When Spaniards came to the Philippines religion
becomes the subject of most painting and sculptures-
there were many religious icon, portraitures of secular
leaders, altar pieces and religious figurines. The
indigenous people of Visayas were called Pintados by
the Spanish colonizers to described the tattooed
indigenous Cebuano Visayan people. There were found
in islands of Cebu, Bohol, Easter part of Negros, Samar
Leyte. The used of furniture was also introduced in more
intricately designed jewelries, metal work and ornament
into being.
 PHILIPPINE ART
During the American period, paintings used landscapes portraiture,
still life, among others. Sculptures were either free standing or relief
displayed in public. Architecture are more of city planning water front,
civic/government structures, public works, apartments, residences,
offices, health and public education and businesses.

When the Japanese came both paintings and sculptures were about
war time scenes and propagandas like the work of Amorsolo,
Francisco and Ocampo.
PHILIPPINE ART
In the post war republic, paintings and sculptures become more modern but
conservative. Abstract and experimental and are usually public art from the
1970’s up to present they are now artworks that are figurative, non-figurative,
art for art’s sake and of course, with the technological advancement that we all
enjoy, there are multi media, mixed media and trans media architectures during
these had two periods are mostly about real estate, safe and low-cost housing,
accessories, tenements, convention arch, commercial or business
establishment, condominiums, malls, subdivisions and other developments.

Clearly, Philippine art, though existed even before the colonizers, was very
much influenced by the other cultures.
