Oil painting

One method of painting that Filipinos use is oil painting. This method was
introduced as early as the 16th century which was influenced by the European
traditions. It was first used as a propaganda to spread Catholicism in the
Philippines. These paintings usually appeared on church walls which features
religious figures on the Catholic paintings. By the 19th century Philippines
deviated from the religious motifs and turned to a more secular art.

Soil painting

As many artist use water colors to paint, the Talaanding, an indigenous people
of the Banwaon tribe use soil for painting. This method of painting was
introduced by Waway Saway in the Talaanding community in the year of
1995. With the soil that they use, their artworks are in tones of browns, reds,
and grays. The pictures depicted on their artworks are pieces of their tribe's
life, beliefs, practices, and their close association with land.

Anthropomorphic pots

It wasn't till the Metal Age that Philippines changed their pottery tradition, in
which they experimented with forms, designs, and techniques. A result of their
pottery during that period were Anthropomorphic pots which are pots that have
human characteristics. The Funery Mask Burial Offering dates back to 350 BC,
while the Earthenware Pots dates back 5 B.C.- 225 A.D. The Earthenware Pot was
found in the Ayub Cave of the Saranggani Province. The 29 other jars that were
recovered with it had different kinds of facial expressions and had heads that were
either plain, perforated or coated with black and red paints. These jar burial
practices in the Philippines date back to the Late Neolithic Period from 1,000 B.C.
to 16th century.
