Pre-colonial / Ethnic
Arts
In Pre - colonial Philippines, arts are for
ritual purposes or for everyday use. Art of the
ancient Filipinos were woven into the fabric
of everyday life. They do not refer to art as
we do today. That is, as an expression of an
individual, and seen largely in galleries and
concert halls. They do not distinguish forms
into different categories like music, theater,
visual arts, etc.

the Catholic faith and thus support the colonial order at the
same time. Religious orders were dispatched to convert the
natives to Catholicism as part of the larger project culturally
as religious art, lowland Christian art or folk art. During this
period, cruciform churches following the shape of the latin
cross were built. In keeping with the prevailing, they were
characterized by grandeur, drama, and elaborate details that

 Contemporary Art

Contemporary art is an art of today

produced by artists
living of today. It is a fluid term, and its use
can change depending on the context.
Philippine Contemporary Art was an
offshoot of social realism brought about by
Martial Law.
Arts became expression of people's
aspiration for a just, free and sovereign
society.
