5 Visual Arts in Tabuk

City/Kalinga
 White Carabao Statue
 It symbolizes the glory of Tabuk City and Kalinga province's
agricultural industry. The statue, which was transferred six years ago
to another location, is now erected at the intersection near St.
Williams Academy.
 The statues were erected using funds raised during the Miss Kalinga
popularity pageant in 1958. The carabao and the farmer statues were
chosen as a representation of Kalinga’s farming glory that still holds
true until now.
 Pyro
-Featured during the Tabuk city founding celebration, Dagupon says he
rediscovered his hobby of sketching after his retirement from work,
adding he has always loved to do art but was too busy when he was
working.Dagupon said when his wife passed away, he had to do
something worthwhile and one day he met a relative with a son
engaged in pyrography, and he got interested. So he started doing
some research over the internet on how to do 2D wood carving and
pyrography, and later he asked his daughter from Canada to send his
first tools.Orders for the pyro sketches started in 2017 when his daughter
posted his work on social media, has since gotten a steady stream of
orders.
 Kalinga Weaving
-characterized by the traditional color combinations of
red and black stripes and the use of beads. Many
traditional Kalinga weaving designs and patterns remain
unchanged through generations, with weavers taking
care not to make alterations since the colors and details
have specific meanings.
Pottery
-The main idea of the Kalinga ethnoarchaeological project was to
compare inferences made in Carter Ranch Pueblo to the results of
the Kalinga project about the social context of pottery making.
Later, in 1975, "the new research goal" was added to the Kalinga
ethnoarchaeological project. Longacre and his researchers wished
to investigate how long artifacts lasted before they were discarded
by the people who used them. Within the Kalinga project
specifically, this meant studying how long pots were used before
they were discarded.
 Pasiking
- The ritual pasiking of the Bontoc people is called the
takba, and represents an ancestor figure, and active
participant in begnas rituals.Some of the Northern
Philippine tribal groups called Igorots or Cordilleransthat
weave pasiking are the the Kalingas of Kalinga province,
the Gaddang, the Bugkalot, the Applai, the Bontocs of
Bontoc, Mountain Province, the Ilagod, the Ifugaos, the
Ikalahan, the Kalanguya, the Karao, and the Ilongots. It is
also woven using rattan by non-Cordilleran
persons.Common materials used in construction are rattan
and bamboo. There are pasiking specimens utilizing deer
hide (parfleche), wood, turtle shell, and crocodile skin.A
deconstructed version of the pasiking, including dozens of
variants, were exhibited in the BenCab Museum.There are
also 21st century pasiking that are made of recyclable
materials like plastic cargo straps, canvas conveyor belts,
and recycled detonation cord.in the 1970s on through the
1980s, the pasiking has also been a symbol among
Filipino students for nationalist activism. There was a
decline of making traditional bamboo crafts, including the
pasiking, during the 1980s but in the mid-2010s, the
industry of bamboo crafts came into resurgence with the
help of the Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry.
5 Visual Arts in The World
Mona Lisa
- Leonardo da Vinci's works, the Mona Lisa is the only portrait whose authenticity has
never been seriously questioned and one of four works – the others being Saint Jerome
in the Wilderness, Adoration of the Magi and The Last Supper – whose attribution has
avoided controversy.He had begun working on a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, the
model of the Mona Lisa, by October 1503.It is believed by some that the Mona Lisa was
begun in 1503 or 1504 in Florence.Although the Louvre states that it was "doubtless
painted between 1503 and 1506", art historian Martin Kemp says that there are some
difficulties in confirming the dates with certainty.Alessandro Vezzosi believes that the
painting is characteristic of Leonardo's style in the final years of his life, post-1513.
[46] Other academics argue that, given the historical documentation, Leonardo would
have painted the work from 1513.According to Vasari, "after he had lingered over it
four years, [he] left it unfinished".
 The Sistine Chapel
- a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official
residence of the pope, in Vatican City.
Originally known as the Cappella Magna, the
chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV,
who restored it between 1473 and 1481. 
 Starving Child and Vulture

- In 1993 South African photojournalist Kevin Carter traveled to

Sudan to photograph the famine. His image of a collapsed
child, with a vulture stalking over her, not only caused public
outrage because of the horrific subject. It also stirred up a lot
of criticism directed toward the photographer, for
photographing the child, rather than helping her.
 Statue of Liberty
Liberty Island, Manhattan, New York City, New York, U.S. Year 1886
-Liberty, a personification of the concept of liberty, has existed as a goddess in
many cultures. Since the French Revolution, the figure of Liberty is viewed as a
symbol of France and the French Republic. This renowned copper statue was a gift
from the people of France to the people of the United States. It was designed by
French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and built by renowned French civil
engineer Gustave Eiffel. The Statue of Liberty depicts the Roman goddess
Libertas holding a torch above her head with her right hand and in her left hand
she is carrying a tablet on which is inscribed in Roman numerals the date of
the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
 Girl with a Pearl Earring
- Johannes Vermeer’s 1665 study of a young woman is startlingly real
and startlingly modern, almost as if it were a photograph. This gets
into the debate over whether or not Vermeer employed a pre-
photographic device called a camera obscura to create the image.
Leaving that aside, the sitter is unknown, though it’s been
speculated that she might have been Vermeer's maid. He portrays
her looking over her shoulder, locking her eyes with the viewer as if
attempting to establish an intimate connection across the centuries.
