Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions

Module 3 Contemporary Art Forms from the Regions

Different kinds of local artworks have sprung not only in the urban centers of the
country and in schools of arts of different educational institutions but also a lot more
of never before seen or heard art forms from the countryside have made known and
have become renowned. The seeming isolation and distance of many communities
in far flung regions have kept the beauty and significance of countless forms of
Philippine art. It is real good news that they have been exposed and have been
expressed.

Various art forms are known from the different regions or island groups of the
Philippines; generally, from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Through these various
art forms, we tend to picture out the different practices of Filipinos from the different
regions that, when integrated, describe what the Philippines is. To start your learning
of the different various art forms from the different regions or island groups of the
Philippines, examine the following images of arts and process your thoughts with the
help of the guide questions below

The Philippine Contemporary Art can be classified into seven major art forms.
These are painting, sculpture, architecture, film, literature, music and theater, and
dance. Knowing these classifications will guide us in identifying and exploring
different contemporary art forms from the regions of the Philippines.

PHILIPPINE CONTEMPORARY ARTS Philippine contemporary arts can be

described into visual arts, literary arts and performing arts. Visual art is an
expression of artistic ideas through images, structures, 9 and tactile work. Some
visual artworks are integrated which means it combines several mediums to create
new and unique artwork. Painting, sculpture, architecture, and film are examples of
visual arts.

Painting
Painting the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain
aesthetic qualities, in a two-dimensional visual language. The elements of this
language – its shapes, lines, colors, tones, and textures – are used in various ways
to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. The
first paintings here in the Philippines are commissioned works during Spanish
colonization.
Sculpture
 The sculpture is an art form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into
three-dimensional art objects. Filipino sculptors came to be known in the middle of
the 19th century.
Architecture
Architecture is the art and practice of designing and constructing buildings
(Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus). In relation to that,
Philippine architecture was characterized as simple, rational, and functional. In the
20th century. the young Filipino who studied in American colleges and institutes
introduced the neoclassic style in building structures. However, after World War II,
real estate development started to take place (Sandagan & Sayseng, 2016).
Film
Film is a form of visual art use to imitate experiences that communicate ideas,
stories, or feelings with the use of moving images. It is also called a movie or motion
picture. Moreover, the art form that is the result of the film is called cinema (Faber &
Walters, 2003). The film industry in the Philippines started in 1897. In the
contemporary period, martyr wife, superhero, action, melodramas, and comedies are
some of the usual subjects and themes in the Philippine films. Apart from visual arts,
there are Philippine contemporary art forms that can be described as literary arts.
Literary arts are an expression of ideas through writing. Literary arts can be
categorized as poetry, prose, and drama. In the Philippines, literary arts are greatly
encountered in literature.
Literature
According to Lombardi (2020), literature is a term used to describe written and
sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin word literature meaning "writing
formed with letters," literature most commonly refers to works of the creative
imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and in some instances,
journalism, and song. These are some examples of Philippine literature.
Luzon
• A Blade of Fern by Edith Ocampo
• I Saw the Fall of the Philippines by Carlos P. Romulo
Visayas
• Panhayhay hin Bungtohanon by Francisco Alvarado
• An Higugma by Iluminado Lucente
Mindanao
• Dead Stars by H.O. Santos
• Indarapatra at Sulayman by Bartolome Del Valle
Furthermore, there are also Philippine contemporary art forms that can be described
as performance arts. A person doing certain actions and movements in front of an
audience that go along with sound in a space and time is called Performing Arts.
Music and Theater
Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds. According to Ramon P.
Santos in his article entitles Contemporary Music, Contemporary music in the
Philippines usually refers to compositions that have adopted ideas and elements
from twentieth-century art music in the West, as well as the latest trends and musical
styles in the entertainment industry. Filipino Music had already a rich and unique
musical tradition long before westerners set foot on our native land. Music was
present in every stage of our ancestors’ lives — from birth to death, in blissful or
tragic times. Below are some Music from the different Regions of our country.
Luzon- Pastores
Visayas -Pinalangga
Mindanao- Buyayang
Theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the
experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. The
performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations
of 12 gesture, speech, song, music, or dance.
Dance
Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within
a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy,
or simply taking delight in the movement itself. Dances in the Philippines vary from
Region to Region and below are some dances of the different regions.

Some works of Filipino National Artist

The works of National Artist can be found in different University
Campuses. One example is the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
The known school symbol is based on Oblation made by the sculptor Guillermo
Tolentino. This work of art depicts a male nude with arms outstretched that
represents a gesture of sacrifice and freedom. Guillermo Tolentino is a pioneer of
academic tradition in sculpture like Fernando Amorsolo in Painting. Fernando
Amorsolo is known for its romantic paintings of bucolic landscapes and idealized
portraits of well-known individuals from the Commonwealth Period and the Second
World War. His works can be seen also at the National Museum.Awarded in 1976,
Napoleon Abueva had contributed to the University’s Visual Arts Heritage.
In the Virata School of Business, Jose Tanig Joya’s mural can be seen
entitled Barter of Panay (1978). This work of art is rendered in the Abstract
expressionist style and it consists of soft, overlapping planes of black, white, orange,
brown and golden yellow. The Church of the Holy Sacrifice in UP Diliman which was
inaugurated in 1955 was credited to be the First Catholic Church in the country that
were able to employ a circular architecture with a fine thin shell dome. Intricate
mathematical computations with the increasing popularity of concrete that serve as
the building material enabled the smooth rounded church construction. The said
church is recognized as a National Historical Landmark as well as a Cultural
Treasure by the National Historical Institute.

Jose Maceda’s Pagsamba involved a hundred mixed voices and

indigenous musical instruments like bamboo buzzers, clappers and the like. UP
center for Ethnomusicology was also founded by him where he donated his valuable
collections of sound recordings, field notes and the like in Ethnomusicology in the
Philippines and South East Asia. In line with this, he was recognized by the
