If they were the early Filipinos’ prior to the influence of Spain, can you say that they are already artistically inclined? Why? What are your evidences that art already existed prior to the coming of the colonials in the Philippines? Justify your answer. ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ __________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Circa 1590- Artist Unknown Indiana University Bloomington - The Lilly Digital Library Collections What is it Traditionally, Philippines is rich in cultural arts. Boasts of artists started from pre-colonial times and this had been handed from generation to generation up to the present times. The traditional art from this period attributed to the blossoming of the Philippine contemporary arts we have today. This module will tackle four periods of art history of the Philippines; the Pre-colonial, Spanish Colonial Period, American Colonial Period and Post-Colonial Period. Pre-colonial Times (6185 BC to 1520 AD) Prior to the coming of the Spaniards, Philippines is made up of community called barangay which is highly civilized and artistically inclined to art creation. According to Angelita Perez, the usual theme of their art is animism. Its’ intention is to depict something about people’s gods and goddesses. Thus, resulting in the creation of abstract symbols of animistic figures such as the sun, the moon, and the other figures. Below are pictures and information about the artifacts of pre-colonial period from the Philippine National museums. These are hard evidences of the existence of art during pre-colonial time. 4 CAR11/12IAC-0b-2  Old Stone Age (450,00 - 6,000 B.C.) Flake tools and cobble tools were the earliest implements man made during the Paleolithic (or Old Stone Age) Period and could be considered as early crafts of Filipino people. They used these tools as knives and scrapers. Many of the flake tools recovered in Tabon Caves, Palawan were made from chert, which is a hard stone commonly found in the nearby riverbeds of Quezon, Palawan. New Stone Age (Neolithic Period) (6,000 - 2,000 B.C.) In the early days, shells were fashioned into tools, as well as ornaments. The oldest known ornaments made from cone shells were found in the early 1960’s in the grave of an adult male in Duyong Cave in Palawan. A shell disk with a hole in the center was found next to his right ear and a disk with a hole by the edge was found on his chest. The shell ornaments were dated 4854 B.C. Rocks art in the Philippines are rare. Samples of these drawings were reported in the place of Angono Rizal. It is linked by archaeologists to belief system and considered as symbolism rather than decorative. Metal Age (2,000 B.C. - 1000 A.D.) Earthenware pots resembling human figures were found in Ayub Cave, in Pinol, Maitum, Saranggani Province. The jars used for secondary burial were dated to the Metal Age about 5 BC. - 225 A.D. The jars recovered from the site were unique. The making of these earthenware depicting human figures and faces indicates a high level of craftsmanship. * All pictures taken on National Museum Beta, Collections, Archaeology Other Pre- Colonial Art Form  Pottery  Weaving  Tattoo  Jewelry  Carving  Metal Crafts Wilfredo Dexter Tanedo, Philippine Art History October 17, 2016 What’s More (Activity) Activity 2: Proud to be Pinoy Learning the artistry of early Filipino makes us really proud to be Filipinos.
