Painting begins from prehistoric men. They used black pigment and red ochre in their early paintings which usually showed hunting scenes of man chasing different animals like buffaloes, horses, lions, mammoths, and many others. The themes or subjects of their paintings usually portrayed their way of living. Prehistoric men had drawn most of their paintings on the blocks of stones and walls of caves. Despite of their very limited resources, they still have shown their talents and skills in paintings https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.lNNFjCx4zdqQ2VVCtNXaOQHaE8?pid=Api&rs=1 Don’t you know that the history of Eastern painting is as old as the civilization of china? The history of Eastern painting is comparable to the Western painting. The influences of the Eastern countries for each other’s production and development of arts continue over the centuries. 4 In your painting, it is very important that you give emphasis on the theme or subject which will give meaning of your output. In your Activity 2, you were told to establish the subject of each painting. Were you able to identify the subjects in the given paintings? This time, you can verify your answers with the following concepts. COUNTRY PAINTING SUBJECTS OR THEMES CHINA 1. Flowers and birds 4. Human Figures 2. Landscapes 5. Animals 3. Palaces and Temples 6. Bamboos and Stones JAPAN 1. Scenes from everyday life 2. Narrative scenes crowded with figures and details SOUTH KOREA Subjects are divided into five categories: NORTH KOREA 1. Landscape paintings 2. Minhwa (the traditional folk painting) 3. Four Gracious Plants (plum blossoms, orchids or wild orchids, chrysanthemums 4. Bamboo 5. Portraits 5 Important Aspects in East Asian Painting After recognizing the subjects or themes of the paintings, you need to understand the different important aspects in Eastern Asian paintings. Now, read the following important aspects in Eastern Asian paintings. Then, relate these characteristics with our own paintings in the Philippines. Landscape painting was regarded as the highest form of Chinese painting. There are three concepts that they consider in their arts namely: Nature, Heaven and Humankind (Yin-Yang). Basically, Chinese society is agricultural which has always laid great stress on understanding the pattern of nature and living in accordance with it. Oriental artists frequently created landscapes rather than paintings with the human figure as subjects. Landscape painting represents both a portrayal of nature itself and a codified illustration of the human view of nature and the world. Silk was often used as the medium to paint upon, but it was quite expensive. When the Han court eunuch, Cai Lun, invented the paper in the 1 st Century AD it provided not only a cheap and widespread medium for writing but painting became more economical. The ideologies of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism played important roles in East Asian art. Chinese art expresses the human understanding of the relationship between nature and human. This is evident in the form of painting of landscapes, bamboo, birds, and flowers, etc. This might be called the metaphysical, Daoist aspect of Chinese painting. To make your painting interesting and realistic apply these Six Principles of Chinese Painting established by Xie He, a writer, art historian and critic in 5 th century China. 1. Observe rhythm and movements. 2. Leave spaces for the eyes to rest 3. Use brush in calligraphy 4. Use colors correctly 5. Live up to tradition by copying the master’s artwork. 6. Copy the correct proportion of the objects and nature. The history of Korean painting dates to 108 C.E., when it first appears as an independent form. It is said that until the Joseon Dynasty the primary influence of Korean paintings were Chinese paintings. However, Korean paintings have subjects such as landscapes, facial features, Buddhist topics, and an emphasis on celestial observation in keeping with the rapid development of Korean astronomy. 6 In Korean landscape painting, Mountain and Water are important features because it is a site for building temples and any other buildings. Calligraphy Is your handwriting is beautiful? If yes, then, your beautiful handwriting is considered as an example of calligraphy. So, do your best and keep on writing beautifully and consequently develop this skill and make it artistic. Calligraphy is the art of beautiful and artistic handwriting according to the Chinese people. Old-style painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with brush dipped in black or colored ink; oils are not used. In calligraphy, paintings are made of popular materials like paper and silk. It is in their paintings where poets write their calligraphy. In calligraphy, paintings can be mounted on scrolls, such as hand scrolls or hanging scrolls, walls, album sheets, folding screens, lacquerware, and other media. Painting is indeed one of the highest forms of arts in East Asia. Do people from East Asia use other materials as canvas for painting? Painting in East Asia do not only apply on paper, silk, and wood. Performers of kabuki in Japan and peking opera in China use their faces as the canvas for painting while mask painting is done in Korea. Theatrical forms: Peking opera of China and Kabuki of Japan. The performers from China and Japan usually paint faces depending on the character or personification they are portraying. So aside from painting on silk, paper, and printing on wood, Chinese and Japanese also painted their face and Koreans painted masks for theatrical and festival performances. Peking opera face painting or jinju lianpu is done with different colors in accordance with the performing character’s personality and historical assessment. The hero type characters are normally painted in relatively simple colors, whereas enemies, bandits, rebels, and others have more complicated designs on their faces. It is a traditional special way of make up in Chinese operas in pursuit of the expected effect of performance. Originally, lianpu is called the false mask. Kabuki Make- up of Japan Kabuki makeup or Kesho is already in itself an interpretation of the actor’s own role through the medium of the facial features. ―On stage, this interpretation becomes a temporalization of makeup in collaboration with the audience. 7 The result is a decoding of the drama traced out in the graphic designs of the painted face.‖ — Masao Yamaguchi (quoted in The Painted Body, 1984) (http://thestorybehindthefaces.com/2012/01/20/kumadori-japanese-kabuki-theatre- makeup/) Kabuki Make up is also another way of face painting which has two types: 1. Standard makeup – applied to most actors 2. Kumadori makeup – applied to villains and heroes - It is composed of very dramatic lines and shapes using colors that represent certain qualities. Dark Red – passion or anger Dark Blue – depression or sadness Pink – youth Light Green – calm Black – fear Purple – nobility Reading Source: Music and Arts of Asia Learner’s Module, Unit II: East Asian Arts, pp 229 – 261 Some examples of face painting are the mukimi- guma or suji-guma, where the lines are painted onto an actor’s face. These are then smudged to soften them. The makeup and perfume worn throughout performances were highly significant to the stories that were being told. http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/16/1655/VIXGD00Z/posters/kabuki-makeup.jpg 8 Kumadori — The Painted Faces of Japanese Kabuki Theatre Korean Masks http://www.antiquealive.com/Blogs/Korean_Mask.html Korean masks, called tal or t’al, originated with religious meaning just like the masks of the other countries which also have religious or artistic origins. Korea has a rich history of masks. They use it in funeral services to help banish evil spirits and theatre plays dating back to the prehistoric age. Masks were also used for shamanistic rites and were kept within temples where they were honoured with offerings. By the 12 th century, the masks became part of elaborate dances and dramas. The Roles of Colors in Korean Masks 1. Black, Red, and White masks- bright and vibrant colors that help establish the age and race of the figure. 2. Half Red and Half White mask- symbolizes the idea that the wearer has two fathers, Mr.Red and Mr. White 3. Dark-faced mask- indicates that the character was born of an adulterous mother. 9 Reading Source: Music and Arts – 8 Learner’s Module, Arts Unit II (East Asian Arts), pp. 229 -261 What’s More Activity 5: Painting Analysis Look at the images below.

What Is It Paper arts of China In the development of arts, paper is known to have a great contribution not only in East Asia but all over the world. It was first invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China by Cai Lun. It is indeed one of the greatest impacts in the development of arts of ancient China. A paper art of China includes paper cut, Chinese knots, and paper folding and paper kites. Chinese folk art is created with materials that are naturally found within the locality. This shows that the Chinese are nature lovers. It has been an inspiration of every folk artist through its values of simplicity, the philosophy of their community, and the emotional and psychological characteristics of their nation throughout major periods in history. It somehow contributes to the conservation of their beliefs and tradition and other cultural practices. A picture of a small paper boat in an edition of Tractatus de Sphaera Mundi from 1490 by Johannes de Sacrobosco is the earliest document that will prove that paper folding was one of their artworks. 16 The traditional funerals in China which include burning yuanbao which is a folded paper that looks like gold nuggets or ingots called sycee. Burning of yuanbao is also used for other ceremonial practices. This kind of burning is commonly done at their ancestors’ graves during the Ghost Festival. A sycee is a type of silver or gold ingot currency used in China until the 20 th century. The name is derived from the Cantonese words meaning ―fine silk‖. https://image.freepik.com/free-photo/chinese-gold-sycee-yuanbao-bitcoin-white_43314- 1649.jpg One of the Chinese paper arts was patterned with a sycee. It is a gold paper folded to form like a sycee. Nowadays, Chinese made an imitation gold sycee which they used it as a symbol of prosperity and are frequently displayed during the New Years’ celebration of Chinese people. Paper art of Japan - Origami The traditional Japanese art of paper folding is called origami. The term origami came from ―ori‖ meaning ―folding‖ and ―kami‖ meaning ―paper‖. Therefore, origami means the process of folding a paper into representational shape or object. It started in the 17th century AD and was popularized internationally in the mid-1900s. It is eventually evolved into a modern popular art form. Transforming a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques without cutting as much as possible is the goal of this art. In the Heian period(794-1185) in Japanese history, Shinto wedding celebrations uses Origami butterflies to represent the bride and groom, so paper folding had become a significant aspect of Japanese ceremonies. Some of the common models used in Japanese origami are flowers, animals, birds, geometric shapes, and dolls. 17 Are you familiar of a paper crane? Paper crane is the best known Japanese origami. Did you know that? A promise of an ancient Japanese legend anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Wishes will be granted with eternal good luck, long life or recovery from illness or injury and can be given as a gift to anybody. According to their belief, the crane is a mystical or holy creature and is said to live for a thousand years. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_crane Decorative Chinese Paper Cuttings These are usually symmetrical in design when unfolded and adapt the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac as themes and motifs and mostly choose the red color. The earliest use of paper was made as a pattern for lacquers, decoration on windows, doors, and walls. Chinese Buddhists believe that hanging ―Window flowers‖ or decorative paper cuttings, like pagodas and other symbols of Good Luck, attract good luck and drive away evil spirits. The process of paper cutting is aided by a pair of scissors or knife and other sharp flat cutters. 18 JIANZHI Since paper was invented by the Chinese, their first type of paper cutting design is Jianzhi,. The cutouts of Jianzhi are also used to decorate doors and windows which are sometimes referred to as chuang hua, meaning ―window flower‖. Kite Making A kite is an assembled or joined aircraft that was traditionally made of silk or paper with a bowline and a resilient bamboo. Chinese kites can be originated in Wei Fang Sandong, China was the capital city of kites during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), and by the Ming Dynasty (1368- 16440). Since 1984 the city has been hosting the largest international kite festival on Earth. http://chinakites.org/htm/fzls-gb.html Did you know that: The famous 5th century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban were said to be the inventor of Kites. Later on, the paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission, for measuring distances, testing the wind, lifting men, signalling, and communication for military operations. The earliest known Chinese kites were flat (not bowed) and often rectangular. Later, tailless kites incorporated a stabilizing bowline. Kites were decorated with mythological motifs and legendary figures. (Source: Wikipedia.org) 19 Knot Tying Korea Decorative knot work is known as maedeup or called dorae or double connection knot, often called Korean knot work or Korean knots.

Japanese painting and printmaking depicts scenes from everyday life that are often crowded with figures and details. This tradition began in the early medieval period under Chinese influence. However, it is more popular in japan. Landscape painting is regarded as the highest form of painting in China. Ancient Chinese paper folding emphasizes more in the making of hats and boats unlike in Japan, where flowers, animals, birds, fish, geometric shapes, and dolls are the common models used in origami. There are six subjects/ themes and three concepts (earth, heaven, humankind) in the production of Chinese art. Weifang, Sandong, China is the capital city of kites during the Song Dynasty. Since 1984, China is considered to have the largest international kite festival on Earth. The invention of paper in China led to the development of a more economical medium of painting and was instrumental in the development of an aircraft by the Wright brothers. Knot tying in Korea is called maedeup, in China zhongguo, and in Japan it is hanamusubi. Face painting for theatrical performances are used in Peking opera in China and kabuki in Japan, while mask painting is used in Korea. The makeup and perfume worn throughout performances were highly significant to the stories that were being told in the kabuki play. 24 Assessment: (Post-Test) A. MULTIPLE CHOICE.
