10) MID 19TH CENTURY
In the early 19th century, wealthier, educated Filipinos introduced more secular Filipino art,
causing art in the Philippines to deviate from religious motifs. The use of watercolour paintings
increased and the subject matter of paintings began to include landscapes, Filipino inhabitants,
Philippine fashion, and government officials. Portrait paintings featured the painters themselves,
Filipino jewelry, and native furniture. The subject of landscape paintings featured artists' names
painted ornately as well as day-to-day scenes of average Filipinos partaking in their daily tasks.
These paintings were done on canvas, wood, and a variety of metals.
During World War II, some painters focused their artwork on the effects of war, including battle
scenes, destruction, and the suffering of the Filipino people.

20) Babaylan, the early healers, used chants to please the supernatural beings or spirits to bestow
good health and fortune in the home and the fields.

21) Palay Maiden - Renowned as the First Contemporary Filipino Artist, Amorsolo painted the
Philippine landscape in sunny and colorful depictions that idealized both nature and native beauty.
Using techniques of natural outdoor lighting and taking from the Impressionists of Europe, he
mastered the skill of natural lighting in his paintings, and this trademark was later called his mastery
of the "Philippine Sun."

22) Monalisa - The Mona Lisa (/mon lis/; Italian: Monna Lisa [mnna liza] or La Gioconda [la
dokonda], French: La Joconde [la kd]) is a half-length portrait painting by the Italian
Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci that has been described as "the best known, the most visited,
the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world".[1] The
Mona Lisa is also one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World
Record for the highest known insurance valuation in history at one hundred million dollars in 1962.[2]

23) Spolarium - The Spoliarium (often misspelled Spolarium) is a painting by Filipino artist Juan Luna.
The painting was submitted by Luna to the Exposicin Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1884 in Madrid,
where it garnered the first gold medal (out of three).In 1886, it was sold to the Diputacin Provincial
de Barcelona for 20,000 pesetas. It currently hangs in the main gallery at the ground floor of
the National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila, and is the first work of art that greets visitors upon
entry into the museum. The picture recreates a despoiling scene in a Roman circus where
dead gladiators are stripped of weapons and garments.

24) Artistic paintings were introduced to Filipinos in the 16th century when the Spaniards arrived in
the Philippines. During this time, the Spaniards used paintings as visual aid for their religious
propaganda to spread Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These paintings, appearing mostly on
church walls, featured religious figures appearing in Catholic teachings. In short, due to the Spanish
occupation of the Philippines and the Church's supervision of Filipino art, the purpose of most
paintings in the Philippines from the 16th to the 19th century were to aid the Catholic Church.[1]
 25) The art of the Philippines refers to the works of art that have developed and accumulated in
the Philippines from the beginning of civilization in the country up to the present era. It reflects to
its society and non-Filipinos the wide range of cultural influences on the country's culture and how
these influences honed the country's arts. The art of the Philippines can refer to the visual arts,
performing arts, textile art traditions, literature, dance, pottery, and other art forms in the country.

26) There are numerous types of Filipino dances, varying in influence, from the country's regions. Types
of Filipino dance include Cordillera, Muslim, tribal, rural, and Spanish style dances.
Within the Cordilleras' dances, there are the Banga, Bendayan, Lumagen/Tachok, Manmanok,
Ragragsakan, Salisid, Talip, Tarektek, and Uyaoy/Uyauy. The Banga dance shows the grace and strength
of women in the Kalinga tribe. Women performing the Banga balance heavy pots on their heads while
dancing to beat of wind chimes. This mimics Kalinga women collecting and transporting water. Another
dance, called Lumagen or Tachok, is performed to celebrate happy occasions. When Lumagen is
performed, it is meant to symbolize flying birds and is musically-paired to the beat of gongs. Another
cordillera dance, Salisid, is the dance to show courtship. In the Salisid dance, a male and a female
performer represent a rooster attempting to attract a hen.[2]
