Pre-Colonial
Arts
(ETHNIC Arts)
In Pre-colonial
Philippines, arts are
for ritual purposes
or for everyday use.
Was there “art” before colonization?
Art of the ancient Filipinos were woven into the fabric
of everyday life.
Everyday expressions were all integrated within rituals
that marked significant moments in a community’s life.
planting,harvesting, rites of passage, funerary ceremonies,
weddings, among others.
Aside from the communal functionality of indigenous
art
pottery,weaving, carving, metalwork, jewelry also embody

forms with the present.

Preparing
for the hunt and prayed to be
endowed with strength of the animal they
hunted.
Partitionedwhat they hunted and gathered
and feasted on the fish they caught or the
pig they slew
Beginnings of arts
When they told stories about the hunt, this form of oral
storytelling marked the beginnings of “literature”
In time they would learned to devise an alphabet and
write these stories down.
When they imitated the movements of the animals
that they hunted, this marked the early beginnings of
“theater or play acting”
When they learned to add beating attach a rhythm to
their movements, they had given birth to “music and
dance”.
Rituals are still alive in various regions
Batanes – mayvanuvanua
Cordillera Autonomous Regions – cañao or kanyaw officiated
by a shman or mumbaki also involves animal sacrifice
Lake Lanao in Mindanao – Kashawing to ensure abundance
during rice planting and harvesting, involves a re-enactment
of the pact made by ancestors of the community and the
unseen spirits that inhabit the lake.
Tagbanwa in Palawan – believe that every thirteenth moon,
three goddesses descend from heaven to bless the planting
rice. The shamans go into a trance amidst ritual chanting and
dancing and are believed to be taken over the goddesses
itself
PAINTINGS
Tepo mat (double- layered) of the Sama of Tawi-Tawi made of pandan leaves
