6. Art, for indigenous people, had social utility. It is integrated into communal services, such as planting and harvesting, weddings, funerals, and rites of passage. Precolonial art was also used in the daily lives of people. For instance, there are woven fabrics for dresses, weapons for battles, and chants for a good harvest.

Higaonon and B’laan have banog-banog , and the Bagobos have the man-manok dance , which imitates a bird’s movement. Ifugao’s courtship ritual is called talip . These rituals are usually accompanied by their own musical instrument.

15. Instructions DEBATE Form two groups. Each group will be assigned a stand on whether art is revolutionary or not. Come up with reasons to support the assigned stand. Choose three to five representatives to deliver the arguments the respective groups came up with. Art is revolutionary: Art can dramatically impact the identity of the nation and its culture. Art is not revolutionary: Art does not significantly contribute to the development of the culture and identity of the nation.

16. ART MOVEMENT The Philippines is an archipelagic nation, which has a diverse set of cultures and traditions. Because of this, various art forms can be found in the country. Different ethnic groups have their art traditions and styles that make up their identity. Likewise, art can contribute to the development of national identity by serving as reflections of a country’s realities, traditions, and history. Filipino artists constantly explore unique and resourceful ways to convey these realities and contribute to the nation’s culture and arts. Art movements such as realism, minimalism, conceptual art, and neo-Expressionism are some of the common movements that Filipino artists used in their creations. These movements help our artists create works representing the nation’s identity.
