What I
Need to
Know
In our
past lesson,
you learned
about the
Elements and
Principles of
Arts present
in the arts
and crafts of
Luzon
(highlands
and
lowlands).
Let’s make a
review before
we proceed to

2
 Another element which created
when a line becomes connected and
encloses a space is called shape. There
are two types of shapes, the geometric
and organic shapes. Geometric shapes
are measurable like square, circle,
triangle and rectangle while organic
shapes have more complicated edges
like leaves, stone, flowers, etc.

Geometric shapes Organic shapes

A Form is a three-dimensional (3-D)

object. It has height, width and depth and NOT
flat like shapes; its depth shows the thickness of
the object.

Samples of form

Color add interest to artwork and make it more realistic. When light is
reflected through a prism, colors can be seen. These colors are: Red, Yellow, Orange,
Green, Indigo, Blue and Violet. Blue, red, and yellow are said to be primary because
they can’t be mixed to be made and they make all the other colors on the color
wheel. When you mix 2 primary colors together, you get a secondary color.

Value is the lightness or darkness of

a color and makes objects appear more real
because it imitates natural light. LIGHT
SOURCE is needed when showing value in a
work of art.

Application of value
 How the surface of an object
actually feels is called texture. In the
artistic world, we refer to two types of
texture--tactile and implied. Tactile or
real is the way the surface of an object
actually feels like texture of sandpaper,
cotton balls, tree bark, puppy fur, and the
like. Implied Texture is the way of artists
that is used when they draw and paint
Tactile Texture objects and these objects portrayed look
like as it feels in person. It may look rough,
fuzzy, gritty, or scruffy, but can’t actually
be felt.

The last element that refers to the

distance around, between, above, below,
and within an object is called space. There
are two types of space, the positive and
negative. Positive space is the space used or
the space where the object is placed.
Negative space is the unused space.
Implied texture

Principles of Art are tools to make elements of art organized. The first
principle is balance. It is the arrangement of the elements or objects to create a
feeling of stability in a work. Its forms include symmetrical, asymmetrical, and
radial balance.

Symmetrical Asymmetrical Radial

Rhythm and movement are the regular

repetition or duplication of elements to produce the
look and feel of movement while pattern is the
repetition of design.

Rhythm and movement

 When one area or thing stands out the most or serves as the focal point of an
image, it is called the emphasis.

Another principle that shows large

difference between two things to create interest
and tension is contrast.

Proportion comes when there is a

comparative relationship of one part to another
with respect to size, quantity, or degree (scale).

Variety refers to the changes and

Proportion differences of the elements used to the work and
thus, increase visual interest.

Unity is obtained when all the elements and principles are placed organized
and work together to create a pleasing image.

After reviewing the elements and principles of arts, let us see how it applies to
the arts and crafts of Luzon.

In the Philippines, textiles have unique designs, characteristics, materials,

functions and uses. The process of making their textiles, tapestries, attires and
fabrics is called weaving. It is a tradition that dates back several centuries and is an
intrinsic part of the Filipino culture.

Our ancestors make their own design using their knowledge and techniques
in making textiles and fabrics. It is important for them to preserve their traditional
styles in creating the said crafts.

In this module, you will learn how to make attires, fabrics and tapestries
using local materials and techniques of some tribes and groups in highlands and
lowlands of Luzon.
Learning Objectives

In this module, you will be able to:

a. determine the different materials and techniques used in attire, fabrics, and
tapestries production in the Highlands and lowlands of Luzon;
b. make/create attire, fabrics and tapestries using local materials and
techniques; and
c. appreciate the weaving techniques of Luzon by determining the proper used
of elements and principles of art and how it reflects their culture.

2. What clues helped you describe the textile?

3. What tribe or group usually utilizes it?

4. Was it easy for you to identify and describe each textile? Why or why not?

The activity tells us about the different uses of textiles for every group of
person in highlands and lowlands of Luzon. Their textiles show its relevance based
on the color and designs found on it.
 What is It

Highlands and lowlands of Luzon are rich in fabric or textiles, attires and
tapestries. Fabric or textile is a cloth produced by weaving, knitting, tufting,
knotting or bonding together using natural or synthetic threads, yarns, and other
materials. Attire refers to the clothes or outfits worn by the group of people in a
specific area or community. Tapestry corresponds to any piece of decorative fabric
to where the designs were originally applied through weaving as the fabric is being
made. It is used to cover furniture or floors, hang on walls and clothing decorations.
There are proper and unique techniques in weaving of raw materials used in
highlands and lowlands of Luzon.

ILOCOS REGION
Textile/ Fabric
Inabel fabric is made of cotton and well known
for its softness, beautiful designs, and strength.
Ilocanos use the wooden or pedal loom or what they
call pangablan, applied through several weaving
techniques and features different designs or patterns.
One of their techniques is the double-toned basket
weave or dizzying binakul weave that represents the
sea waves. They believe that it protects the one Binakul
wearing it from evil spirits. Another technique is the
suk-suk or discontinuous supplementary weft
technique. Among the complicated ones is the
brocade weave or pinilian which uses sticks inserted
on selected warp threads to create designs that float
on the threads. There are two kinds of pinilian:
scattered and continuous supplementary weft
techniques. The weavers of Pinili, Ilocos Norte are Suk-suk
said to be adept in the simultaneous warp and weft-
float type of pinilian called the impalagto, a
technique unique in the town.1
These patterns depict different land forms,
colors of flowers and vegetations, paid zigzags, animal
patterns, ocean waves, glittering night sky and the
like. These are the designs inspired by natural
elements that can be seen on their textiles.2

Attire
 kimona Pandiling

The traditional Ilocano dress made from inabel came in a two-piece ensemble
– blouse and skirt. The blouse called kimona is either plain white or pastel, usually
with a cowl neckline. The full-length skirt called pandiling is cone-shaped with a
drawstring around the waist. The designs of the weave are inspired by things in
nature such as diamonds, milky way, shells and stripes or checkered. The dress is
worn over a full slip called kamison. The tsinelas meanwhile, is a pair everyday
footwear made of leather, while the formal footwear called kutso are made of beaded
felt and leather which are worn on Sundays and fiestas.3

Tapestries

A hand woven wrap-around cloth called tapis is a

rectangular- shaped, vibrantly colored cotton fabric
traditionally worn by Ilocanos. It serves as clothing
decoration that compliments to the pandiling.

Another tapestry from Ilocos Region is their

blankets. The wasig blankets with striped design are
hundred percent originally handwoven by the artistic
weavers of Bangar, La Union.They use abel weaving
practices on a 2-pedal traditional wooden loom. Each
blanket is literally a work of art which continuously

 CORDILLERA ADMINISTRATIVE REGION (CAR)

KALINGA
Textile/Fabric
The natives of Kalinga are skilled in terms of weaving. They exhibit motifs as though
they are embedded in the geometry itself. The upper Kalinga weavers put textures on
the striped bands using a twill-weaved technique. This technique is made when the
weft thread passes over two or more warp threads and repeats that design one warp
thread over so that a diagonal or oblique line is formed

Some characteristics of Kalinga

textiles are tiny motifs, patterns and
embellishments, including miniature lattice,
continuous lozenges pattern, locally called
inata-ata, and pawekan or mother of pearl
platelets, among others.

The colors used in their textile have

cultural meanings: red signifies bravery;
black is for the soil or land; white is for the
flowers and coffee trees; yellow for the sand;
and green for the mountains.4

Attire

The attire for male Kalingas is the “bag” or commonly

called bahag. It is a long textile or fabric measuring about
ten to fifteen inches wide and three to five feet long. It is
used to cover their private parts and is firmly secured at the
waist to prevent the cloth from falling off. Some of them
include their costume a head gear with feathers and
some arm bands.

Females of northern Kalingas wear saya, an ordinary

woman’s skirt covering the body from waist to feet. In the old
times, both male and female have no upper clothing. They
only have tattoos which covers their upper body.

Tapestries

Southern Kalinga women wear a tapis called

kain-- a large rectangular to five feet wide, and three to four feet long. It is
woven clothing about three worn below the abdomen and reaches below the
knee.
Meanwhile, the cotton blanket called kagoy
came from malbakan. It is a large rectangular
blanket made of three strips of material sewn
together. It consists of color white cloth with red,
Kagoy Blanket yellow and green stripes.

BONTOC
Textile/Fabric
Bontoc people are skilled weavers too. Their weaving
method is called ikat,-- process of tying and dyeing the
threads to prepare the patterns before they are woven into
the textile. A key factor in their life is seen on their textile
design that revolves around the idea of ‘centeredness’ which
symbolizes permanence, order and balance.
Young Bontoc girls usually start their training with
the simplest part of the cloth, the langkit or edging. Next,
they move on to pa-ikid (side panels), leaning to simple
designs such as fatawil (warp- bands) and shukyong
(arrows). After mastering this level, they move on to the most
challenging part, the sinangad-am design which represents Bontoc weaving / cloth
the Sinamaki weaving.5

Attire

Bahag or wanes is the traditional attire of men in

Bontoc. It is made from long strips of hand woven loin cloth.
The women wear a short and lufid, a narrow wrap-around
skirt which covers the navel down to the knees and has a
side opening.

CAGAYAN VALLEY
Nueva Vizcaya

Textile/Fabric

Gaddangs textiles of Nueva Vizcaya are usually

decorated with little seed beads. They also use the twill-
weave technique because they are located near Ifugao,
Benguet and Quirino. Their textiles are very symbolic,
from plain to intricate floating warps, "eye" designs and
beautiful colorful twills. These textiles are woven by the
women from homegrown cotton, and dyed in bright
natural colors.
Gaddang textile

Attire

The attire of Gaddang women is long-

sleeve, round-neck, collarless and waist-
length blouse. An upper collarless, short
garment is also worn, together with
headkerchiefs. They have lavishly tasseled
and beaded headbands and combs. The
traditional costume for the Gaddang male is
the G-string, which is held by a girdle, whose
flap is weighted on the hem by beaded
tassles.6

Another work of art of Gaddang women is "tapis" or

skirt. It is a lengthy piece of cotton cloth worn around the
waistline down to the knees.
Bakwat is a cloth that serves as belt by the mother
after giving birth. The center part of this cloth is
commonly decorated with white beads accents
embellished in patterns which represent rivers ansd

 What I Can Do

MINI-LOOM BOARD WEAVE

In this activity, you will put your imaginative appreciation on weaving
of textiles, fabric, and tapestries into realization through creating your own Mini-
Loom board weave by following the directions carefully as presented below. You may
incorporate the forms, design and the spirit of the highland and lowland object in
your creation to make it more realistic and creative.
Take a photo of your artwork and submit it to your facilitator through
messenger, e-mail, or other media platforms

Materials:
cardboard/ Illustration board/ carton
scissors
yarn/ colored strings/ Shoelace/ other available strings
popsicle sticks / barbecue sticks
glue gun and glue stick

Procedures:
1. Cut both sides of the cardboard
same as with the picture. This
structure will serve as your loom
that you will use to give support
and tension on your weave.

2. Glue the popsicle sticks on both

sides of your board.
3. Using a yarn, string it over the card
board vertically. This process will
be the backbone of your weave. This
yarn is called the warp thread.

4. With another yarn, known as weft

thread, weave it using the over-
under-over-under technique. You
will see that you are creating
