TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES APPLIED

TO CONTEMPORARY CREATION
Do you know some traditional
techniques in creating an a
contemporary creation?
2. POTTERY
• Pottery is also a form of sculpture.
• Traditional pot-making in certain areas of the Philippines
would use clay. Molding the clay required the use of
wooden paddles and the clay had to be kept away from
sunlight.
• Native Filipinos created pottery since 3500 years ago. In the
Philippines, evidence of pottery making has been found in
Sanga-sanga Cave , Sulu and Laurente Cave, Cagayan.
• They used these ceramic jars to hold the deceased which
serves as a secondary burial jars.
• Pots have been made for cooking, like the
traditional palayok.
• They may also be used for storage like the
banga and tapayan that were once used for
liquid storage.
• They were also used to keep the remains of
corpses; an example of this is the Manunggul
Jar.
• It is also used for plates, cups, water vessels,
and many other uses.
• Nevertheless, pottery traditions continued to
develop in certain locales, such as the burnay
unglazed clay pottery in Vigan. The pottery
tradition of burnay is among the pottery
traditions that have been maintained along with
those in Leyte and Bohol.
• Pottery up to the present times is much more in
demand because it has evolved from water
storage, burial jars, plates and cups, it is now
being used in planting flowering and non-
flowering plants in a pot which is of costly price.
Weaving
• This traditional art form involves many threads
being measured, cut and mounted on a
wooden platform.
• The threads are dyed on a loom.
• Early Filipinos used: Abaca, pineapple, cotton
and bark cloth.
What are the uses of weaved products?
• Baskets were also weaved and used as
vessels of transport (bukag), food storage
(for dried fish) and for hunting.

grains and catching fish.
• Weaving takes months before the final
fabric is produced. It is tedious because it
is done by hand and no gadgets are used.
POETRY
• It refers to the traditional oral literature of the
Filipino people.
• It covers the ancient folk literature of the
Philippines’ various ethnic groups as well as
pieces of folklore that have evolved since the
Philippines became a single ethno-political
unit.
DANCING is also another technique
used in performing arts.
We have several types of Filipino
dances.

work of art especially by carving, modeling and casting
(to form shape or model)
