What I Need to Know
Have you ever been into a museum as one of the spectators of famous
sculptures of our history? Well, let’s make a tour as if you’ve been invited to see all
the historical sculptures hand-crafted by the well-known sculptors who are mostly
the natives in the country. Better get ready because you will be able to see how
magical their hands are and how well-detailed their products are as well. What are
you waiting for, get your cameras now and let’s take a click as we roam around our
natives’ historical sculptures.
Philippine sculptures are considered home-made because they are made with
materials found within the country. They are unique because of the different
techniques and processes used by the native sculptors - and they define the native's
beliefs and lifestyles. The native’s choice of materials depends on its availability and
local use. Every handicraft created mirrors the native's culture and traditions - and
with the current goals of preservation, was given the spotlight, along with other local
art products.

It requires more than the naked eye to witness the beauty of these artworks.
Through careful observation, you will understand the its impact on their livelihoods
and culture. Together, we shall discover and appreciate the sculptures and other art
works of Luzon. This will be a fun and exciting tour. Let our adventure begin.

What is It
Sculpture is the art of making
two- or three-dimensional
representative or abstract forms,
especially by carving stone or wood
or by casting metal or plaster.
There’s a wide variety of
medium that can be used in
sculpture both additive and Additive
subtractive process. Some of these
are Polymer Clay, Earth clay, Play
Dough, Soap, Plaster of Paris, Wax,
Balsa Wood, Paper mache etc.
Additive sculpting processes involve
adding materials to “build up” the
sculpture. Subtractive processes rely
MODULES FROM CENTRAL OFFICE
on the removal of the material to
“reveal” the sculpture.1
Subractive
One example of subtractive process is
the sculpture practiced by the Natives of
Cordillera”.Ifugao has a wooden sculpture
called bul’ul that represents the rice granary
spirits. It is used in rituals that are performed
to call the ancestors to protect their rice fields
from pestilence and to ask for an abundant
harvest. Bul’ul is a carved-wooden human
figure with simplified forms and usually made
of narra which signifies wealth, happiness,
and well-being to the Ifugao. During ritual
called tunod, which means “planting
seedlings in the soil”, bul’ul dipped in the
blood of pigs.2

What I Can Do
Wood panel is one of the main subjects of the carvers in Paete, Laguna
because of its high quality type of woods and its planishing texture. This sculpture
is known for its appealing florid geometric designs and decorative floral patterns.
In this activity you will use your creativity, imagination, and appreciation by
creating/ constructing your own Soap Panel with your favorite floral design through
incorporating the design and forms of the highland and lowland object in your
creation. This activity will use a soap which is the main material because of its
availability. You may also use clay as the materials to make it more attractive and to
add texture for the sculpture.
Take a photo of your artwork and submit it to your facilitator through
messenger, e-mail, or other media platforms.
