Visual arts are art forms created to be seen with the eyes, expressing ideas, beliefs, feelings, culture, and creativity using lines, shapes, colors, and textures. During the early Philippine period, ancestors created various visual arts including pottery and ceramics (clay jars, pots, and bowls), sculpture and carving (wooden sculptures, bulul figures), weaving and textile arts (T'nalak, Inabel, Yakan), body ornamentation and tattoo art (traditional tattoos, beads), metal craft and jewelry (gold necklaces, bronze weapons), architecture and indigenous design (Bahay Kubo, Torogan), decorative arts and motifs (geometric patterns, nature designs), and painting and early religious art (religious paintings, church murals). These artworks reflect Filipino culture, bravery, status, and community values, serving as important cultural heritage that should be preserved.

What are visual arts?
Visual arts are art forms that people create to be seen with the eyes. They express ideas, beliefs, feelings, culture, and creativity using lines, shapes, colors, textures, and other visual elements.
We have different visual arts during the early Philippine period. First one is pottery and ceramics.
This is the art of making objects from clay, such as jars, pots, and bowls by shaping and heating them until they become hard.
Examples are clay jars, cooking pots, and burial jars.
These jars and pots are used for cooking, storing food, and rituals.
Another one is sculpture and carving.
This is the art of creating figures or designs by shaping or carving wood, stone, or other materials.
Examples are wooden sculptures, bulul figures, carved doors, and other religious and cultural symbols.
We also have weaving and textile arts.
This is the art of making cloth by weaving threads together.
Examples are the T'nalak, Inabel, and Yakan weaving.
They also create clothing and blankets from weaving.
Next one is body ornamentation and tattoo art.
This is the art of decorating the body with tattoos, beads, and other ornaments.
Examples are traditional tattoos, beads, and body decorations.
This body ornamentation and tattoos are symbol of bravery and status.
Another one is metal craft and jewelry.
This is the art of making useful and decorative objects from metals like gold, silver, bronze, and iron.
Examples are gold necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and weapons made of bronze or iron.
Next one is architecture and indigenous design. This is the art of designing and building houses and structures that fit the culture and environment of different communities.
Examples of this are Bahay Kubo, Torogan, Ifugao houses, and other traditional community structures.
We also have decorative arts and motifs.
This is the art of creating beautiful patterns and designs to decorate objects and places.
For example, geometric patterns, nature-inspired designs, and other decorations on baskets, clothing, and houses.
The last one is painting and early religious art.
This is the art of creating pictures using paint, especially religious images introduced during the Spanish period.
Examples are religious paintings, church murals, images of saints, and Christian symbols introduced by Spaniards.
