What learners will learn
The module follows this learning competency: the learner identifies characteristics of arts and crafts in specific areas in Luzon, such as papier-mâché (taka) from Paete, Ifugao wood sculptures (bul’ul), Cordillera jewelry and pottery, tattoo, and Ilocos weaving and pottery (burnay) (A7EL-Ia-2).
By the end of the module, learners should be able to:

- Appreciate how these characteristics relate to the culture of the Luzon highlands and lowlands.
Textiles: attire, fabrics, and tapestries
The module opens with a fun comparison of American cartoons and Japanese anime, to show that you can tell art styles apart by looking at style, technique, materials, and subject. It then applies the same skill to Luzon textiles.

- What I Know: a 20-item multiple-choice pretest to check what you already know.

In connection with our topic, we also need to identify the characteristics of arts and crafts of Luzon (highlands and lowlands) to recognize their aesthetic and unique qualities, the real talents of the artists, and the importance of their masterpieces in the community.
Relative to this, here are illustrations of textiles in Luzon that show different designs.
Activity 1.2
