What I Need to Know

[illustration: hand pointing with a finger inside a circle]

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 have 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.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will be able to:

1. determine the different materials and techniques used in sculpture in the
2. Highlands and lowlands of Luzon;
3. make or draw sculpture using local materials and techniques; and
4. appreciate sculpture works through determining the proper used of elements and principles of art and how it reflects the culture and history of the place.

a. What have you noticed on the activity? How did the materials contribute to the overall appearance of each arts and crafts? b. How can we identify the materials to be used to create a particular product?

The previous activity served as a guide for you to determine the materials mostly used in doing arts and crafts. This also showed the main tools specifically to craft a particular product. The next part of this module will give you a closer look on how these materials determined and how the beliefs, cultures, and traditions become contributing factors in crafting a particular sculpture.

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 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 on the removal of the material to “reveal” the sculpture.¹

[illustration: hands hammering and shaping a wooden block with a mallet and chisel] Additive

[illustration: hands using a hammer and chisel to carve a wooden block] Subractive

[illustration: two carved wooden human figures with arms folded, seated close together] Bul’ul

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

Paete, Laguna, considered as the Woodcarving Capital of the Philippines.”Ukit” is the local term for carving. Paete carvers usually produce wooden religious images and wood panels with decorative floral patterns and florid geometric designs. It is also a subtractive process of sculpture.

Higantes of Angono in Rizal Province are big papier machè of human figures that represent farmers and fishermen. According to stories, the original higantes were representation of hacienderos during the Spanish colonial period. The earliest known “higantes” are composed of a father, mother, and a child measuring 7 to 10 feet. These big papier machè is considered as assemblage and additive sculpture.

What’s More

Activity 1

Directions: In this activity you will be able to enhance your illustration skills and creative imagination in designing sculptures. First, make a plan of the sculpture you want to make/create. Decide for its height and width as well as the depth. Second, choose what materials you will be used. Draw your design on a separate sheet of paper.

SCUL-PLAN (Sculpture Plan)

[transcriber’s note: blank box for the student’s drawing]

A. What are the special characteristics of your design that makes it different from the other illustrations? (materials used) B. Based on your design, give at least three elements of art used and explain its importance.

Activity 2: Circle of Three

Directions: Based on the lesson presented in the previous sections of the module, sculptures were characterized by different elements or principles that make them unique and different among other artworks. Using the chart below, discuss how these elements provide aesthetics in the featured sculptures. Afterwards, respond to the following questions below. Do this activity on your notebook.

[chart: circle diagram; Circle of Three]

• Top circle: BUL ‘UL, with four blank lines (_____)
• Arrow down to: SCULPTURES
• Lower left circle: HIGANTES, with four blank lines (_____)
• Lower right circle: WOOD PANEL, with four blank lines (_____)
• Arrows from the lower circles point up to SCULPTURES.

Values are not labeled on the chart.

1. How do you think the elements or principles help these sculptures preserve their form and designs?
2. In your own opinion, is it important to know the elements being characterize by these sculptures? How do you say so?

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.

Directions: 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.

Okay, let’s start.

My Soap Floral Panel

Materials:

• Pencil
• Bond paper
• Stick/ barbecue stick/ cutter/nail pusher
• Sanding paper
• Clay F. Soap G. Cutter

Procedure:

1. Sketch your sculpture on a piece of paper then transfer on to the soap.

[illustration: a hand sketching a floral design on paper placed on a soap block]

2. Create a base.

[illustration: a hand carving a floral design on a soap block]

3. Move from large forms to smaller one.

[illustration: two hands carving a floral design on a soap block with a stick]

4. Carve in the details (you may use clay for additive purposes)

[illustration: hands shaping a floral detail on a soap block with a tool]

5. Add in textures.
