This module discusses local materials used in contemporary Philippine art. It identifies natural resources commonly used as materials for art and craft such as abaca, bamboo, buri, capiz shells, rattan, and sea shells. Each material has unique properties that make it suitable for specific art forms. For example, capiz shells are used for windows and partitions because they allow light to pass through. The module also provides examples of artworks made from these local materials. Learners are taught to recognize materials available in their own communities that can be utilized in artmaking.
