Paete Wood carving
Statues are one of the art forms that feature predominantly in the Catholic Churches. These statues serve as a reminder for the key events, beliefs, and individuals in church history.
Paete Woodcarving has been a thriving industry since the Spanish era until now.
Even the town’s name, Paete, goes away from the Spanish colonizer’s norms of naming places after saints.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

SCULPTURE
Overview
In the previous modules, you
were already introduced to
different art elements and
design principles as
manifested from different
Philippine arts – from simple
basket and mat weaving of
different indigenous and
cultural communities to the
highly sophisticated textile
weaving from Northern to
Southern Philippines. You
are also familiar with the
Angono petroglyphs, the
Laguna copperplate
inscriptions,.
In this module, you will
understand how Philippine
sculpture evolved from its
simplest form as manifested
in clay potteries of Maitum,
the Manunggul jar, the bul-ol,
and the pre-historic Angono
cave art to the highly-
Christianized period of
Chinese artisans in Manila
and the Paete woodcarvers
in Laguna and the western-
inspired, modern era of
sculptors Napoleon Abueva,
Guillermo Tolentino, Ed
Castrillo, and Jun Yee
among others. You will also
experience how to create
your own sculpture and
make an assemblage from
available and seemingly
useless trash and discards.

Sculpture played an important role in the
lives of the early Filipinos. It is evident with the
appearance of a low relief engraving of human
and animal figures seen in a cave in Angono,
Rizal (3000 BCE) which is believed to be the
oldest known art work in the Philippines and a
highly significant cultural landmark in the country.
It is the early attempt of the Filipinos to draw and
record things around him. It is said that the tur-
tles or pawikan shown in the rock arts of the ear-
ly Filipinos symbolized honor and prestige as de-
fined in the Vocabulario de la lengua tagala writ-
ten by Father Pedro de San Buenaventura with
the help of Filipino printers – Tomas Pinpin and
Domingo Loag.
In a burial site in Calatagan, Batangas,
archaeological diggings recovered a stone figure
made from brain corals called likha palapat. This
is an early sample of stone carving in the country
using crude materials.
As civilization progressed, the use of clay
as an important medium in pottery became so
popular that in many parts of the country, doz-
ens of artifacts have been recovered. These arti-
facts are usually decorated with flora and fauna
motif but what makes ancient pottery interesting
is the presence of anthropomorphic figures such
as those that are found in Leta-Leta Cave,
Langen Island, Palawan. The effigy jar features a
neck and lip of a yawning man. The Manunggul
jar, a secondary burial jar found in Palawan also
features on its lid a boat with two men rowing
which may show that the ancients are masters
of the sea and that in the Filipino cosmology, it
is believed that the dead follows a long journey
to other world after completing his life on earth.
The boatmen on the lid of Manunggul jar are be-
lieved to be the souls of the dead traveling to
other world.

In the jungle mountain of Pinol, Maitum
in Sarangani, remains of anthropomorphic
burial jars have been discovered in Ayub
Cave by a team of experts from National
Museum in the late 20th
century. The burial
jars’ unique feature is the intricately carved
head figures on the jar cover that are be-
lieved to be the image of the deceased.
Other features of the jar cover are the use of
red coloring around the neck and black ink as
eyebrows. Hundreds of pieces of the broken
jars are now on permanent display at the Na-
tional Museum.
In the mountain region of the
Cordilleras, woodcarving is an important art
for it plays a significant role in their belief
system. The bul-ol is a wooden figure of a
god that serves as guardian to rice granaries
and pathways. It is believed that this seated
figure will drive away evil and keep the owner
away from bad luck and bring good harvest.
On the other hand, the Muslim people
in Mindanao, particularly the Maranaos
carve the image of sarimanok, a mythical bird
in the Darangen and similar to the garuda
bird in Indonesian mythology. This figure
is said to be a status symbol in the communi-
ty. The art of sculpture is also popular among
the Maranaos as evident in their okir de-
signs in the torogan, panulong, and their mu-
sical instruments.

Can you name the santos presented above? How do they represent the religiosity of
your community? Do you think that the Spaniards refined our practice in making sculp-

MODULE 7 GRADE 7 ART LEARNING GUIDE
12. MODULE 6 GRADE 7 ART LEARNING GUIDE
The arrival of Spain in 1521 prompted the shift from
indigenous techniques of woodcarving to a more sophisti-
cated carving of santos using a variety of media such as
wood, stone, and ivory. The Spaniards found that sculpture
in the Philippines was less developed than the sculpture in
India, Java, China, or Sumatra.
By the end of the 16th
century, the establishment of
Academy of Arts and Sciences by the Augustinians made
significant imprints in the Filipinos’ taste for sculpture. Our
sculpture was severely hieratic, almost archaic and Byz-
antine in style in order to conform to the Christian ideals.
The Chinese were the first artisans employed by the Span-
iards outside of Manila to carve santos for the Catholic
Church. These santos were used to adorn churches and
homes of the well-to-do families in the lowland areas. It is
said that the carving of santos evolved from the pre-
historic belief of the Filipinos in their ancestors that the
spirits of the deceased continue to influence the lives of
the living. The practice of making altars at home for santos
was similar to the ancestor worship before the coming of
the Spaniards. Santos are also called poon which was a
clear indication that the ancient beliefs remained despite of
the persecution of the Catholic church. The santos of the
Filipinos were characterized by its simplicity of form and
expressiveness.
Paete in Laguna is known for its fine artisans work-
ing on a variety of biblical subjects such as the creation,
the crucifixion, the life of saints, the Virgin Mary, and many
others.
Another form of sculpture during the Spanish coloni-
zation was the retablo or the church altars that are in high
relief. Beautiful retablos are found in some of the old
churches in the Philippines such as San Agustin Church in
Intramuros, one of the churches in the Baroque style in
the Philippines. Another is the St. Michael de Archangel
Minor Basilica in Tayabas, Quezon and the Taal Basilica.
Old churches are of great significance in towns and prov-
inces and are found throughout the Philippines.

at Home, School, and the Community
You have learned different examples
of sculpture. Sculptures are forms of art
that are in three-dimension. It usually occu-
pies space and is free standing. It can be a
figure of man, plants, animals, events or in
the case of abstract art, a sculpture can
represent emotions, expressions and ideas.
Your task is to make an inventory of
sculptural works at home, in school, and in
the community. These works may have
been around you for a long time but you
failed to take notice of their significance.
Find out the story that they want to tell you.
You can do this alone or work with your

Several artists emerged during the American period as a result of the abolition of
Catholicism as a state religion. It paved the way to more liberal themes and subjects in
sculpture. Art movements in the west influenced our Filipino artists and as a response,
they developed their own style in conformity to the international standards.
Philippine sculptures during the American period, were often symbolic and rep-
resented events in Philippine history like the UP Oblation, the Pieta, Cry of Balintawak,
Bonifacio Shrine near Manila City Hall, Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan, Gomburza
monument in front of the National Museum, People Power Monument along EDSA, Our
Lady of Peace, also in EDSA, the Palo, Leyte Landing in Leyte, and many more.
A variety of media has been used by artists to express their art in addition to
wood and stone such as fiber glass, plastic, stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze. More
creative and revolutionary artists used junk material and organic materials to make art-
works.
Some of the notable artists during the American period and in the modern period
are Napoleon Abueva, Guillermo Tolentino, Ed Castrillo, Jun Yee, Abdul Mari Imao, and
many others who made significant contributions in the development of new styles,
forms, and expressions.
