HOW SHOULD
WE CHOOSE
OUR
MATERIALS?
  It is important to distinguish the
difference between indigenous art
materials and local art materials. Anything
indigenous naturally comes from the
LOCAL AND place or locality. Whereas anything local
INDIGENOUS also comes from the place or locality but
may or may not be originally part of that
ART MATERIALS place or locality.
 All indigenous art materials are local
materials but not all local art materials
are indigenous.
TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL

 Local art materials can be classified as traditional and non-traditional.

 Traditional art materials available locally are those that are usually bought
from department stores and bookstores. They include crayons, oil pastel,
watercolor, colored pencils and other usual materials used in school.
 Non-traditional art materials are materials that are not usually used in
creating art like coffee, plastic bottles and recyclable materials that are
similar to those used in junk art.
KINDS OF
LOCAL ART
MATERIALS
1. ABACA OR MANILA HEMP

 Abaca, also called manila hemp, is extracted from the

leaf sheath around the trunk of the abaca plant known
scientifically as Musa textilis, which is related to the
banana plant.
 Initially used as material for rope, the abaca found its
way in the arts. The plant can be found in plantations
in the Bicol Region and in the different regions of
Mindanao
2. COCONUT SHELLS OR BAO

 Coconut Shells or bao, are actually used for wood

carving, improvised cooking utensils and myriads of
other uses. Laminated coconut shells are considered
as almost the same as the quality and appearance of
turquoise shells or ivory.
 Coconut shells are bountiful anywhere in the country
where coconut palm trees, scientifically known as
Cocos nucifera, are planted. These shells are
byproducts of coconut fruit processing.
3. BAMBOO OR KAWAYAN

 Bamboo or kawayan, mistakenly identified as a

tree, is actually a kind of grass. Classified
scientifically as a plant of the subfamily
Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.
 It is found almost throughout the archipelago.
The bamboo stem has plenty of uses and one
of its prominent use is in creating art.
4. CAPIZ OR KAPIS

 Capiz or kapis shells come from the

windowpane oyster, a bivalve marine mollusk
in the family of Placunidae. They are abundant
in the Philippines, commonly found along the
coastal waters.
 Cleaned and processed capiz shells are used
for various artistic applications like windows,
lanterns, and walling.
5. RATTAN

 Rattan is a naturally renewable palm belonging

to the subfamily Calamoideae of climbing
palms.
 It is widely used as furniture, handicrafts, and
building material. It is grown in plantations in
Western Visayas and Mindanao.
6. COWRIE SHELLS OR SIGAY

 Small or Cowrie shells or sigay, scientifically

named Cypraea chinensi, measure about 2
centimeters each.
 They are often used in shell jewelry and shell
craft work. They are popular for their vibrant
color. They are found on sandy seafloor
around the Philippine islands
7. JUNK

 Junk, which are old or discarded articles, are

considered useless or of little value but for
the creative eyes of an artist they are essential
in creating a well-known art form called junk
art.
 The discarded materials stored or hidden
away inside homes or thrown in garbage bins
are usually made up of plastic, wood and
metal.
8. DRIED LEAVES

 Dried leaves falling off from branches of trees

and plants are inexhaustible. Ranging from pale
yellow to dark brown, dried leaves are
plentiful throughout the year.
 Dried leaves art is already considered a craft
of its own. Palm, pandanus, or sea grass leaves
are used to create artistic mats or banig.
9. PLANT SEEDS

 Plant seeds can be acquired from farms and

rural areas. Others can be bought
commercially like corn, sorghum, mung beans,
sunflower and the like.
 Seed art can be found in certain localities.
They are distinct for their creative and
colorful designs.
10. ROCKS AND SAND

 Rocks and sand of various types

are abundant. They vary in size
and color, allowing for varied art
forms.
