Painting: Culture and Environment
Introduction:
To develop your awareness of the indigenous people’s cultural identity,the color element is discussed in relation to their
various clothing designs. You will learn how to paint some of these artworks and at the same time get to know about
their lifestyle and attires.
Painting is the practice of creating an artwork or image by applying paint, color, or other medium to a surface.The
medium is commonly applied to the base with a paintbrush but other objects can also be used. Some Filipino clothing
materials are made from natural fibers of plants and/or vegetables like pineapple (for piña clothing), abaca (for abaca
clothing), or silk and vegetable fibers (for jusi clothing). Certain places or communities in the country have people who
specialize in making and weaving these fabrics. One of these places is Taal, Batangas.
Taal, Batangas boasts of a long tradition of hand embroidery which started at the turn of the century . It is known as
calado, an intricate, well embossed hand embroidery using mature leaf fibers from pineapples.The fabric aptly called
piña cloth is a soft, fine, flexible, and durable off white fabric about 2 to 4 inches(in.) or about 5 to 10 centimeters(cm.)
in length. This clothing material is known to be one of the finest in the world.
This art calado making has been one of the most treasured skills of early Filipinos. It is also one legacy from the past
that tells about their love for arts and culture. Filipinos like to wear garments and clothes with beautiful and eye-
catching colors and designs. Sometimes these clothes are nature inspired and have influences and attires specifically
worn during local or national festivities and celebrations.
