This is a graphic organizer that serves as a timeline for the multiple art forms which existed in the
Philippines. This also serves as a process to how Philippine contemporary arts were formed as we
know it today. Art genres and different art forms were not made overnight but through accumulation
of important, necessary events and happenings. In order to appreciate and explain the different art
forms, creating a timeline in which it states when a certain art was created is a necessity.
The reason for why I used a timeline is because I believe that the only way to understand why an art
was created the way it was created is to understand its history and its context. Art is inseparable with
history and the only way to explain why the genre and technique of our contemporary art is to also
learn the history which propels it.
