is a reflection of the country's historical and cultural heritage.
Most prominent historic structures in the archipelago are
based on a mix of indigenous Austronesian, Chinese,
American, and Spanish influences. During three hundred
thirty years of Spanish colonialization, the Philippine
architecture was dominated by
the Spanish influences. The Augustinian friars, along with
other religious orders, built a large number of grand churches
and cathedrals all over the Philippine Islands. During this
period the traditional Filipino Bahay na bató (Filipino for
"stone house") style for the large houses emerged. These
were large houses built of stone and wood combining Filipino,
Spanish and Chinese style elements.

 SCULPTING

Is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions, and one
of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used
carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of
material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials,
since modernism, shifts in cultural process led to an almost complete
freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials maybe
worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling,
or molded, or cast.
 PAINTING
In the early 19th century, wealthier, educated Filipinos introduced more
secular Filipino art, causing art in the Philippines to deviate from the
religious motifs. The use of watercolor paintings increased and the subject
matter of paintings began to include landscapes, Filipino inhabitants,
Philippines fashion and officials. Portrait paintings featured artist’s names
painted ornately as well as day-to-day scenes of average Filipinos
partaking their daily tasks. These paintings were done on canvas, wood
and variety of metals. During World World War 2, some painters focused
their artwork on the effects of war, including battle scenes, destruction,
and the suffering of the Filipino people.
