Paintings

Artistic paintings were introduced to the Filipinos in the 16th century when the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines. During this time, the Spaniards used paintings as religious propaganda. Paintings were a way of teaching and communicating Catholic ideas in an attempt to spread Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These paintings, appearing mostly on the church walls, featured religious figures appearing in Catholic teaching. Due to the Catholic church's supervision of Filipino art and Spanish occupation of the Philippines, the purpose of most paintings from the 16th-19th century were to aid the Catholic church.

In the early 19th century, educated Filipinos with more money began the secularization of Filipino art and the deviation of religious paintings. The use of watercolor paintings increased and the subject matter of paintings began to include landscapes, Filipino inhabitants, Philippine fashion, and government officials. Paintings were done on canvas, wood, and a variety of metals. Portraits featured the painters themselves, Filipino jewelry, and native furniture. The subject of landscape paintings included artists' names and average Filipinos partaking in typical day-to-day situations.

Dance

Two examples of traditional Filipino dances are Tinikling and Binasuan and many more. Filipinos have unique folk dances like tinikling where assistants take two long bamboo sticks rapidly and in rhythm, clap sticks for dancers to artistically and daringly try to avoid getting their feet caught between them. Also in the southern part of the Philippines, there is another dance called singkil using long bamboo poles found in tinikling; however, it is primarily a dance showing off lavish Muslim royalty. In this dance, there are four bamboo sticks arranged in a tic-tac-toe pattern in which the dancers exploit every position of these clashing sticks. Dancers can be found trying to avoid all 4 bamboo sticks all together in the middle. They can also try to dance an entire rotation around the middle avoiding all sticks. Usually these stick dances performed in teamwork fashion not solo. The Singkil dance is identifiable with the use of umbrellas and silk clothing.
