The Influences of the Western Classical Art Tradition to Philippine Art Form
Reading Time!
The historical and cultural traditions of the Philippines are reflected in its architectural heritage, such as the
churches. Now, it’s your time to find out how the Western architectures influenced the Philippine
architecture specifically the designs of the churches.
Art forms in the Philippines are diverse due to traditions and cultural influences. These foreign influences
specifically the Western Art can be seen in Philippine arts such as painting, dancing, weaving, sculpting,
and pottery. Western art made a huge impact in terms of designs, motifs, techniques, and styles.
In the 16th century, the Baroque style was carried by the Spanish and Portuguese to the Philippines where
it became the prominent style of building for large and small churches.

A proportionally very wide facade that seems to stretch between the towers is often seen in the large
Baroque churches. At the same time, the Spaniards’ religious propaganda to spread Catholicism
throughout the Philippines was done by means of paintings. These paintings appeared mostly on the walls
of the church. They feature religious figures in Catholic teachings.
The nipa huts made from natural
materials consisted of the pre-
colonial architecture in the
Philippines. Though, there are
some traces of large-scale
construction before the Spaniards
came. The pre-colonial walled city
of Manila which was dismantled
by the Spaniards and rebuilt as
Intramuros with its houses,
churches, and fortress after the
Spanish colonization is an
example of these traces.
The Philippine architecture was
dominated by Spanish influences
over three hundred years of
colonization. Here are the
