 “The real arts of
merit in China were
calligraphy &
painting.”
– Mark Cartwright
Ancient China covered a vast and
ever-changing geopolitical landscape,
and the art it produced over three
millennia is, unsurprisingly, just as
varied. There are certain qualities
inherent in Chinese art which make it
possible to describe in general terms
and recognize no matter where or
when it was produced and for what
purpose.
ESSENTIAL QUALITIES :
1. Love of nature
2. Moral and educative capacity of art
3. Admiration of simplicity
4. Appreciation of accomplished brushwork
5. Interest in viewing the subject from
various perspectives
6. Loyalty to much-used motifs and designs
from lotus leaves to dragons.
Confucianism was the
dominant way of life
subscribed to by the
general public. Those who
subscribed to principles
espoused by Confucius
believed that in order for
society to work, one must
learn how to sympathize
to others. These principles
became evident in most
artworks depicting
everyday life and how
these social interactions
come to play.

 POPULAR FORMATS:
1. Walls (from c. 1100 BCE)
2. Coffins and boxes (from c. 800 BCE)
3. Screens (from c. 100 CE)
4. Silk scrolls (from c. 100 CE for horizontal
and from c. 600 CE for vertical)
5. Fixed fans (from c. 1100 CE)
6. Book covers (from c. 1100 CE)
7. Folding fans (from c. 1450 CE)
 THEMES:
1. Portrait
2. Landscape
Portraits in Chinese art began in
the Warring States Period (5th-3rd
century BCE) and were traditionally
rendered with great restraint, usually
because the subject was a great
scholar, monk or court official and so
should, by definition, have a good
moral character which should be
portrayed with respect by the artist.

The art of calligraphy - and
for the ancient Chinese it
certainly was an art -
aimed to demonstrate
superior control and skill
using brush and ink.

Porcelain is one of the commonly
used items to make decorative
ornaments, such as vases and jars.
The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty of
China (1368-1644 CE) benefitted, as
did other arts, from the economic
success of the 15th century CE, in
particular, and the consequent surge
in demand for quality handcraft
production both at home and abroad.

Japanese art covers a wide
range of art styles and media,
including ancient pottery,
sculpture in wood and bronze,
ink painting on silk and paper,
calligraphy, ceramics,
architecture, oil painting,
literature, drama and music.
Artifacts like ceramic
figures and ornaments
show the influence of
Korean and Chinese
art on Japanese
creation.
Haniwa
The native religion of Japan is
Shintoism. Although, this
religion subscribes to beliefs such
as being one with nature and
embracing the notion of the
existence of many gods, it did not
use art to communicate its
beliefs. Buddhism became an
integral part of Japanese culture.
PA I N T I N G S
The Japanese style of painting
leaned toward abstract and
naturalistic handling. In essence,
the artist is given the free reign for
his work, which had more room for
spontaneity and individuality. Many
artists focused on individual
portraits, elements of nature, and
most commonly scenes from
everyday life in creating their
artworks.

The Japanese also
developed a kind of
painting called the ukiyo-e
(Floating World), which
was crafted through
woodcut prints.

The ceramics, among the
best in the world, represent
the first known artifacts of
Japanese culture. Ceramics
are made from raw materials
like clay and pottery stone,
which contain components
with glasslike qualities.

The tea ceremony, perfected by
tea master Sen no Rikyū late in the
Muromachi period, uses pottery
unique to Japan. This includes
specialized utensils, flower vases,
and rustic bowls such as Raku
ware and Oribe ware. Imari ware—
a kind of porcelain once made in
the town of Arita, Saga Prefecture,
which is now famous for Arita
ware.

Throughout Philippine history,
spanning from the precolonial
period to the contemporary
periods, different art forms have
emerged in the Philippine art
scene. Most art forms used by
ethnic communities include
pottery, weaving, carving, and the
use of metalwork and jewelry
(Caslib, et al., 2018).

The Philippines has
numerous indigenous scripts
collectively called as suyat.
By the end of colonialism,
only four of the suyat scripts
survived and continue to be
used by certain
communities in everyday

Weaving was
also one of
the earliest
forms of art
expressions
in the
Philippines.
Weaving in
the
Philippines
dates back to
the 13th
century. It
makes use of
local cotton,

When the Spaniards discovered the
Philippines during the sixteenth century,
they introduced their religion to the local
people. Aside from acquiring resources,
they had a goal to replace the existing
indigenous cultural practices and beliefs of
the early Filipinos. Art was used by the
Spaniards to propagate their Christian faith
while at the same time, subtly establishing
their foothold in the country.
