Asia and West Asia. Unique lines, forms, shapes, colors, motifs and design are manifested in
the art of India, Central Asia and West Asia.
Resourcefulness and clarity are keys to successful art activities. The art of Indian,
Central Asia and West Asia reflects the dominant attitudes toward important aspects of life of
the period which produced them as a mirror of cultural history.
Rangoli is an art form, originating in the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are
created on the floor or the ground using materials such as colored rice, colored sand, quartz
powder or flower petals

Diwali lamp is one of the famous arts and crafts of India that being used in celebration of
Festival of lights which is a religious observance. It is a very exciting and colorful holiday, where homes
are cleaned to welcome the New Year and windows are opened so that the Hindu goddess of wealth,
Lakshmi, can enter. Hindus believed that she cannot enter a house which is not lit up, so every household
burns special Diwali clay lamps (diyas) to light the way for the goddess, which is why the holiday is
also known as the 'Festival of Lights'.
A. For this activity, we will try to create our own Diwali lamp that made of paper.
So, let’s try it! Maybe it will also attract the goddess of wealth.

Lace/Sequence, Glue. Scissor and Ruler
Procedure:
Cut the paper. You may use ruler and pencil to draw a
line at least half to one inch in thickness that will
serve as your pattern in cutting the paper in order to
make strips. Cut along the folded edge, but not all the
way to the end (save at least half or 1 inch) and make
a slits

How the visual art was produced and can be classified into specific periods, each
reflecting religious, political and cultural developments
How it intertwines with the enriching history, religions, and philosophies of the
subcontinent How strong sense of design can be observed in their modern as well as in their
traditional forms.
How they exhibit ornate, very intricate, and colorful motifs where a voluptuous
feeling is given unusually free expression.
What are the five independent republics, that comprises Central Asia.
The Middle East is a region that encompasses Western Asia and all or part of North Africa
The relation of the various arts to each other is very close in South Asia, where
proficiency in several arts is necessary for specialization in any one. Thus, it is believed that
without a good knowledge of dance there can be no proficiency in sculpture, for dance,
like painting or sculpture, is a depiction of all the world. For its rhythmic movements and
exposition of emotion, dance also requires musical accompaniments; hence, knowledge
of musical rhythm is essential. For the stirring of emotion either in music or in dance,
The arts were cultivated in South Asia not only as a noble pastime but also in a spirit
of dedication, as an offering to a god. Passages in literature refer to princes studying works of
art for possible defects. One inscription that mentions the name of the sutra dhāra (“architect”)
of the 8th-century Mallikārjuna temple at Pattadakal epitomizes the accomplishments and
ideals, in both theory and practice, of the artist.
Artists traditionally have enjoyed a high position in South Asian societies. Poets,
musicians, and dancers held honored seats in the royal court. An inscription mentions the
appreciation bestowed by RājendraCōḻa on a talented dancer, and the architect of the temple at
Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, who was also patronized by Rājendra, was eulogized for his encyclopedic
knowledge of architecture and art. Nonetheless, the folk arts were closely linked with the elite
arts. Tribal group dances, for example, shared common elements with classical art, dance, and
music. Among the artistic traditions of the Indian subcontinent, sculpture in the round (citra)
is considered the highest artistic expression of form, and sculpture in relief (ardhacitra) is next
in importance. Painting (citrābhāsa, literally “the semblance of sculpture”) ranks third. Feeling
for volume was so great that the effect of chiaroscuro (i.e., use of light and shade to indicate
modelling) was considered very important in painting; a passage from a drama of the 5th-
century poet Kālidāsa describes how the eye tumbles over the heights and depths suggested in
the modelling of a painting. A classical text on art, Citrasūtra enumerates noteworthy factors
in paintings: the line sketch, firmly and gracefully drawn, is considered the highest element by
the masters; shading and depiction of modelling are valued by others; the decorative element
appeals to feminine taste; and the splendour of colour appeals to common taste. The use of a
minimum of drawing to produce the maximum effect in suggesting form is considered most
admirable.
Portraits play an important role in the visual arts of South Asia, and there are many
literary references to the effective depiction of portraits both in painting and in sculpture. A
6th-century text, the Viṣṇudharmottara, classifies portraiture into natural, lyrical,
sophisticated, and mixed, and men and women are classified into types by varieties of hair—
long and fine, curling to right, wavy, straight and flowing, curled and abundant; similarly, eyes
may be bow-shaped, of the hue of the blue lotus, fishlike, lotus-petal-like, or globular. Artistic
stances are enumerated, and principles of foreshortening are explained. Paintings or sculptures
were believed to take after their creators, even as a poem reflects the poet.
Although South Asia has continually been subjected to strong outside influences, it has
always incorporated them into native forms, resulting not in imitation but in a new synthesis.
This may be seen even in the art of the Gandhāra region of Pakistan, which in the 4th
century BC was immersed in Greco-Roman tradition. In the sculpture of this period Indian
themes and modes have softened the Western style. Foreign influence is evident after the
invasion of the Kushāns in the 1st century AD, but the native element predominated and
Art in all these regions reflects a system of government, a set of moral and ethical
attitudes, and social patterns. The desire of kings to serve the people and to take care of them
almost as offspring is evident as early as the 3rd century BC. The ideal of the king as the
unrivalled bowman, the unifier, the tall and stately noble spirit, the sacrificer for the welfare of
the subjects, and the hero of his people (who conceive of him on a stately elephant) is
comprehensively illustrated in a magnificent series of coins from the Gupta Empire of North
India of the 4th–6th centuries. The concepts of righteous conquest and righteous warfare are
illustrated in sculpture. The long series of sculptures illustrating the history of the South Indian
Pallava dynasty of the 4th–9th centuries gives an excellent picture of the various activities of
government—such as war and conquests, symbolic horse sacrifices, the king’s council,
diplomatic receptions, peace negotiations, the building of temples, appreciation of the fine arts
(including dance and music), and the coronation of kings—all clearly demonstrating what an
orderly government meant to the people. Similarly, moral attitudes are illustrated in sculptures
that lay stress on dharma—customs or laws governing duty. The doctrine of ahiṃsā, or
noninjury to others, is often conceived symbolically as a deer, and the ideal of a holy place is
represented as a place where the deer roams freely. The joy in giving and renunciation is clearly
indicated in art. Sculptures illustrate simple and effective stories, as from the Pañca-tantra,
one of the oldest books of fables in the world. The spirit of devotion, faith, and respect for
moral standards that has throughout the centuries pervaded the subcontinent’s social structure
is continuously represented in South Asian painting and sculpture.
The culture of the Philippines is a combination of cultures of the East and West.
Filipino identity was created primarily as a result of pre-colonial cultures, colonial influences
and foreign traders intermixing and gradually evolving together. In pre-colonial times, the
Philippines was a divided set of nations, islands and tribes being ruled by their own kings,
chieftains, lakans, rajahs, datus and sultans. Every nation has its own identity and some are
even part of a larger empire outside of what is now the Philippines. Manila, for example, was
once part of the Islamic Sultanate of Brunei, and the Sulu Archipelago was also part of the
Hindu Majapahit. The advent of colonial rule in the islands marked the beginning of the
Philippines as an entity, a collection of Southeast Asian countries united under Spanish Empire.
Early pottery has been found in the form of mostly anthropomorphic earthenware jars
dating from c. 5 BC to 225 AD. Early Philippine painting can be found in red slip (clay mixed
with water) designs embellished on the ritual pottery of the Philippines such as the
acclaimed Manunggul Jar. Evidence of Philippine pottery-making dated as early as 6000 BC
has been found in Sanga-Sanga Cave, Sulu and Cagayan's Laurente Cave. It has been proven
