Lesson 2 : PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS
VOCABULARY
Fiesta or festival - is a communal celebration of a patron saint, a commemorative or
historical event, thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest or a blessed
circumstance; or a showcase of local indigenous peoples, their
rites and rituals, their skills and products, and their traditions.
Patron is the name the local people give their patron saint for whom they
dedicate the festival and celebration for.
ART ELEMENT AND PRINCIPLES
Mask-making is a process of creating a face covering after a particular style and
design. For example, the masks at the Maskara festival are all
smiling, while the masks in the Ati-atihan are unique and iimaginary,
using different materials and found objects.
Baroque décor Because the masks made tend to be heavily decorated and fully
covered with beads, sequins, buttons and found objects, and
glitter, art lovers label them so “baroque”.
Texture Ati-atihan masks are always a surprise because the local people
decorate it with such original materials and various textures
that they are literally, works of art!

found materials, beads, seeds, cardboard, tetra pack paper, brooms, coconut shells,
