Blog #6 -- arts beyond the west

This topic is the ultimate overview of the past blogs. In arts beyond the west, many cultures and styles have emerged in different parts of the world from Asia to America.

I have learned that their styles and characteristics were similar to each other. For example, in Asia such as Japan, Korea, China and India, they are very traditional in terms of their subject matter.
They all present their gods through paintings and sculptures.

While in the American side, from Africa to the Pacific and the North America, they usually make masks and sculptures than paintings, they all possess the "hunting" characteristic with their artwork, they used naturalism because their life and events are shown in their artworks.

It influenced us Filipinos a lot, we have statues of our saints, we also portray them through different art forms.
Many painters also paint the daily lives of Filipinos.

So for me, arts beyond the west is the collaboration of the different art forms from the whole world.
