describes various contemporary art forms and their practices from the various
regions CAR11/12IAC-0a-1

Contemporary art is the art that springs out of the present-day events and passions of
the society. It is the newest form of art, amusing people from the middle to the late 20th
century up to this very minute.
Authorities in the arts place the emergence of contemporary art sometime during the start of
postmodernism in the West, around the late 1970s. This was the time when artists reacted to
the previous art period called modernism, whose idea of using a pure, simplified, and a
streamlined form and style was fundamental in creating something new at that time. This
gave birth to the idea that "less is more.
Contemporary art is produced by the 21st century artists living in the postmodern
age, it functions in a global society that is culturally diverse and technology-oriented. For
one thing, it provides instances for people to reflect and respond to contemporary social
concerns and issues pertinent to themselves and to the world. For another thing, it is a
combination of mixed styles, materials, techniques, and concepts that challenges tradition. It
has gone into the mainstream and into the communities. It has become a collaborative
process and the audience play an active role in reacting and constructing meaning about the
work of art.
LET US REVIEW

Let’s Try!
“MY TIME MACHINE”
Imagine that you are riding a time machine that brings you back to the past – ten years You
look at yourself, and you notice that you have also turned ten years younger!
Now, you look around and study your surroundings
You find yourself in the center of your hometown. What do you see aside from people?
Walk around and examine the scenery. Is there a commercial center? a plaza?
Are there houses, schools, or churches?
What type of buildings do you sad? Are there any monuments or statues around? drawings and
posters?
You move on, and soon enough, you stop at a store where people are watching a dance routine
in a television program, What kind of music do you hear from the program? What type of
dance movements do you see? What are the dancers wearing? Try to recall in detail the sights
and sounds in your hometown existing ten years ago. If you do not have a vivid memory of
your hometown, you can interview your parents, guardians or other residents of your town
about how it was ten years ago. Then, provide answers to the following:
1. Describe the scenery in your hometown ten years ago. Did it have any works of
art (architecture, visual arts, etc.)? What did they look like?

THE ELEMENTS OF ART
Art forms in the different regions vary in subject, theme, style, medium, and technique.
However, as you have learned in Grade 7, there are certain characteristics that are common to
all. First, the arts share the same tradition and influences which our country has undergone for
more than four centuries. Second, the arts can be used skillfully to suggest feelings and
emotions. Finally, they share certain elements and principles of organization or principles of
design. These are essential to the production of Philippine contemporary art. They serve as the
basic and common expressive tools of the art forms in the regions. The following are the
elements of art.
1. Space
Space in visual arts can be defined as a void, an emptiness which can either be positive or
negative. The positive space refers to a space enclosed in a shape, while the negative space
denotes the opposite. Moreover, in other art forms, space can be referred to as an interval or
pause. In literature, it is the pause between words, whereas in music, it is the interval between
notes.
2. Line
Line is the extension of a point, a short or long mark drawn or carved on a surface. It is an
implied path suggesting
a. direction: vertical, horizontal, diagonal.
b. character: jagged, curved, series of dots or broken lines. It is easy to pinpoint line in
painting, drawing, and other artworks of the similar type. But, in other types of art, such as
performing arts and literary arts, a line is described differently. In theater, a line may refer
to the script of the actor. In dance, it is the series of steps that a dancer makes
3. Shape and Form
When the ends of a line meet, they form a shape, Shape can also be described as a figure
separate from its surrounding area or background. It can either be geometric (angular) or
organic (curvy). Form is slightly similar to shape. It is an enclosed line, a figure separates
from its background. But, remember that shape is two-dimensional, while form is three-
dimensional. For instance, the square is an example of shape, the cube is a form. The circle is
a shape, the sphere is a form.
4. Color
Probably the most striking art element that catches the eye is color. It is a sensation created by
visible wavelengths of light caught in a prism. It is a mixture of organic or synthetic substances
called pigments, used as paint or dye. Color creates a mood or tone, such as red for passion,
anger, or love; blue for peace, nobility, or sadness, and yellow for gaiety, innocence, or
jealousy. Color also varies from dull to bright, depending on its intensity, like in music, where
intensity can also refer to the loudness or softness of a sound. Color can also have different
meanings, depending on one's culture.
5. Value
In visual arts, value is the degree of lightness and darkness of a color. In music, it is called
pitch, which is the highness or lowness of a tone. The tone color or timbre refers to the quality
of the sound. Like color, value suggests an atmosphere or mood, also found in other art forms
(e.g, strong contrast suggests a strong emotional response, especially in writing),
6. Texture
Texture is the surface of an artwork. A texture can be actual or tactile, meaning, it can really
be felt by touch; or it can be simulated or illusory, which means it can only be seen, not felt.
In music or writing, texture is the quality of style of a composition. The sounds from different
musical instruments allow one to hear texture in sound These elements are the basic tools of
expression in any art form, They can be found in nature and in a man-made environment,
Artists, arranges, and manipulate them to express feelings of mood and to convey their
message to the viewers, listeners, or readers
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
Design is the overall structure of an art form. It is a plan for order. It is the means by which
artists indicate and demonstrate the ideas and feelings they wish to convey the principles of
design are also called the organization of the elements. They help people make sense of the
environment, at the same time, make it aesthetically pleasing and interesting.
Because contemporary art has moved away from the classical styles, it is sometimes hard to
critic a contemporary work of art. Therefore, it is important to know the principles of design
to be able to evaluate its art value. A good contemporary work of art follows most, if not all
of these principles. They are tools for organizing the elements of art to produce a unified and
harmonious design, composition, or performance, Here are some principles of design found
in the arts.

1. Harmony
This refers to the wholeness of the design, the pleasing arrangement of parts, and the
agreement between parts of a composition, resulting in a united whole. It is easy to spot unity
in visual arts. If each of the elements in a visual work of art plays a vital role in the artwork,
then harmony is present. In music, harmony is the combination of musical notes
simultaneously played to produce music. No musical work has only a single note. It needs
harmony to be considered music. In writing, the theme or the topic is the uniting factor. It
binds all the parts and elements of the story, making it worth reading. A piece of work that
has no harmony is
2. Variety
Variety pertains to the assortment or diversity of a work of art. We can see variety in all of our
surroundings. Take flowers as example. Flowers come in different colors, shapes, and scent
because every flower varies from one another. Variations are produced so that monotony and
uniformity in the environment are prevented
3. Rhythm
Slightly contrary to variety is the rhythm or beat. It is the regular, repeated pattern in the
elements of art. It is a flow, or feeling of movement, achieved by the distribution of visual
units or sound units in time. The beat can be regular or irregular, simple or complex. Rhythm,
or beat, is natural in the universe. It exists in the human heartbeat, in the cycle of night and
day, in the waxing and the waning of the moon, and so on.
4. Proportion
Elements in a work of art should have a relationship with one another. This relationship is
called proportion. A well-proportioned shape is pleasing to the eye.
In a stage setting, the backdrop and the props must be appropriate to the performers without
outshining them so that they do not steal the audience's attention
5. Balance
Balance pertains to the even distribution of weight. It is the principle that deals with equality.
In art, there are two types of balance: - formal balance and informal balance.
Formal balance, or symmetrical balance, refers to two sides that are identical to each other.
An example is a cross-sectional image of a butterfly. The spread wings of the butterfly show
balance in the image.
On the other hand, informal balance, or asymmetrical balance, refers to two sides not identical
to each other yet equal in visual weight. Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, is a
good example of a design that uses asymmetrical balance.
The word "balance is used in many aspects of life and in world affairs. For example, in order
to be healthy, people need a balanced diet. In world affairs, people need a balance of power
from the stronger nations. Can you name other manifestations of balance in the world?
6. Movement
This is a fundamental principle in choreography and the theater arts. Movement is a way to
convey feelings and emotions. It is the means by which dancers make use of their bodies to
express an inner condition. Actors express their lines through facial expressions, gestures, and
body language as they move onstage. It is also a basic principle of nature. There is the
movement of time, of the tide, of the planets around the sun, and so on.
Emphasis and Subordination
Emphasis is the principle that gives importance or dominance to a unit or an area. This is
opposite to subordination, which gives less importance to a unit or area.

FORM, CONTENT, AND CONTEXT


When we look at a work of art, we have to consider three key elements in order to understand
it. These three are form, content, and context.
Form
The first key element that a spectator should consider in an artwork is its form.
Form is the surface feature of an artwork. It does not have anything to do with the art's in-
depth meaning. As the saying goes "What you see is what you get;" form is just what it is -
nothing else.

Content
The next key element to study in observing an artwork is its content. It is what the artwork is
about.
Content contains the subject matter that carries the message of the work. If form is the
embodiment of the work, then content is its substance. Content is evident in visual, literary,
and theater arts. However, in music, it is not as distinct because music is the most abstract of
the arts. In music, content refers to the principal and recognizable melody of the composition
something that is stated, developed, and repeated in the duration of the piece.

Context
Putting something in context means clarifying a word or a subject by describing the relevant
circumstances surrounding it. Context in the arts refers to the varied situations in which the
works have been produced or interpreted There are two kinds of context in the arts: primary
and secondary.
Primary context is the personal type, for it concerns the sentiments of the artist - his beliefs,
values, interests, attitudes, and emotions.
On the other hand, secondary context refers to the place and period in which the artist has
made his work: the social, political, and economic environment he is in; his and his society's
religious and philosophical convictions; the climate and geography of the area in which the
work is made; and his purpose in creating the artwork. These are the various circumstances in
which works a art are produced and/or interpreted.
CLASSIFICATION OF ART FORMS
Artists abound since there are many genres of art. And the number of artists keeps on
increasing as new forms of art emerge. Based on the sensory perception involved, the genres
of art are classified into visual arts, audio-visual arts, and literary arts.
1. Visual Arts. Visual arts are those forms perceived by the eyes. These include painting,
sculpture, and architecture. They are also called spatial arts because artworks produced under
this genre occupy space. They are further divided into graphic arts and plastic arts. Graphic
Arts. Graphic arts are those visual arts that have length and width; thus, they are also called
two-dimensional arts. They are described as flat arts because they are seen on flat surfaces.
Examples of these arts are painting, printing, drawing, sketching, commercial art, mechanical
processes, computer graphics, and photography.
Plastic Arts. Plastic arts are those visual arts that have length, width, and volume; thus, they
are also called three-dimensional arts. Examples of these are sculpture, architecture, landscape
architecture, city planning, interior design, costume design, set design, theater design,
industrial design, crafts (for example, handicrafts), and allied arts.
A. Drawing
Drawing is creation of an image, diagram or a form using drawing tools such as pen, ink,
brush, pencil, markers, charcoals, crayons. It uses hatching, scribbling, stippling and blending.
It represents a creative idea through a sketch on a paper or a surface. Drawing can be of great
use in creating comics strips, animation and visual illustrations.

B. Painting
A creative expression using pigment or
color on a surface for aesthetic value.
Tools or implements are used to apply the
coating through brush, sponge and the
like. It can be naturalistic, photographic
representational, abstract, narrative and
political.

C. Ceramic
Ceramic may take the form of pottery,
sculpture and figurines. Some may be
created for decorative functions industrial or
for art. It is basically the creation of objects
from inorganic, non-metallic materials
through the use of heat. The term 'ceramic
came from the word 'keramikos' which is a
Greek word meaning pottery

D. Photography This is art through
photos taken by a photographer. This
may be inspired by people, objects,
events or the environment itself,
Photography is an art where one
produces images of varied objects
through light and other forms of radiant
energy. Several effects can now be used
to produce images that projects illusions
through the use of more advanced
camera features such as Retro photo
effect, Lomo effect, Vintage photo
effect, Comic book photo effect etc.

E. Architecture
A creation of science with art purposive of designing structures. 'Architecture is
a Greek word which means "arkhitekton' which means 'master builder' or
'carpenter. It is the art and discipline of creating, or inferring an implied or
apparent plan of, a complex object or system. This may include urban planning
and design, landscape architecture. In architecture
function and aesthetic design matters specifically
for the benefit of the user.

F. Sculpture
Sculpture uses carving, modeling from
metals, ceramics, wood or stone. A work
of art which represents either a two- or
three-dimensional form using metal,
wood or plaster. It may also be expressed
in abstract but solid form.

G. Weaving
Weaving is a method of fabric or textile
production where two distinct sets of
yarns, fibrous materials or threads are
interlaced to form fabric or cloth.

2. Audio-Visual Arts. Audio-visual arts are


those forms perceived by both ears
(audio) and eyes (video). They are called
performing arts inasmuch as the artists
render a performance in front of an
audience. Examples of these are music
(vocal, instrumental, and mixed), dance
(ethnologic, social, and theatrical), and
drama (tragedy, comedy, tragicomedy,
Sourgoogle
farce, melodrama, etc.). Music, unlike
i
dance and drama, can be purely audial as
when the audience listens to a song played on the radio and does not see the artist
(the singer) perform live on stage.
A. Music
An art form that involves the creative use of sound to express insights and
emotions. Its elements include rhythm, pitch, harmony which creates a pattern or
a composition together with a song and even the playing of an accompanying
instrument. Music has varied genres such as reggae, blues, country, jazz, rock,
pop etc.
B. Theatre
Theatre or theater originated from the
ancient Greek 'Theatron' which is a place
where spectators gather to watch a
performance or a show. It is a
collaborative art where performers act a
real life or imagined story with their
speech, dance, music and movements. It
may take the form of an opera, mime,
ballet which oftentimes are
representation of specific cultures such
as the kabuki, Indian dance and the like.

C. Dance
This is an expression represented by
sequenced body movements. From the
French term ‘Dancier' which is a non-
verbal form of expression performed in
varied settings. Its involves motion and
the accompaniment of certain musical
genres.
Some dance disciplines include
gymnastics figure skating and
synchronized swimming in sports while
Sourgoogle
some represent culture such as Folk
dance.
3. Literary Arts. Literary arts are those
presented in the written mode and intended
to be read. These include prose (short
stories, novels, essays, and plays) and
poetry (narrative poems, lyric poems, and
dramatic poems). Prose forms differ from
verse or poetic forms in that the former are

Significant Contemporary Artists from the Regions

Name: _______________________________ Q1W5


Section: ______________________________ Date: ________________

LET US KNOW

Background Information
Contemporary art was defined by the J. Paul Getty Museum as “art made and
produced by artists living today”. A sort of review:

LET US STUDY

*The Elements of Arts:


- basic building blocks of making art.

1. Line- is a mark made upon a surface. There are


many different types of lines, including horizontal,
vertical diagonal and more.

2. Shape- are areas of enclosed space that are two-


dimensional. Shapes are flat, and can only have
height and width.

Geometric Shapes- can be defined as figures or areas closed by a boundary which


is created by combining the specific amount of curves, points, and lines (polygons).
Examples are triangle, circle, square etc.
Organic Shapes- are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and
animals. The circles and squares that make up this sculpture are geometric shapes.

3. Color- element of an art derived from reflected or


absorbed light.

4. Value- refers to the lightness and darkness of areas


in an artwork.

White- is the lightest value


Black- is the darkest value
3

Value Scale- shows a range of lights and darks.


5. Space- deals with the illusion of depth on a flat
surface.The element of space can be used in three-
dimensional art as well.
6. Form- is the three-dimensional of a shape

7. Texture- how something feels or looks like it would


feel if you would touch it. It can be rough, smooth,
silky, the list is endless.
Real- how something actually feels, such as a sculpture.

Implied- when an artist paints or draws a texture, it is


artificial. It is also important to know the common
principles of arts. Many of these concepts are not only
related to one another but also overlap to create an
artistic vision.

The Principles of Arts - use or the arrangement of the elements of arts

1. Pattern- is a very important design concept which refers to


the visual arrangement of elements with a repetitive form
or intelligible sequence.

2. Balance- is concerned with the visual distribution or


weight of the elements in a work of art.

3. Emphasis- is a way of using elements to stress a certain


area in an artwork.

4. Contrast- the arrangement of opposite elements (lights


vs. dark, smooth vs.
rough).

5. Harmony- it refers to how well all the visual elements


work together in a work of art.
Unity- refers to some kind of connection between all the
visual elements in a work of art.
4

6. Movement- how the eye moves through the


composition. Can create the illusion of action.

7. Proportion- concerns the relationship between the sizes of different parts in an


artwork.
Scale- refers to the size of an object compared to the
rest of the surroundings.Scale is different to
proportion in that scale refers to the size of an entire
object whereas proportion refers to the relative size of
parts of an object.

Many artists today often go beyond the traditional elements and principles in their
work by using new concepts and approaches like the ones listed below:

*CONTEMPORARY ELEMENTS OF ARTS

1. Appropriation- combination of new and old elements.


-existing artworks are
appropriated to produce
another artwork.

2. Performance- interpretation of various human activities.


-can be ordinary activities such as
chores, routines and rituals.

3. Space- site-specific art forms


wherein the art form is
performed and produced in
specific spots, especially in
public places.

4. Hybridity- is the mixing of


unlikely materials to produce
an artwork. -use of
unconventional materials to
produce an artwork.
5

5. Technology- used in the


creation and dissemination of
works of arts; used video and
the internet as a way of
propagating art.

In its most basic sense, the term contemporary art refers to art—namely,
painting, sculpture , photography , installation, performance, and video art—
produced today.

*Forms of Contemporary Arts

1. Painting- is the practice of applying paint ,


pigment, color or other medium to a solid
surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). In
art, the term painting describes both the
act and the result of the action (the final work
is called "a painting ").
Spoliarium by Juan Luna

2. Sculpture- it is a three-dimensional artwork


that may be created using stone, marble, wood,
concrete, ceramics, metal and other materials.

Philippine Water Buffallo by Yani Daquis

3. Photography- is the art, application and


practice of creating durable images by
recording light, either electronically by means
of an image sensor, or chemically by means of
a light-sensitive material such as photographic
film. Tree Photography by pinterest.ch

4. Installation- is an artistic genre of three-


dimensional works that are often site-
specific and designed to transform the
perception of a space.

Dead Whale Art Installation by CCP

5. Performance- a time-based art form that


typically features a live presentation to an

In this lesson, you will learn about our National living treasures, more formally
known as the awardees of Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA).

Their incomparable dedication to craftsmanship and excellence show how these


Filipinos lives and work. Many cultural practices of indigenous communities were preserved
because of their passion, abilities, and tenacity in passing down their tradition to the
youngsters. It’s one thing to be recognized as a living legend of the arts in the Philippines,
and it’s a whole other thing completely to be acknowledged as an artist who has kept a
rare sort of traditional Filipino creativity and ingenuity alive.

In 1992, the National Commission on Culture and therefore the Arts (NCCA) began
selecting and honoring recipients of the National Living Treasures Award, also referred to
as Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA), through Republic Act No. 7355. It continues
to be awarded today and is handed out in the form of a medal.

nationalmuseumofthephilippines/photos/a.404642599560064/1202435343114115/

The picture above shows the thirteen National Living treasures who have possess
technical and creative skills, creating work with fine artistic quality, and ties to community
and folk-art traditions. More than that, they show a strong character and unfaltering integrity,
leading them to earn the respect and admiration of the people.

The awardees yield art forms that are entwined into daily life. These proves how pre -
colonial traditions continue through to the present.

Traditional art is based on indigenous people’s cultures that are largely honed by oral
tradition. It finds deep affinities with nature, place, society, ritual, and spirituality and
everyday life. In traditional integrative art, forms and expressions do not normally end up as
objects distanced from everyday living. The site of dissemination and knowledge transfer is
neither in the formal spaces of a museum nor a theater. The process of creation is usually
shared among members of the community, and appeals to broader aspects of life.(extracted
from Contemporary Art from the Regions textbook , Flaudette May Datulin et.al pp. 58 ).
Thus, it emphasis on the intangible and communal aspects of art production that are closely
aligned with the process based and collaborative inclination of some contemporary art
practices.
The worker of a farmer named Teofilo Garcia of San Quintin in the Province of Abra,
2012 GAMABA awardee who have discovered and popularized the durable tabungaw hat out
of enlarged upo or gourd. He hollowed out the upo / tabungaw, varnished and polished it to
make it more durable and unique yellow sheen.

He used different mediums such as varnish to strengthens organic material, strips of


rattan (uway) to line the hat, fern (nito) is placed on the mouth of the hat as decoration. He
intended to transform the harvest into durable hats to protect the people who are exposed for
long hours under the heat of the sun, especially the farmers. Until now, he shared his
knowledge and skills of making the Tabungaw hat at San Quintin National High School and
inspires the youth to value tradition and to ensure its preservation.

Base from the given example of the work of Teofilo Garcia, we reiterate that
Philippine traditional art, though based on long - standing, established practices, has always
been contemporary in a sense that it is art that is being made now, and that it persists as part
of continuing performance of tradition ((extracted from Contemporary Art from theRegions
textbook , Flaudette May Datulin et.al pp. 57 ) .

On the other hand, contemporary-traditional art refers to an art produced at the present
period that reflects the current culture by utilizing classical techniques in drawing, painting,
and sculpting. Practicing artists are mainly concerned with the preservation of time- honoured
skills in creating works of figurative and representational forms of fine art as a means to
express human emotions and experiences. Subjects are based on the aesthetics of balancing
external reality with the intuitive, internal conscience driven by emotion, philosophical
thought, or the spirit. The term is used broadly to encompass all styles and practices of
representational art, such as Classicism , Impressionism , Realism, and Plein Air ( En plein
air ) painting. Technical skills are founded in the teachings of the Renaissance, Academic
Art, and American Impressionism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary-
Traditional_Art ).

What is GAMABA?

The word GAMABA stands for GAWAD SA MANLILIKHA NG BAYAN (


National Living Treasures). It is an award given to recognize the outstanding work of the
artists in the Philippines. The given award was established in 1992 through Republic Act No.
7355 until 2012.

Who are the GAMABA awardees? What are their qualifications?

The GAMABA awardees are the people who have adopts a program that will ensure
the transfer of their skills to others. They undertake measures to promote a genuine
appreciation of traditional craft and art and instill pride among our people about the skill of
the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA). Filipinos conferred as the forefront of the
practice, preservation, and promotion of the nation’s traditional folk arts.

building on the more common inuritan (geometric design) and sinan-sabong (flowers)
Gamayo’s skill and instinct are none more apparent than they are in her ability to replicate

EDUARDO MATUC
A Kapampangan from Central Luzon is recognized for reviving the Spanish colonial-
era craft of Plateria. This self-taught master craftsman found his calling in producing

Having finished up to elementary school, Eduardo Mutuc, a farmer at the time, became an
apprentice to furniture carvers to earn additional income. He had no prior knowledge of the
work he was getting into, but this did not stop him from expanding his experience and
becoming one of the most respected creators of religious and secular art today. He uses wood,
silver, and bronze to create exquisitely detailed and lifelike pieces of varying sizes: altars,
mirrors, retablos, and even carosas. Mutuc is based in Apalit, Pampanga. He was awarded in

LANG DULAY
A T’boli of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, was awarded for weaving the abaca ikat cloth

manifested in the complexity of her design, fineness of workmanship and quality of finish. In
Lang Dulay’s family, the weaving of the t’nalak (a fine abaca cloth) took place before or after
farm work, when the weather was cool and the conditions were better for the product. Dulay,
who grew up in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, was taught to weave by her mother when she
was 12. As demand grew for new designs, she persisted and kept working with traditional
patterns, even though they were harder to complete — she knew around a hundred, including
bulinglangit (clouds), kabangi (butterfly), crocodiles, and flowers. She valued purity, so much
so that she never washed her t’nalak with soap. She was awarded in 1998 and died in 2015.

Factors Affecting the Traditional Artist’s Production Process

1. Christianization. The impact of Christianity and the discussion of the locals to a remote
religion have made individuals from the network reject their indigenous ceremonies and
customs. At more regrettable, individuals are persuaded that the last are crude and thusly their
training has no spot in contemporary culture. Now and again

3. Mining and framework venture – mining and system adventures expel individuals from
their homes and seriously harm the earth. Denied the abundance of the land, indigenous
gatherings are provoked to look for short – term work from these businesses to get by in a
cash economy.

4. Tourism – plays a big role in one's nation. This is to promote the culture,
environment, and the life of a nation to others. Along these lines, land regions are changed
over into locales for traveler utilization. Environmental spaces become increasingly
vulnerable to harm with the consolidated powers of catastrophic events and visitor
convenience. Works of art local to the network will in general reduce in quality. Expelled
from their unique setting, the works are changed into mass delivered ornaments so as to
satisfy the needs of the traveler exchange. Neon huesand structures woven from engineered
strands have been made accessible as of late to make projects of levelheaded material plans
for business purposes.

5. Militarization - The weakness and pressures realized by hostile areas capture the
individuals capacity to make workmanship. It keeps individuals from having public social
events, were trades and passing information can happen.

Performance art is an artwork or art exhibition created through actions executed by


the artist or other participants. It may be live, through documentation, spontaneously or
written, presented to a public in a Fine Arts context, traditionally interdisciplinary.
Performance art, also known as artistic action, has been developed through the years as a
genre of its own in which art is presented live. It had an important and fundamental role in
20th century avant garde art.

LET US STUDY (PAG-ARALAN MO)

In this lesson, you will be able to familiarize yourself with what materials and
techniques contemporary artists use locally. By learning about the materials and techniques,
you will be able to critique and justify the materials and techniques used by artists when
appreciating their works. Your knowledge in this chapter may also be applied in your own
artwork.

Media or Materials Used in Contemporary Art

Music
The media of music are classified into vocal (voices) and instrumental (musical instruments).
Vocal media, as the term suggests, pertain to male and female voices. Male voices have three
registers: bass (lowest), baritone (middle), and tenor (highest). Female voices also have three
registers: alto (lowest), mezzo soprano (middle), and soprano (highest).

On the other hand, instrumental media pertain to the different instruments played by
musicians. Most of these instruments form part in orchestra. Based on how their sounds are
produced, they are classified into string or stringed, wind, percussion, and keyboard
instruments.

Dance
Dance materials are those materials used for costumes, properties, and set design. Costumes
include the head gear, the upper garments, the lower garments, and the footwear. Hats, caps,
fez, bonnets, helmets, crowns, turbans, and hoods are among the head gear. Blouses, kimono,
kimono, baro’t saya, malong, patadyong, traje, gowns, and the like are garments for female
dancers, while shirts, camisa de chino, barong Tagalog, shorts, long pants, trousers, and the
like are the garments for male dancers.

Drama
Before when the camera, radio, and television were not yet invented, the stage was only
venue for dramatic purposes. With the advancement in technology, plays have been
performed in places other than the stage and presented days or months after the actor’s
performance. Nowadays, drama comes in various media. Aside from stage plays, radio plays,
television plays, and movies form part of people’s entertainment fare.

Literature
The medium of literature is language. A poet, fictionist, novelist, dramatist, or essayist makes
use of words to compose a poem, short story, novel, drama, or essay, respectively.

Painting
The choice of the medium is a crucial aspect in art production. Mediums differ not only in
their inherent qualities but also in the effects they produce. Luckily, painters have a variety of
mediums to choose from.
Oil and fresco used to be the favorite mediums of great painters in the second half of the last
millennium.
Oil painting is done with the use of ground pigments (from minerals, coal tar, vegetable
matter, etc) mixed with linseed oil and turpentine or thinner. Fresco (Italian for fresh)
painting is done with the use of earth pigments mixed with water and applied to fresh plaster
or glue which attaches the color to the surface like a wall. Watercolor painting is done with
the use of pigments mixed with water and applied to fine white paper.
Tempera painting is done with the use of ground pigments mixed with an albuminous or
colloidal vehicle (egg yolk, gum, glue or casein). Pastel painting is done with the use of
pastel colors closely resembling dry pigments bound to form crayons, which are directly
applied to the surface, oftentimes paper. Acrylic painting is done with the use of synthetic
paints called acrylics mixed with a vehicle capable of being thinned with water. Encaustic
painting is done with the use of hot wax as a vehicle to blind pigments to a wooden panel or
a wall.

Subjects as Materials for Painting


There are so many subjects that can be presented in painting. The prehistoric men painted
animals and other things of nature on walls of caves. Others hand fun doing landscapes,
seascapes, cityscapes, and the like.
Portraits are picture of men and women singly of collectively. Before the camera was
invented, there was no other means to know the face of a person, most especially a dead one,
but through a portrait. Thus, paintings of men’s faces, if not their entire bodies, became a hit.
Nowadays, charcoal is one of the mediums used in doing portraits. In photography, an art
allied to painting, portraits are among the favorite subjects.

Tool Used in Painting


Just like any worker, a painter makes use of several tools in completing his work. These
include the brush or brushes, the palette, the palette knife or spatula, and the easel.

Sculpture
There are more materials available for sculptors than for painters. Anything that can be used
to form a three-dimensional figure is a likely medium for sculpture. Wood, stone, paper,
cloth, glass, cement, and plastic are some of the common mediums used by sculptors. Other
permanent materials such as shells, amber, and brick and even ephemeral ones such as
feather, dough used in baking, sugar, bird, seed, leaves, ice or snow, and cake icing have
become sculptural materials.

Subjects Used as Materials in Sculpture


The subjects of sculpture range from living organisms (people, animals, and plants) to non-
living things, places, events, etc.

Architecture
The mediums used in architecture are classified into light and heavy materials. Light
materials include paper, nipa, bamboo, and other light wood. All, except paper, form part of
nipa huts and similar dwellings in tropical countries. The advantage of these materials is that
they allow for good ventilation, but their disadvantage is that they are not resistant to fire and
other natural elements.
Traditional Techniques Applied to Contemporary Creation
Music
Music is classified into vocal music, instrumental music, and a combination of the two. Vocal
music is music produced by the voices of singers. The singing is done without the
accompaniment of musical instruments. Vocal music is rendered acapella. On the other hand,
instrumental music is music produced by musical instruments. It is exemplified by a pianist
doing a piano recital or an orchestra performing without a soloist or a group of singers. Vocal
music and instrumental music are combined to form mixed music or mixed ensemble.

Dance
Dances are classified in many ways. According to the number of performers, they are
performed alone, by a pair, or by a group. Based on subject or content, there are the war
dance, courtship dance, harvest dance, ritual dance, etc. According to the nature of the dance,
they may be imitative (tinikling, itik-itik, and maglalatik), religious, interpretative, and so
forth. Based on purpose, they are grouped into folk or ethnic, social or ballroom, and
spectacular or theatrical.

Drama
To create an outstanding drama, a playwright uses one or a combination of the following
dramatic techniques provided by an online source
(www.educationquizzes.com/gcse/english/dramatic-techniques/)

Confession. A character tells his true desires or feelings to another character.


Dramatic Irony. Similar to comedic irony, dramatic irony occurs when the audience or
character expects one event to happen, but the opposite happens or when something happens
as a result of a character trying to prevent that something from happening.
Music. Music sets the mood of a scene better than any other technique.
Narration. Narration done through voice-over or otherwise helps explain the multiple
dilemmas of a character, makes the audience laugh or cry, and directs or shapes the story to
convey certain emotions.
Surprise. Often used as a comedic technique, surprise easily catches a character or the
audience off guard.
Suspense. A cousin of surprise, suspense occurs when a character or the audience is
expecting something to happen.
Conflict. Conflict is a clash between people, values, or ideas.
Soliloquy. Soliloquy is a speech rendered by a character who thinks aloud rather than speaks
to any other character on stage.
Dialogue. Dialogue is a speech done by one character who speaks to another character on
stage.
Aside. An aside is a comment made by a character to the audience in a way that implies no
one on stage has heard it.
Tableau. A tableau is a still picture created on stage.
Theatrical secret. The audience knows something that one of more of the characters in a play
does not know.
Chorus. A group of actors speaks in unison, usually by commenting on the action of the play.
Disguise. A disguise is a technique by which a character deliberately appears to be someone
else.
Red herring. A red herring is employed by a writer who deliberately misleads or distracts the
audience in its expectations.

Literature
To make their writings effective, writers make use of literacy devices which include figures
of speech. The following online list contains 25 common literary techniques and figures of
speech.
(Source: https://www.litcharts.com/literary-devices-and-terms/figure-of-speech)

Painting
To create the desired visual effect, a painter may employ any of the following techniques:
acrylic painting, action painting, aerial perspective, anamorphosis, camaieu, casein painting,
chiaroscuro, divisionism, easel painting, encaustic painting, foreshortening, fresco painting,
gouache, graffiti, grisaille, impasto, miniature painting, mural, oil painting, panel painting,
panorama, perspective, plein-air painting, sand painting, scroll painting, sfumato, sgraffito,
sotto in su, tachism, tempera painting, tenebrism, and tromp l’oeil.

Methods of Presenting the Subjects


Realism. Also termed naturalism. It is the method of presenting subjects as they appear in
real life.
Abstractionism. An abstract genre of art; artistic content depends on internal form rather
than pictorial representation.
Distortion. It is presenting the subject in a misshaped form.
Mangling. It is presenting the subject with parts which are cut, lacerated, mutilated, or
hacked with repeated blows (Sanchez, Abad, and Jao, 2002)
Elongation. As the word suggests, elongation is presenting the subject in an elongated form.
Cubism. It is presenting the subject with the use of cubes and other geometric figures.
Abstract Expressionism. It is not an accurate description of the body of work created by
these artists. Indeed, the movement comprised many different painterly styles varying in both
technique and quality of expression.
Surrealism. It is beyond realism. It is presenting the subject as of the subject does not form
part of the real world but belongs to the world of dreams and fantasy.
Symbolism. It is presenting the subject symbolically, that is, the artist shows his subject as it
appears in real life, but he intends to let it represent something.
Fauvism. It is optimistic realism. It is representing the real-life subject with the use of bright
colors suggesting comfort, joy, and pleasure.
Dadaism. It is shocking realism. It Is presenting the real-life subject with the intention to
shock the audience through the exposition of the evils in society.
Expressionism. It is emotional realism. It is presenting the real-life subject with the intention
to express emotions, chaos, fear, violence, defeat, morbidity, and tragedy.
Impressionism. It is realism based on the artist’s impression. It is presenting the real-life
subject with emphasis on the impression left in the artist’s mind or perception.
Futurism. It is realism in the future. It is presenting a subject that relates not to the present,
but to the future.

Sculpture
Sculptures are found everywhere. In the Philippines, one can find the “Oblation” in the
University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Jose Rizal’s monument in Luneta,
Andres Bonifacio’s monument in Liwasang Bonifacio, the Katipunan relief sculpture near
Manila City Hall, and the busts of the Filipino heroes in Rizal Park. These sculptures are
classified into round sculpture and relief sculpture. Also called a free-standing sculpture, a
round sculpture or sculpture in the round stands on its own and is capable of being viewed at
all sides. All, except the Katipunan relief sculpture, are examples of round sculpture.

Architecture
Primitive men used to live in caves primarily because they did not have the tools for building
houses and were not equipped with the knowledge of construction. When they began making
implements, they started constructing tree houses and similar dwelling places. Through the
years, the structures that house men have continuously improved. With the Industrial
Revolution and the introduction of steel and other construction materials, the mushrooming
of high-rise building is inevitable. Architects see to it that the basic types of architectural
construction form part of these sky-reach buildings. These are the post and lintel, the
cantilever, the arch, the truss, the vault, and the dome.

Materials and Techniques in Contemporary Arts

In this lesson, we will discuss the materials and techniques used by contemporary
artists. By learning about the materials and techniques, you will be able to critique and justify
the materials and techniques used by artists when appreciating their works. Your knowledge
in this lesson may also be applied in your own artwork.

DEFINITION

The substances or materials used in the creation of a work of art, as well as any
production or manufacturing techniques, processes, or methods incorporated in its
fabrication. This information includes a description of both the materials used to create the
work and the way in which they were put together.

Materials Used in Contemporary Arts


As mentioned earlier, contemporary artists
are experimental in the materials they use. With
the help of technology and expanded knowledge
from other countries, contemporary artists are not
limited anymore in using traditional materials.
Some artists salvage materials that they can
still use to make creative forms. They can combine
materials like wood and metal that can interact
with the wind to make music. There are some who
use everyday items like plastic cover for food,
paper for sculpture, mirror or yarn. Some may use
their personal things like clothes or accessories.

Traditional Materials
Water color paint, acrylic paint, brushes, crayons, pencils, clay, lettering pens,
weaving materials, papier mache, chalk, paper of different sizes, wood, dyes, ink, charcoal,
among many others are commonly used in creation of arts. Traditional materials are long-

established, standard substances most artists’ use.

Indigenous Materials
Indigenous materials are materials that are naturally and locally found in a specific
place or area. Indigenous materials also do not require costly processing, which consume
energy and other resources, and can be used even in their raw, untreated forms, such as
canes, grass, palms, and rattan.

Non-Traditional Materials
The use of non-traditional or found materials has to transform that material so that it
becomes something else than the novelty of the material itself. Nowadays, there are many
artists who use unconventional materials to create art. These alternative options satisfy their
desire to stretch their creative imagination. Making use of whatever materials available.

Processes or Techniques

DEFINITION

The means, method, process, or technique by which a material was used in the creation of a
work and communicate the desired concept or meaning, according to the artist’s personal
style.

Technique vs Style
The term “style” with reference to how an artist paints is often misunderstood. It’s
similar to an individual’s handwriting – an illustration of the personality of the individual,
very often expressed unconsciously.
An individual style, while part of the artist’s being, can contain a multitude of
technical approaches and variations. Thus, technique is the systematic procedure by which
the style is conveyed.
So, style and technique intermingle. The style is what you are born to do, the
technique is what you chose to do.

Some Filipino Artists and their Techniques

4
Fernando Amorsolo (1972) This
man is the country’s first ever
National Artist. He is known for
infusing lighting technique into his
works, making most of his designs
bright and sunny. A realist painter,
where his colorful depictions of
local people reflect the radiance of
the Philippine sun.
‘The Fruit Gatherer’, 1950 © Fernando
Amorsolo

Hernando Ruiz Ocampo (1978)


Best known for his abstract paintings. Ocampo used bold
color palettes and biomorphic shapes inspired by both his
country’s landscape and by science fiction writing.

Hernando Ruiz Ocampo ABST RACT 1953

Ang Kiukok (1935-2005) ‘The Fishermen’, 1981 © Ang Kiukok

Born to Chinese immigrants, Ang


Kiukok is the pioneer of
Philippine modern figurative
expressionism. Rewarded as the
country’s National Artist in 2001,
he was one of the most
successful commercial figures on
the local art scene from the 1960s
until his death from cancer in
2005. He is known for his
distinct cubist and surrealist
portrayals of the crucifixion of
Christ and mother and child. However, he is acclaimed for his series of Fishermen at Sea,
which connects both energy, faith and the struggle of fishermen under a vibrant crimson sun
laboring together to bring in the haul for the day.

5
Jose Joya (1931-1995)
A Filipino pioneer of Abstract
expressionism, multi-media painter
José Joya uses bold and vibrant
colors with a variety of painting
techniques, layering, loose impasto
strokes and controlled drips. His
harmonious colors are influenced by
Philippine landscapes and tropical
wildlife. His mastery lies in gestural
paintings, where the paint is applied
spontaneously on canvas, sometimes
directly out of the tube or through
the use of broad strokes with
brushes.
‘Granadean Arabesque’, 1958 © Joya
Victorio Edades (1976)
Edades is tagged as the Father of Modern Philippine Painting. He is known for his dark and
subdued shades in his art pieces.

Cesar Legaspi (1990)


This artist is the Philippines’ first neo-realist. He indeed used the geometric technique in his
daring-themed arts.

Arturo Luz (1997)


As a painter, a sculptor, and a designer for over 40 years, he elevated the Filipino aesthetic
vision through serious expression and form in his art.

Onib Olmedo (1996)


A Filipino artist best known for his expressionistic figurative paintings. He
represented marginalized members of Filipino culture, including prostitutes and
musicians, using the techniques of Cubism and Expressionism to contort their
bodies and faces.

Major Styles in Visual Arts


Realism
In realism its subjects painted from everyday life in a naturalistic manner; however,
the term is also generally used to describe artworks painted in a realistic almost photographic
way. It is the style many people think of as "true art." Only when examined close up do what
appear to be solid colors reveal themselves as a series of brushstrokes of many colors and
values.

6
The artist uses perspective to create an illusion of space and depth, setting the
composition and lighting such that the subject appears real.
Impressionism
Impressionism sought to capture light, not through the detail of realism, but with
gesture and illusion. Objects retain their realistic appearance yet have a vibrancy about them
that's unique to this style.

Expressionism or Fauvism
Both are characterized by their use of bold, unrealistic colors chosen not to depict life
as it is, but rather, as it feels or appears to the artist.

Abstract
The subject or point of the painting is the colors used, the textures in the artwork, and
the materials employed to create it.

PART 1
Art Acquisition and Enhancement and Art Integration
A description of the arts suggest that art and the ability to make art is an
indispensable part of human nature. For although individual capabilities may differ, artistic
expression is man sharing himself to others so that they too may appreciate what is in
themselves. Art acquisition further emphasizes that an essential part of cognitive
development is the awareness that art is part of growing-up; of becoming a person with a
capacity to express and share his thoughts and emotions. Once this capability had been
realized enhancing artistic skills follows. Herein lies the discipline of what it is to become
professional artist.

LESSON 1: ACQUIRED SKILLS ENHANCEMENT

On Skills Acquisition
In the curricula developed by the local educational system
(DEPED and CHED), a study of the arts has been, since preschool. Integrated
into the process of formative and higher education. Subjects like MAPEH and Art
Appreciation under the Humanities aims to expose all students to the Arts through
Classroom instruction and hands-on experience. The main objective of the educational
system is not only to educate but also to tap the students’ natural abilities and inclination
towards the Arts as a form of individual expression.

Individual differences make one aware of the existence of “gifted


artists” who do not require much training in expressing artistic
potentials and aspiring

Art activity in Preschool

Where art is therefore concerned, the process of acquisition and


enhancement involves creating - i.e. exploring, discovering, and
experimenting. The process is what most important, not the thing
that is actually created.

Art activity in Secondary


When a person has chosen to become an artist, what is most important isto
practice, practise and practice. He should devote time for advance ;earning
by reading about different art techniques and to not be afraid to experiment
with a variety of art media. He also should keep in touched and be aware
of the different trends in contemporary arts.
Art activity in Tertiary

The standards of artistic acquisition demand that individual should know and be able to
do any of the following:
 To be able to communicate at a basic level in any of the artistic disciplines - dance,
music,theatre, or the visual arts. This includes knowledge and skills in the use of the
basic vocabularies, materials, tools, technique, and intellectual methods of that art
discipline.
 To be able to communicate proficiently in at least one art form, including the ability to
define and solve artistic problems with insights, reason, and technical proficiency.
 To have information acquaintance with exemplary works of art from a variety of
cultures, historical periods, and a basic understanding of historical development in
thearts disciplines, across the arts as a whole, and within cultures.
 To be able tp relate various types of arts knowledge and skills within and across the arts
disciplines. This includes mixing and matching competencies and understanding in art-
making history and culture, and analysis in any arts-related project.

On Skills Enhancement
How does one become a good artist and have people look at his artwork in amazement
and wonder? To answer this: becoming a good artist is always a work in progress. There is just
no end to the learning, the growing and the evolving. In addition, what defines a good artist is
his concentrate to developing the following characteristics in himself:

Artistic Ability. A good artist contentiously develops this ability to further his natural, creative
skills. He is never satisfied with what he had already learned but is contentiously learning to
hone his artistic skills.

Creativity. A good artist knows how to make the most use out of his imagination. He should
come up with original ideas and have the courage to be different in his artistic expression.

Manual Dexterity. A good artist always allots time for practicing his skills. Artists’
techniques differ in the manner in which he makes coordinated hand and finger movements
like in how he makes brush strokes, executes sketches or molds a pliable medium.

Computer Editing. A good artist keeps up with technology and exerts effort to gain computer
literacy.
Communication Skills. A good artist should be able to convey information to people clearly
and simply. The ability to transmit and receive messages clearly aids him in being able to read
and understand his audience.

Self-promotion/ Marketing Skills. A good artist should learn how to publicly relate oneself
to people for purpose of selling his products and services.

A proof of an artist’s capabilities can be compiled in a portfolio. This portfolio should


be carefully developed to contain a demonstration of accomplishment works which would
highlight the artist at his best. The portfolio should display his style that is unique and indicative
of the direction from which he is working from. The artist sholud have both digital and hard
copies of their portfolio available.

PRODUCTION PLANNING
According to Ray Wild, “Production planning is concerned with the determination,
acquisition and arrangement of all facilities necessary for future operations.” Based on sales
forecasting, it is planning on the Ways and means of production to have direction in the activities
to be undertaken by the producer. It is a prerequisite of production control. Take for instance the
class will have a play production. The human (actors and production staff) and non-human
(costumes, props, set, lighting, sound, equipment, special, visual, and other effects, etc.) resources
needed must be determined and arranged for use in the production stage. Synonymous with a film’s
pre-production, production planning involves the breaking down of the script into individual scenes
storyboards, the identification of all locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects, and
visual effects, the scheduling of the production activities, the construction of the set, the hiring of
the crew, the fixing of the financial arrangements, and the setting of the start of the principal
photography.

n

Procedure in the Production Design Plan


Step 1. Investigate
Collect and discuss samples of artworks, materials that motivate you. Ina the creation of an
artwork the choice must inspire you. Investigate involves research and exploration.

Step 2. Conceptualize.
Through brainstorming, feedback, reflection and evaluation for production written or visual
exploration of ideas should be listed. Ideas can randomly and spontaneously pop out. Weighing the
pros and cons of the ideas will determine its corresponding merits. Choosing these relevant ideas and
seeking for feedbacks from other people should be documented.

Step 3. Set the Objectives


The objectives and purpose of the product should be elaborated in this part. The purpose
should be discussed as well as the expected outcome for the artwork.

Step 4. Assess the Audience

3
It is necessary to describe the audience. Their expectations, attitudes and knowledge about the
product or artwork should be explain in this area
Step 5. Create the Written Plan
The written plan will serve as the guide for the entire creation of product. Varied art activities
means differences in approaches and techniques. Log lines for films and shot list for photography can
be used.
Step 6. Create a Visual Plan

Work on the visual plan which will actually determine the flow of the story according to the
detailed storyboard, flowcharts etc. based on the planned movements from the beginning to end.

Shot list example

Story Board – a graphic organizer in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the
purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.

CAR11/12AP-0f -h-17

Skills enhancement refers to strengthening of acquired artistic skills as these are applied in the
production of artworks or integrated in other fields of specialization. A musical play
production involves the writing of a script (language and literature), the creation of costumes,
props, and set design (painting, sculpture, and architecture), singing (music), dancing (dance),
acting and directing (drama), and a host of other talents and skills. This activity is a good
vehicle for skills enhancement especially that it requires consistent rehearsal. Indeed, skills
are enhanced with regular practice.
The creation of an artwork is either a simple or complex process. The more skills involved,
the more complex the process. Take the case of making a lantern to be used as a home decor
during Christmastime and another to be used as an entry in the lantern-making contest in
Pampanga.
