CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS AND THEIR PRACTICES FROM THE VARIOUS
REGIONS

Background Information for Learners

During the contemporary period, Philippine arts has continually gone

forward. Art has technologically advanced and changed over the period of
time. The major advancement of present-day arts in the country simply
demonstrates how artistic, advanced, and inventive
Filipinos are.

Most visual arts became bolder

and more serious focusing on vigor,
freedom of expression, and concern to
people. The Oblation (image 1), for
example, is a solid statue designed by
national artist Guillermo E. Tolentino
which became the iconic symbol of the
University of the Philippines. The statue Oblation Image 1
faces the sky with arms widely spread, Photo courtesy: Explora
signifying unselfish submission of Ph

oneself to his country.

In the field of music, Pinoy pop
(Filipino pop music) came to life covering
various forms like jazz, dance hits, rap,
etc. Subsequently, the Original Pilipino
Music (OPM) got its turn. This music is
written and sung by Filipinos.

OPM covers many sounds and

styles but in 2019, ‘hugot’ became the
central theme of most songs. In the December Avenue Image 2
same year, Spotify Philippines revealed Photo courtesy: Philippine star
that OPM defeated foreign songs on the
list of Filipinos’ most streamed tracks.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 1

The all-male band group December Avenue (image 2) and Moira Dela
Torre‘s “Kung Di Lang Rin Ikaw” (which was later used as the official sound
track of the film Hello, Love Goodbye) was noted as the most listened song
followed by “Sana” by I Belong to the Zoo and “Kahit Ayaw Mo Na” by This
Band.

In architecture, Filipinos slightly turned down the traditional way of

erecting houses. Educated Filipinos abroad introduced real estate. Due to the
growing number of residents in the metro, urban housing, and government
housing projects began to rise. Condominiums were also developed to
address the growing issue on space.
Expressways, amusement centers and
hotels also began to rise. San Miguel
Corporation, the largest corporation in
the country, changed the norm in the
Philippine architecture when it unveiled
its Banaue Rice Terraces inspired
building (image 3). Accordingly, it is one
of the first early models of green
architecture in the country San Miguel Corporation Building Image

For films, typical movie industry continued to operate. Independent films

or alternative cinema commenced to function. Contemporary films circled on
themes like but not limited to the following: comedies, fantasies, action,
romance, hard drama or combination thereof. Subjects were daring directly
pointing out the unending problems in the government and society. Other films
even show scenarios that are sensitive issues but timely.

Big movie producers opened doors for international taping and

screening. In 2019, the movie Hello, Love Goodbye (image 4) was released in
cinemas and caused the movie reviewers to react whether it is a love story or
socio-political observation on the Filipino migration. The said film was set in
Hong Kong introducing the life of a pinay nursing graduate who chose to be a
domestic helper abroad to back up her
family in the Philippines. According to the
film management, the film earned P250
million in just five days. Later, it was
acknowledged as the highest-grossing
Filipino movie of all time- up to this
writing.

For stage arts, The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) in 2019 launched a campaign “Stage
issues. In the same year, PETA produced in theaters the "Rak of Aegis" (image 5) for the seventh time.
While the original Filipino hit musical features the famous songs of the Aegis band, it also lets the viewers

CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS, TECHNIQUES AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICES

Background Information for Learners

Development of the Philippine

Arts Ethnic tradition

Art forms during the Pre-colonial period were mainly influenced by
geographical location and the practices of the Filipinos. Most of their arts
were animist or community-inspired. For early Filipinos who lived in
highlands, dance steps were imitations of movements of animals like birds
while those who were near the coastline mimicked sea creatures
movements. Tattoo was believed to be an art during this period. It served as
war medal for killing an enemy in a war. Tints from woods or charcoal were
used to draw tattoos. In terms of visual arts, wood carving, weaving, and
pottery were leading during this period. For their architecture, they used
native resources like anahaw, bamboo, cogon, and rattan in building their
houses. Epics, myths, riddles, and proverbs were few from their literature.
Content of music varied from war, rowing, courting, reaping, etc. Instruments
like bamboo flutes and brass gongs were used to accompany their songs.
On the subject and concept of theater arts, ethnic performances and
ceremonials were the early theatrical presentations describing their
principles in life.

Spanish Colonial Tradition

Several practices of the early Filipinos were stopped by the
Spaniards. Written traditions were burnt in belief that these were works of
evil. Religion, devotion and secularization became the central idea of arts
during this period. Literature was dominantly religious and secular. In
theater, plays like komedya became common. Painting was introduced
focusing on the religious themes. Paint colors were already introduced.
Sculpture focused on producing carved images of saints and catholic-related
images. Aside from stones and woods, metals were used in carving Stone
bricks were used in constructing their houses, churches and government
offices. Orchestra grew as zarzuelas and operas became prevalent.
American Colonial and Contemporary Traditions
Changes in education, culture and the arts brought to change when
Americans arrived in the archipelago. Filipinos were formally educated.
Those who were sent to study abroad went back carrying the idea of
contemporary art. Technological innovations transcended the traditional
way of creating art.

Art forms expanded letting artists experiment with various materials

and methodologies. Hence, artists created non-conventional creations with
wide range of themes. Contemporary Filipino architecture focused on urban
planning, economic zone, and regionalism.
Seven Major Contemporary Art Forms
1. Visual Art is an umbrella term for a comprehensive classification of
art which consists of several artistic disciplines. But commonly, these
are primarily visual in nature such as picture (painting, drawing, and
printmaking) and sculpture. A picture is two-dimensional image
produced by using different media such as ink, oil paint, charcoal and
watercolor. Sculpture, on the other hand, is three-dimensional that
may be shaped by means of a stone, wood, and marble. Some of the
contemporary art techniques are:
1. Collage is made by pasting different materials such as pictures
and pieces of paper or textile.
2. Digital arts describe technological arts which include digital
photography and digital painting.
3. Graffiti are either serious, rude, political, humorous words or
drawings printed on public walls or structures.
4. Print Making is the creation of images, typically on paper, fabric
and plastic materials.
5. Mixed media are artworks made by combining two or more art
materials or medium.

ROLES AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO CONTEMPORARY ARTS OF FILIPINO ARTISTS

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Filipino artists have a responsibility to create art that would enlighten
the people of the current conditions of the society, making this the vital role
played by the contemporary artists of today. In 1972, the Philippines named
its first national artists—world class painter Fernando Amorsolo [see
attached photo and artwork of Amorsolo below]. The National Artist Award is
a great honor given to the Filipino whose life and works have contributed to
the advancement of the country’s arts and letters. In addition, a national
artist embodies the nation contributing to nationhood through a critically
acclaimed significant body of work. There are numerous talented Filipinos in
the different fields of contemporary arts such as: Music, Visual arts,
Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, Architecture, Theatre, Dance, etc. that had
given the honor of being part of the Order of National Artists.

THE INSIGNIA OF THE ORDER OF
NATIONAL ARTISTS
The insignia of the Order of the
National Artists is composed of a
Grand Collar featuring circular links
portraying the arts, and an eight-
pointed conventionalized sunburst
suspended from a Sampaguita
wreath in green and white enamel.
The central badge is a medallion
divided into three equal portions, red,
white, and blue, recalling the
Philippine flag, with three stylized
Photo by letter Ks—the “KKK” stands for the
Official CCP’s motto: “Katotohanan,
Gazette Kabutihan, at Kagandahan” (“the
true, the good, and the beautiful”), as coined by then first lady Mrs. Imelda
Romualdez Marcos, the CCP’s founder. The composition of the Grand
Collar is silver gilt bronze. In place of a rosette there is an enamelled pin in
the form of the insignia of the order.
Executive Order No. 236 s. 2003, otherwise known as the Honors
Code of the Philippines, conferred additional prestige on the National Artist
Award by raising it to the level of a Cultural Order, fourth in precedence
among the orders and decorations that comprise the Honors of the
Philippines, and equal in rank to the Order of National Scientists and the
Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan. The National Artist Award was thereby
renamed the Order of National Artists (Orden ng mga Pambansang Alagad
ng Sining). This reflected the consensus among government cultural
agencies and the artistic community that the highest possible international
prestige and recognition should be given our National Artists. Section 5 of
EO 236 stated the President may confer the Order of National Artists “upon
the recommendation of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the
National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).”
Executive Order No. 435, s. 2005 amended Section 5 (IV) of EO 236,
giving the President the power to name National Artists without need of a
recommendation, relegating the NCCA and the CCP to mere advisory
bodies that may or may not be heeded. This expanded President Gloria
Macapagal- Arroyo’s flexibility to proclaim National Artists at her discretion,
which led to the controversy of 2009 and the subsequent intervention of the
Supreme Court by issuing a status quo ante order against the awardees that
year.

4. Artists who have created a substantial and significant body of work

form thus enriching artistic expression or style; and
5. Artists who enjoy broad acceptance through:

ACTIVITY IV: DIGGING DEEP
Directions:” EXPLAINING ARTISTS’ ROLES”. Below are some of the contemporary
arts from the Philippines. Explain how these arts reflect the artists’ role in the society
by filling-in the space provided for each item.
Sample:

This work of Fernando Amorsolo is a celebration of the pristine, rural

Philippine countryside. The scene is bathed in sunlight and features a
country maiden. Amorsolo was able to show to the Philippine society his
conception of an ideal Filipina beauty--is one with a rounded face, not of the
oval type, eyes that should be exceptionally lively, nose should be of the
blunt form but firm and strongly marked. The ideal Filipino beauty should
have a sensuous mouth not white-complexioned, nor of the dark brown color,
but of the clear skin which we often witness when we meet a blushing girl.”
For Amorsolo, the Filipino beauty was an important symbol of national
identity. The colors of the Philippine flag are evident in the blue handkerchief,
red skirt, and white blouse. The subject gazes directly at the viewer, holding
a generous bundle of newly harvested rice, a hope-filled moment for the
young Philippines.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Background Information for Learners

Contemporary arts is an art developed at the present period of time. It is

synonymous to modern art. However, there is a difference between these two
forms of arts. Modern arts are produced from impressionists’ era until 1960`s
while contemporary arts are from 1970`s up to this time. Another unique way
of distinguishing the two are the elements or principles being used in the arts.

Most of the contemporary arts are reflective of the experiences and events
being experienced by the artist while doing the art. It shows that it is not
restricted to individual experience but mirrors a collective view and
understanding of the event.

The following are the elements and principles of contemporary arts.

1. Appropriation is where artists deliberately copy images and use them
in their art. Appropriation artists wanted the viewer to easily recognize
the image and associate it to the new context.

2. Performance is the living artist art. It challenges the conventional way

of art such as sculpture and painting. It is also called the
dematerialization of the art object where man can physically become
the direct subject of an art through interpretation.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 45

3. Space refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer

to the artists’ use of the area within the picture plane. The area around
the primary objects in a work of art is known as negative space, while
the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space.

Philippines-Los Baňos

really- means-according-to-the-artist/

4. Hybridity is usage of unconventional materials or mixing unlikely

materials to produce an art work. For example, blood for painting and
syringe for sculpture.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 46

5. Technology is use of modern platform or equipment in creating an

art. This includes recording, live streaming, 3D printing or any art
from internet or digital technology

World Expo 2020 is set to become one of the largest in the

A principle/element can greatly affect the visual imagery of an art by either relaying a new
concept or the exposing obvious imagery of an art. Aside from the subjective visualization of an
art, a principle or element can also offer a new dimension through application of various
modalities. For example, an art can signify a different meaning if used in a performance or an
exhibit.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ARTS FROM THE REGIONS

Background Information for Learners

In all aspects of civilization, different forms of art helps in spreading
the country’s culture. Through the invention of printing, people can have an
easy access to any information all over the world through books and other
printed materials. Photography also helps the artists or painters promote in
their work. Here are some examples of art forms from different regions in the
country.
Region 1- they have the Oasiwas
dance performed by fishermen of
Lingayen Pangasinan when celebrating
a good catch accompanied by waltz-like
music. They also have the traditional
Ilocano handicrafts/ weaving “inabel”
fabrics. Weaving is a process used to
create fabric by interlacing threads.
Weaving is important because it is the http://www.ecddancecompany.com/portfolio-view/488-2/
basis of making many types of cloth
depending
on the materials and its weight as to what type of cloth can be made.

Region 2- we have the so-called Sambali or Piat Sambali

festival celebrated every year in Piat, Cagayan. It is a war
dance of the Itawis tribe of Cagayan that was converted to
Christianity through the intercession of the Lady of Piat. It
was revived with the belief that it would promote the
identity of the people of Piat, as well as strengthen unity
and harmony among its people. We also have pottery in
Iguig, Cagayan was established in the pre-war days and
has survived the devastation of World War II. The town’s
terracotta heritage, as evidenced in its colonial
architecture
and surviving pottery village, makes it a worthy stopover
when travelling to the north.
http://pinayforeverythingpinoy.blogspot.com/2012/07/our-lady-of-piat.html
Region 3 - Pawikan Festival-the main
activity here is the releasing of the
baby pawikan, which are hatched in
the conservation center. Every year,
during the festivities, they invite
visitors and thousands of students
from the provinces to promote
awareness and also be treated to https://www.karlaroundtheworld.com/pawikan-festival-2019/

some street dancing, sand sculptures, a showcase of local products, and

witnessing how the hatchlings go back to the sea.

Region 4 - Kalayaan festival aims to

showcase a new way of experiencing our
history and will hold the promise of
adventure and discovery of our glorious
past with great pride and enthusiasm on
history and will hold the promise of
adventure and discovery of our glorious
past with great pride and enthusiasm.

MIMAROPA Region - Moriones

festival- one of the most coloful
festivals celebrated in the island of
Marinduque. It refers to the
masked and costumed penitents
who march around the town for
seven days searching for
Longinus, a Roman centurion who
was blind in one eye. The
Moriones tradition has inspired the creation of other festivals in the
Philippines where cultural practices or folk history is turned into street
festivals.

The purpose of art is not to produce a product. The purpose of art is to

produce thinking. The secret is not the mechanics or technical skill that
create art but the process of introspection and different levels of
contemplation that generate it. Art is a sneak peak into the future of
potential, of what could be.
Art, in any form can give people emotions that can lift up their spirit
and make the more driven than ever. And this is the mere reason why art is
important in our daily lives. With the art that we are surrounded by, whether
it’s a painting, music, or even videos can have a huge impact on our mood
and emotions.
In order to have a purpose in and positively contribute to our
community, we must continue to create influential output. Create which can
translate to imagining, building, inspiring, etc. all these forms of expressions
is an art. People use different art forms because art is a symbolic
representation of ideas and thoughts.
The government implement programs such as Republic Actno.7355 or
known as “Manlilikha ng Bayan Act” the award is tied with a program that
ensures the transfer of their skills to new generations and promotion of the
craft both locally and internationally, also, to make sure that skills and crafts
of traditional artists are preserve. Art can be a tool for a positive change in
the government. People use different art forms in expressing their
feelings/opinions about the government, some even go to street to conduct
rallies as a tool to communicate to the government. Engaging in different
community activities can also change the perception of an individual like for
example participating in sidewalk painting or attending socialization in the
community can bring individuals together, it fosters community. Promoting
the different art forms in the region may also help the economy of the country
through tourism. Different art forms encourage us to express ourselves and
develop and build our self-esteem, through art forms we are able to translate
ideas and experiences.
