Contemporary art of the 21st century may combine
elements of performance, painting, sculpture, dance, and
many other media. It draws on the movements of modern art,
including minimalism and assemblage art, to create dynamic
pieces that aim to challenge the viewer and spark thought.
Many contemporary artists use their work to comment
on cultural and political issues, including race, human rights,
economic inequality, and global conflict. As the world
continues to change and impact human life on a large scale,
art continues to experiment with new ways of reaching its

Art plays a significant part in the rich cultural identity
of the Philippines. It mirrors the Filipino people, its history, its
tradition, and the country as a whole.

Diverse art forms in the different parts of the archipelago,

when integrated, will give a clear picture of what kind of
country the Philippines is and what kind of people the
Filipinos are.

These art forms developed from the early times continue to

evolve up to the present. From the ethnic tradition, it continues
to progress to contemporary art tradition.
Written Work # 1: Modern VS Contemporary Art

Modern Art Contemporary

Art
The words ‘contemporary’ and ‘modern’ are often used
interchangeably to describe something on-trend or new.
‘Modern’ is typically used to describe the present or recent
times instead of the remote past, so it’s a fair assumption that
modern art was created recently. In reality, that’s not the
case. Modern art refers to art produced during a specific
period in the past, and many famous examples of modern art
are almost 200 years old.

When we talk about art that is of the now, we are talking

about contemporary art. ‘Contemporary’ is the correct term
to describe art that is of the present times, typically created
by living working artists.
What Is the Difference Between Modern and Contemporary Art?
‘Modern and contemporary art are of two different time
periods. Modern art refers to art created from the 1880s up to the
1970s. While modern art is more recent than the Renaissance or
classical art periods, it is by no means current.

Contemporary art describes current works of art. Usually, those

still living and creating artworks or those who have only very
recently died or retired.

Modern art is primarily drawing or painting. However, the rapid

rise in technology has drastically increased the mediums available
to contemporary artists since the modernist period ended.
Today’s contemporary artists are more experimental with their
mediums. Contemporary art could be on almost any medium you
can think of – video art, object design, tech-enabled artworks,
graphic arts, etc.
Contemporary art can be challenging to understand, digest, and
classify. Unlike the art periods that came before it, contemporary
art is not united by a style and is not easily grouped into different
movements like modern art.

Art of the present day is less focused on being visually attractive

and more focused on drawing awareness of attention to the day’s
issues. The modern era started this shift away from aesthetic
beauty, but contemporary art has taken it further and has shifted
the focus to the work’s underlying concept.
Various Contemporary Art Forms and their Practices
from the various Regions

• Visual Arts. In the American period, education

was introduced to the Philippines. There were
Filipinos who studied abroad and influenced the art
making in the country. Juan Arellano, Diosdado
Lorenzo, and Victorio Edades were among those
who studied outside the Philippines. These three
artists went back and introduced the concept of
modern art in the country.
Various Contemporary Art Forms and their Practices
from the various Regions
Literature. In the field of poetry during the
contemporary period, publication of young poets
to campus journals emerged,
Music. During the early American period, the music of
the country was mostly classical due to the influence
of the European. This kind of music continued
flourishing until the 1950’s. It was in the 1960s that
avant-garde music emerged. The Philippine music at
the time evolved into a combination of classical and
traditional or ethnic music.
Various Contemporary Art Forms and their Practices
from the various Regions

Dance. During the first years of the American period,

vaudeville or bodabil dancing became popular.
Bodabil is a kind of stage show introduced by the
American Dances like buck-and-wing, tap dancing,
clog, skirt dancing were among the dances being
performed in the show.
Architecture. In the American Colonial and Contemporary
Period, the Philippine architecture adopted the modern
Western architectural style while taking into consideration
the physical and socio-cultural situation of the country. The
Philippine architecture was characterized as simple, rational,
and functional, and;
Various Contemporary Art Forms and their Practices
from the various Regions
Film industry in the Philippines started in 1897 through the initiatives of
foreign businessmen. Swiss entrepreneurs were the first to feature film
shows in Manila. The Film became popular in 1912 when foreigner Edward
Gross and Harry Brown produced the film about the life of Dr. Jose Rizal.
This started filmmaking in the country and each art forms have significant
developments in the contemporary period. The artists thirst for innovation,
the social, economic, and political environment, and the emerging new
technologies are among the factors arts in that influenced the development
of these contemporary art forms.

There was a regional initiative taken to develop and promote the

contemporary arts in the Philippines like the establishment of art groups
and conduct of different
art fairs, workshops.
The Visual arts are art forms such as painting,
drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics,
photography, video, filmmaking, design,
crafts, and architecture. Many artistic
disciplines such as performing arts,
conceptual art, textile arts also involve aspects
of visual arts as well as arts of other types.

attraction in the annual festival in
Angono, Rizal in honor of St.
Clement, patron saint of the fisher

of Philippine ceramics. The two prominent
figures at the top handle of its cover

afterlife. It is made from clay with some
sand soil. Pottery stands among one of the
most ancient arts in the Philippines.
• Have you been in Bohol or
Palawan? What place have you
visited where there were sculptures
like: statues, monuments, or
superheroes, etc.? How do you feel
about them?
“Painting is the practice of
applying pigment suspended in a
carrier (or medium) and a binding
agent (a glue) to a surface
(support) such as paper, canvass,
or wall.

Painting is also used to express

spiritual motifs and ideas; sites of
this kind of painting range from
artwork depicting mythological
figures on pottery to The Sistine
Chapel and to the human body
itself.”

resilience of the
Filipino people in
times of need,
adversity, and
disaster. It showed
the true character of
the Philippine folks as

our country.
“A mural is any piece of artwork

The Decorative arts
are arts or crafts
whose object is the
design and
manufacture of
objects that are both
beautiful and
functional. It includes
interior design, but
not
usually architecture.
Cloth weaving - One of the most
valuable living traditions that are
still preserved until this day is
the cloth weaving. Beginning in
the pre-colonial era, the art of
cloth weaving, particularly of the
Cordillera tribes in the North, still
lives notwithstanding the threat
of the more practical production
of fabrics today. The natives
practice blackstrap loom to create
blankets and pieces of clothing.
JEWELRY
MAKING
Jewelry making is
another demonstration of
the skilled craftsmanship
of Filipinos that dates
back during the pre-
colonial period. This is
evident in the pictures of
our great ancestors in our
history. Even then, it is
presumed that jewelry
making in the country
already exists. The use of
gold or silver in the forms
of earrings, bracelets,
rings, brooches,
necklaces, tie pins,
pendants, and cuff links.
The Philippine architecture
adopted the modern western
architectural style while taking
into consideration of the
physical and socio-cultural
situation of the country. The
Philippine architecture was
characterized as simple,
rational, and functional in the
early 20th century of the young
Filipinos who studied in
American universities and
institutes were back to the
country and brought changes
in the Philippine architecture.
Among them were: Juan
Arellano, Carlos Barreto, and
Antonio Toledo. And one of the
structures built during this
period was the Metropolitan
Theater.

Metropolitan Theater,
Manila, Philippines
The “tsalet” is a
type of house
developed in the
early 20th century
designed with a
front porch made
of wood and
concrete. During
this time, steel
was used in
buildings as
protection for
calamities like
earthquake.
During the Marcos era,
there had been
construction of
expressways,
convention centers,
hospitals, hotels,
malls, high-rise
buildings, amusement
centers, etc. All these
comes with
technological
advancements like
escalators, elevators,
air-conditioning
systems, computers,
etc.
In the regional set up,
residential houses,
churches, public markets,
business space tend to
imitate the architectural
styles in the urban. Also,
eco-cultural tourism was
introduced. Theme parks
and resorts were developed
in tourist spots like
Palawan, Davao, Bohol,
Batangas, etc. Given
cultural heritage
preservation, heritage
towns like Vigan,
Intramuros, Dapitan, etc.

Literature is any body or
collection of written work.
More restrictively, literature
refers to writing considered
to be an art form or any
single writing deemed to have
artistic or intellectual value,
and sometimes deploys
language in ways that differ
from ordinary usage.
Literature in the contemporary
period has oscillated between
personal expression and social
commentary. In vernacular
poetry, the two tendencies can
be seen at work.
“Bagay” is a form of poetry that
uses colloquial language and is
built on concrete images which
tend to describe tendencies.
The “Bagay” movement were
group of young poets that
emerged during the
contemporary period in the
publications of campus
journals. Poets Jose F. Lacaba,
Rolando Tinio, Bienvenido
Lumbera, Antonio Samsaon,
and Edmundo Martinez started
this the Bagay movement.
Valediction sa Hillcrest by Rolando S. Tinio was a poem about
a person having a dilemma to decide between two places,
Tondo and New York and how it affects his whole being.
Amado V. Hernandez introduced another
form of poetry inserting national
consciousness to bagay poetry through
his work “Ang Bayang Malaya.” The
poem “Ang Bayang Malaya” is a long
narrative piece about a peasant leader.
Oppression and fighting for human rights
are the main themes of this piece. In the
succeeding poems developed by Filipino
poets, the influence of Amado V.
Hernandez was evident. Social protest
and social realism became the theme of
the poems. Protest poetry proliferated.

AMADO V. HERNANDEZ
In the 21st century, a modern poetry from unknown writers use
tagalog language and become popular in the social media, it is
called “spoken word poetry.” Spoken word is a poetic
performance art that is word-based. It is an oral art that
focuses on the aesthetics of word play such as intonation and
voice inflection.

• During the early American period, the
music of the country is mostly classical
due to the influence of the European. It
was in the 1960 that avant-garde
music emerged into a combination of
classical, traditional or ethnic music.
As time goes by the introduction of
radio, film, and other entertainment
technology. The theatre music
gradually declined, however the
rondallas or the string band remain
even up to the present.
• Philippine music continuously
evolved, and Pinoy Pop or Filipino pop
music took place. Pinoy pop covers
different forms like jazz, dance hits,
folksong, revival, rock and roll, rap,
etc. With the development of Pinoy pop,
Manila sound was born. This music is
Western-derived with English lyrics
but with pure Filipino spirit.
• Later on the Original Pilipino Music
(OPM) became popular.
• The OPM was followed by
another form of popular music
called “alternative music”
influenced by folk balladeers.
This type of music sprouted out
of protest that later on included
themes like Filipino values,
political and environmental
concerns, and other societal
themes.
• Some examples of alternative
music are: Freddie Aguilar’s
“Anak,” Herbert Bautistas
“Tayo’y Mga Pinoy,” and
Florante De Leon’s “Ako ay
Pilipno.”
• In the establishment of
Cultural Center of the
Philippines (CCP) Filipino
music as well as Filipino
artists were given
importance. There were
provincial councils
established which preserve
the traditional music and
innovate Philippine music.
Indigenous music
continuously thrives and
spread in different localities.
Local composers
continuously create
vernacular songs.

• Moreover, local festivals

like the Las Pinas Bamboo
organ was established.
Theatre or theater is a collaborative
form of performing art that uses live
performers, typically actors or actresses,
to present the experience of a real or
imagined event before a live audience in
a specific place, often a stage.
The performers may
communicate this
experience to the audience
through combinations of
gesture, speech, song,
music, and dance.
Elements of art, such as
painted scenery and
stagecraft such as lighting
are used to enhance the
physicality, presence and
immediacy of the
experience.
Another presentational
style of stage plays
highlights discussion of
social ideas since
realistic portrayal is
prohibited during the
Marcos regime. This style
made use of dance, song,
and mime to summon the
ideas from the audience.
An example of this is the
“Theater of the
Oppression” by Augusto
Boal. The documentary
style followed which
tend to discuss historical
events “Mayo-A-Beinte
Uno” of Al Santos.
Philippine dance has played a
tremendous role in Filipino culture.
From one of the oldest dated
dances called the Tinikling, to
other folkloric dances such as the
Pandanggo, Cariñosa, and Subli,
and even to more modern-day
dances like the ballet, it is no doubt
that dance in the Philippine setting
has integrated itself in society over
the course of many years and is
significantly imbedded in culture.
Each of these dances originated in a
unique way and serve a certain
purpose, showcasing how diverse
Philippine dances are.
Tinikling is a traditional
Philippine folk dance which
originated during the
Spanish colonial era. The
dance involves two people
beating, tapping, and
sliding bamboo poles on
the ground and against
each other in coordination
with one or more dancers
who step over and in
between the poles in a
dance.
