Let’s explore!

performing arts. Fine arts direct on contemporary painting, sculpture and
architecture. Visual arts focus on installation art as New Media Art; Public Art,
the art in outdoor space; Mixed media, which combines different art forms;
Photography and Digital Works, the technology-aided art.
Performing Arts tackles the art of Theatre and Performance arts, Dance and
Music.
It is the most popular among fine arts but it is also very hard to distinguish
when a painting is contemporary? Aside from the fact that the artist must still alive at
present, it is also through artwork that we can tell that it is contemporary; it must
connect itself to the issues and concerns of the society, then it is contemporary. It
comes in different types in genre and in material:
Most familiar art forms among Filipinos from carving to molding of gods and
heroes for a long time, but at present, through availability of varied materials and
medium, technology and technique, it gives freedom to sculptor to be more flexible
and expressive in making their art work. Sculptural processes require artist’s
6
physical strength and creativity in the use of materials such as: stone, wood, metal,
wax, terracotta or clay and resin. Sculptors use four basic techniques:
1. Molding is an additive process where in material like clay is added to form the
desired sculpture.
2. Carving is a subtractive process in which materials like wood, marble, stone
or other hard material is removed or carved by cutting or chipping away to
form an image. Glass sculpture is viewed to be unique and popular in the
country. Ramon Orlina is now known as the “Father of Philippine Glass
Sculpture”.
3. Casting is a technique used to make the sculpture more durable and
transferrable from one place to another without any breaking. It is made to last
through material like resin, a liquid material that is usually poured out to form
a smooth hard surface when dried, that is used as coating for holding of
sculpture.
4. Assembling is the easiest yet very creative technique where in different
materials (found, recycled, indigenous, etc.) gather together to form a
sculpture. It is an additive process that uses adhesive or any material used for
adhesion to put together all materials to form a sculpture.
