evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional object to give an illusion of depth.
Space

that object or subject. An illusion of space can still be created in a two-dimensional surface using
perspective. There are two types of perspective: atmospheric perspective, which utilizes the
properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance; and linear perspective, which involves
the use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines.

Contemporary art generally refers to art being created now. Contemporary is derived from the Latin
prefix con, which means “together” or “with”, plus tempus, which means “time”. The chronological
view defines contemporary art as related to this current period in art history, and refers to art that is
new, recent, modern, or pertains to the present moment. The historical usage, meanwhile, regards
contemporary art as a specific stage in the story of the evolution of art, referring to a specific
location in space and time.
Contemporary art emerged in the Philippines in reaction to social and cultural realities during
the 1970’s which is an era of repression and censorship of artistic expressions. Philippine art
became a means to oppose the regime, and the political art of social realism flourished at this
time. Socio realism is an art movement which sought to expose the real condition of Philippine
society and used art to transform it. Progressive art developed a culture that would convey the
authentic aspirations of the Filipino people. The end of Martial Law in the wake of EDSA People
Power Revolution in 1986 brought the Philippines into the contemporary period, and the art
produced in this period is regarded as contemporary art.
Contemporary art can be seen as a transgression of established norm and rules. Established art
forms are scrutinized and contemporary art reworks them to see them with fresh eyes. Contemporary
art is ruled by the cult of the new, endeavoring to create works of art that are “radical” and
“interdisciplinary”.

commercialization of creative contents which are tangible and cultural in nature.

chapter may also be applied in your own artwork Materials Used in Contemporary Art 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 and others.
Contemporary art is often looked at with a skeptical eye. The truth about contemporary art is
that it uses techniques that most people aren’t quite used to, causing that skepticism to come into play.
However, these techniques are actually quite difficult and all deserve our credit. It’s an incredible feat
to create a piece of contemporary art, especially using these techniques. They challenge the mind and
offer unique perspectives in a way that art has never been able to do before. For that reason, they’re
some of the most valuable techniques that a person can experience through artwork. Here are three
techniques that are among the most relevant in contemporary art today.
|Page
1. MINIMALISM
It is relating to a style in art,design,and theter that uses the smallest range of materials and
colors possible,and only very simple shapes in form.
One of the artistic movements that has been most relevant throughout the contemporary art
movement is minimalism. Minimalism seeks to take away what’s unnecessary and leaving only
what’s essential. Minimalism is incredibly difficult and has even made its way into being a huge part
of branding and design for companies all over the world. This is probably the most important part of
contemporary art, as it has informed so much of society.
2. FOUND OBJECTS
Taking something that people view as useless, and then using it in a unique way in order to
make artwork is one of the most important movements that currently exist in contemporary artwork.
The idea is that things that we often view as junk are actually more valuable than we think that they
are. Everything you find can be used to tell a story, or to create new diverse perspectives that we’re
looking for when we attend an art exhibition. The found objects movement is one of the most
important movements in all of contemporary art currently.
3. LARGE-SCALE ART
Walter De Maria created an art piece in 1977 that included a four hundred steel poles over
one mile by one kilometer. That’s incredible. Creating something huge to express diverse perspectives
in artwork is incredibly popular, even today. Over the past forty years, large scale art, and art that
includes the environment has come into its own as one of the most important movements within
contemporary art. That’s why you often see modern art pieces alongside buildings, or as huge
structures out in the open.
*With every new age of art, there are new unique techniques that define how the movement
develops. For contemporary art, among many techniques, you can find techniques such as
minimalism, found objects, and large scale paintings. Each of these bring their own unique
perspective into the artistic community, and each is valued as a pick for a technique that is most
influential in contemporary art.
“Singkaban,” Filipino word for decorated bamboo arch, is used as a welcome signage of a town,
city or village in the country. It is widely used as decoration during town fiestas in Bulacan. In the
celebration, Singkaban also refers to “Sining at Kalinangan ng Bulacan”
2.
Another dying folk art, Puni or palm leaf folding was intended to create artful toys for kids.
However, puni can also be used to create woven baskets, bags and even fans! The most common
|Page
permutation of Puni art is the palaspas we see every Holy Week. Because of the abundance of
coconut leaves, the Pinoys have ingeniously created toys and other items through Puni. Although
fresh coconut or palm leaves are most commonly used, the leaves dry and crumble within a few
days. It is now more common to use leaves that are dried, treated and dyed for strength and color.
2.Taka (Laguna)
The art of “taka” or “taka-making” is not an exclusive Pinoy art. Paper mache and deco
paging have been around for centuries. In the Philippines, the first recorded or mention of a created
taka was by a woman named Maria Bague in the 1920’s. She has wooden moulds that were covered in
strips of paper dipped in a sticky paste. She would later paint them colorfully and presented them as
children’s toys. Due to a fire though, none of the original takas were saved. Taka making became
more popular during the American colonization period when there was an excess of newsprint. And
because Pinoys hate wasting anything, the people of Paete decided to create more takas and even
diversified into different animals and not just the traditional red horse.
They create artworks from wood, wire, thread, rattan, metal and leaves. The real artists sees the
beauty even from the peeling of garlic and corn.

museums and galleries.Public spaces are now
considered by contemporary artists in the
display and installation of their artworks.
