Module 1 CONTEMPORARY ARTS IN THE REGION [Week 1-2]

Lesson 1:Forms of Arts


Art is an imitation of life and the world rendered beautifully, which gives pleasure.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle may have provided the earliest assumptions of art as linked
to human instincts. In his poetics. Aristotle claimed that humans have instincts for imitation and
harmony. He described that these instincts are lying deep in our nature. He argued that human beings
are the most imitative of living creatures and through imitation, humans learn and experience
pleasure. Art, then, may be defined as a human pursuit to imitate life and the world into something
pleasing or beautiful.

Here are the forms of artistic expression that humans have been able to produce.
1. Picture (drawing, Painting, Print making, and photography) This is two dimensional image of
various subjects ranging from real life images to the visually abstract. It may be created using
different media such as chalk, charcoal, graphite, ink, oil paint, and watercolor.
2. Sculpture-This is a three dimensional artwork that may be created using stone, marble. Wood and
concrete.
3. Architecture-These are structures that meant are to be used as shelter. The art of architecture relies
on the design and purpose of the structure.
4. Music-This is the art form that appeals to the sense of hearing. Music is composed by combining
notes into harmony.
5. Literature-This is the art form of language through the combined use of words, creating meaning
and experience.
6. Theatre-This is the art form of performance. Dramatic texts are portrayed on stage by actors and
actresses and are enhanced by props, lights, and sounds.
7. Cinema-This art form is a technological translation of theatre. In films, special effects are utilized
to enhance the story telling.
8. Dance-This is the art of the human form. The body is used, mobilized, and choreographed in a
specific time, form, and space.

Elements of Arts
Art is a tangible output of creative expression. It is represented through its different forms
and disciplines such as literature, culinary arts,media arts,visual arts, and performing arts.
This lesson will be concentrating on the various forms of arts.

In order to understand how to describe a painting or a sculpture, it is important to comprehend


first the visual elements of art. These visual elements of art are line, color, shape, space, value,
texture, time and motion.

Line
This refers to a prolongation of a point or a mark on a surface. Solid
lines can be used in order to define form while broken lines are typically used
to suggest hidden forms.

Shape and Mass


This element refers to an area with boundaries identified or drawing lines. A
shape may be natural or living forms called an organic shape and can be
irregular or rounded. It. may also be measured forms called geometric shape.
In contrast to shape which is two-dimensional, mass refers to solid portions
of a three-dimensional object.
2|Page
Color
This refers to visual perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way
various wavelengths of light are reflected. Color is a very important element because it can
communicate information and emotion to the viewer. These are the three properties of color:
• Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in the color wheel.
• Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color. A light color or tint is the result of
adding white to a hue, while a dark color or shade results from adding black to a hue.
• Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of color. It is also referred to as purity of
the color. A bright color can be produced by adding more pigment to the same hue, while a
dull color can be produced by adding gray or the color’s complement to the pigment.

Texture
This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface a
person may describe as actual or implied. Actual texture can be
felt tangibly based on the material that is used for the artwork
while implied texture can be exhibited, for instance, in a painting
of fur of an. animal.

Value
This element refers to lightness or darkness of an area. This is
evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional object to give an illusion of depth.

Space
Space refers to the area that is occupied by an object or a subject, as well as the area surrounding
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.

Time and Motion


Movement in the visual arts can either be an illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of
movement is more common in two-dimensional artworks. On the other hand, actual motion is easily
seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind or are vibrating with the surrounding air.

Lesson 2: Visual Arts: Painting
Painting refers to the process of applying color on a flat surface.
Forms can be created using a wide variety of materials such as
watercolor, acrylic, ink, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Surfaces for
painting include wood, canvas, cardboard, and paper.

and width.

FORMS OF PAINTING:

which involves applying color to a board or canvas that is fixed on an
upright support called an easel. These are meant to.be framed and hanged

2. Murals

A mural is described as a huge wall-sized painting used.to impart


messages to the public. A new form of mural which is a portable mural,
was developed in order to prevent the mural from being erased from the
wall which was created.by using bold strokes in applying bright colors on
pieces of cheesecloth\or canvas.

3. Telon Painting

A telon is described as a backdrop or background for the stage which


are used for komedya, sarswela, and sinakulo which are the popular forms
of theatre in the country.

4. Jeepney and Calesa Painting

The calesa is typically painted using one color. The borders of the
calesa are decorated with geometric patterns, repetitive patterns, and/or
thin lines. Jeepney painting evolved from calesa painting. In a typical
jeepney, a logo, number, or painting is covered near the driver’s seat, as
well as near the seats adjacent to it.

5. Collage

This refers to a form of painting that involves combine images in a


single artwork. This entails cutting and pasting materials such as paper,
fabric, tin foil and other relatively flat materials onto a board or canvas.

THEMES OF PAINTING:
Genre Painting

contemporary period, genre painting took several directions. One of these
new approaches is folk genre, which mainly focuses on the everyday
activities of the folk. Another approach is using the style of cubism in

Module 2 CONTEMPORARY ARTS IN THE REGION [Weeks 3-4]

Lesson 1: What is Philippine Contemporary Arts?

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 as a Breaking of Norms

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”.

Appropriation is an important preoccupation in contemporary art which is the practice of creating


a new work by taking a pre-existing image or from another context and combining the borrowed
image with new ones.
Contemporary art and Local Heritage
Contemporary art professes an awareness of local heritage which is something that can be
passed from one generation to the next, can be conserved or inherited, and has historic or cultural
value. These are physical objects, places of heritage and the various practices of heritage unique to the
region or locality that are conserved or handed down from one generation to the next.

FUNCTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART:

1. Contemporary art for Pleasure


A visual delight in the work of art can take many forms including an appreciation of
beauty or decoration, or delight in an element of surprise. Most cultures that have a definition

|Page
of beautiful, define it as something pleasing to the eye, and often resembling an ideal of some
sort.
2. Contemporary art as Profession
Artists earn a living through their art since art and ideas are never free. They possess
value in the complex web of the creative industries that combine the creation, production and
commercialization of creative contents which are tangible and cultural in nature.

3. Contemporary art as Commentary


Art has been used to answer our need for information. Artists who fulfill our need for
commentary often speak in a language easy to understand, they view art as primary goal to
communication by means of subject matter.

4. Contemporary art in Spirituality


Artists may create art to express spiritual beliefs about the destiny of life controlled
by the force of a higher power.

5. Contemporary art as Remembrance


Art can be a remembrance which is something done as an aid to memory. We need to
commemorate important events and people that have shaped our history and show reverence
for those who have gone before us.

6. Contemporary art as Self-expression


Art fulfills an expressive function when an artist conveys information about his or her
personality, feelings or worldview.

Lesson 2: Appropriate techniques in creating arts.

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 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.

What techniques are used to make Creative artwork?

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.

Some examples of this techniques are as follows:

1. Singkaban or Bamboo Art (Bulacan)

“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.

Puni or Palm Leaf Folding

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.

2. Sanikulas Cookie Mold Cravings

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.

Module 5 CONTEMPORARY ARTS IN THE REGION [Weeks 9-10]

Lesson 1: Contemporary arts practices and production

a. communicative ways such as drama,creative writing and many more.
b. creation of creative ideas into a reality.
c. vocal and instrumental practices.
d. intensive practice of body movements and routines

Traditional art is an active part of the society as it represents and mediates social conditions
with human aspirations. According to Michelle Watts,an art educator,the following are
characteristics of contemporary art practices:

1. Changes to accepted tradition and accepted taste


Contemporary arts try to challenge age-old practices that hinder personal growth and
development. For contemporary artists,arts should not be bound by the traditional approaches in the
creation of art.Many visual artists are now
expanding their expression by using mixed
media from unlikely materials.Contemporary
artists are also not afraid to create art that goes
against personal beliefs and public taste.

This image is one of the facebook temed


paintings by Pawel Kuczynski,a Polish artist who
tries to interrogate the way people use and are
used by socail media.

2. Understanding of a multiplicity of Viewpoints

Contemporary arts bridge the gap of


geography,ethnicity,gender,and beliefs.Contemporary
artists are conscious of the diverse,multicultural nature
of today’s global society.The artworks that they create
are not anymore ignorant of the complexities of
history,politics,and economics.Artist are becoming
more exposed to the interconnection of people and
realities,and these become part of their work.

This is an installation arts by Armando Marino


La Patera.It shows how capitalists and former colonial
powers derive their wealth and power from slavery.

3. Issues and Ideas about the Roe of Objects in Space and Relationships and between objects
|Page
Contemporary art works with existing objects
or structures to maintain balance and
harmony.Space has become an integral part of
the contemporary artist’s practice.No longer
are contemporary artworks limited to
museums and galleries.Public spaces are now
considered by contemporary artists in the
display and installation of their artworks.

The melted ice cream truck installation art by


the Glue Society appropriately shows how the
environment changes objects.

4. Use of Everyday Materials

Contemporary arts transform simple


objects and brings them to life. Everyday
objects such as furniture,car parts,electronics
and kitchen appliances are being transformed
by contemporary artist into beautiful
artworks.Recycle arts has become a trend for
contemporary artist.The mass array of
materials from disposals gives artist room for
wild imagination.

Bottles have beeen used to create the Wat Pa


Maha Chedio Kaew temple in Thailand
UK artist Kyle Bean used eggshells to create
the sculpture of hen.

5. Employment of Contemporary Technology

Contemporary art makes use of


available technology in the process of
creating an artwork. Technology has
revolutionized the way the contemporary
artists produce arts.The process involved in
some art productions has become less
tedious.An independent filmmaker can now
shoot a film using a powerful camera
phone.Musicians can now compose music
using tablet computers.

The “King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Presley was projected


as the hologram in a performance with Celine Dion.
|Page
Artist in the 21st century have many means of creating art.With a multitude of available
materials and with the aid of modern technological advances,artist engage themselves in various
artistic activities and endeavors.If sculptors during ancient times were limited with the chisel and
hammer,modern sculptures computer-guided saws to create precise cuts on various
materials.Composers now use specialized software in creating music.Writers can now self-publish
electronics books of their works.

Today’s contemporary artists integrate other art forms or media in their work.Visual artist may not
only engage in painting but also in 3D animation or web design.Musicians are now heavily involved
in film scoring or theatrical sound effects..Creative writers are advancing careers in professional
editing and translation work.The contemporary artist of today is becoming more enterprising that
ever.

Big Idea:The technology of the 21st century provides endless resources in the creation of art.

If you want to experience art,you can now access it anywhere and anytime,as long as you
have access to the World Wide Web.The works of painters,sculptors,and architects are available
online for appreciation and study. Music and performance videos are now uploaded on video sites for
personal viewing and enjoyment.Contemporary artist and their art are now more accessible and
available.You don’t need to go to a museum or a concert to experience art.

Essential Learning
Contemporary art practices and production have changed in recent years.Contemporary artists
are more adept to changes in accepted tradition and taste.They have more understanding of a
multiplicity of viewpoints.The artworks they produce respond to issues and ideas about objects in
space and the relationship between objects.They also incorporate the use of everyday materials and
employ contemporary technology in their work.
