Lesson
Local Materials Used in
1 Contemporary Arts
Material, or the substance are the things in which the art is made off. Through these
materials, the artists express and communicate feelings and ideas. Some
contemporary artists used found materials like old bottles, scraps, and unusual
materials in creating their artwork.
In Sculpture, the sculptor uses metal, wood, stone, clay and glass.
The architect uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete and various building
materials.
The painter uses pigments (eg. watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink,
etc.) on a usually flat ground (wood, canvas, paper, stone wall such as in a cave
painting.
The printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a surface (wood, metal, plates, or
silk screen that is in keeping with a duplicating o reproducing process. While
paintings are unique and one of a kind, prints can be reproduced in several pre-
determined editions.
Musician uses sound and instruments (including the human voice) A T’boli chanter
sings creation stories in a way that is different from a classical singer or pop singer
influenced by the Western music scale.
The dancer uses body and its movements. Dance is often accompanied by music,
but there are dances that do not rely on musical accompaniment to be realized.
Dance can tell stories, but at other times, they convey abstract ideas that do not rely
on a narrative.
Theater artist integrates all the arts and uses stage, production design, performance
elements and script to enable the visual, musical, dance and other aspects to come
together as a whole work.
The photographer and film maker use the camera to record the outside world. The
film maker uses cinematographic camera to record and put together production
design, sound engineering, performance, and screenplay. In digital photography and
film, the images can be assimilated into the computer, thus eliminating the need for
celluloid or negatives, processing chemicals or print.
The writer of a novel, poetry, nonfiction and fiction uses words.

The Designer, the performance artist, and the installation artist combine use of
the range of different materials.

What I Need to Know
Why do each artist unique from other artists? It is because of the technique being
used or practiced by the artist. Technique is the individual signature that makes
each artist different or identifiable from other artists.
Medium and technique in contemporary art have become more and more integrated,
such that the works have crossed boundaries between art and science, and between
mediums and techniques. The works are also using contemporary mediums and
techniques based on digital and electronic technology, as well as reformulated
traditional methods.

1. research on techniques and performance practices applied to contemporary
art;
2. identify the different techniques used in contemporary art.

What I Know
Activity 1
Study and analyze the two pictures by answering the guide questions.
Guide Questions:
1. What materials was used in each artwork?
2. Describe how the artwork was made.

Lesson Traditional Technique used
1 in Philippine Contemporary
Art
What is Technique?
Technique is the manner in which artist use and manipulate materials to achieve
the desired formal effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning,
according to his or her personal style (modern, Neoclassic, etc.)
The distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique. For
example, stone is chiseled, wood is carved; clay is modeled and shaped, metal is cast,
and thread is woven.
There are some places in the Philippines that became famous because of the unusual
or extraordinary products that they make. These products become their way for the
people to know about their places. These people used traditional technique in
creating a particular art that makes them famous.
Traditional techniques used by the Filipinos even from the past years are depicted in
our painting, sculpture, dance, architecture, music, and even textile. It only proves
that Filipinos like any other people in the world can be very proud of our Philippine
arts
Traditional Techniques Used in Philippine Arts

Wood Carving – a technique encompassing any form of working wood with a tool
into some sort of aesthetic object.
3
Molding – a technique of shaping liquid or pliable material such as clay. Traditional
pottery making in the Philippines involves the method of molding. Pottery making in
the Philippines is one of the longest traditions in Philippine art.
Incised designs also appeared in the posts of Masbate. Among the finest of early Philippine pottery
designs are footed dishes that were decorated with geometric cut-outs, molding, cording or finger
impressions, most of these were made in Batangas. Pottery traditions continued to develop in certain
locals, such as Burnay, unglazed clay pottery of Vigan.
Fabric Weaving - Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets
of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.
Textile hand-weaving is one of the most attractive and interesting traditional crafts
of the Philippines, imbued with romanticism and laden with cultural significance
The Ilocano still practice hand-weaving using the pedal loom. Their materials are
cotton and natural dyes, although now they use store-bought threads and synthetic
dyes. They know several weaving techniques and designs, passed down to many
generations.
“Abel” or “inabel” is a fabric customarily made of cotton fiber turned into spools of
beeswax-brushed yarn & woven in a handloom
4
Textiles in Mindanao are predominantly handwoven from abaca (musa textilis).
Among the Moslems of Mindanao, the Magindanaon, Maranaw and Yakan continue
the tradition of cotton and silk weaving.
T’nalak is a sacred cloth woven by the T'boli people in communities around Lake
Sebu, Mindanao island.
Basketry Technique - There are four different types of basketry methods: coiling,
plaiting, wickering, and twining. Some of the terms that are specific to basket
weaving include loops, twining, ribs, and spokes. The common raw materials used
in making baskets are rattan, abaca, nito, tikog, buri, bamboo, pandan, coconut
leaves and sticks, palm leaves, and beeswax. There are several baskets that use
combined raw materials.
5
Coiled basketry, using grasses, rushes and pine needles
Plaiting technique - interweaving or braiding two or more strands, fibers, etc.
Twining technique, using materials from roots and tree bark. This is a weaving
technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each other
as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.

Lesson
Contemporary Materials and
1 Techniques Used in Art
Contemporary art is often looked at with a skeptical eye. The truth about
contemporary artis 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 is 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.

What is It
As an artist, the contemporary art techniques and performance practices are

just breaking the conservative's rules.
"Contemporary art is the art of today", that could be the best definition. This
kind of art produced by artists who are living in 21st century.
Here are three techniques that are among the most relevant in contemporary
art today
1. MINIMALISM
One of the artistic movements that has been most relevant throughout the
contemporary art movement is minimalism. Minimalism seeks to take away what is
unnecessary and leaving only what is essential.
Red Sky, 2007 5 Bottles, 1994

Arturo Luz Arturo Luz
Arturo Luz is a Filipino modern artist best known for his minimalist,
geometric, and abstract styles of art and his animated paintings of circus
performers and musicians as well as his revered cityscape series

2. FOUND OBJECTS
Taking something that people view as useless, and then using it in a unique
way to make artwork is one of the most important movements that currently exist in
contemporary. The idea is that things that we often view as junk are 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 are looking for when we attend an art
exhibition.
Small PaddleFish by Stephen Palmer
The technique of putting different objects together to create three-dimensional

art is called Assemblage. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium.

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 is incredible. Creating something
huge to express diverse perspectives in artwork is incredibly popular, even today.
Over the past forty years, largescale art, and art that includes the environment has
come into its own as one of the most important movements within contemporary art.
That is why you often see modern art pieces alongside buildings, or as huge
structures out in the open.

elements using precise measurements. Credits: Museum Associates/LACMA
