Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world. Their art is dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional bounderies and defy easy definition. Strictly speaking, the term “contemporary art” refers to art made and produced by artists living today. Today’s artists work in and respond to a global environment that is culturally diverse, technologically advancing and multifaceted.

The term “visual arts” encompasses a wide range of forms created by Filipinos. It ranges from Western-influenced visual art forms to works 4created by folk and indigenous people.

Some of these forms include advertising art, basketry, metalcraft, mat weaving, pottery, and textile weaving. 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.

FORMS OF PAINTING: The easel painting is perhaps the most common form 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 on a wall after creating them. A mural is described as a huge wall-sized painting used to impart messages to the public.
