Lesson
Contemporary Art Forms and
1 Practices from the Regions
Hello, students! Welcome to this school year. I am so excited to impart knowledge this term
and assist you in achieving your educational goals. I truly look forward to our class and
getting to know each of you. Welcome to Module 1!

Contemporary art is essential to you not only because it belongs to your time, but it also
serves as a form of expression of the people’s present feelings and longings.
Contemporary works of art are the means through which the artists of today communicate
their sentiments.

 What’s In

Imagine that you are riding a time machine that brings you back to the past-ten years ago.

You look at yourself, and you notice that have also turned ten years younger!

Now you look around and study your surroundings.

You find yourself in the center of your hometown. What do you see aside from the people?

Walk around and examine the scenery.

Is there a commercial center? a plaza?

Are there houses, schools or churches?

What type of buildings do you see? Are there any monuments or statues around? Drawings
and posters?

You move on, and soon enough, you stop at a store where people are watching a dance
routine in a television program. What kind of music do you hear from the program? What
type of dance movements do you see? What are the dancers wearing?

Try to recall in detail the sights and sounds in your hometown existing ten years ago. If you
do not have a vivid memory of your hometown, you can interview your parents, guardians, or
other residents of your town about how it was ten years ago. Then, provide answers to the
following:

What is It

In order to understand more about the topic, you are going to read and comprehend the
discussions presented in this portion. What is contemporary art for you? How do you
compare and contrast contemporary art and that of the modern art? What are the subject
and elements of art? What are some forms of art in various regions in the Philippines? Let’s
find out!

Contemporary Art Defined

Contemporary art is the art that springs out of the present-day events and passions of the
society. It is the newest form of art, amusing people from the middle to the late 20th century
up to this very minute.

Authorities in the arts place the emergence of contemporary art sometime during the start of
postmodernism in the west, around the late 1970s. This was the time when artists reacted to
the previous art called modernism, whose idea of using a pure, simplified, and a streamlined
form and style was fundamental in creating something new at that time. This gave birth to
the idea that “less is more.”

Contemporary Art vs. Modern Art

In grade 10, you have come across the different art forms of the Modern Era. You have
learned about the movements, the artist and the other by-products of the late 1800s up to
the mid-20th century.

Perhaps the main distinction between modern art and contemporary art is the time period in
which they have existed. Modern art emerged in the late 1800s and continued to grow for
more or less a century. It slowly waned in the middle to late 20th century when
postmodernism came to light. Postmodernism then give birth to what we know now as
contemporary art. This art exists up to this day, and no one knows when a new period will
arrive to veil contemporary art in its shadow.

13
The Subject and Elements of Art

The Subject of Art

To create your own contemporary piece, you must fully understand what makes an
artwork a true work of art. You must first explore the subject of art.

In visual design, there are different ways or styles of depicting a subject. Get to know
these styles through the works of art of various Filipino contemporary artist

1. Realism
The first style is realism in which the subject is done the way it actually looks.
An example of this is the painting of Araceli Dans, the Bridal White.
2. Distortion
The artist uses his or her imagination and alters the subject according to his
or her desire. A stylized work is a form of distortion like Norma Belleza’s
painting, the Fiesta.
3. Abstraction
The artist breaks a part a subject and rearranges it in a different manner.
The paintings of the National Artist Vicente Manansala belong to this
category.
4. Non Objectivism
In here, there is no subject at all-just an interplay of pure elements, like line,
shape or color, and so on. A good example of this is the painting of Roberto
Chabet which is on Acrylic paper.

Elements of Art

Art forms in the different regions vary in subject, theme, style, medium, and
technique. However as you have learned in Grade 7, there are certain
characteristics that are common to all. The following are the elements of art:

1. Space
 Space in visual arts can be defined as a void, an emptiness which can
either be positive or negative.
 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.

14
2. Line
 Line is the extension of a point, a short or long mark drawn or carved
on a surface.
 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.

3. Shape and Form

 When the ends of a line meet, they form a shape. It can also be
described as a figure separate from its surrounding area or
background.
 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.

4. Color
 Probably the most striking art element that catches the eye is color. It
is a sensation created by visible wavelengths of light caught in a
prism.
 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

15
  The color wheel is an arrangement of primary, secondary and
tertiary colors. It is important tool to identify which colors can
work well if used in a certain artwork which is the color schemes
or color relationships. These are some of the color schemes:

5. Value
 In visual arts, value is the degree of lightness and darkness of a color.
6. Texture
 Texture is the surface of an artwork. A texture can be actual or tactile,
meaning, it can really be felt by touch, or it can be simulated or
illusory, which mean it can only be seen, not felt.
 This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface. 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.

7. 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.

16
Philippine Art Forms in Modern and Contemporary Era in Various Regions

Artistic works produced in the period beginning in the 1860s and ended in the 1970s. On this
module let us describe the two forms of arts in the Philippines, the dance and the painting.

Philippine Arts in Modern Era

 It has evolved into a wide variety of expressions and medium turning the country into
a situation of creative upheavals
 Modern Filipino Artists have more freedom to explore on his own.
 Their style is from cross-cultural exposures in the Eastern and Western world yet
they have not forgotten their Filipino roots.
 Many of them use color for their emotional rather than intellectual values.

Contemporary Era
 It follows modern art, beginning from 1970s to now and ongoing.
 Contemporary artworks use a variety of materials and techniques, including new
technologies such as computers, three-dimensional, live elements and
performances, etc.

Example of Contemporary Art in Some Regions in the Philippines

I. Dance
 A performing art that involves rhythmic body movement within a given space,
choreographed based on musical beat. Performed either in front of an audience or by
everyone on a dance floor.

Elements of Dance

1. Theme – most basic element of a dance. It conveys the message of a dance.

2. Design – pattern of movement in time and space.
3. Movement – the bodily actions of the dancer that include his steps
4. Technique – the skill of movement executed by the dancer
5. Music – the auditory background to which a dancer moves
6. Costume & body paraphernalia – properties worn by the dancer that help reflect the
message, customs and beliefs
7. Choreography – the figures and steps in dancing that enable the dancers to perform
in an organized manner
8. Scenery – the background or setting where the dance is performed to make it more
realistic and enriching

Some Examples of Contemporary (Folk/Ethnic) Dance in Mindanao

A. Pangalay: A Tausug Dance

Pangalay is a traditional Tausug dance, from Jolo and Tawi-Tawi, characterized by elaborate
body postures and gestures and the graceful arm and hand movement of the dancer,
amplified by the use of janggay or metal claws. The dance is performed to the music of the
kulintangan, gandang, agong and gabang. Commonly referred to as the fingernail dance,
Pangalay is usually performed during weddings and other festive celebrations.

17
 Kulintang/Kulintangan

Refers to a racked gong chime

instrument played in the southern
islands of the Philippines, along with
its varied accompanying ensembles.
The Kulintang

Pangalay is a living link to the traditional dance cultures of Asia with closest affinity to the
Indian, Javanese, Thai, Burmese and Cambodian styles of classical dancing.

Pangalay is basically pure dancing. A sense of anti-linear time pervades the slow, refined,
meditative, elegant and almost hypnotic movements. The dancer’s serious face with
downcast eyes creates a mask-like expression, matched by a countenance generally
refined, dignified but without stiffness.

Postures and gestures suggest emotional metaphors and symbols that offer a broad range
of expression. For instance: outstretched palms and arms can stand for salutation, welcome
or joy; or, as a symbol of things in nature such as a palm leaf, flowers, sea waves, the wind,
sea weeds, a bird and a flutter of wings.

The Pangalay Courtship is one of the

versions of the dance wherein a pair of
dancers imitate the graceful courtship
dance of birds. During wedding
performances, it is a tradition that
guests would tuck money between the
fingers of the female dancer.

Pangalay Courtship Dance

Pangalay has a number of versions including the

Pangalay with money tucked on hand
by audience.
Pangalay Linggisan, which is performed by a solo
female dancer imitating the movement of a bird in
flight. According to Mr. Rapih Jairi, Director of the
Ingat Kapandayan Performing Arts of the Notre
Dame of Jolo College, the Pangalay performed in
Sulu is characterized by the graceful movement of
the dancer's arms and hands flowing in synchrony
the gentle blowing of the wind. While in other parts of
the Sulu Archipelago, including Tawi-Tawi and
Sabah, the movements of the arms and hands are
more pronounced as they are imitating the waves of
the Sulu Sea.

Pangalay Linggisan (Wind Dance/Bird Dance

18
 The Pangalay ha Patung is characterized
by two men carrying two bamboo poles
on their shoulders with a solo female
dancer keeping her balance on top of the
two bamboo poles. This version of
Pangalay paints a picture of a woman
dancing on a sail boat.

B. Singkil: A Maranao Dance

The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanao. It is
derived from a story in the Darangen, the Maranao interpretation of the ancient Indian epic,
the Ramayana. The name of the dance itself means "to entangle the feet with disturbing
objects such as vines or anything in your path". It is a popular dance performed during
celebrations and other festive entertainment. Originally only women, particularly royalty,
danced the Singkíl, which serves as either a conscious or unconscious advertisement to
potential suitors. A kulintang and agung ensemble always accompanies the dance. While
often erroneously referred to by non-Maranaos as a "Muslim dance", the Singkíl is in fact
secular in nature, performed by the Ummah communities of the Maranao and Maguindanao.
Initially, the dance was performed with just one pair of bamboo poles, eventually adopting
the use of two criss-crossing pairs.

19
 The Singkil Dance
Costume Used in Singkil

A Maranao costume is mainly worn in this form of

dancing. In addition, the female lead dancer wears an
elaborate dress of a princess and holds “decorated
fans” in both hands, while the male lead dancer holds
either handkerchiefs in both hands and in some cases
a sword and a shield.

The Singkil Costume

II. Painting

 Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a

solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support").The medium is commonly applied
to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and
airbrushes, can be used.
 In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action (the
final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces
as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete,
and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay,
paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects.
 Among the famous artist in the field of painting is Fernando Amorsolo. Below is
one of his paintings.

Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972) was a

dominant figure in the visual arts of the
Philippines during the decades before the
Second World War and into the post-war
period. The ‘Planting Rice with Mayon
Volcano, Exhibits the happiness across
from the difficulties in planting rice. The
Filipino Villagers in their bright clothes
and straw hats plant together with a
