TECHNIQUES AND PERFORMANCES

??
There are new techniques that define an art movement. For contemporary arts, the following are a few of these techniques:
1. MINIMALISM One of the most important and influential art styles of the
1960s, Minimalism identifies works of art most often
com;’Cprised of geometric shapes in simple
arrangements and lacking any decorative or dynamic
flourishes. These geometric shapes characterized the
elemental or “bare bones” forms of art, which, according
to critics, represented the culmination of modern art's
progression toward the most simplified form of abstract
art possible.

2. CUBISM It was a truly revolutionary style of modern art

developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques. It
was the first style of abstract art which evolved at the
beginning of the 20th century in response to a world
that was changing with unprecedented speed. Cubism
was an attempt by artists to revitalize the tired
 traditions of Western art which they believed had run
their course.
3. SOCIAL REALISM It is the realistic depiction in art of contemporary life,
as a means of social or political comment.

They originate from the French objet trouve,

describing art created from undisguised, but often
4. FOUND OBJECTS
modified, objects or products that are not normally
considered materials from which art is made, often
because they already have a non-art function.
In modern art, the term "found object" is used to
describe an object, found by an artist, which - with
minimal modification - is then presented as a work of
art.
5. LARGE SCALE ART Artists have produced works that play with scale. Juan
Luna’s Spoliarium displayed in the National Museum
is an example.

6.DIGITAL It comes with augmented reality technology and

APPLICATION transforms Filipino digital artworks into immersive
experiences.

LOCAL MATERIALS USED IN CREATING ART

Local materials in the Philippines are materials that are naturally and locally found in a specific places. Here are some
examples:

DIFFERENT CONTEMPORARY ART TECHNIQUES AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICES

1.COLLAGE – Is made by adhering

flat elements such as newspaper or
magazine cut-outs, printed text,
illustrations, photographs, cloth, string,
etc. to a flat surface to create a thick
layer that is almost like a relief
sculpture.
 2.DECALCOMANIA – Is the process
of applying gouache to paper or
glass then transferring a reversal of
that image on to canvas or other flat
materials.

3.DECOUPAGE – Is done by adhering

cut-outs of paper and then coating
these with one or more coats or
transparent coating of varnish.
