CONTEMPORARY

PHILIPPINE ART
Art is a tool for communication. Whether it is
a painting or a performance, as long as it is a
venue for one to convey or express thoughts,
emotions, or aspirations, it is considered art.
Every artwork reflects the artist and his/her
society. Art offers us the chance to learn and
understand artists and the regions where they
belong through their works.
Why do people create art?

Art is one of the earliest and most basic forms of

communication. This is seen in the prehistoric visual artworks
like the cave drawings and other early artifacts. This is also
evident in our folk songs ang rituals. The visual and performing
arts are ways for people to express themselves and share their
individual insights to others. Through these arts, they catch other
people’s attention, imagination, and admiration.
VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS
 
Art, as mentioned, is the tangible output of creative
expression. It is a product of human creativity and skill
to express oneself. 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 contemporary
visual and performing arts.
VISUAL
ARTS
VISUAL ARTS
 
 

Visual arts are a term used to describe a wide array of

artistic disciplines that are appreciated through sight.
Visual arts include the different art forms and
disciplines such as fine arts, decorative arts, and
contemporary arts.
1. FINE ARTS
 
 
Fine arts are the artworks we readily associate with art. The term
“fine arts” was first used to describe the art forms created
primarily for their appearance rather than their practical use. As
time passed, this term was used to include artworks that came
about from emerging technology and artistic innovations.
 
1. FINE ARTS
The following are the most common examples of fine arts:
 
- Drawing
- Painting
- Sculpture
- Print
- Graphic art
- Calligraphy
- Architecture
2. DECORATIVE ARTS
Decorative arts, also known as decorative crafts, are artworks
that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. While the fine
arts are primarily concerned with beauty and aesthetics, the
decorative arts are not only beautiful but are useful as well.
From the Renaissance up until the twentieth century, many
artists in the West consider the decorative arts as a lower version
of art. Makers of these artworks were not considered as artists
but rather as craftsmen. This attitude has gradually changed,
though there are still some who believe in the outdated
distinction.
2. DECORATIVE ARTS
There are a multitude of examples of decorative arts, most
common of which are:
 
- Textile art
- Glassware
- Jewelry
- Furniture
- Earthenware
- Metal craft
- Interior design
3. CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS

There are new and unusual art forms that could not be
easily categorized between the fine arts and the
decorative arts; these belong to the branch of visual arts
called contemporary art forms. Contemporary art forms
include recently conceived art styles and techniques
that are avant-garde or experiment in nature.
3. CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS
These partially include:
 
- Assemblage
- Collage
- Installation
- Performance art
- Digital art
- Land art
- Conceptual art
 3. CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS
• It should be emphasized that there is a difference between
contemporary art forms and contemporary art.
• Contemporary art is defined as all artworks that are produced in our
present lifetime. These artworks that are produced in our present
lifetime. These artworks can be expressed using the traditional art
forms such as paintings, sculptures, pottery, etc. or can be produced
using new art techniques such as installation, assemblage, etc.
• There are numerous and still-emerging forms of contemporary arts.
The list is continually expanding, with new art forms being invented
due to the development of technology.
PERFORMING
ARTS
PERFORMING ARTS

When artist use their voices and/or

their body movements to
communicate artistic expression, it is
considered an example of performing
arts. Performing arts come in many
kinds, but all are meant to be enacted
in front of a live audience.
THREE CATEGORIES
OF PERFORMING
ARTS
 1. MUSIC: GENRES

Art Music
Art music is the umbrella term used to refer to music that stems from Western
Classical music. It is usually presented and preserved through written musical
notations that were developed in Europe.
 
Popular Music

available to the public. It is played or disseminated through different mass media
outlets such as radios, televisions, and the Internet.
 
 1. MUSIC: GENRES

Traditional music are musical forms that are communally and culturally based. It
is diverse with one community or group often having a different form from
another. It is learned and preserved by passing it from one generation to another
through oral communication and actual performance.

movements. These movements have aesthetic value and are often

integration and combination of the visual and performing arts. It is
defined as a fine art where actors or actresses perform experiences,

Why do artists create art?

 As mentioned before, people create art primarily as a tool for

communication. But throughout history, we can see that artist
create art for reasons other than communication.
 RECOGNITION
•Some artists create art in hopes of gaining fame and fortune. Some artists use art
as their means of livelihood, as seen with many visual artists, musicians, and
television and movie stars. Some artists, due to their reputation and talent, have
become not just critically acclaimed but have earned financial success as well
such as Sharon Cuneta, Vilma Santos, and the late King of Comedy Dolphy.
•In the field of visual arts, Ronald Ventura made history when his painting
Grayground was sold in an auction at Sotheby’s Hong Kong for almost 47
million pesos in 2011. It set a new auction record at the time, beating the record
set a year before by fellow Filipino artist Geraldine Javier with her painting Ella
Amo’ Apasionadamente y Fue Correspondida.
•Sadly, many artists are not as fortunate and many struggle to make ends meet.
Their source of income depends on who patronizes their art.
 WORSHIP
• Not all artists create for personal recognition, some do it to glorify their
creator. This is evident in the many religious structures in the ancient world
such as the pyramids, Hindu temples, and the temples of the Greeks and
Romans. Song were also created for worship as evident in many medieval
hymns and in one of the oldest surviving music found in Syria dated around
1400 BCE, which is believed to be about the offerings of the goddess Nikkal.
Christian iconography is found in the majority of artsworks produced during
the Middle Ages up to the Modern period.
• One such contemporary artist is the late Joey Velasco (1967-2010). He was
well known for his rendition of Christian-themed artworks. One of the most
celebrated is the Hapag ng Pag-asa (2005), which is his version of the Last
Supper with street children depicted as the apostles.
 IMPULSE

Some artists create art because they are driven by impulse. It is their passion, and
nothing them happier than doing their chosen art. These artists consider art as life
and spend their time doing nothing but such. Such passion can be seen in National
Artist for Music Levi Celerio (1910-2002). Throughout his distinguished career.
Celerio is credited to have written over 4,000 songs. Some of which have become
timeless classics of Filipino music such as the Christmas songs “Pasko na
Naman” (1965) and “Ang Pasko ay Sumapit” (1933), enduring Filipino love
songs “Kahit Konting Pagtingin” and “Basta’t Mahal Kita”, and the lullaby “Sa
Ugoy ng Duyan” (1948).
SELF-EXPRESSION

Artists, without a doubt, create art for self-expression.

They express ideas and emotions that might not be
adequately conveyed through words. Each artwork is a
reflection of each individual artist’s personality and
experiences, making each artwork unique.
 SELF-EXPRESSION
According to Prof. Felipe M. De Leon Jr. a professor of art studies and
the former chair of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts
(NCCA), Filipino integral art has the following attributes:
 
• Art is ingrained with beauty and function. Art is not made for art’s
sake but is instead made with considerations with other factors such
as use, beliefs, ethics, social, spiritual, and environmental concerns.
• It is holistic in nature. A balance should be made between all the
other discipline to achieve the ultimate expression.
 SELF-EXPRESSION
• Art is part of our everyday life. It is not considered as a separate activity.
Art exists whenever there is human activity.
• Everybody is an artist, and everybody is given an equal chance to
contribute and participate.
• Freedom in the technique and the use of media gives flexibility and
opportunity to join in the artistic expression.
• Art makes use of the available resources; it should not be limited by
budget constraints.
• The creative process is given more importance rather than the finished
work. It is because more people are in participation during the process
rather than the finished work.
