CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE
ARTS FROM THE REGIONS
TECHNIQUES AND PERFORMANCE
PRACTICES

LET’S BEGIN!
▪ An inspiring day our dear classmates! Our module is an
exploration of various contemporary art techniques and
performance practices.Accumulating various wonderful art
forms will definitely give you the chance to appreciate the
artworks of the local artists and showcase their products.In
this module,you will excitedly attain the following objectives:
▪1. Identify the contemporary art techniques;
▪2. Appreciate the local materials in varied regions
▪3. Apply the different art techniques in their artworks

▪A reference to Contemporary Art
meaning “the art of today,” more
broadly includes artwork produced
during the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. It generally defines art
produced after the Modern Art
movement to the present day.
However, modern artwork is not
just art produced during a specific
time-frame. This genre of art does
have its own approach or style that
distinguishes it from others.

▪One of the benefits of
Contemporary Art is that
it allows individuals a means
of personal expression.
Through painting, sculpture,
and performance art, anyone
can express themselves in a
way that will be safely
observable for others.

DISCUSSION
▪Have you ever wondered how the artist
utilizes their materials and how they
apply the technique in their artwork?
▪This lesson will discuss
comprehensively the different mediums
and techniques used by the artist in
creating their masterpieces.

MEDIUM
▪Medium is defined as the
material, or the substance out of
which a work is made.Through
these materials, the artists
express and communicate
feelings and ideas.The medium
also defines the nature of the art
form as follows:

▪1. Sculpture uses metal, wood,
stone,clay, and glass.It is the
branch of the visual art that
operates in three-dimension
because it occupies space and has
a volume.One form of sculpture is
pottery and the notable examples
are Guillermo Tolentino's Oblation,
Bulul woodcarvings from the
Cordilleras and carvings of saints
in Christian churches by Santos.

▪(Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary &
Thesaurus).In relation to that, Philippine architecture
was characterized as simple,rational, and functional.
In the 20 ^ (th) century,9the young Filipino who
studied in American colleges and institutes
introduced the neoclassic style in building structures.
However,after World War II, real estate development
started to take place (Sandagan & Sayseng, 2016).To
illustrate these architectural designs,these are some
examples from Luzon,Visayas and Mindanao.

▪Painting the expression of ideas and emotions,with the
creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-
dimensional visual language.The elements of this
language - its shapes,lines,colors,tones, and textures
are used in various ways to produce sensations of
volume,space, movement,and light on a flat surface.
The first paintings here in the Philippines are
commissioned works during Spanish colonization.Here
are some paintings from Luzon,Visayas and Mindanao.

▪4. Printmaking uses ink normally on paper
but can also be used on woods, metal
plates, or silkscreens.Prints is classified
as two-dimensional because they include
the surface or ground on which coloring
substances are applied.However,while
paintings are unique, prints can be
reproduced in several pre-determined
editions.

CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE PRINTMAKING

▪5. Music uses sounds and instruments (including the human
voice),while the dancer uses the body.
▪Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds.
According to Ramon P.Santos in his article entitles
Contemporary Music,Contemporary music in the
Philippines usually refers to compositions that have
adopted ideas and elements from twentieth-century art
music in the West,as well as the latest trends and musical
styles in the entertainment industry.Filipino Music had
already a rich and unique musical tradition long before
westerners set foot on our native land. Music was present in
every stage of our ancestors' lives - from birth to death,in
blissful or tragic times.Below are some Music from the
different Regions of our country.

▪6.Theater artist integrates all the arts and uses the
stage, production design,performance elements,and

▪Technique is the manner in which artists 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. See for example below.

▪Wood CarvingWood Carving is an art that has
been practiced all over the world but very
avidly in Southeast Asia where great pieces of
woodwork have been crafted throughout the
ages. Siem Reap was a center of arts for many
years during the Angkor Empire, with
sculptures of Apsara, Angkor tales and other
stories regularly adorning the royal
compounds. Today, these very same sculptures
are made by craftsmen and placed in hotels all
over Siem Reap.

▪Is one of the most popular printing
techniques,and is most-used by
companies when printing design onto
products of different sizes and materials.It
has been used for more than 100 years in
the commercial and artistic sector and is
mainly used for printing images and
designs on T-shirts,Tote bags, paper,wood,
ceramics and other materials.

▪Analogue photography refers to
photography using an analogue camera
and film. A roll of film loaded into the
camera and the magic begins once you
start clicking: light interacts with the
chemicals in the film and an image is
recorded.The pictures collected in your
film roll come to life when the film is
processed in a photo lab..

▪Film production is the process of making a film.The direction or
production of films for the cinema or television is a visual
storytelling. Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages
including an initial story, idea, or commission, through
screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and
reproduction, editing, and screening the finished product before
an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition.
▪Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a
range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a
variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it
involves a large number of people and can take from a few
months to several years to complete.Filmmaker is the one who
takes the onus of a feature film from beginning to end, and most
commonly fulfills the dual role of producer and director (or
more).

▪Uses cameras containing arrays of
electronic photodetectors to capture
images focused by a lens, as opposed
to an exposure on photographic film.
The captured images are digitized and
stored as a computer file ready for
further digital processing, viewing,
electronic publishing, or digital
printing.

▪Is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to
blend art and digital media and speed up the
process of filmmaking as well as be more creative
and enterprising in the special effects
department.In short, more flexible digital
cameras-such as the Panasonic HVX 200 and the
RED One and Scarlet cameras and editing
software such as Final Cut Pro Studio, have made
the cinematographer's and editor's jobs easier
and made it possible for filmmakers to produce
quality films at much less expensive cost.

CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT FILM AND
DIGITAL?

▪It is the process of creating a recorded music project.
A record producer usually handles music production,
managing every aspect.That can include being a
critical part of the creative process,such as deciding
what instruments are used and contributing to song
arrangements.Since music production plays a vital
role in the quality of the final product, it can make or
break the success of an album.Record producers
give recommendations on which songs are best to
record;manage financial aspects of recording;hire
outside performers,if needed;and work with sound
engineers in the recording process.

▪It is a combination of art and
engineering;drawing skills,
creativity and technical knowledge
are critical. Industrial designers
usually choose to work on products
in a specific industry,such as the
medical, automobile, or technology
industry

▪It is an interdisciplinary research area
at the interface of computer science
and engineering.Robotics involves
design, construction, operation,and
use of robots. The goal of robotics is
to design intelligent machines that
can help and assist humans in their
day-to-day lives and keep everyone
safe.

ARTISTIC SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
TO CONTEMPORARY ART
CREATIONS

▪1. Collage is the technique of an art
production used in the visual arts, where the
artwork is made from on assemblage of
different forms, thus creating a new whole.
Collage may sometimes include magazines
and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paints, bits
of colored or handmade papers, portions of
other artwork or texts, photographs, and other
found objects, glued to a piece of paper or
canvas.

FATHER NATURE (FALCON) BY DOLAN GEIMAN
The next collage portrait of Father Nature,this one holding an Aplomado Falcon with cloud,
lightning bolt,lichen,fish, and snakeskin pattern detail.

▪2. Decollage is the opposite of collage; instead of
an image is being built up all or parts of existing
images, it is created by cutting, treating away, or
otherwise removing pieces of an original image.
The French word "Decollage" in English means
"Take-Off" or "To become Unglued" or "To
become unstuck". Examples of decollage include
cut-up technique.Similar technique is the
lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been
placed over another or others, and the top poster
or posters have been ripped,revealing to a
greater or lesser degree the poster or poster
underneath.

RUE DESPREZ ETVERCINGÉTORIX - LA FEMMEARTWORK

paintings. Graffiti may express underlying social
and political messages, and a whole genre of
artistic expression is based spray paint graffiti
styles. An example of this is the Singapore art
Bridge just beside the Oxford Hotel where the
writer stayed in their visit to Singapore.It is said to
be painted by a Batanes-born artist.

PACITA ABAD - "BRIDGE OF ART" 2004
Pacita Abad (1946-2004) was born in Basco,Batanes, a small island in the
northernmost part of the Philippines, between Luzon and Taiwan.

▪4. Land art - Earthwork or earth art is an art movement
in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably
linked.It is also an art form that is created in nature,
using natural materials such as soil,rock (bedrock,
bolders,stones),organic media (logs, branches,
leaves),and water which introduced materials such as
concrete,metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments.Sculpture
is placed in the landscape rather, the landscape is the
means of their creation.Often earth moving equipment
is involved.The works frequently exist in the open
located well away from civilization,left to change and
erode under natural conditions.

▪5. Digital Art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital
technology as an essential part of the creative or presentation
process. Digital art is placed under the larger umbrella term
new media art. After some resistance, the impact of digital
technology has transformed activities such as paintings,
drawing, sculpture, and music/sound art, while new forms such
as net art. Digital installation art and virtual reality have become
recognizedartistic practices. More generally the term digital
artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital
technologies in the production of art. Digital Art is a term
applied to contemporary art that uses the method of mass
production or digital media.The techniques of digital art are
used extensively by the mainstream media in advertisement
and by film-makers to produce visual effects. Both digital and
traditional artists use many sources of electronic information
and programs to create their work.

CORNUCOPIA
The Horn of Plenty, also known as The Cornucopia is classical antiquitythat assumes a horn-like
shape and is believed to symbolize nourishment and limitlessabundance

▪6. Mixed Media- It refers to the artwork in the making of
which more than one medium has been employed.It refers
to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally
distinct visual art media.It refers to a work of visual art that
combines various traditionally distinct visual art media.
For example,work on canvas that combines paint,ink, and
collage.choose the layers carefully and allow enough
When creating a painted or photograph work using mixed
media,it is important to dying time between the layers to
ensure the final work will have structural integrity,if many
different layers are imposed.Many effects can be achieved
by using mixed media.Found objects can be used in
conjunction with the traditional artist to attain a wide range
of self-expression.

▪7. Print Making- is the process of making
artworks by painting, normally in the paper.
Prints are created by transforming ink from a
matrix or through a prepared screen to a sheet
of paper or other material. Common types of
matrices include metal plates, usually copper
or zinc, or polymer plates for engraving o
etching; stone aluminum or polymer for
lithography; blocks of wood crafts and wooden
graving; and linoleum for linocuts. Screens
made of silk or synthetic fabrics are used for
the screen-printing process.
