Here are the key points to address in your contemporary art project: 1. Contemporary art refers to art made by living artists today. It reflects the ideas, technologies, and cultures of the present moment. 2. Contemporary art is often collaborative, involving input from multiple artists or the audience. It is integrative, combining different mediums, styles, and art forms. The process of making the work is emphasized over the finished product. 3. This differentiates it from traditional and modern art, which often featured a single artist and focused on realistic representation or abstraction. Contemporary art is less concerned with realistic depiction and more with ideas, participation, and experimentation. 4. Your cubist artwork can demonstrate these qualities

Art

3. Objectives:

4. What is an

5. The word “art” is derived
from the Latin ars, which
originally meant “skill” or
“craft.” These meanings
are still primary in other
English words derived
from ars, such as
“artifact” (a thing made
by human skill) and
“artisan” (a person skilled
at making things).

6. What is
contemporary
Art

7. According to the study of Professor
Fajardo and Flores shows a summary
of a period of Philippine Art from
Pre-conquest to the Contemporary.

12. In term of art history,
contemporary art can be
defined as produced by artist
living today.

13. Hernando R. Ocampo’s
Masterpiece.
The Contrast was painted in the
early 1960s and is considered
contemporary. Today, we refer to
these works as examples of
Modern Art, produced between
the American colonial period to
the post war.
In that sense, their works can be
described as contemporary, virtue
of being of the present.

14. The table of Historical Overview
his paintings’ hard-edge and
minimalist abstract style is
therefore a fluid term , and its use
can change depending on the
context.

15. There are a number of
artists- young and senior,
alike-who paint in styles
associated with modern arts.

16. National Artist Victorio Edades is credited
for initiating the Modern Art Movement
that challenged the Neoclassic styles,
which was dominant at the time he came
home studying in America before the
war.

17. What is neoclassic styles?
This depicts reality as closely as
possible and idealizes it.

18. According to Britannica Neoclassical art, a widespread and
influential movement in painting and the other visual arts that began
in the 1760s, reached its height in the 1780s and ’90s, and lasted until
the 1840s and ’50s. In painting it generally took the form of an
emphasis on austere linear design in the depiction of Classical themes
and subject matter, using archaeologically correct settings and
clothing. Neoclassicism in the arts is an aesthetic attitude based on the
art of Greece and Rome in antiquity, which invokes harmony, clarity,
restraint, universality, and idealism. In the context of the
tradition, Classicism refers either to the art produced in antiquity or to
later art inspired by that of antiquity, while Neoclassicism always
refers to the art produced later but inspired by antiquity.

19. Then modern artists
led by Edades
challenged what
were described as
“conservatives” art
seen in the works of
National Artists
Fernando Amorsolo
and Guillermo
Tolentino
Fernando Amorsolo
Guillermo Tolentino
Victorio Candido Edades

20. Modern artists do not copy and idealize
reality; instead, they change the colors
and flatten the picture instead of creating
illusions of depth, nearness, and farness.
Instead of the beautiful and pastoral, they
depict what might be thought of as “ugly”
and unpleasant.

21. Fernando Amorsolo's painting

22. Modern Art was considered new and
shocking.
Neoclassic Art is also describe by art
historians like Guillermo as “academic”
along with other established styles
imported from Europe via Spanish
colonization.

23. Neoclassism is academic as it was and
continues to be taught in schools,
particularly in the University of the
Philippine School Fine Arts (UP College
of Fine Arts)

24. The Neoclassic styles associated with Amorsolo
and Tolentino continue to influence a number of
practicing artist who have learned to paint in that
style either formally as art students in various
universities where Neoclassic styles included in the
curriculum or informally through workshop and
apprenticeships, or through self-learning or self
study, as in the case of many artists from the
regions outside Manila.

25. Today, Modern Art is referred to as
“traditional” compared to
contemporary Art. Contemporary
art of the present, which is
continuously in process and in
flux.

26. What is contemporary
today might become
“academic” or traditional”
at some point.

27. The styles of Modern Art for
example are now part of art
school curricula.

28. What are the similarities
and differences between
Modern Art and
Contemporary Art?

29. Traditional art represents
the historical culture, skills,
and knowledge, while
contemporary art reflects
the ideas, mediums, and
technologies of the
present day world.

30. Carlos Francisco, Magpupukot Fernando Amorsolo, Fishing Scene
Victorio Edades, The Builders

31. Francisco’s depiction of fishing as
difficult process while Amorsolo’s
paiting rendition emphasizes calm
placidity. Then, The Builders shows
oppressive condition of the
unprivileged classes.

32. Modern Artists like Romeo
Tabuena, Hernando Ocampo,
Vicente Manansala, Victor Oteyza,
Ramon Estella, and Cecar Legaspi
were actively depicting the social
conditions in the aftermath of
World War II.

33. 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.

34. Working in a wide range
of mediums, contemporary
artists often reflect and
comment on modern-day
society.

35. Contemporary artists working within
the postmodern movement reject the concept of
mainstream art and embrace the notion of "artistic
pluralism," the acceptance of a variety of artistic
intentions and styles. Whether influenced by or
grounded in performance art, pop art,
Minimalism, conceptual art, or video,
contemporary artists pull from an infinite variety of
materials, sources, and styles to create art. For this
reason, it is difficult to briefly summarize and
accurately reflect the complexity of concepts and
materials used by contemporary artists.

36. Some artists have turned away from
realistic representation and the depiction
of the human figure, and have moved
increasingly towards abstraction. In New
York City after World War II, the art world
coined the term "abstract expressionism"
to characterize an art movement that was
neither completely abstract, nor
expressionistic.

37. Neo-realist called by Aguillar Cruz, this
artist depicted society’s problems and
challenged the Neoclassic rural-pastoral
style associated with Amorsolo and
Tolentino. The Social realists of the
seventies are considered heirs of this
tradition.

38. Social realism
continues to influence
contemporary artist.
For example. Imelda
Cajipe-Endaya’s Filipina
DH(1995) is a social
realist, but the style
and medium of the
installation is markedly
different.

39. The Stylistic
Overview is an idea
of the difference in
style and medium
between Modern
Art and
Contemporary Art.

40. Modern art is incredibly diverse, and it is impossible to
generalise, but one common trend was abstraction. Breaking free
from pictorial conventions such as representation, narrative and
perspective, and focussing instead on the expression of inner
feelings and emotions, artists of the late 19th and early 20th
century gradually led us towards abstraction. The French
Impressionists were among the first to break away from detailed
painting styles. The Post-Impressionists after them such as Paul
Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin moved on to
separate colour from reality, heightening it for dramatic effect.
They paved the way
for Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Suprematism, Rayonism, F
uturism and more. These ideas in turn informed Abstract
Expressionism in the 1950s, and Colour Field Painting in the
1960s.

41. Cubism

42. Minimalism

43. Impressionism

44. Abstract Expressionism

45. Realism

46. What are the
general
characteristics of
Contemporary Art?

47. Although
contemporary artists
like Saudi Ahmad
continue to use
traditional media such
as watercolor and oil
canvas, others like
Cajipe-Endaya use
mixed media.

48. Site-specific, they cannot
experience in the same way if
removed from their original
places of exhibit whether in
the gallery, on the streets, in
the forest, on the internet.

49. They are generally process-
based and integrate various
medium and art form.

50. Collaborative which is the
experience is immersive and
interactive, art will never be
complete without the
audience’s active input.

51. The filmmaker Kidlat
Tahimik and his family
perform their life as
their art and vice-versa,
as evident in the art
spaces in Baguio which
have become associated
with a mixed
performance,
installation,
architecture, and
culinary art.

52. A lot of contemporary art may be
collaborative/participative, interactive,
and process-based, meaning that there is
less emphasis on the finished product and
a single author or creator.

53. This is not always the case for other works,
however. There is a wide range of
strategies, media, and techniques under
the term contemporary art.

54. Contemporary art is distinguishable from
Modern Art in Historical, Stylistic, cultural
term. The most common characteristics of
contemporary art revolve around their
being site-specific, process-based,
collaborative, and interactive.

55. However, there are also some artist who
use a mixture of contemporary,
indigenous, Islamic, popular traditional art
forms, media, and content.

56. Instructions: You will bring 1/8
illustration board, coloring

58. 1. It terms of history, how do you define the
contemporary? How is it different from the
“tradition” or “modern”?
2. Explain the meaning of contemporary art:
collaborative, integrative, and process-based.
How do these mediums and techniques

traditional or modern?

60. PT- CUBISM ARTWORK

life.

61. 2. Draw a basic outlines of
your using the straight
outline and geometric
shapes.

62. 3. Divide the subject into
cubes or other geometric
shapes.
