Lesson
1 Various Contemporary Art Forms
Art draws inspiration from society and at the same time, it honed by the
specific conditions that engendered its production.
It is a common tendency to portray the display as cutting edge. Being contemporary
implies up to date and mechanically progressed. Being present day is likened with
being modern. The Gradual periods of evolvement in Contemporary arts are
additionally an exciting idea that needs to be discovered.
Modern art is referred to as Traditional compared to contemporary Art.
Contemporary art is the art of the present, which is continuously in process and flux.
It is what we call the art of today. The distinction between modern art and
contemporary could be also a matter of perception and reception depending on the
context. This is what the module design to distinguish the history from past to
present art.

What’s More
CONTEMPORARY ART
What is contemporary art? Is it similar to Modern art? What are the general
characteristics of contemporary art?
Contemporary art is much different from Modern art as it said earlier modern
art is referred to as “traditional” compared to contemporary art. How would that be?
An example is the work of Fernando Amorsolo, he painted his painting “Harvest
Scene in 1942. At that time, the painting was considered contemporary. Today, we
refer to that work as an example of Modern art produced during the Japanese era.
But some of the artists continue to produce work ‘til today and in that sense, their
works can be described as contemporary by being of the present.
What contemporary is? Contemporary art is an art of today produced by
artists living today. It is a fluid term, and its use can change depending on the
context.
Philippine Contemporary Art was an offshoot of social realism brought about
by Martial Law. Arts became an expression of people’s aspirations for a just, free,
and sovereign society.
Artists use mixed media. Their artworks are site-specific, process-based and
they integrate various art forms.
Contemporary art has the following characteristics;
a. collaborative / participative
b. interactive
c. Process-oriented (meaning that there is less emphasis on the
finished product and a single author or creator. There is a wide
range of strategies, media, and techniques)
d. Site-specific (they cannot be experienced in the same way if we
remove from their original place.
Contemporary art is distinguishable from Modern art in historical, stylistic, and
cultural terms. (crafted from Faludette May Datulin et. al, 2016. Contemporary
Philippine Arts of the Regions p. 15)
Important Happenings during the rise of Contemporary Art
Many cultural projects ensued amid the backdrop of poverty and
volatile social conditions under the leadership Of Ferdinand Marcos
and Imelda Marcos in 1965
Martial Law was declared on September 21, 1972
New Society or Bagong Lipunan was built by Marcos in which the main
focus is to rebirth the lost civilization and aspiration to modernization
and development in which the main vision is to combine the fine arts,

architecture, architecture, interior design, tourism, convention city-
building, engineering, urban planning, health and among many others
through an art and culture program.
