What are the general characteristics of Contemporary Arts?
1. It is mixed media. Although contemporary artists continue to use traditional media such as
watercolor and oil on canvas, others use mixed media. It is where one medium or material has
been applied on their works.
2. The identity of the art is hard to separate from the artist. 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 mix of performance, installation, architecture, and culinary
arts.
