In contemporary art, not only
movements can be integrated into an
artwork. Even seemingly different art
categories can be melded together to
produce an integrated or combine art.
This crossbreeding in the
contemporary scene has resulted in a
hybrid art called integrative art. These
art forms are interactive and multi-
disciplinary in nature, this is consisting
of ideas and practices from different
branches of learning – the outcome,
being the unity of separate areas of
learning. For example, the integration of
science and humanities, two different
disciplines – in a building’s architecture.
Another example is a unique
presentation of three great distinct
disciplines – dance, music and song
performing under one roof at the CCP in
Manila.
There are many manifestations of
integrative art in our society nowadays.
You just need to have keen eye to
recognize what in our world are
examples of integrative art and what are
not.
