INTRODUCTION
Contemporary artists feel free to experiment with materials and use technology to
explore possibilities. What would you do with old textile, used plastic bottles, buri or
abaca? How can indigenous materials, found objects, and recycled materials be
combined to make an artwork? Can you use the computer to plan an art space before
installing an artwork? These are questions that artists grapple with in choosing or
planning the materials to use for their artworks.
The yearly celebration of Arts Month in February brings together artists from
different regions, who exhibit their artworks or combine their talents in public
performance. Here, we witness a variety of skills, art techniques, and art production,
such as installation of birds and animals made from leaves and twigs, rope and strings
meshed in a form; body art performance; digital presentation; music performance
amidst paintings, and many others.

Painting is no longer confined to

canvas hung on the wall, they can
also be found on ceilings and floors.
An example of a painting which was
painted by Batanes born artist Pacita
Abad with 2,350 multiple colors.

Paint is also used for body art. An

example is Cagayan de Oro artist Nicolas Aca,
who paints his body to project an effect.

Some artists salvage materials that they can still use to make creative forms.
They can combine materials like wood and metal that can interact with the wind to make
music. There are some who used everyday items like plastic cover for sculpture, mirror
or yarn. Some may use their personal things like clothes or accessories.

Skills, Techniques, and

There are different types of techniques that artists can choose from:

Production in
Collage – is made by adhering flat elements such as newspaper or magazines cutouts,
printed text, illustrations, photographs, cloths, strings, etc. to a flat surface to
create a thick layer that is almost like a relief sculpture.

Contemporary Art
Decalcomania – is the process of applying gouache to paper or glass then transferring
a reversal of that image onto canvas or other flat materials.
Decoupage - is done by gluing decorative paper cutouts onto an object and then
coating these with one or more coats of transparent coating or varnish.
Frottage – is the technique of rubbing crayon on a piece of paper which has been
placed over an object or an image. The impression of the image can be made
using leaves, wood, wire screen, or metal with embossed image or words.
Montage – is used for photography or film where a pictorial image is juxtaposed or
placed overlapping to make another picture or design.
Trapunto – painting is the technique used by Pacita Abad where her canvases are
padded, sewn, and often filled with sequins, beads, shells, button, tiny mirrors,
bits of glass, rickrack, swatches of precious textiles, and other things that she
picks up from her travels and journey.

Contemporary art is not confined to the museum. Artworks are also found in
galleries, arts schools, side streets, and public spaces like the train or bus stations,
shopping centers, or parks. Many installation artworks are intended for display in a
particular setting and for a given span of time. Then, they are deconstructed and cannot
be repeated. Some artworks are posted online. This means anyone who has access to
the internet can view the artwork and actually purchase it.
Style in contemporary art can fall under any of the more than 100 styles, but can
be categorized under the few big movements in art. Artists salvage materials that can
be recycled and make these into creative forms. They can make artworks that combine
structure and wood and interact with the wind to make music.
Artists explore the materials in hardware stores, and experiment with chemical
reactions on their base material. There are those who learn welding and simple
engineering skills. Some hire resin makers, house painters, and material fabricators to
help them in constructing their artworks.
