SMALL INSIGHT
CONTEMPORARY ART
Knowing the difference between traditional art and modern art, how can we define art as a
contemporary art? We have said in the introduction that contemporary art is the art of the “now”. It
can be best described as an art that manifests the face of the society TODAY. Art is made with
themes, and thus contemporary art mostly contains social issues and human experiences.
Contemporary art is existential in perspective – the art that exists in every beholder of the art and the
artists as well.
Search the internet and find yourself a more intimate definition of what contemporary art is.
Write your insight about contemporary art.
Art is one of the earliest and most basic form of communication. This is seen in the prehistoric
visual artworks like the cave drawings and other early artifacts. This is also evident in our folk songs
and rituals, The visual and performing arts are ways for people to express themselves and share their
individual insights to others. Through these arts, they catch other people’s attention, imagination,
and admiration.
Before we continue, how do you express art? What is your definition of art? Share your answer by
writing it in your answer sheet.

VISUAL ARTS is a term used to describe a wide array of artistic disciplines that are
appreciated primarily through sight. Visual arts include the different art forms and disciplines such as
fine arts, decorative arts, and contemporary art forms.
1. FINE ARTS
Fine arts are the artwork we readily associate with art. The term “fine art” was first used to
describe the art forms created primarily for its appearance rather than its practical use. As time
passed, this term was used to include artworks that came about from emerging technology and
artistic innovations.
In your answer sheet, guess the missing letters of the given examples of fine arts.

2. DECORATIVE ARTS
Decorative arts, also known as decorative craft, are artworks that are both aesthetically
pleasing and functional. While the fine arts are primarily concerned with beauty and aesthetics, the
decorative arts were not only beautiful but are useful as well. From the Renaissance up until the
twentieth century, many artists in the West consider the decorative arts as a lower version of art;
makers of these artworks were not considered as artists but rather as craftsmen. This attitude has
gradually changed, though there are still some who believe in the outdated distinction.
There are a multitude of examples of decorative arts, most common of which are:
In a bond paper, create a short/brief report or research on a contemporary art form. It may
be an art form not mentioned in this lesson. The report should include the art form’s characteristics,
history proponent artist/s, and a picture (1) of an example artwork of the form.
PERFORMING ARTS
When artists use their voices and/or their body movements to communicate artistic
expression, this is an example of performing arts. Performing arts come in many kinds, but all are
meant to be enacted in front of a live audience.
Performing arts are often categorized into three types: music, dance, and theatre.
1. MUSIC
Music is a universal form of art. It is defined as the manipulation of sound and silence. It
blends the different elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, and texture to create sound.
It is performed by utilizing different instruments, vocal techniques, and styles. It can be performed
live or recorded and can be prepared in advance or improvised.
Music comes in a variety of music genres, with each genre having its subcategory. Here are
some of the most common music genres:

A. ART MUSIC
Art music is the umbrella term used to refer to music that stems from Western
Classical Music. It is usually presented and preserved through written musical
notations that were developed in Europe.
B. Popular Music
Popular music generally refers to music that is accessible and commercially
available to the public. It is played or disseminated through different mass
media outlets such as radios, television, and the internet.
C. Traditional Music
Traditional music are musical forms that are community and culturally based.
It is diverse with one community or group often having a different form from
another. It is learned and preserved by passing it to one generation to
another through oral communication and actual performance.
In your notebook, write at least 5 art music, popular music, and traditional music that you
know. You may ask your family/relatives to give some examples and share with them what you
understand about music as a performing art.
2. DANCE
Dance is defined as regulated and deliberated order of body movements. These
movements have aesthetic value and are often performed accompanied with music.
Dance comes in many forms and styles, some of which are as follows:
Ballet – Belly dance – Break dance – Improvisational dance – Hip-hop dance
Modern dance – Contemporary dance – Traditional dance

Theater or play is a branch of performing arts that often involves the integration and
combination of the visual and performing arts. It is defined as a fine art where actors or actresses
perform experiences, whether real or imagined, in front of a live audience. The performers make use

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION
This is basically the continuation of Worksheet 1 with MELC - describes various contemporary
art forms and their practices from the various regions. In this worksheet, we shall continue to discover
the practices of art from various regions in the Philippines, but this time with a particular focus on
discussing various art forms found in the Philippines.
We are done knowing the concept of art in contemporary times. Everything we do now is
considered a contemporary art. The question now is, “What makes an art a contemporary art?” We
shall see that as we begin our 2nd week!
ACTIVITY
We are already capable of distinguishing the difference between visual and performing arts.
Let us try to see if you have learned that skill in the previous week. In your answer sheet, write 2

visual or performing arts.
After the first activity, what do you think are the things that best describes an art as a
contemporary art? Write down all your insight in your answer sheet.
SMALL INSIGHT
Contemporary visual arts in the Philippines are classified into three: Fine arts, decorative arts,
and contemporary art forms.
Fine arts – type of visual art that are most frequently associated with arts such as paintings,
sculptures, and drawings.
Decorative arts – category of visual arts that pertains to artworks that are not just
aesthetically pleasing but functional as well, examples include pottery, furniture, metal crafts, etc.
Contemporary art forms – artworks that are result of the use of new techniques, technology
and mediums. This art form cannot be easily categorized between fine arts and the decorative arts
11
and hence results in different classification all together. Common examples include installation art,
digital art, virtual reality, etc.

Concept Notes
You have learned and distinguished the differences between the traditional arts and
contemporary arts. According to Dedal (2017), traditional arts is learned from family or community
members passed among generations while contemporary arts can be found anywhere, such as
school, streets and the like. It is diverse and technology-oriented and with social concerns pertinent
to the person or the world.
To further study its differences, read stated on the table below.
Cinema
During the last decade of the 19th century, in 1896, a Spaniard by the name of Pertierra,
prepared to launch his first movie show in Manila at Christmas Time. The venue was to be at Salon de
Pertierra, which he established nine months earlier as the Phonograph Parlor on the ground floor of
the Casino Espanol at Calle Perez, off the Escolta. But for some reasons still unknown to this writing,
Pertierra failed to make his presentation despite several published announcements to this effect. The
show kept being postponed until the New Year.
Finally, on January 1, 1897, the first four movies namely, Un Homme Au Chapeau (Man with a
Hat), Une scene de danse Japonaise (Scene from a Japanese Dance), Les Boxers (The Boxers),
and La Place de L’ Opera(The Place L’ Opera), were shown via 60mm Gaumont Chrono-
photograph projector at the Salon de Pertierra at no. 12 Escolta.
Other countries, such as France, England, and Germany have their claims to the introduction of
publicly projected motion picture but the corresponding credit should have been given to Mr.
Pertierra and the centennial anniversary of the first movie shown in the Philippines should have been
commemorated on January 1, 1997 (https://ncca.gov.ph/about-ncca-

In April 1992, the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan or the National Living Treasures Award was
institutionalized through Republic Act No. 7355. Tasked with the administration and implementation
of the Award is the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the highest policy-making and
coordinating body for culture and the arts of the State. The NCCA, through the Gawad sa
Manlilikha ng Bayan Executive Council, conducts the search for the finest traditional artists of the
land, adopts a program that will ensure the transfer of their skills to others, and undertakes measures
to promote a genuine appreciation of and instill pride among our people about the genius of the
Manlilikha ng Bayan.
First awarded in 1993 to three outstanding artists in music and poetry, the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng
Bayan has its roots in the 1988 National Folk Artists Award organized by the Rotary Club of Makati-
Ayala. As a group, these folk and traditional artists reflect the diverse heritage and cultural traditions
that transcend their beginnings to become part of our national character. As Filipinos, they bring
age-old customs, crafts and ways of living to the attention and appreciation of Filipino life. They
provide us with a vision of ourselves and of our nation, a vision we might be able to realize someday,
once we are given the opportunity to be true to ourselves as these artists have remained truthful to
their art.
As envisioned under R.A. 7355, “Manlilikha ng Bayan” shall mean a citizen engaged in any traditional
art uniquely Filipino whose distinctive skills have reached such a high level of technical and artistic
excellence and have been passed on to and widely practiced by the present generation in his/her

QUARTER 1 MELC 5 - Evaluates Contemporary Art Forms Based on the Elements and
Principles
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION
The elements and principles of art and design are the foundation of the language we use to
talk about art. The elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition.
These are line, shape, color, texture, and space.
The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and
to help convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis,
movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of these principles can help determine
whether a painting is successful, and whether or not the painting is finished.
Traditional way of looking at art, namely the visual arts, suggests that there are five basic elements
of an art work – line, shape, color, texture and space. You might find form singled out as a separate
category, defined as a three-dimensional alternative to shape.
Saying that the line is the most essential of all art elements
somehow comes naturally. After all, it is usually the first and the most
pristine outcome of our contact with writing tools, pens, pencils,
crayons, etc, and typically the first thing we choose to use in order to
32
Key words :Structural, Outline, Contour, Gesture, Sketch, Implied, Line of sight, Horizontal, Diagonal,
Vertical
Space in Art
Space is often illusively recreated in a painting or a drawing, realistically or
in a distorted manner. Space in Art refers to the three-dimensionality of
sculpture and architecture. It also refers to the sense of depth in a two
dimensional artwork.
Three dimensional
space (real)
Two dimensional
space (illusion)
COLOUR
The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help
convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis,
movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of these principles can help determine
whether a painting is successful, and whether or not the painting is finished.
Contrast is a principle that is used is different ways in Art. The purpose of contrast is to create a
statement, to entice the viewer and to create attention. Negative/Positive space is an example of
contrast.
Contrast is achieved through
• Materials
• line
• Shape, form and size
• Value
• Colour
• Textures
• Time and style
• ideas
Emphasis is when the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually dominant and
commands the viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.
Pattern is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination thereof. Anything
can be turned into a pattern through repetition. Some classic patterns are spirals, grids, weaves. A
popular drawing practice is Zentangles, in which an abstract or representational outline is divided
into different areas, each of which contains a unique pattern.
Unity/Variety You want your painting to feel unified such that all the elements fit together
comfortably. Too much unity creates monotony, too much variety creates chaos.You need both.
Ideally, you want areas of interest in your composition along with places for your eye to rest.

INTRODUCTION
Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Region is an art produced at the present period in
time. In vernacular English, “modern” and “contemporary” are synonyms, resulting in some
conflation of the terms “modern art” and “contemporary art” by non-specialists.
Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Region is an art produced at the present period in
time. A new group was needed negotiate the actual aesthetic breakaway from the established
canon to the abstract, expressionist, symbolist and other modes of creative expression characteristic
of the art of the modern world.
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the official cultural agency of the
government of the Philippines, has categorized Filipino arts into traditional and non-traditional. Each
category are split into various arts, which in turn have sub-categories of their own.
The traditional arts in the Philippines encompass folk architecture, maritime transport,
weaving, carving, folk performing arts, folk (oral) literature, folk graphic and plastic arts, ornament,
textile, or fiber art, pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.

Modern and Contemporary art are two distinctly different art era's. Traditional art aimed to
Page
represent reality or realism through narrative. Whereas, modern art aimed to throw aside
the tradition of the past and experiment with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the
nature of materials and functions of art.
Since the early 20th century, 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.
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.
