I. TITLE OF MATERIAL/INTRODUCTION:
The arts are described as means of expression that require imagination and/or skill in making aesthetic
objects or encounters that can be shared with other people. These may also be used to entertain or persuade
other people as these aesthetic objects and encounters create beauty. The arts include visual arts,
architecture, literature, music, dance, theater, and cinema or film.
II. OBJECTIVES:
Discuss various art forms found in the Philippines (CAR11/12IAC-0b-2)
During the 1970’s up to the present, artists began combining different art forms and media. An artists may
now combine two visual art forms, such as painting and sculpture. An artist may also integrate two or more
different art forms, such as sculpture and music. Integrating two or more forms of performing arts is still
common nowadays, even though that performing arts are already integrated before the 1970’s
Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevent to
ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse,
and technologically advancing world.
Contemporary Art is a statement that an artist make about life, thoughts, ideas, beliefs and amny other
things that define human life.
Their art is dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional
bounderies and defy easy definition.

Strictly speaking, the term “contemporary art” refers to art made and produced by artists living today.
Today’s artists work in and respond to a global environment that is culturally diverse, technologically
advancing and multifaceted. Working in a wide range of mediums, contemporary artists often reflect and
comment on modern-day society.

Color
This refers to visual perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way
various wavelengths of light are reflected. Color is a very important element because it can
communicate information and emotion to the viewer. These are the three properties of color:
Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in the color wheel.
Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color. A light color or tint is the
result of adding white to a hue, while a dark color or shade results from adding black
to a hue.
Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of color. It is also referred to as
purity of the color. A bright color can be produced by adding more pigment to the
same hue, while a dull color can be produced by adding gray or the color’s
complement to the pigment.
Color Schemes
Monochromatic – involves using the same hue but with different gradients of
value.
Analogous – entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color
wheel.
Complementary – involves the use of a color and its complement
-meaning the color located opposite of the first color.
Split-complementary – a close relative to the complementary color scheme.
But instead of using the color’s complement, this scheme uses the two colors
adjacent to the complement.
Triadic – uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other.
Tetradic – also known as double complementary color scheme, this uses two
pairs of complementary colors.

Texture
Value
This element refers to lightness or darkness of an area. This is evident in creating shadows
for a two-dimensional object to give an illusion of depth.
Space
Space refers to the area that is occupied by an object or a subject, as well as the area
surrounding that object or subject. An illusion of space can still be created in a two-
dimensional surface using perspective. There are two types of perspective: atmospheric
perspective, which utilizes the properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance;
and linear perspective, which involves the use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines.
Movement in the visual arts can either be an illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of
movement is more common in two-dimensional artworks. On the other hand, actual motion is
easily seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind or are vibrating with the surrounding
air.
The term “visual arts” encompasses a wide range of forms created by Filipinos. It ranges from Western-
influenced visual art forms to works created by folk and indigenous people. Traditionally, these visual art
forms include painting, and sculpture. However, there are other functional visual art forms in the country
that need to be appreciated as well. Some of these forms include advertising art, basketry, metalcraft, mat
weaving, pottery, and textile weaving.
PAINTING refers to the process of applying color on a flat surface. Forms can be created using a wide
variety of materials such as watercolor, acrylic, ink, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Surfaces for painting include

wood, canvas, cardboard, and paper. Painting is considered two-dimensional, meaning it only has height and
width.

THEMES OF PAINTING:
Genre Painting
Genre painting portrays people in daily
activities.During the contemporary period, genre
painting took several directions. One of these new
approaches is folk genre, which mainly focuses on the
everyday activities of the folk. Another approach is
using the style of cubism in depicting folk or urban
subjects. On the other hand, folk-naive is another
style wherein it uses a lot of color and spontaneity.
Historical Painting
The historical painting depicts a scene from the past. It often has a lesson concerning
national values.
Interiors
This refers to painting of the space inside of a part of a house or a building. This usually
reveals the social class of the family living in that particular house, as well as the traits of the
people living in it.

creating landscape paintings. Closely related to landscapes are seascapes, which focus on large
bodies of water, particularly the ocean or the sea.

Portraits
This refers to a painting portraying one or more specific individuals. This usually portrays
the physical characteristics of the subject and seeks to show an understanding of that person’s
character.
Nudes

materials and styles can be used in painting nudes. Nude painting sessions are conducted in
galleries.
Religious Painting
Common subjects of religious painting
includes a lone religious image, lives of the
saints, and scenes based from the Scriptures like
the Nativity scene, and the Station of the
Cross.
Still Life
This refers to a painting that depicts natural or man-made objects that form a composition
in a natural setting. A lot of styles can be used by artists in painting, ranging from Baroque and
Rococo, to impressionism, expressionism, and abstract. Neo-realism involves creating
representational figures that also look abstract; hyperrealism or magic realism, the subject is
painted in a highly realistic way that it resembles a photograph and social realism entails
creating paintings that depicts socioeconomic and political problems.

CALLIGRAPHY
It is the art of writing letters in a manner that it looks
visually appealing.
SCULPTURE is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts.
Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and modelling; in stones, metals, ceramics, woods and
other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process.
In contrast to painting, sculpture has three dimensions – height, width, and depth. It is created by
eithercarving, modelling, or assembling partstogether.
Relief
This kind of sculpture does not have a
flat horizontal base. The form is projected
from a flat surface. There are two types of
relief – low relief or bas-relief which is
slightly from the flat surface; and high
relief. Cagayan de Oro’s Legendary River
Monster is an example of relief sculpture.
Assemblage
This sculpture is formed by putting together
materials such as found objects, pieces of paper, sponges,
wood scraps, and other materials. A good example of this
is Lamberto Hechanova’s Man and Woman.

10
Kinetic Sculpture
This is considered as a sculpture in
motion because the entire sculpture or some
parts of the sculpture are moving with the
wind or are vibrating with the surrounding
air.
Welded Sculptures
Creating these sculptures involve the
process of. connecting sheets of metal
together by using an acetylene or electric
torch.
Use of Glass
A kind of sculpture where the medium
of expression used by the artist is glass.

Symbolic Sculpture
“Time” by Jefrë
Aside from painting and sculpture, other visual forms can be seen in every region in the country. Some of
them are even used by people on a regular basis. The following are some of the visual arts used by various
companies and offices:

and/or images, and are protected by hard or soft covers.
11
12
KOMIKS AND EDITORIAL CARTOON. Both komiks and editorial cartoon involve illustrations of stories
or events. However, an editorial cartoon is a single-frame illustration that may either makes fun of political
leaders or institutions, or comments on current events. The komiks, on the other hand, may use single or
multiple frames with conversations of people or animals placed inside “balloons”.
MAT WEAVING This refers to the art of “plaiting strips of organic fibers into mats”. These mats, locally
known as banig, are cool, light, and portable compared to fixed beds.
METALCRAFT. This includes all objects made from metal using the processes of brass casting and
blacksmithing, tinsmithing, or goldsmithing and silversmithing.
Brass casting and blacksmithing This process involves casting and forging pieces of brass or bronze.
Anting-anting or amulets are also created using this process.
Goldsmithing and silversmithing These processes involves the use of gold and silver in creating
objects and ornaments.
Tinsmithing can be easily seen in creating jeepneys, kalesas, and cariton or ice cream cart.

PHOTOGRAPHY. This refers to the process of producing images using a light-sensitive chemical plate or
film. Photographs are taken to serve as portraits and as propaganda which is highly useful medium for an
artist.
PRINTMAKING. This refers to transferring images from a firm surface, such as metal or wood , to a
pliable surface, such as cloth or paper, using pressure. This is different from production because print
making involves making the plate either by hand (of the artist) or mixed with mechanical means.

spaces near abandoned buildings, and garbage dumps; or any vacant lot. Some of these barong-barong are
built underbridges.

Throughout Philippines history, both foreign and Filipino architects introduce innovationswhenit
comestocreatingbuildingsandlarge structures.Even though the design of buildings and homes are still
Western-inspired, architects started to appreciate Filipino social traditions and cultural values. In fact, local
materials were used by architects like Francisco Mañosa, a Filipino architect considered as one of the most
influential Filipino architects of the 20th century, in designing homes and buildings. In addition to that, they
sought ways to express these traditions and values in architecture.
