WHAT IS ART?
 Art is a tool for communication. Whether it is a painting or a performance as long as it is a venue for
one to convey or express a thought, emotions or aspirations, it is considered art.
 Every artwork reflects the artist and his or her society. Art offers us the chance to learn and
understand artists and the regions where they belong through their works.
 Art is defined as the manifestation or use of the various creative disciplines. It is a tangible output of
human creative expression and skill to express oneself. It comes in many forms or disciplines such
as literature and media arts but the most familiar of which are the visual and performing arts.

WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY ART?
Contemporary art generally refers to art being created now. Contemporary is derived from the
Latin prefix con, which means “together” or “with”, plus tempus, which means “time”. The
chronological view defines contemporary art as related to this current period in art history, and refers to
art that is new, recent, modern, or pertains to the present moment. The historical usage, meanwhile,
regards contemporary art as a specific stage in the story of the evolution of art, referring to a specific
location in space and time.
Contemporary art emerged in the Philippines in reaction to social and cultural realities during the
1970’s which is an era of repression and censorship of artistic expressions. Philippine art became a
means to oppose the regime, and the political art of social realism flourished at this time. Socio realism
is an art movement which sought to expose the real condition of Philippine society and used art to
transform it. Progressive art developed a culture that would convey the authentic aspirations of the
Filipino people.
The end of Martial Law in the wake of EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986 brought the
Philippines into the contemporary period, and the art produced in this period is regarded as
contemporary art.
 Contemporary arts are produced at the present period in time, includes and develops from
postmodern art, which is itself a successor to Modern art.
 Contemporary art made and produced by artist living today.
 Statement that an artist makes about life, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and many other things that define
human life. Simultaneously reflects the realities and values of our society, its variety portrays the
mosaic of our cultural diversity is culture.
 Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in the twenty-first century.
 Contemporary art of the 21st century may combine elements of performance, painting, sculpture,
dance, and many other media. It draws on the movements of modern art, including minimalism and
assemblage art, to create dynamic pieces that aim to challenge the viewer and spark thought. Many
contemporary artists use their work to comment on cultural and political issues, including race,
human rights, economic inequality, and global conflict. As the world continues to change and impact
human life on a large scale, art continues to experiment with new ways of reaching its audience.
Modern art referred to as traditional compared to contemporary art. Contemporary art is the art
of present, which is continuously in process and in flux. It is what we call the art of today. The distinction
of modern art and contemporary could be also a matter of perception and reception depending on the
context. This is what the module design to distinguish the history from past to present art.
Contemporary art is much different from Modern art as it said earlier modern art is referred
“traditional” compared to contemporary art. How would that be? An example is the work of Fernando
Amorsolo, he painted his painting “Harvest Scene” in 1942. At that time, the painting was considered
contemporary. Today, we refer to that work as an example of Modern art produced during Japanese
era. But some of the artists continue to produce work ‘til today and in that sense their works can be
describe as contemporary by virtue of being of the present.

What contemporary really is? Contemporary art is an art of today produced by artists living of today.
It is a fluid term, and its use can change depending on the context.
Philippine Contemporary Art was an offshoot of social realism brought about by Martial Law. Arts
became expression of people’s aspiration for a just, free and sovereign society.
Artists use mixed media. Their artworks are site specific, process - based and they integrate various
art forms.
Contemporary art has the following characteristics:
a. collaborative / participative
b. interactive
c. Process - oriented (meaning that there is less emphasis on the finished product and a
single author or creator. There is a wide range of strategies, media and techniques)
d. Site specific (they cannot be experienced in the same way if we remove from their original
place.
Contemporary art is distinguishable from Modern art in historical, stylistic and cultural terms.
Contemporary art and Local Heritage - Contemporary art professes an awareness of local heritage
which is something that can be passed from one generation to the next, can be conserved or inherited,
and has historic or cultural value. These are physical objects, places of heritage and the various
practices of heritage unique to the region or locality that are conserved or handed down from one
generation to the next.
FUNCTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART:
1. Contemporary art for Pleasure - A visual delight in the work of art, can take many forms
including an appreciation of beauty or decoration, or delight in an element of surprise. Most
cultures that have a definition of beautiful, define it as something pleasing to the eye, and often
resembling an ideal of some sort.
2. Contemporary art as Profession - Artists earn a living through their art since art and ideas are
never free. They possess value in the complex web of the creative industries that combine the
creation, production and commercialization of creative contents which are tangible and cultural
in nature.
3. Contemporary art for Recognition – Some artists create art in hopes of gaining fame and
fortune.
4. Contemporary art as Commentary - Art has been used to answer our need for information.
Artists who fulfill our need for commentary often speak in a language easy to understand, they
view art as primary goal to communication by means of subject matter.
5. Contemporary art in Spirituality - Artists may create art to express spiritual beliefs about the
destiny of life controlled by the force of a higher power.
6. Contemporary art as Remembrance - Art can be a remembrance which is something done as
an aid to memory. We need to commemorate important events and people that have shaped
our history and show reverence for those who have gone before us.
7. Contemporary art as Self-expression - Art fulfills an expressive function when an artist
conveys information about his or her personality, feelings or worldview.
How can an artist create an amazing, meaningful and pleasing to
the eye artworks?

VISUAL ELEMENTS OF ART
These visual elements of art are line, color, shape, space, value, texture, time and motion.
A. Line. This refers to a prolongation of a point or a mark on a surface. Solid lines can be used in
order to define form while broken lines are typically used to suggest hidden forms.
B. Shape and Mass. This element refers to an area with boundaries identified or drawing lines. A
shape may be natural or living forms called an organic shape and can be irregular or rounded. It
may also be measured forms called geometric shape. In contrast to shape, which is twodimensional, mass refers to solid portions of a three-dimensional object.
C. 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.
The color wheel is an arrangement of primary, secondary and tertiary colors. It is important tool
to identify which colors can work well if used in a certain artwork which is the color schemes or color
relationships. These are some of the color schemes:
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.
D. Texture. This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface. A person may describe as
actual or implied. Actual texture can be felt tangibly based on the material that is used for the
artwork while implied texture can be exhibited, for instance, in a painting of fur of an animal.
E. 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.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
F. 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;
linear perspective, which involves the use of vanishing points and receding hidden
space.
G. Time and Motion. 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.
