CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINES ARTS FROM THE REGIONS

SECOND QUARTER
MODULE NO. 5
TOPIC: Contemporary Art Practices and Production

I. INTRODUCTION

Art production is part of any community’s way of life. It provides

opportunities for processing daily experiences. It translates shared
experiences into various forms of communication using multiple media forms
such as sound, visuals, movement, and words. It provides markers of a
community’s valued experiences, consequently creating living repositories of
knowledge for the next generation.

II. OBJECTIVE/S
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. identify and discuss various forms of artistic production and practices;
2. analyze the impact of their community’s geo-cultural context on the types
of artistic production present in their locale; and
3. implement and experience a chosen form of art production.

III. CONCEPT SUMMARY

➢ Art production provides opportunities for communities and individuals to process

daily experiences and translate them into various forms of communication through
multiple media.
➢ The development and production of art should address four concerns: physical
appearance or form, systems of art production, social narratives and histories, and
community valuation.
➢ Art provides a community significant and valued experiences, and creates living
repositories of knowledge for the next generation.

IV. BRIEF DISCUSSION

Contemporary art, unlike traditional art, is an active part of society as it represents and
mediates social conditions with human aspirations. According to Michelle Watts, as art
educator, the following are characteristics of contemporary art practices:

1. Changes to Accepted Tradition and Accepted Taste

Contemporary art tries to challenge age-old practices that hinder personal
growth and development. For contemporary artists, art should not be bound by
traditional approaches in the creation of art. Many visual artist are now expanding
their expression by using mixed media from unlikely materials. Contemporary
artists are also not afraid to create art that goes against personal beliefs and public
taste.

2. Understanding of a Multiplicity of Viewpoints

Contemporary art bridges the gap of geography, ethnicity, gender, and

beliefs. Contemporary artists are conscious of the diverse, multicultural nature of
today’s global society. The artworks that they create are not anymore ignorant of
the complexities of history, politics, and economics. Artist are becoming more
exposed to the interconnectedness of people and realities, and these become part
of their work.

3. Issues and ideas about the Role of Objects in Space and Relationships
between Objects.

Contemporary art works with existing objects or structures to maintain

balance and harmony. Space has become an integral part of the contemporary
artworks limited to museums and galleries. Public spaces are now considered by
contemporary artists in the display and installation of their artwork.

4. Use of everyday Materials

Contemporary art transforms simple objects and brings them to life. Everyday
objects such as furniture, car parts, electronics, and kitchen appliances are being
transformed by contemporary artists into beautiful artwork. Recycle art has
become a trend for contemporary artists. The mass array of materials from
disposals gives artists room for wild imagination.

tedious. An independent filmmaker can now shoot a film using a powerful camera
phone. Musicians can now compose music using tablet computers.

Artist in the 21st century have many means of creating art. With a multitude
of available materials and with the aid of modern technological advances, artists
engage themselves in various artistic activities and endeavors. If sculptors during
ancient times were limited with the chisel and hammer, modern sculptors use
computer-guided saws to create precise cuts on various materials. Composers now
use specialized software in creating music. Writers can now self-publish electronic
books of their works.

Today’s contemporary artists integrate other art forms or media in their

work. Visual artist may not only engage in painting but also in 3D animation or
Web design. Musicians are now heavily involved in film scoring or theatrical sound
effects. Creative writers are advancing careers in professional editing and
translation works. The contemporary artist of today is becoming more enterprising
than ever.
