What’s New
From the discussion above, we learned about the different contemporary art
forms. While we review the previous lesson, it to boot basic to be beyond any doubt
that the art of the so – called past continued and proceeds to development until the
appear and are thus in that sense, “contemporary”. This art continued to be
conveyed, without a doubt in case the conditions behind its era have as of now
changed through and through. In the discussion below, be conscious of the way the
description of context is integrated into the description of form – what art is made of
and how art is made. The relationship of material and process to the symbols and
meanings of the art forms matters how we contextualize. ( crafted from: Faludette

of believers. Central to the Islamic faith is the doctrine of or unity of God. This belief
emphasizes the impermanence of nature and the incomprehensible greatness of the Divine
Being.
In Islamic art we can observe how artist are influenced by the notion of the Tawhid,
we will find that the interior of mosques are covered with elaborate patterning in the form of
reliefs to draw the attention away from the concrete object, in other words away from human
forms and nature” toward the contemplation of the divine” ( source: Faludette May Datulin et.

What kinds of
art developed during
Spanish Colonization?
Art became a
hand maiden of religion,
serving to propagate the
Catholic faith and thus
support the colonial order
at the same time.
Religious orders
were dispatched to
convert the
lhttps://bit.ly/2VqsfLYl natives to Catholicism as
part of the larger project
III. culturally as
religious art, lowland Christian art or folk art. During this period, cruciform churches following
the shape of the latin cross were built. In keeping with the prevailing, they were characterized
by grandeur, drama, and elaborate details that purposely appealed to the emotions. The use
of adobe, limestone or brick and the construction of thick buttresses or wing like projections
reinforce the church structure to make it more resistant to earthquake. In other words, the
result is a fusion of both native and European elements, prompting some art historians to
refer to the style as colonial baroque or Philippine or tropical baroque. (source: Faludette

What is contemporary
art? Is it similar to Modern art?
What are the general
characteristics of contemporary
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. (crafted from: Faludette May Datulin et. al , 2016. Contemporary Philippine Arts of the
Regions p. 15)
