CONTENT STANDARD The learner shows understanding of the materials and techniques.

CHECKPOINT: In what ways does contemporary art distinguish itself in terms of skills
and techniques in art production?

In wanting to experiment and expand their art knowledge, contemporary artists educate
themselves. They read books, study online and they can also interact with other artists and learn from
them. They experiment with materials from hardware stores and study about chemical reactions to
discover something new. Some learn welding and simple engineering skills. That is why some artists
are able to cross other art forms, or styles and can be interdisciplinary artists, as they have an
experimental and curious nature.

When it comes to art production, an artist can work alone or collaborate with other artists.
Visual and performance artists combine talents and skills for public performances. Some hire resin
makers, house painters and materials fabricators to help them bring to life their ideas.

Jonathan Benitez
(2015); collage

Birdwoman by Collage is made by adhering flat materials such as

Jonathan Benitez newspaper or magazine cut-outs, printed text, illustrations,
(2015); collage photographs, cloth, string, etc. to a flat surface. The artist
brings all the materials together in an artistic composition
to get a desired effect or bring a certain message.

Assemblage is putting together found objects

like scraps, junk, paper, wood, metal, cloth,
stone, arranged in an artistic composition.
The output is a three-dimensional artwork, as
opposed to a flat artwork in a collage.

Decalcomania is the process of applying gouache

to paper or glass then transferring a reversal of that
image onto canvas or other flat materials. Gouache
is a type of water media, paint consisting of natural
pigment, water, a binding agent, and sometimes
additional inert material; designed to be used with
opaque methods of painting. Eye of the Heart Chigoe
Velasco, decalcomania

Decoupage is done by adhering cut-outs of paper and then

coating these with one or more coats of transparent varnish.

REMEMBER
Key Points

 In terms of sourcing materials for their art projects, some contemporary artists mix different
materials. They can get varied effects when they do this. Texture can also be applied to a
painting by adding elements on the canvas. In sculpture, wood and metal can be used in one
artwork.
 Contemporary artists can cross other art forms, or styles and can be interdisciplinary artists, as
they manifest an experimental and curious nature in the creation of their work.
 Interactive and collaborative work is gaining popularity among contemporary Filipino artists.
This is especially true when artists combine talents and skills for public performances.
 Some techniques in contemporary art include collage, assemblage, decalcomania, decoupage,
frottage, montage, trapunto, digital applications, and mixed media.
