    • Chronologically, contemporary art is related to the current period in art history and refers to new, recent, modern, or present moment art.
    • Philippine contemporary art emerged as a reaction to social/cultural realities in the 1970s, a time marked by censorship and repression of artistic expression.
    • At this point, aspiring artists were trained by established artists.
    • Contemporary art in the Philippines began when the country regained its liberties after the Marcos regime, enabling free expression.

    Elements of Art

    • Space: Emptiness in visual arts, either positive (enclosed) or negative (surrounding).
