What’s New? Let us study the integrative art as applied to contemporary art. What is art? Art is a tangible manifestation and product of human activity that allows the expression of Art is a means of communicating or conveying insights and emotions. According to Plato: “Art is merely an imitation or a copy of reality” According to Leo Tolstoy: “Art unifies men as they produce the same feelings and sentiments.” According to Eugene Veron: “Art is an external manifestation created and produced through lines, movements, sounds, colors and emotions.” According to Leonardo Da Vinci: Art is “the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world”. 2 Different Forms of Art I. Visual Art - this is the art that appeals to the visual sense and may be constructed using varied mediums. Painting Drawing Photography Sculpture Architecture Weaving II. Literary Art - This art denotes “letters” or literature which came from the Latin word “litera” meaning “an individual written character”. It is imaginative writing with recognized artistic value. III. Performing Art - The art that involves creative activity that is performed and delivered in front of spectators. Dance Music Theatre Contemporary Arts Contemporary art started in the 1950s, after World War II. Artists started to experiment on different techniques and different ways of expressing their emotions, views, ideas, and other things that they wanted to express through art. Characteristics: 1. Contemporary art can now be found wherever artists can put their work. It is not confined in museums. 2. The practice of selling paintings has also changed post-war for contemporary art. 3. Many contemporary artists are self-taught and did not have formal education. 4. Originality is not a big issue for contemporary artists. 5. what is essential in contemporary art is the process of art-making. Contemporary Arts in the Philippines As discussed in the characteristics of contemporary art, artists are very experimental when it comes to their materials, venue, process, and theme/concept. Their limit is their imagination when trying to share their message. Artists are finding different ways to get their message across, trying other styles and sometimes even trying different art forms, like a painter may choose to produce a short film using his or her paintings. 3  There have been several art movements and styles that dominated since the 1950s in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism This is a painting style where the artist applies paint in a manner that expresses emotions and feelings in a spontaneous way. Kinetic art This is a kind of sculpture that moves with the wind or powered by a machine or electricity. Op art This style uses lines or images repeatedly to create an optical illusion. Performance art This combines a variety of media and the human body to execute an artistic theatrical expression before a live audience. Environmental art This involves the artistic creation or manipulation of space such as landscape or architectural design that may enclose its audience. Feminist art This emerged from female artists expressing their concerns through art. They tackle issues of identity, sexuality, gender roles, equality, and the ways which the female is treated in society, among others. 4 Minimalism This style has a stripped-down, pre-fabricated look, free of details and often with flat surface, but expresses a specific content or statement. Video art This consists of images that are recorded through a video and viewed through television, computer or projection screen. Postmodern art This carries modern styles to extreme practices, often expressing an idea through a mix of materials, such as found objects welded together. Graffiti art This is a drawing, inscription or sketch done hastily on a wall or other surface made to be seen by the public. Body art This is an art form that uses the body as the medium or main material. The body can be painted or clothed and used to perform an artistic act in public. Tattooing and piercing are also considered body art. Digital art This is done with the aid of computer and computer programs to create an image or design. The image can be printed on paper, tarpaulin or other mediums. 5 Integrative Art as applied to Contemporary Art Integrative Art, from the word “integrate”, refers to art approaches or techniques that involve the use of combination or mixed mediums. Art refers to anything that attracts the five senses and thus its mediums may be visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile and gustatory. Approaches, Genres and Forms Example: Agnes Locsin's dance-work 'Moriones', 1991 Traditional to Cyber Spheres Example: Lucban Assembly Performances and Folk Stories Example: “Fugtong: The Black Dog” Modern Applications of Integrative Art to Contemporary Art Graphic Design Video & Film Making Animation Theater Production Television Production 6  What’s In It!

Returning from Europe (where he was enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Rome) in 1925, he was appointed as professor at the UP School of Fine Arts where the idea also of executing a monument for Oblation national heroes struck him. U.P. Diliman The Oblation (Filipino: Pahinungod, Oblasyon) is a concrete statue by Filipino artist Guillermo E. Tolentino which serves as the iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines. It depicts a man facing upward with arms outstretched, symbolizing selfless offering of oneself to his union. The original Oblation, located at the U.P. Diliman Main Library building. National Artist for Sculpture 1976 Napoleon Abueva (Bohol) Abueva has produced a significant number of public sculptures for the UP using various materials from wood, to stone and metal; with themes ranging from figurative tableau to abstract sculptures. Oblation U.P. Diliman The Siyam na Diwata ng Sining (1994) Found in UP Diliman's Hardin ng mga Diwata, Abueva's "Siyam na Diwata ng Sining" represents the 9 muses: architecture, dance, film, literature, music, painting, photography, sculpture, and theater. 10  The function of his public works lies in the way they inspire respect for previous generations and remind the viewers of the past, of heroism, of the moments that made history, while keeping a watchful eye over the present. The nine muses represent architecture, dance, film, literature, music, painting, photography, sculpture, and theater. They are placed on a ring-shaped pedestal hollow in the middle, allowing people to look at the sculpture from below. National Artist for Painting 1972 Fernando Amorsolo (NCR- Manila) Amorsolo developed the backlighting technique that became his trademark where figures, a cluster of leaves, spill of hair, the swell of breast, are seen aglow on canvas. Planting Rice The ‘Planting Rice’ with Mayon Volcano, Exhibits the happiness across from the difficulties in planting rice. The Filipino Villagers in their bright clothes and straw hats plant together with a fresh and green landscape of plenty. behind the filipino villagers is the peaceful flume of steam. The country had its first National Artist in Fernando C. Amorsolo. The official title “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art” was bestowed on Amorsolo when the Manila Hilton inaugurated its art center on January 23, 1969 with an exhibit of a selection of his works. Returning from his studies abroad in the 1920s, National Artist for Painting 1981 Vicente Manansala (Pampanga) His paintings are described as visions of reality teetering on the edge of abstraction. As a young boy, his talent was revealed through the copies he made of the Sagrada Familia and his mother’s portrait that he copied from a photograph. Mother and Child 11 National Artist for Painting 2006 Benedicto “Bencab” Cabrera (NCR- Manila) He is considered the preeminent Filipino painter of his generation. Primarily figurative, Cabrera’s work often depicts woman and occasionally men wrapped in swirling, bundled fabrics and capes. Sabel in Blue It’s quite ironic that a homeless woman would find a home of sorts on BenCab’s canvas, transcending whoever she was in the first place, turning into an emblem. How the muse of dislocation has become entrenched in the psyche of Filipino art lovers. A fixture even, as BenCab reinvents and rediscovers Sabel yet again. This time in limited-edition watches to commemorate Swatch Philippines’ 25th anniversary. BenCab eventually returned to the Philippines, and settled in the City of Baguio in Northern Luzon, eventually putting up a studio and a secluded little farm on Asin road, in the nearby town of Tuba, Benguet. He and a small group of fellow artists - visual artist Santiago Bose, filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik, and sculptor Ben Hur Villanueva, among others, established the Baguio Arts Guild (BAG). It was during this period in his career that BenCab began to more deeply explore the use handmade paper as a medium on which to work. “Sabel” is a major subject that recurs through BenCab’s works through the decades, inspired by a real-life scavenger, he photographed and sketched in 1965, the Sabel image has become the artists vehicle for the transmission of intensely emotional moods. When pushed to the limits of abstraction, the Sabel image serves as a fertile ground for the investigation of shape and structure. National Artist for Painting 2006 Abdulmari Asia Imao (Sulu) A native of Sulu, is a sculptor, painter, photographer, ceramist, documentary film maker, cultural researcher, writer, and articulator of Philippine Muslim art Sarimanok and culture. The Sarimanok, also known as papanok in its feminine form, is a legendary bird of the Maranao people who originate from Mindanao, an island in the Philippines and it is the Philippine Mythology. It comes from the words "sari" and "manok." "Sari" means cloth or garment, which is generally of assorted colors. Through his works, the indigenous ukkil, sarimanok and naga motifs have been popularized and instilled in the consciousness of the Filipino nation and other peoples as original Filipino creations. 12 National Artist for Painting 2003 Jose Joya (NCR- Manila) Joya’s mural in the Virata School of Business titled, “Barter of Panday” is rendered in the abstract expressionist style and consists of soft, overlapping colors. Makiling Interlude He espoused the value of kinetic energy and spontaneity in painting which became significant artistic values in Philippine art. His paintings clearly show his mastery of ‘gestural paintings’ where paint is applied intuitively and spontaneously, in broad brush strokes, using brushes or spatula or is directly squeezed from the tube and splashed across the canvas. National Artist for Architecture 1990 Leandro Locsin (Negros Occidental) His architectural vision drew inspiration from the spirit of the times. He believes that the true Philippine Architecture is “the product of two great streams of culture, the oriental and the occidental… to produce a new object of profound harmony.” The Cultural Center of the Philippines (Filipino: Sentrong Pangkultura ng Pilipinas, or CCP) is a government owned and controlled corporation established to preserve, develop and promote arts and culture in the Philippines. The CCP was established through Executive Order No. 30 s. 1966 by President Ferdinand Marcos.

Works include Pagsamba (worship music utilizing 100 instruments) 20 Collaborative Works Of National Artists Manuel Conde With a curious mind and restless spirit that could not be contained by what is, Conde went beyond the usual narratives of the traditional genres and ventured into subject matter that would have been deemed too monumental or quixotic by the average producer. Conde dared to recreate on screen the grand narratives of larger-than-life figures from world history and literature, like Genghis Khan. Carlos “Botong” Francisco The poet of Angono, single-handedly revived the forgotten art of mural and remained its most distinguished practitioner for nearly three decades.

At age 20, he broke tradition by reaching excellence in playing the kwintangan. He is also dedicated to sharing his knowledge to younger folk; his teaching style is hands-on and supportive, giving his students his full attention. Magdalena Gamay, Textile Weaver Region 1- Ilocos Norte, National Living Treasure 2012 Magdalena Gamayo took up weaving when she was 16, guided by her aunt’s patterns. She received her first loom from her father three years later, which she would end up using for 30 years. She taught herself traditional patterns, such as kusikus (whirlwind), marurup (Milky Way), and sinan paddak ti pusa (cat’s paw print), 26  building on the more common inuritan (geometric design) and sinan-sabong (flowers). Gamayo’s skill and instinct are none more apparent than they are in her ability to replicate designs she’s only seen once. Eduardo Mutuc, Metalsmith Region 3 - Pampanga, National Living Treasure 2004 Having finished up to elementary school, Eduardo Mutuc, a farmer at the time, became an apprentice to furniture carvers to earn additional income. He had no prior knowledge of the work he was getting into, but this didn’t stop him from expanding his experience and becoming one of the most respected creators of religious and secular art today. He uses wood, silver, and bronze to create exquisitely detailed and lifelike pieces of varying sizes: altars, mirrors, retablos, and even carosas. Samaon Sulaiman, Musician ARMM - Maguindanao, National Living Treasure 1993 Musician Samaon Sulaiman was a master of the kutyapi, a two-stringed lute that requires highly technical skill to play. The Maganoy, Maguindanao native learned from his uncle, Pinagunay, at age 13, developing and learning different forms and styles of playing the instrument. The Sulaiman’s fascination for his craft led him to become an influential teacher. Haja Amina Appi, Pandan Mat Weaver ARMM – Tawi-Tawi, National Living Treasure 2004 Haja Amina Appi of Ungos Matata, Tandubas, Tawi-Tawi created intricate mats that boast beautiful geometric designs, vibrant colors, and fine symmetry. She experimented with her work and developed her own tints to create the hues she had in mind. Appi passed away in 2013, but her art lives on through her children and other young women in her community. 27  Federico Caballero, Chanter and Educator ARMM – Iloilo National Living Treasure 2000 Epic chanter Federico Caballero of Calinog, Iloilo was best known for his expertise in the Sugidanon, a Central Panay epic traditionally chanted.

Evaluates contemporary art forms based on the elements and principles 2. Interprets and relates the significance of art forms from the regions What I Know! As an artistic young Filipino, make a slogan that express your appreciation towards Philippine Contemporary Arts. What’s New! Let us study the how can we appreciate contemporary arts. Art Description In art viewing, viewers bring with them their knowledge of art, biases, and judgement of beauty. Describing an artwork, especially if its in the contemporary style, requires knowledge of art: its scope, principles and production and understanding of the artists and factors that affects the art-making. 32 Let’s Explore! Bryan H. Cabrera, "Consumed" Egdar T. Carreon, “Katawan at Kaluluwa" Oscar Floirendo, “Self-portrait" 33 Three Elements Subject Matter What is depicted by the artwork? What is the main figure in the artwork? How is the main figure placed within the artistic frame? How do the other figures in the artwork relate to the main figure? The Materials What mediums were used in the process of art-making? What are the materials or objects used by the artist? Do these materials bring out the intended effect of the artists? If the artist chose other materials, do you think the same effect will be achieved? Why and how? The Art Elements and Principles What are the dominant elements in the artwork? How are these used in the artwork? How does the artist use line to define shape and volume? How is spaced used within the artistic frame? What are the unifying features in the composition? What variations appear among repeated elements? How does the object appeal to the tactile as well as visual sense? Three Elements of Art Description The Subject Matter There are two figures in the sculpture., one higher (female) and the other, lower (male). They are attached to each other in an usual way, the male holding on to the foot of the female who is pulled upward by the balloons. Each figure has his/her one hand up in the air. The lower figure has his leg holding on to the staircase while the other leg is bent in the air. The female figure is in the same position. The Material Cacnio used brass for this sculpture. He has mastery in the use of this medium as shown in the figures’ big and small parts. We note that the torso is a mass that is welded smoothly. The fingers, although tiny, are done with precisions. The balloons are painted to add variety to the dominant color gold. The whole piece is standing on a rectangular Michael Cacnio’s, block which also bears the signature of the artist. “Balloons" 34  The Elements and Principles Perfect balance is achieved in the artwork. The weight of the two figures is supported by the two legs of the ladder which is standing freely and not attached to the wall. From the head of the higher figure down to her feet and on the torso of the lower figure is a straight line. Their arms on the air provide balance to the whole figure. There is a repletion of form as seen in the bended knees, arms and pointed feet. The head of the higher figure is bent while the head of the lower figure looks up, giving an impression that he is flying with her and both will soon be up. The figures are light despite the use of solid brass. They do not appear to be heavy, in fact, they project a floating effect. The artwork shows grace, as the figure seem to be dancing while being pulled upward. What’s In It! Read each item carefully. Encircle the letter of the correct answer. 1.

Identifies local materials used in creating art 2. Critiques available materials and appropriate techniques 3. Differentiate subject and theme in the interpretation of contemporary arts 4. Researches on techniques and performance practices applied to contemporary arts What I Know! List down at least 3 techniques in contemporary art and explain. 1. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 3. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ What’s New! Let us study the contemporary art techniques and local materials. What is medium? the material, or the substance out of which a work is made. The medium also defines the nature of the art form as follows: Examples The sculptor: metal, wood, stone, clay, and glass Architect: wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete, etc. Painter: pigments (e.g., watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink, etc.) On the basis of medium, arts can be classified as: Practical arts- have immediate use for everyday and business life (furniture and architecture) Environmental arts- occupy space and change in its meaning and function depending on their categories (installation and public art) Pictorial- painting, drawing, graphics, and stage and production design (lighting, dress, props, and set). Narrative- art based on stories (novel, fiction, nonfiction, music, drama, and dance) Dramatic- works that are staged and performed (drama, performance art, or music and dance) 37  Musical arts- include music, poetry (those that have perceptible rhythm and can be sung or danced to) Dance- accompanied by music Combined arts- integrated art forms (example: Rituals) What is Technique? manner which artists use and manipulate materials to achieve the desired formal effect distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique Examples: stone: chiseled; wood: carved; clay: modeled and shaped; metal: cast; and thread is woven. involves tools and technology, ranging from the most traditional, Examples: carving, silkscreen, analog photography, and filmmaking to the most contemporary Examples: (digital photography, digital filmmaking, music production, industrial design, and robotics) Medium and Technique in Contemporary Art become more and more integrated; works have crossed boundaries between art and science. based on digital and electronic technology, as well as reformulated traditional methods How will you know the full meaning of a work? “To know the full meaning of a work, it is also necessary to study the material from which it is made and how it is made” Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions If the traditional artists’ art consisted of portraits, landscapes, still life and human interest, mostly as naturally as possible, the contemporary artists’ artistic works are expressions of freedom, experimentation and exploration of patterns, figures, objects, and a combination of many things that are important to them. 38 Subject Matter connect subjects to their social milieu. The initial data: texts, images, allusions and symbols clue us in to the social and historical contexts referred to. Subject matter answers the question: “What do we see, hear, smell, taste, or touch?” “Using our senses is the initial step, this requires keen and diligent observation, not just of the image, but how it is presented and if there is no image, how the formal elements are deployed.” Rizal Monument of Jose Rizal The monument depicts its subject as a standing figure, clutching a book, perhaps symbolizing the importance that Rizal placed on education. Subject matter in contemporary art is not confined to representation of human figures and landscapes. The favorite subjects in contemporary art are children, women, or the environment. In some artworks, the subject matter is not easily recognized. If the artwork is an experiment of technique, the subject matter is the technique itself. In others such as those in conceptual art, the viewer has to engage in thinking and exploring the meaning of the artwork. Theme Connect subjects to their social milieu. Monument of Jose Rizal, our National Hero, The initial data: texts, images, allusions and which immediately clues us to symbols clue us in to the social and the themes of national historical contexts referred to. identity and heroism. It can be analyze by relating the subject to A theme is deeper and its purpose or meaning. The theme may broader and conveys vary and may depend on the highlighted something more universal. concepts in the artwork. 39  Goldie Poblador interprets this example (“Zero Plastic Bag and Styrofoam Campaign” ) by setting up an installation made up of 12 jars of waste and 12 jars of flora collected from the environment of Marikina.

Let us study the painting production. Beginnings: Painting Cave Paintings: Outlines of everyday made from the Earth. Egyptian Artists: New colors invented (greens & blues) on Papyrus. Medieval times: Illuminated manuscripts were developed on parchment & vellum. Brushes were made of natural hair. Tempera Paint was used. Renaissance: Fresco was used heavily before the invention of oil & varnishes. Canvas also began being used heavily. 19th century –introduction of collapsible tube paints and newer colors. 20th century – Smooth flat colors. Collage was added. Types of Painting Still Life A still life is an arrangement of objects. Common Still Life themes are flowers, fruit, vases, furniture and musical instruments. 42  Portrait Portraits are pictures of people. Group Portraits are pictures with several people. Self Portraits are pictures of the artist. Landscape A landscape is a picture of the outdoors. Landscapes can be pictures of oceans, mountains, lakes, cities, fields and farm land. Style Every art-making is dictated by the artist’s style. Style has many meanings. It can be art produced in a particular historical period. It can also refer to the art of a nation or a region. In addition, style can be a certain technical approach to the making of art.

Let us study the photography production. Photography The most accessible and manipulated art form Seeing beautiful photographs is good for the spirit and can make viewer appreciate people, things, and nature. It can reproduced, duplicated, and manipulated. Types of Contemporary Photography Nature Photography Photographs enable us to view landscapes, places, and objects that we may never encounter in our lifetime. Nature can be captured in its pure form. 52  Photography and Reality Photography can also present reality in its true form. If words can describe a scene, photography has the power to show it. Photographic Alteration Photography can also offer an illusion. “Photography creates an illusion of objectivity and factual authenticity as the most powerful instrument of information and education the world has ever seen”-- Feldman Mobile Photography Taking pictures using a mobile phone Techniques in Photography A. High Speed Photography It freezes moments in time that are too fast for the naked eye to see. The trick to this technique is a tripod, a narrow aperture, a flash, and a lots patience. 53 B. Night Photography It will need a super-slow shutter speed, and a tripod or solid surface to steady your camera for a long exposures. C. Motion Blur It is the art of capturing a moving subject. It is often used in sports photography. To capture motion blur, slow down your shutter speed, and hold your camera still as your subject moves. D. Black and White When done effectively, conveys deep emotion/drama. It starts with the composition, making use of shadows, lighting, and strong subjects to create powerful imagery. E. Macro Photography It’s exciting to make huge images that are tiny, capturing minute details that are invisible to the human eye. F. Panoramic Photography It is usually made by stitching several picture taken with the same camera into one. It involves using a tripod, and taking series of side-by-side photographs, and merging them together later on. 54 Photography Techniques and Tips (for street photography) Work the Scene Take multiple photos of the scene Use your Flash Try to use your flash to have your subject “pop” from the background Get eye contact “The eyes are the windows of the soul” Get close to your subject and keep clicking. Get low by crouching down and shooting your subject from a low angle, you make your subject look bigger than life. Fishing Technique Identify an interesting background, and wait for your subject to enter the frame. 55  Unguarded Moment The moment they forget the photographer, the camera and show a little bit of their soul. Photos taken by Eric Kim (International street photographer) from PetaPixel, 2016 Look for Lines/ Patterns/ Texture It will add more character and emotion into your photograph. Leading Lines You can pair this with the “fishing technique” Subtract from the Frame What you decide not to include in the frame is more important. You are left with essence of your image. Create Layers/ Depth Engaging photographs have more depth and complexity. Put your camera to manual focusing, and pre –focus to the background. Try to incorporate more subjects into your frame- foreground, middle ground and background. 56  What’s In It! Read each item carefully. Encircle the letter of the correct answer. 1.

Sculpture Process SUBTRACTIVE ADDITIVE material is removed or material is added part by carved out until the part until the desired form is desired form is visible completed 59 Modeling Modeled Sculptures are created when a soft or malleable material is built using armature and then shape. Additive process Pacita Abad by Julie Lluch, Iligan city Carving It involves cutting or chipping away a shape from a mass of stone, wood, or hard material. Subtractive process Jeepneys and Cars by Franco Cagayat, Laguna Casting When sculpture is formed using Terracotta clay, it is made permanent through plaster of paris. It is durable, can be transported and be duplicated. St. Ignatius Monument by Ed Defensor, Iloilo City Assembling Sculptors gather and put together different materials, including found objects to create an assembled sculpture. Additive process General Mariana by Josephine Turalba 60 Monolithic Sculpture It is carved in a slab of stone and is limited by material’s shape and size. (Prostrate by Lucell Larawan) Constructivism It makes the use of new materials such as [plastics, plexiglass, metal wire, etc., and allows a break from the figurative representation of sculpture. Russian artists who introduced this movement: Vladimir Tatlin, Naum Gabo, and Antoine Pevsner. Main traits of constructivism applied to sculpture: abstraction, transparency, interpenetration of sculptural form, overlapping of planes, and the employment of lines. Wrath of Nature by Wilson Valdemor Sculptural Assembling Abandon traditional techniques in sculpture Found objects are out together through a single method of attachment (welding).
