CPAR REVIEWER (1^st^ Quarter) **[Philippine Art Timeline ]** - Pre colonial/Pre conquest - Islamic - Spanish - American - Post War Republic (Japanese colonization - 70s - Contemporary **[CONTEMPORARY ART ]** contemporary art - art made and produced by artists living today. Contemporary artists may question traditional ideas of how art is defined, what constitutes art, and how art is made, while creating a dialogue with---and in some cases rejecting---the styles and movements that came before them viewers are challenged to set aside questions such as, "Is a work of art good?" "Is the work aesthetically pleasing?" Instead, viewers consider whether art is "challenging" or "interesting." **[Contemporary Art vs. Modern Art]** Modern art refers to art that began in the 1880s. Contemporary art describes the works of artists still living and creating artworks. Modern Art is revolutionary by its origin (antiromanticism), while Contemporary art is revolutionary for the freedom and magnitude of experimentation by the artists **Modern Art** is more self-expressive, while **Contemporary Art** pays attention to society, thus known for its social impact **Modern Art** is primarily made on canvases, while **Contemporary Art** is on every medium that you can think of -- video art, tech-enabled artworks, object design, graphical arts Modern art focuses on the subjective representation of the chosen themes, while Contemporary Art takes a strong stand on social, political and cultural aspects of the world **WEEK 2** **Contemporary Elements of Art** 1. Appropriation - appropriation is when an artist creates a new work of art by taking preexisting images from other sources and modifies and/or incorporates those images with new ones. 2. Time - Time is incorporated into an artwork when the meaning of the work is dependent on the passing of time. Artists today manipulate how moments of time are experienced through the viewing of their artwork. 3. Performance - Performance refers to artwork created by or presented to an audience. Performance as an element can also include the processes used by the artist to create the work. This takes place when the process used to create the artwork is more important than the finished work itself. 4. Hybridity - Artists use hybridity in their work through the blending of new or unusual materials with traditional mediums. The incorporation of these materials, such as recycled or industrial materials, plays an important role in the meaning of the artwork. 5. Perspective - Perspective (such as localized, forced, or anamorphic) in contemporary art refers to when an artist works with the real space surrounding the artwork itself. Perspective can play a role in the way the viewer looks at the ART. 6. Destruction - Destruction refers to when an artist uses methods to show damage in or to their artwork. Many times, this destruction is documented as a process, which, in return, becomes the work itself. 7. Text - Contemporary artists utilize text in their art to push past the concept that text is only meant to be read. The additional meaning from the text adds another level of depth that cannot be created by shape and color alone.
