surroundings, thus becoming its subject. The way the
colors are chosen and blended into the canvas accounts for
the medium of the painting.

the visual abstract. It may be created using different media such as chalk, charcoal,
graphite, ink, oil paint, and water color.
Sculpture
This is a three-dimensional artwork that may be created using stone, marble, wood,
and concrete.
Architecture
These are structures that meant to be used as shelter. The art of architecture relies on

 WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE ART?
According to Pennsylvania State University, Integrative art is a multidisciplinary
approach in the study of art using “vocational, scholarly, and creative interest in the arts and
design” within and outside the scope of traditional art practice. Integrative art is a learning
method that utilizes the fine and performing arts as principal pathways to education.
The objective of integrative art is to expand
people’s understanding of general subject area,
while simultaneously developing a larger extent of

Lesson 2: Art Noveoux: Art in Contemporary Times

WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY ART?

The J. Paul Getty Museum defines contemporary art as “art made and produced by
artists living today. Today’s artists work in and respond to a global environment that is culturally
diverse, technologically advancing, and multifaceted.”
Elements and principles of contemporary art
Appropriation
Appropriation happens when you used a particular artwork to produce another art
form. Figure 2.1 is an appropriated artwork since the
existing artwork of Johannes Vermeer was used in
producing another art form which considered as a
feature of contemporary art that combines the past
with the presents. By appropriation, the contemporary
artist revives interest to existing forms of art.

Fig. 2.1. Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is given a modern
take with the selfie.
Performance
Performance of contemporary artists has
evolved to “emphasize spontaneous,
unpredictable elements of chance,” according to
the Walker Art Center. Performance artists have
tried to interpret various human activities, from
ordinary such as chores, routines and rituals, to
socially relevant themes such as poverty,
commercialism, and war.
Fig. 2.2. An overview of the performance of Marina Abramovic who explores her physical and
emotional limits for her art.
Space
Have you encountered a flash mob or sculpture installation in malls and parks?
These are examples of site-specific art forms wherein the art form is performed and
positioned in a specific spot, especially in
public places. Figure 2.3 is an example of
this art.

Fig. 2.3. University students forming a star

to celebrate their institution’s centenary.

Hybridity
Contemporary artists are now innovative as ever. They may opt to use coffee for
painting or carve miniature sculptures using crayons.
 Fig. 2.4. A painting of a lovely woman using coffee as
medium.

Big Idea!
Hybridity in contemporary art is the mixing of
unlikely materials to produce an artwork.

Technology
Technology is a reality in the present-day world, and contemporary artists have used
technology in the creation and dissemination of works of art. When MTV first went into
the airwaves in 1981, video became part
of human interaction. Contemporary
artists have used video and the internet as
a way of propagating art.

society with citizens informed of their history, who love their
country and are proud of their cultural heritage.” The NHCP
carries out its mandate by promoting “Philippine history and
cultural heritage through research, dissemination, conservation,
sites management, and heraldry works.” History makes the

growth, citizenship building, lifelong learning and enlightenment.” The NLP is home to
rare books and documents such as Acta de la Proclamacion de la Independencia del Pueblo
Filipino and the manuscript of the trial of Andress Bonifacio.

The National Archives of the Philippines (NAP)

The history of the NAP goes back to the Treaty of Paris
in 1898 “which stipulated the relinquishment or cession of
documents from Spanish to American authorities and provided
for the preservation of documents.” Today, the National
Archives of the Philippines is guardian to over 400 documents
from Spanish era and various records from the American
period to the Republic.

Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF)

Lesson 7: The National Artists of the Philippines for Architecture

Philippine is unique in that it reflects its cultural heritage and the demand to adapt to its
environment. The bahay kubo, is a small one-room hut built using light woven materials, to
modern and stylish architectural designs that you usually see in urbanized area.

Big Idea!
Philippine architecture reflects the
country’s cultural heritage and need to
adapt to the environment.

Fig. 7.1. Nipa hut/Bahay Kubo

Fig. 7.2 Manila Cathedral in Intramuros

The architecture of the Philippines reflects its

history and tradition. Churches and mosques
across the country, as well as buildings in the
Fig. 7.3 Grand Mosque in Cotabato City
metropolitan and rural areas have risen in
response to the growing demands of the Filipinos. Moreover, the country is home to the best-
preserved planned Spanish-colonial town in Asia. During the 300 years of Spanish colonization,
architecture in the country was subjected to Spanish influences. The friars built several grand
churches all over the country that continue to stand today.

There are many Filipino architects who normally do not get the admiration unlike other
artists. Nevertheless, their talents have immeasurable effect on all of us in the long term. The
following are the best Filipino architects that paved the way for creative design and have become
leaders in this form of artistry.

heavy is unparalleled with other artists. The CCP Complex with all
five buildings—the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Folk Arts
Theatre, The Philippine International Convention Center, the Phil-
CITE, and the Westin Hotel are all created to Locsin’s unequalled

Lesson 10: The National Artists of the Philippines for Dance

B.E.S. Villaruz states that, the diversity of Philippine dances, “as manifested in different
dynamics and forms, grew out of the various contexts and experiences of the people.” This
explains how the movement and choreography are based on the different environments in the
archipelago.
One of the oldest dances in the Philippines is the Tinikling,
derived from the movement of the tinikling bird as it wanders on
grass stems and crushes several branches of trees. Dance performers
skip gracefully back and forth while trying to avoid getting their feet
caught by two bamboo poles. Other popular dances in the country
are the following: Binasuan, Carińosa, Pandanggo sa Ilaw, and
Maglalatik.
The Carińosa is another well-liked dance in the country, a
courtship dance derived from the Spanish words that means “the
loving or affectionate one.” It is closely associated with the Panay

Lesson 14: National Living Treasure: Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan

upon himself an incessantly record of the ambahan poetry by the use
of bamboo tubes and old, dog-eared notebooks passed on to him by
family and friends. It is sung and contains various messages ranging
from advice, to courtship, and to farewell. Today, this art has
remained in existence because of the brilliance of the Filipino artist
Ginaw Bilog. His contribution to Philippine art is through the
preservation of this ancient form of literature.

write. He makes every effort to dispense justice in the society through
his work as a manughusay—an intermediary of conflicts. Fig. 14.2. Federico
Caballero

NATIONAL LIVING TREASURES FOR PERFORMANCE

Most of the country’s performing arts (dances, songs, and dramatic performances) are
heavily influenced by the Spanish and American colonizers. Various tribes and indigenous
groups are still using ancient musical instruments in performing rituals. Despite the threats of
media and globalization, Filipinos still perform folk dances and songs as part of exercising their
cultural identity and heritage. The National living treasures Award or the Gawad sa Manlilikha
ng Bayan recognizes Filipinos who show distinctive skills and have achieved exceptional artistic
excellence.

Here are some of notable Filipinos privileged to receive this very important award for their
outstanding skills and talents in performing arts.

 NATIONAL LIVING TREASURES FOR CRAFTS

Almost every Filipino appreciates the colorful and intricate tapestry and textiles that are
hung in homes, grand hallways, and lobbies. There are many handicraft products found in our
home such as baskets, brooms, and bamboo sofa sets. There are also women who wear
beautifully crafted earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and other accessories made using native
products such as beads, shells, and seeds. Many tourist destinations showcase traditional crafts
for local and foreign tourists.
Here is the list of National Living treasures for crafts.

young age of 12. She was famous for using traditional Filipino
materials such as abaca fibers weaved into T’nalak cloth. Her
artistic designs inculcated with the rich history of the country
have made her a national living treasure. She is widely known Fig. 14.7. Lang Dulay

Lesson 15: Philippine Popular Art

Philippine popular art is the art that is

followed or accepted by the Filipino masses. Big Idea!
Most of the art forms that the general public The masa or the common people
consumes and advocates are those that are for are the primary consumers of
entertainment such as songs, dances, telenovelas, Philippine popular art.
and movies. Philippine popular art is around you:
listen to the chart-topping music hit, watch the latest dance craze, or view several box-office
hits.

LITERATURE
The komiks is said to be one of the most read forms of literature in the country. Serialized
komiks have brought to life memorable characters of heroism and goodness in the works of Mars
Ravelo’s Darna, Dyesebel, Captain Barbell, and Carlo J. Caparas’s Ang Panday. For many
decades, these iconic characters have been portrayed in television and film. Comic Strips have
also entertained many Filipinos in years with the humor and wit of Pol Medina’s Pugad Baboy
and Washington Young’s Pupong.
Romance novels have also been proliferated in paperback editions in many bookstores
nationwide which have acquired millions of readers. These love stories were published by local
companies and have been adapted as TV series. Wattpad also came out as a platform for aspiring
Filipino writers in publishing stories for the readers. Some of these stories have been turned into
movies and TV series such as Diary ng Pangit, She’s Dating the Gangster, and Talk Back and
you’re Dead.

MUSIC
Original Pinoy Music or OPM, is a strong force in Philippine arts. The musical prowess of
Filipinos shines bright in the country’s local music scene. From traditional harana, OPM is still
dominated by balladeers that show our romantic inclinations. Filipino pop music has tried to
mimic foreign musical genre, and even made RnB as now part of Filipino music.

DANCE
Dance is an important social activity in the Filipino community. Fiesta is not complete
without a morning parade or caracol and the bayle. Filipinos dance crazes have foreign origins
such as the “Macarena” and “Gangnam Style” but still invented own dance moves such as
“Spaghetti Dance” and “Otso-otso.” Filipinos have created many dance groups that are known
nationwide such as Jabbawockees, El Gamma Penumbra and many more.
MOVIES
Most of the Filipino movies being produced today are romantic comedies, comedies, drama
and horror films. Rom-coms are staples featuring popular love teams such as Kim Chiu and Zian
Lim, Vice Ganda for comedies and KathNiel for dramatic love stories. Shake, Rattle and Roll
series is also a popular horror movie in the Philippines.

Lesson 16: Philippine Independent Cinema

The year 1977 was the birth of Philippine Independent Cinema. The Experimental Cinema
of the Philippines was created through Executive Order No. 770 in 1982. These was created to
promote the local film industry.
Independent or indie films are a break from mainstream, highly budgeted productions of
established movie production companies such as Star Cinema and Regal Films. These films are
characterized by their unconventional narratives, experimentation on style and unconventional
genre of film. Kidlat Tahimik’s film, Mababangong Bangungot (Perfumed Nightmare) is
considered Philippine cinema’s first independent and experimental film.

AWARD-WINNING FILMS
Many Filipino-made indie films have been harvesting worldwide recognition. Below are
the films of Brillante Mendoza which have been continually making waves in various
international film festivals.
