An art is always created with a technique. A technique is the way the

artist uses and manipulates the materials to express an idea or feeling
through an art. This lesson will discuss the traditional art techniques, their
descriptions, and applications to contemporary arts. This lesson will guide you
to easily identify the evident techniques used in the contemporary artwork.

B. Common Techniques in Contemporary Arts

There are three techniques that are commonly used today in

contemporary arts today.
1.Minimalism. This is an artistic movement that seeks to take away
unnecessary and leaving only the essential. The artworks that usually use
this technique use a well selected material that is indispensable in art
production.
2.Found Objects. This means taking something that people seem to find
useless and use it in a unique way in order to make an artwork. When
people seem to think that something must be thrown away as junk, it is
used to tell a story and create a diverse perspective that we are looking for.
3.Large-Scale Art. This is an art that accounts for the creation of
something huge to express diverse perspectives in artwork. This art is
created for public view.
II. Medium Used in Contemporary Art Forms
Often, artists will most likely use materials available to them. This
means that the resources their locality have is important for their art. The
“local” can refer to material that is easily available in the community. It can
be any materials such as woods, materials, paper that are easily produced
and available in the community. The local can also refer to wherever the
artist finds himself or herself.
In discussing the use of materials, it is important to discuss medium. A
medium is defined as the material or substance used to create an artwork.
Using these materials, the artists express his feelings or thoughts. The
medium used in each artwork varies based on the artists and their art
forms.
