Elements of Contemporary Arts
1. 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.
3. Hybridity - Artists use hybridity in their work through the blending of new or unusual materials with
traditional mediums.
4. Space- Artists use space for creating the illusion of space or depth upon a flat surface. They use the
effects of one point perspective and/or light and shadow to create this illusion—or they may purposely
distort these elements to make abstractions.
Modern art
-Characterized by the artist's intent to portray a subject as it exists in the world, according to his or her
unique perspective and is typified by a rejection of accepted or traditional styles and values
Postmodern art

emerged or developed in its aftermath.

involving video are described as postmodern.
Contemporary Art

consider current ideas and rethink the familiar.
-The work of contemporary artists is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects
that challenges traditional boundaries and defies easy definition.
-Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform organizing principle,
ideology, or – ism.

successor to modern art.
The arts of the Philippines reflect a society with diverse cultural influences and traditions.
The Malayan peoples had early contact with traders who introduced Chinese and Indian influences. Most
modern aspects of Philippine cultural life evolved under the foreign rule of Spanish and the Americans.
The cultural movements of Europe and the United States profoundly influenced Filipino artists, even after
independence in 1946.
A. LITERATURE
The indigenous literature of the
Philippines developed primarily in the oral tradition in poetic and narrative forms. Epic poems, legends,
proverbs, songs, and riddles were passed from generation to generation through oral recitation and
incantation in the various languages and dialects of the islands. The epics were the most complex of these
early literary forms. Most of the major tribal groups developed an original epic that was chanted in episodic
segments during a variety of social rituals. One common theme of the epics is a hero who is aided by
benevolent spirits. The epics that have survived are important records of the ancient customs of tribal
society before the arrival of Islam and Christianity.
