To appropriate, an artist adopts, borrows, or recycles the usage of prints, images, and icons to produce another art form. It is a feature of contemporary art that combines the past with the present .      "TEAM MANILA JOSE RIZAL BAG" by Michael Francis McCarthy

5. Hybridity In an information society, the movement of ideas and people is faster and wilder. The cultural dynamics of today’s society have presented new challenges to the existing standards in the art world.

Hybrid art uses unconventional materials and mixes unlikely materials to produce artwork. “HUPA” Brandon Braza 12x6 inches oil on found wood and objects, 2020

7.   Space Jeff Koons “Balloon Dog" Art forms that are performed and positioned in specific spots such as public places. Using Space in Art, The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said that "Space is the breath of art." What Wright meant was that unlike many of the other elements of art, space is found in nearly every piece of art created. Painters imply space, photographers capture space, sculptors rely on space and form, and architects build space. It is a fundamental element in  each of the visual arts .
