CONTEMPORARY ARTS QUARTER 4 LESSON 1.pptx

Contemporary Arts in Regions. The different arts from contemporary period until modern arts. Classifications of the different contemporary arts from different regions.

1. What Makes Contemporary Art Different from Modern Art?

2. Contemporary Art is • Art produced after 1945. This is the definition believed by most museums when defining their collections of contemporary artworks. However, most art historians now consider this to be outdated. • Art produced in our era or lifetimes. This agrees with the definition of "contemporary" used by general historians, but it's too vague for our purposes. • Art produced since the 1960s. This definition is the one most commonly used by art critics, but disagreement persists as to the exact cut-off date. Is it 1964, for instance, or 1968, or 1969?

3. Renaissance art established the basis for Western art after the Medieval era. Renaissance ideas and rules were disseminated across Europe through various Academies of Fine Arts. These academies taught art according to an unvarying set of canons, which artists had to follow in order to earn a living. By the early 19th century, this academic approach had ceased to be relevant.

4. Modern Era. It was Edouard Manet in the early 1860s along with the French Impressionists, whose revolutionary subjective style of painting ushered in the era of Modern Art. This period witnessed a succession of modern art movements - including Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Op-Art, to name but a tiny few. During the 1960s, however, this optimism among artists began to fade, and it is this loss of optimism which marks the beginning of Postmodernism and the emergence of Contemporary Art.

5. One of the most significant artists in South East Asian art history, Fernando Amorsolo was known as the master of Phillippine landscapes.   Harvesting Rice  showcases Amorsolo’s famous mastery of light. Educated in the classical tradition, the use of chiaroscuro was perhaps Amorsolo’s greatest contribution to the development of Philippine painting. Philippine sunlight was a constant feature of Amorsolo's work, and he is believed to have painted only one rainy scene in his career. A smiling woman, radiant with the Philippine sun shining upon her back, approaches a man kneeling in the paddy field, her shadow offering him temporary respite from the heat. In the background oxen graze peacefully, and white clouds drift overhead. The impressionistic scene is thrown into sharp relief by the intense sunlight, highlighting the drapery of the woman’s skirt and the sinuous musculature of the paddy field worker.

6. Contemporary Era Contemporary art movements focused on "how" art was created and disseminated, rather than "what" was produced. They emphasized ideas and concepts rather than precious objects and the skills needed to make them. In their attempt to popularize and broaden access to visual art, they introduced (or refined) a series of new art forms, such as Conceptualism, Performance, Happenings, Installation, Earthworks, Projection art, and in the process took full advantage of new media like video, computers and digital technology.

7. Leading the pack is “Fishermen” by Ang Kiukok , which he painted in 1981. At 40 x 80 inches, it is the biggest easel painting of the master to enter the market to date. Owned by an art patron who has bequeathed the painting to his philanthropic organization, whose main vision is to help young artists find their place in the art world, the work also signals the maturation of the auction market of the country, given that the owner could have chosen to send the work to an international auction house where an Ang Kiukok remains to be bluechip . Today, no one doubts the robustness of an auction house such as Leon Gallery to deliver: it is expected to fetch at least fourfold of the low price estimate of P12 million. If the work just fetches a hammer price of P20 million, it will still be the most expensive Ang Kiukok painting ever. Ang Kiukok’s “Fishermen” 1981

8. Google and Explore. Visit the local art gallery in your area. You will discover more artsy masterpieces at your Provincial Capitol or private museums. Learn the Basics. Understand the rules of creating a visual art. Learning the basics of drawing, such as pen-stroke techniques, shading and drawing with perspective, will set you on your path. That way, when your own style starts to emerge, you'll have the skills to back it up. Be Inspired. Let's be clear: Plagiarism is a crime. But when you're just starting out, copying other artists just for practice stretches your skills as you explore your own ways of expressing yourself. What might start out as mimicking can evolve into a style that's uniquely yours. Flex Your Art Muscle. Learning how to draw is like working out: If you want to be fit, you need to exercise regularly. Daily drawing practice will strengthen your skills and bring out your style.

9. Leave the Comfort Zone . If you are a fan of line drawing or fond of using charcoal, start exploring other medium like water color or mixed media (a combination of everything you wish to use in your artwork). Clear the Canvas. Mistakes do happen. When things didn’t turn out the way you expect to, you can always clear the canvas and start from zero. Draw the same thing again and again. Whether you're drawing wildflowers or a specific character you're obsessed with, your personal style will start peeking out.

10. Seek the inner voice . Even if you start out a drawing with a certain idea in mind, give yourself the freedom to change course. Pause for a minute, and be honest about what's working and what's not. Often, that little voice that says "Stop now" or "Draw a row of flowers here" is your personal style trying to be heard. Turn up the volume. Evolve . Now that you pick a style that is artistically comfortable for you, you will be tempted to stick with it forever and ever. That may be great for some artists, but many others develop their styles over time. See where your instincts lead you. Continue to evolve in style, colors and in your subjects. Stick to it. Sometimes you might get frustrated and this piece of artwork is going nowhere, don’t give up. It’s totally normal to feel that especially for beginners like you. For some people, developing a personal style will come quickly and naturally; for others, it can take lots of time and experimentation. And you might have more than one style in you. Stick with the process. Over time, you'll see results. Promise.
