10. Abstract art originates from unnatural objects, such as geometric patterns, shapes, and formats. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color , and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Abstract Art

11. Almost all art is abstract art, if we take abstraction to be a process of drawing inspiration from the shape, color , and texture of objects. Artists have "abstracted" from the world around them since prehistoric times. But it was not until the early twentieth century that abstraction began to be explored as an end in itself. Abstract Art

However, in depicting the dreamlike imagery so common in Surrealist art, a number of techniques were devised by Surrealist painters to help capture the thoughts of the unconscious mind. Artistic Techniques in Surrealist Art

29. Frottage (rubbing a soft pencil or crayon over a textured surface, leaving remnants of the texture on the paper or canvas) Grattage (scraping the painted surface of canvas to generate a more visual texture) were techniques that created a partial, unfinished image, prompting the viewer to explore the missing details. But Surrealist artists were not confined to just one medium. Sculptures, painting, lithography, etching, film, photography, and other methods were all part of 1920s Surrealist art and continue to impact modern day artists inspired by Surrealism.

36. This lesson provides a more detailed discussion of Philippine Art History and its major periods, artists, and their works. While we recall the past in this lesson, it is also important to remember that the art of the so-called “past” continued and continues to evolve until the present and are therefore in that sense, “contemporary”. A BRIEF HISTORY OF PHILIPPINE ART

37. In art historical terms, we refer to art before the coming of the first colonizers as ”pre -conquest ”. In stylistic terms, we refer to it as “indigenous” to emphasize the idea that our ancestors have been making art even before colonization. I. Pre-conquest

38. It is also described in cultural terms as “pre-colonial” as a term to use for the general way of life before colonization. Although the terms are interchangeable, it is also useful to keep these distinctions in mind when studying the art of the past. I. Pre-conquest

39. Prior to colonization, art of the ancient Filipinos was woven into the fabric of everyday life. They do not refer to “art” as we do today. They did not distinguish forms into different categories like music, theater , visual arts, etc. II. Was there “art” before colonization?

40. Everyday expressions were all integrated within rituals that marked significant moments in a community’s life, like planting and harvesting, rites of passage, funerary ceremonies, weddings, among others. Aside from the communal functionality of indigenous art, creative forms such as pottery, weaving, carving, metalwork, and jewelry also embody aesthetic, technological, and ritual values that exist in various forms with the present.

41. The pre-colonial Filipino hunted food and game that were shared among members of a community in a gathering where they told stories about the hunt. They imitated the movement of animals and prey, and the sounds that they made. In this simple activity alone evolved ritual, music, dance, theatre and even literature.
