1. Approaches in Researching Contemporary Art Techniques and Practices PREPARED BY MARY CRISH J. RANISES

2. Learning Objectives Describe approaches in researching for techniques and practices appropriate for contemporary arts. Integrate patience throughout the process of looking for potential technique and practice in making art. Devise a personal action plan for art technique selection and application.

3. Approaches in Researching Contemporary Art Techniques and Practices Contemporary artists rely on planning every step of their way to achieve desirable outputs. Concerned with the result of their efforts, they always try to connect their stories and experiences to the viewers and observers in all possible means. They also explore great deals from art supplies and distributors to satisfy their creativity. In the same way, there are those who are willing to learn new art processes, techniques, practices, and styles just to establish their own self-identification in the world of art.

4. Typical Approaches in Accomplishing Art Tasks 1 . Brainstorming In order to generate ideas on what to do and how to accomplish an artwork, one must know how to brainstorm. This step is effective in looking for central ideas that will most likely boost interest on the matter at hand. It will also provide direction for art making since this will kindle flexible thinking. 2. Researching about the task given Research fuels exploration. The more you explore, the more ideas you will gather. This is best for an artist to clarify what he/she really wants to accomplish. Thus, it simplifies choices and helps achieve proper understanding about the given task.

5. 3 . Deciding on what idea to materialize After gathering all inputs from brainstorming and researching, one must have arrived to his/her final choice. On this step, the artist must have acquired enough background or information about his/her target output. 4 . Creating a plan of action According to Benjamin Franklin, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” This solidifies one’s stand on planning for any task in contemporary arts. One way to reach success and achieve your goal is to create a solid plan of action. Likewise, a clear criteria and technique will empower one’s determination to accomplish the task. 5 . Making the task Finally , this step is the “doing” part. The artist can now materialize the plan that he/she has created. From the final idea to the final plan, he/she must strictly follow what he/she has set to do. Appropriate techniques, materials, styles, and other art elements must be applied as part of the art making process.

6. Approaches in Researching for Techniques and Performance Practices 1 . Cooperative Learning Approach Two heads are better than one. This idiomatic expression states that when two or more people share their ideas and work together, they are more likely to accomplish a specific task. In arts, one needs another in order to make things easily done. 2 . Focused Exploration This approach instructs artists to take advantage of what is present in front of their very eyes. It means that they explore the use of any medium available in their area based on their choice. At the same time, equip these local materials with suited technique or art practice.

7. 3 . Discussion The more you talk to people, the more relevant information you will gather. Young artists should lend an opening ear to people who have been in the field of arts for a long time. This entails open but healthy communication between and among artists regardless of their position, experience and mastery. 4 . Free Exploration This approach is tantamount to ‘learning/researching on your own’. More than experimentation, an artist like you possesses the full capacity to search on your own without any reservation. No one limits you to look for best artistic style and technique that can be acquired in improving your craft.

8. 5. Experimentation This is actually the core of contemporary arts. As an artist, you are not only limited to using the same technique or practice that you use before. Certainly, there is another door for discovering something new, unique, genuine, and distinctive. 6 . Media Analysis In the advent of modernization and industrialization, technology has greatly influenced innovation and development in the field of artistic expressionism. Consequently, various incorporations have been made in numerous contemporary art techniques and practices.
