INCORPORATE

CONTEMPORARY
CHARACTERISTICS
TO ONE’S CREATION
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS
• THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURE OF
CONTEMPORARY ART IS THE FACT THAT IT HAS NO
DISTINCT FEATURE OR A SINGLE
CHARACTERISTIC. IT IS DEFINED BY THE ARTIST’S
ABILITY TO INNOVATE AND BRING OUT A MODERN
MASTERPIECE.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS
1. INNOVATION IN ART
 FROM THE MEANING OF CONTEMPORARY, CONTEMPORARY
ART IS AN ART THAT IS LIVING IN PRESENT TIMES. IT REFLECTS
CURRENT ISSUES OR CURRENT EVENTS. SO, FROM TIME TO TIME
IT CHANGES ALONG WITHTHE SOCIETY. IT COULD SOMETIMES
BREAK THE RULES OF TRADITIONAL ART, CREATED BY MODERN
HUMANS.
CHANGE IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF HUMANITY, STILL,
ART REMAIN AS PART OF LIVING.
Collage art is an example of
innovation that proved
to be a great example of modern
contemporary art.Likewise, mixed
forms of assemblage, different
variants of kinetic art as well as
different categories of
photography,animations and land
art are a result of bringing together
newer ideas.
HERE ARE SOME CONTEMPORARY ART
WORKS THAT REFLECTS THE SOCIETY.
Hangarin (Aspiration/Goal) is a
depiction of the passionate
Filipino interest in sports,
especially basketball. The game is
part
of daily life for young men in
particular, who enjoy its physicality
and community appeal. In a dynamic,
well observed work, Garibay

In the crowded complexity of a
street festival, so much a part
of the rhythm of Filipino
community life, we see the
signs andsymbols of faith and
begin to look for the figure of
Christ.

Humorous and chaotic image comes a
more complex work entitled Corpus
Christi, a meditation on the meaning of
Christ in culture. The painting offers
multiple perspectives and invites the
viewer to circumnavigate it like a
mapmakeror explorer.

2. USING NEW MATERIALS
ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC THAT WAS EMPLOYED TO
BRING ABOUT MODERN ART WAS THE EMPLOYMENT OF
DIFFERENT OBJECTS, MATERIALS THAT LOOKED USELESS
TO THE COMMON MAN BUT WERE BROUGHT TO GREAT USE
BY MODERN ARTISTS. THE MEANS OR INSTRUMENTS TO
MAKE THE WORKS OFCONTEMPORARY ART ARE CHANGING
AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED DAY BY DAY.
• FOR INSTANCE, PAINTERS USED PIECES OF NEWSPAPERS AS A
BACKDROP TO THEIR CANVASES AND CREATED
MASTERPIECES OF MODERN ART FROM IT. IT WAS
UNPRECEDENTED TO USE SOMETHING LIKE A NEWSPAPER IN
A PAINTING. SIMILARLY, SCULPTORS USED PIECES OF JUNK
TO PRODUCE WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS JUNK ART. ALSO,
COMMON ITEMS LIKE CARS, CHAIRS, BOXES HAVE BEEN
USED MASTERFULLY TO CREATE ASSEMBLAGES.
• SOME SCULPTORS AND OTHER ARTISTS WHO WORK IN
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEDIA, PAINTERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS,
VIDEO, AND INSTALLATION ARTISTS. THEY MAKE USE OF
MATERIALS AND MEDIA SUCH AS WOOD, PAPER, PAINT, MILK,
HERE ARE SOME CONTEMPORARY ART WORKS
THAT USED NEW MATERIALS.

3. USE OF COLOR
 TRADITIONALLY, COLOR WAS USED AS MEANS TO
BRING REALITY TO PAINTINGS AND ART PIECES.
HOWEVER, MODERN ARTISTS EXPERIMENTED WITH
COLORS AND USED IT UNCONVENTIONALLY TO MAKE
NEWTEXTURES AND THEMES AND USED THEM IN THEIR
PIECES OF ART. THE COLORS USED ARE STRONG AND
THECONTENT IS SYMBOLIC.
• COLOR IS OFTEN ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING COMPONENTS OF A
PAINTING. IN BOTH FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT PAINTING, COLOR
CAN BE USED FOR ITS DECORATIVE BEAUTY, TO CREATE MOOD AND
TO EXPRESS OR AROUSE AN EMOTION. IN NATURE AND IN ART,
COLOR HAS A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE VIEWER.
• COOL COLORS, WHICH IS BASED ON BLUE UNDERTONES, BRING A
CALMING EFFECT TO THE MIND. THESE COLORS RANGE FROM
COLD ICY BLUES TO WARM AND NURTURING MEDITERRANEAN
TURQUOISES. BLUE REPRESENTS DEPENDABILITY. WARM COLORS,
WHICH IS BASED ON YELLOW UNDERTONES, TEND TO CONVEY
EMOTIONS RANGING FROM HAPPINESS TO VIOLENCE. RED,
ORANGE, AND YELLOW COLORS TRIGGER HUNGER. RED
INSTANTLY ATTRACTS, MAKES PEOPLE EXCITED AND INCREASES
THE HEART RATE.
Two watercolor paintings showing warm and
cool colors. The warm painting on ther ight is
predominately shades of orange and yellow.
The cool painting on the left is predominately
blue and green. These two paintings serve as
demonstrations of how different he feelings
are between the color temperatures. As an
example, expressionism was mostly based on
the vibrant and expressive use ofcolors as a
tool to innovate their paintings. Expressionist
art tried to convey emotion and
meaning rather than reality. Each artist had
their own unique way of "expressing" their
emotions in their art. In order to express
emotion, the subjects are often distorted or
exaggerated.

OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS
4. NEWER TECHNIQUES
MODERN ART IS NOT ONLY ABOUT PLAYING AND
EXPERIMENTING WITH COLORS AND OBJECTS, RATHER
IT HAS ALSO GIVEN BIRTH TO NEWER TECHNIQUES THAT
FORM THE BASIS FOR CONTEMPORARY ART TODAY.
ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
IS A STYLE OF ART THAT HAS MEANT ONE OF
THE MAIN MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT OF THE
20TH CENTURY. IT EMPHASIZES THE EXPRESSIONS
OF THE SELF AND EMOTIONS. THE COLORS ARE
MORE VIOLENT, AND THE CONTENT HAS A
SYMBOLIC TINT.
• CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY
IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A TECHNIQUE THAT WAS
DEVELOPED BY JULES CHERET.
CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY IS A UNIQUE METHOD FOR
MAKING MULTI-COLOR PRINTS. A CHROMOLITHOGRAPH
IS MADE USING ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT TO FORTY
STONES, ONE FOR EACH COLOR. THE CHROMIST, WHO
SPECIALIZED IN BREAKING DOWN THE COLORS NEEDED TO
RE-CREATE THE PAINTING IN INK, WOULD DOCUMENT THIS
PROCESS IN A PROGRESSIVE PROOF BOOK, SO THAT THE
IMAGE COULD BE RECREATED EASILY AGAIN IF NEEDED.
• ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC OF CONTEMPORARY
ART IS THAT IT IS AVANT-GARDE AND
SURREALISTIC.
• SURREALISM WAS FOCUSED ON TAPPING INTO THE
UNCONSCIOUS MIND TO RELEASE CREATIVITY.
• SURREALISTICART IS CHARACTERIZED BY
DREAM-LIKE VISUALS, THE USE OF SYMBOLISM,
AND COLLAGE IMAGES.
• FAUVISM COMPRISES THE FIRST OF THE
EXPRESSIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART.
• ITS NAME REFERS TO A GROUP OF FRENCH
PAINTERS WHO IN 1905 FILLED THE PARIS AUTUMN
SALON WITH WORKS.
• THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FAUVISM ARE
AGGRESSION IN THE USE OF COLORS
(BASICALLY PRIMARY,COMPLEMENTARY ALONG
WITH GARISH TONES) AND THEIR AUTONOMY IN
RELATION TO SHAPES.
