This is the self-learning module for Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions, Quarter 2, Module 9: Different Contemporary Art Techniques and Performance. It was made by DepEd National Capital Region under the Alternative Delivery Mode (First Edition, 2020), and the module says it is meant for Senior High School Grade 12 students who can study on their own.

What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Research on the techniques and performance practices applied to contemporary arts (CAR11/12 CAP-0c-e-10)
Along the way, the module helps learners:
- Recognize how traditional Filipino art techniques are applied in contemporary art

- Understand what a medium is and classify art forms by their medium
- Appreciate locally available materials and how they reflect the way of life of a region
Lesson 9: Techniques and Performance Practices Applied to Contemporary Arts
The module has one lesson. It starts from the idea that the Philippines is rich in natural resources, and that Filipino artists use these, along with recyclable materials such as plastic straws, bottles, and old newspapers, to express ideas, feelings, and ways of life.
Two key terms run through the lesson:
- Technique: the way an artist uses and manipulates materials to express an idea or feeling through art.
- Medium: the material or substance used to create an artwork. Artists often use what is available to them, so local materials matter. “Local” can mean materials easily found in the community, or wherever the artist happens to be.
Traditional techniques applied to contemporary arts
| Traditional art | Where it comes from | Contemporary application |
|---|---|---|
| Puni: decorating by folding leaf fronds, of Malayan origin | Bulacan | Straw folding; origami (from Japanese ori, folding, and kami, paper) |
| Singkaban: a decorated bamboo arch that welcomes visitors with the name of a town | Malolos, Bulacan | Bamboo art: cleaning, cutting, peeling, splitting, stripping, or weaving bamboo; incising, burning, carving, and dyeing for detailed designs |
| Saniculas: cookies with the imprint of San Nicolas de Tolentino, the miracle healer in Pampanga’s local legend | Pampanga | Polvoron molder and similar kitchen molds |
| Pabalat: pastillas wrappers, now a popular art | San Miguel, Bulacan | Packaging, from simple to decorated designs |
| Taka: paper maché shaped on a carved wooden mold | Paete, Laguna | Paper maché using molds and glue |
| Pagbuburda (embroidery): fine, delicate, embossed, colorful patterns | Taal, Batangas and Lumban, Laguna | Stitching, loom bands (rainbow looms), and nylon bracelets |
Three common techniques in contemporary art
- Minimalism: removes what is unnecessary and keeps only the essential, using well-selected materials.
- Found objects: takes things people think of as junk and uses them in a unique way to tell a story or offer a new perspective.
- Large-scale art: creates something huge, usually for public view.
Art forms classified by medium
| Classification | Description | Examples of medium |
|---|---|---|
| Musical | Rhythm, sound, instruments, human voice | Musical instruments, body and movement, stage design, script |
| Practical | Art with immediate use in daily life | Cement, bamboo, wood, bricks, stone, metal, clay, glass |
| Environmental | Art that occupies space, such as installations and public art | Wires, junk, recycled materials |
| Pictorial | Shapes, pictures, and graphics | Camera, negatives, processing chemicals, prints |
| Narrative | Based on a story | Language |

B. Common Techniques in Contemporary Arts
There are three techniques that are commonly used today in contemporary arts today.
Minimalism. This is an artistic movement that seeks to take away unnecessary and leaving only the essential. The artworks that usually use this technique use a well selected material that is indispensable in art production.
Found Objects. This means taking something that people seem to find useless and use it in a unique way in order to make an artwork. When people seem to think that something must be thrown away as junk, it is used to tell a story and create a diverse perspective that we are looking for.
Large-Scale Art. This is an art that accounts for the creation of something huge to express diverse perspectives in artwork. This art is created for public view.
II. Medium Used in Contemporary Art Forms
