 Module:1
LESSON Local Materials used in Creating Art

1
Material, or the substance are the things in which the art is made off. Through these
materials, the artists express and communicate feelings and ideas. Some contemporary
artists used found materials like old bottles, scraps, and unusual materials in creating their
artwork.
In Sculpture, the sculptor uses metal, wood, stone, clay and glass.
The architect uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete and various building materials.

The painter uses pigments (eg. watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink, etc.) on a
usually flat ground (wood, canvas, paper, stone wall such as in a cave painting.

The printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a surface (wood, metal, plates, or silk
screen that is in keeping with a duplicating or reproducing process. While paintings are
unique and one of a kind, prints can be reproduced in several predetermined editions.

Musicians use sound and instruments (including the human voice). A T’boli chanter sings
creation stories in a way that is different from a classical singer or pop singer influenced by
the Western music scale.

The dancer uses body and its movements. Dance is often accompanied by music, but there
are dances that do not rely on musical accompaniment to be realized. Dance can tell
stories, but at other times, they convey abstract ideas that do not rely on a narrative.

The theater artist integrates all the arts and uses stage, production design, performance
elements and script to enable the visual, musical, dance and other aspects to come
together as a whole work.

The photographer and filmmaker uses the camera to record the outside world. The filmmaker
uses cinematographic cameras to record and put together production design, sound
engineering, performance, and screenplay. In digital photography and film, the images can
be assimilated into the computer, thus eliminating the need for celluloid or negatives,
processing chemicals or print.

The writer of a novel, poetry, fiction and nonfiction articles uses words.
The designer, the performance artist, and the installation artist combine the use of a range
of different materials.
 The Philippines is rich in natural resources. From the mountain to the sea, we have
unlimited materials that can be used to create different artworks.
Various Local Materials in the Philippines Used for Arts and Craft

Abaca - belongs to a banana family. Its fibers have a natural luster with colors ranging
from pure white to ivory and dark brown.

Bamboo – is used in creating many products. It is used in construction, textile, musical

instruments and many more.

Buri – is extracted from matured leaves of

buri palm. The fiber is durable and resistant to moisture.
 Capiz shells- are translucent to allow light to pass through, but still allow privacy. The capiz comes
from the windowpane oyster (placuna placenta) found in the coastal waters of the Philippines and
are known for their beautiful mother of pearl look.

Rattan – belongs to the palm family. There are different types of rattan palms, such as high or
low climbers, single stemmed or clustered rattan species.
Sea Shells - hard exoskeleton of marine mollusks such as snails, bivalves, and chitons that
serves to protect and support their bodies. This material is usually used in making
ornaments and house decorations.

Contemporary Philippine
LESSON Arts from the Regions -Traditional Technique used in Creating Philippine

1
Art

Why are artists unique from each other? It is because of the technique being used or practiced by
the artist. Technique is the individual signature that makes each artist different or identifiable from
other artists.

Medium and technique in contemporary art have become more and more integrated, such that the
works have crossed boundaries between art and science, and between mediums and techniques.
The works are also using contemporary mediums and techniques based on digital and electronic
technology, as well as reformulated traditional methods.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Techniques and Performance Practices applied to Contemporary Art

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. research on techniques and performance practices applied to contemporary art;
2. identify the different techniques used in contemporary art.

Clue: Skill or ability

In the previous module, we discussed about the various local materials that our various artists
use to express their wonderful ideas. Today, we will learn a new lesson on how these local
materials become a beautiful work of art.

The following article illustrates the value of technique in the field of art. Read the article below and
answer the guide questions that follow.

The Importance of Technique

7/11/2017 9:31:48 AM by Mark Brockman

This post is by guest author, Mark Brockman. This article has been edited and published
with the author's permission.

The Pacific coast of Washington State, a cold grey morning, just ripe for pirates.
Technique, style, your look, whatever you want to call it is as individual as your signature.
Yes your paintings might look a bit like some other artist, and so long as it's not contrived,
that's OK. We all strive for originality but with so many artists out there it would be hard for
one artist's work to not, somewhere in the world, have their work resemble another artist's
work.

But just how important is Technique and how does an artist go about creating their
technique?

I believe Technique, the artist's style, is important. It lets viewers know that (insert artist's
name here) painted that painting. It helps us artists to have a cohesive body of work. That
doesn't mean though that your technique must stay the same your whole life. As we age,
we grow, we change, so whyshouldn't our work as well. Some artists have various
techniques at the same time, this is generally looked down upon by galleries and collectors,
but then maybe they lack imagination. I say an artist should paint what and how they paint
anyway they want at any given time. My paintings often look a bit different from each
other, not because of my using different techniques but rather because I use different
surfaces which my pastels and watercolors are painted on and that can give paintings a
different look as you often have to handle a medium a bit different on different surfaces.
Plus it's a given that an
oil painting would look different then a watercolor.

So how does one find or create their technique? You don't. You already have it, again, it's
like your signature. You don't need to find the technique, you need to recognize your style
and then nurture it. I spent years looking for my technique, years. Yes I learned a lot doing
so as I tried various ways of handling the many different media I have worked in. I tried
different schools of art, realism, Impressionism, abstract Impressionism, expressionistic
representationalism (say that five times fast) and even abstraction. I studied hundreds of
artists trying to paint like my favorite artist of the week. Again I learned a great deal. What I
learned most though, what was most important, was that I am who I am and I paint as I
paint.

Okay, now comes the hard part, recognizing what is your technique. In this I can only speak
for myself and how I finally realized my way of painting, and I am sure there are thousands,
perhaps millions of ways to do so. There were times I would do a painting and there would
be passages that seemed to beautiful for me to have painted them. No way I could have
painted that even if I tried. But I did! I didn't plan those passages, they just sort of
happened. They were what many artists call 'happy accidents' but maybe they are not
accidents at all but rather my technique trying to come out. When I realized that these
accidents were not accidents I began to build on them, nurture them, collect them, they
became my 'look'. Another aspect of my painting technique is lack of thought. Yes, you read
that correctly. You see when I think or analyze my painting as I paint I always screw the
painting up, it's a given.
But when I paint without analyzing, paint instinctually, I will have, not always, more
success. I believe my hand and gut know more of what to do than my brain, so I let them
have at it.

Technique, finding it or recognizing it can be difficult and frustrating. It's not unlike just
trying to learn to create in whatever medium you choose. To learn how to handle a
particular medium takes practice, many hours of trying. So finding and developing your
technique requires practice too. One needs to open their mind (or shut it off as I do), open
their heart, their emotions, to feel what is right, to let intuition take over, to listen to their
gut, let your hand(s) do the work, technique will come.

TECHNIQUES AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICES APPLIED
TO CONTEMPORARY ART

What is Technique?
Technique is the manner in which artist use and manipulate materials to achieve the desired formal
effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning, according to his or her personal style
(modern, Neoclassic, etc.)

The distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique. For example, stone is
chiseled, wood is carved; clay is modeled and shaped, metal is cast, and thread is woven.

There are some places in the Philippines that became famous because of the unusual or
extraordinary products that they make. These products become their way for the people to know
about their places. These people used traditional technique in creating a particular art that makes
them famous.

Traditional techniques used by the Filipinos even from the past years are depicted in our painting,
sculpture, dance, architecture, music, and even textile. It only proves that Filipinos like any other
people in the world can be very proud of our Philippine arts

Traditional Techniques Used in Philippine Arts

Wood Carving – a technique encompassing any form of working wood with a tool into some sort of
aesthetic object.
 Molding – a technique of shaping liquid or
pliable material such as clay. Traditional pottery making in the Philippines involves the method of
molding. Pottery making in the Philippines is one of the longest traditions in Philippine art.

Incised designs also appeared in the posts of Masbate. Among the finest of early Philippine pottery designs are footed
dishes that were decorated with geometric cut-outs, molding, cording or finger impressions, most of these were made in
Batangas. Pottery traditions continued to develop in certain locals, such as Burnay, unglazed clay pottery of Vigan.

Fabric Weaving - Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or
threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

Textile hand-weaving is one of the most attractive and interesting traditional crafts of the
Philippines, imbued with romanticism and laden with cultural significance
The Ilocano still practice hand-weaving using the pedal loom. Their materials are cotton and natural
dyes, although now they use store-bought threads and synthetic dyes. They know several weaving
techniques and designs, passed down to many generations.

“Abel” or “inabel” is a fabric customarily made of cotton fiber turned into spools of beeswax-
brushed yarn & woven in a handloom

Textiles in Mindanao are predominantly handwoven from abaca (musa textilis). Among the Moslems
of Mindanao, the Magindanaon, Maranaw and Yakan continue the tradition of cotton and silk
weaving.

T’nalak is a sacred cloth woven by the T'boli people in communities around Lake Sebu,
Mindanao island.
Basketry Technique - There are four different types of basketry methods: coiling, plaiting,
wickering, and twining. Some of the terms that are specific to basket weaving include loops,
twining, ribs, and spokes. The common raw materials used
in making baskets are rattan, abaca, nito, tikog, buri, bamboo, pandan, coconut leaves and sticks,
palm leaves, and beeswax. There are several baskets that use combined raw materials.
Coiled basketry, using grasses, rushes and pine needles
 Plaiting technique - interweaving or braiding two or more strands, fibers, etc.

Twining technique, using materials from roots and tree bark. This is a weaving technique where
two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross eachother as they weave through the
stiffer radial spokes

LESSON Contemporary Art
1
Contemporary art is often looked at with a skeptical eye. The truth about contemporary art
is that it uses techniques that most people are not quite used to which leads to skepticism. However,
these techniques are actually quite difficult, and all deserve our credit. It is an incredible feat to create
a piece of contemporary art, especially using these techniques. They challenge the mind and offer
unique perspectives in a way that art has never been able to do before. For that reason, they are
some of the most valuable techniques that a person can experience through artwork.

 As an artist, the contemporary art techniques and performance practices are just breaking the
conservative's rules.

"Contemporary art is the art of today", that could be the best definition. This kind of art
produced by artists who are living in 21st century.

Here are three techniques that are among the most relevant in contemporary art today

1. MINIMALISM

One of the artistic movements that has been most relevant throughout the contemporary
art movement is minimalism. Minimalism seeks to take away what is unnecessary and leaving only
what is essential.

Red Sky, 2007 5 Bottles, 1994

2. FOUND OBJECTS

Taking something that people view as useless, and then using it in a unique way to make
artwork is one of the most important movements that currently exist in contemporary. The idea is
that things that we often view as junk are more valuable than we think that they are. Everything you
find can be used to tell a story, or to create new diverse perspectives that we are looking for when
we attend an art exhibition.

Small PaddleFish by Stephen Palmer

The technique of putting different objects together to create three-dimensional art is called
Assemblage. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium.

3. LARGE-SCALE ART

Walter De Maria created an art piece in 1977 that included a four hundred steel poles over
one mile by one kilometer. That is incredible. Creating something huge to express diverse
perspectives in artwork is incredibly popular, even today. Over the past forty years, largescale art,
and art that includes the environment has come into its own as one of the most important
movements within contemporary art. That is why you often see modern art pieces alongside
buildings, or as huge structures out in the open.
