Contemporary Arts vs. Modern Art
The main distinction between Modern art and Contemporary art is the time period in which they have existed. Modern art emerged in the late 1800s and continued to grow for more or less century. It slowly waned in the middle to late 20th century when postmodernism came to light. Postmodernism then gave birth to what we know now as contemporary art. This art exist up this day, and no one knws when a new period will arrive to veil contemporary art in its shadow.
The Subject of Art
Generally speaking, a subject or topic is any person, animal, thing, or issuethat is described or represented in a work. It usually generates the question, What is it? because people expect to see or hear subjects that they can recognize or are familiar to them. Subject are different from the theme or content; theme is the recurring idea or element in a work of art. The theme refers to the ideas, thoughts, and feelings of the artist.
Everything under the sun is considered a subject in the arts – from the simplest idea (e.g., happiness) or an object (e.g., a wine bottle) to the most complicated ones, like philosophical thoughts or dreamscapes.
In visual design, there are different ways or styles of depicting a subject. Get to know these styles through the works of art various Filipino Contemporary Artist.
Realism
The first style is realism in which the subject is done the way it actually looks. An example of this is the painting of Araceli Dans below.
Bridal White by Araceli Dans. 2014. Watercolor on paper
Distortion
The second is distortion wherein the artist uses his or hr imagination and alters the subject according to his or her desire. A stylized work is a form of distortion like Norma Belleza’s painting
Fiesta by Norma Belleza. 2012. Oil on canvas
Abstraction
The third is abstraction wherein the artist breaks apart a subject and rearranges it in a different manner. The paintings of the National Artist Vicente Manansala belong to this category.
Non objectivism The fourth style is nonobjectivism wherein there is totally no subject at all – just an interplay of pure elements like line, shape, or color, and so on. A good example of non- objectivism is the paintng by Roberto Chabet.
6. Texture – Texture is the surface of an artwork. A texture can be actual or tactile, meaning, it can really be felt by touch; or it can be simulated or illusory, which means it can only be seen, not felt.
These elements are the basic tools of expression in any art form. They can be found in nature and in a man-made environment. Artists use, arrange, and manipulate them to express feelings or mood and to convey their message to the viewers, listeners, or readers.
Contemporary art form Form The first key element that a spectator should consider in an artwork is its form.
Form is the surface feature of an artwork. It does not have anything to do with the art’s in-depth meaning. As the saying goes “What you see is what you get,”
The arts take up specific forms. In visual arts, forms can either be two- dimensuional such as drawings and paintings; or three-dimensional similar to sculpture, architecture, and the like. Form also exist in literature, ranging from prose, drama, to poetry. Theater, on the other hand, has four basic forms: tragedy, comedy, drama, and melodrama.
Architecture – is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing building or other structures.
Sculpture - It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculpture originally used carving and modelling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials.
Painting – is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface. In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action.
Literature – Most generically, is any body or collection of written work. Literature refers to writing considered to be an art form or any single writing deemed have artistic or intellectual value.
Music – is an art form, and cultural activiy, whose medium is sound.
Performing – refers to forms of art in which artists use their voices, bodies or inanimate objects to convey artistic expression.
Film – also called movie, motion picture or moving picture, is a visual art-form used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through that use of moving images.

It is the newest form of art, amusing people from the middle to the late 20th century yo to this very minute.
