Developmental Activities
ABSTRACTION
oVideo Presentation: Local Materials Used in Contemporary Arts o Discussion
of the topic:
Material is what the artwork is made of. It can also be a combination of objects used in the
artwork.
Contemporary artists salvage materials that can be recycled and made into creative forms.
They can make artworks that combine structure and wood and interact with the wind to make
music.
Some artists combine indigenous materials with textile and mount these on a painted flat
surface. Paper as an art medium is also explored by artists.
In outdoor sculpture, there is a lot of use of brass welded together and mounted on concrete.
Wood and glass are used for indoor sculpture. Found objects are combined and are covered
with resin.
Painting is no longer confined to canvass hung on the wall. They can also be found on
ceilings and floors. Some are done outdoors. Many local artists lead the community or
students in painting murals on walls to make a more pleasant environment and raise
consciousness towards environmental protection.
In architecture, there is an extensive use of glass and steel. Color combination is either
complementary or strong contrasting, such as orange and blue, red and white.
In performance art, artists use variety of props such as rope, plastic, textile, and found
objects. Paint is also used in body art.
Welding is also used for fabrication and building structure. This requires physical strength
and special tools. Some materials have chemical components that are hazardous to the
health such as resin, acid and fiberglass.
The availability and variety of materials and the possibilities offered by technology expand
the choices of artists. This is essential to the development of contemporary art.
o At the end of the discussion, the students will be asked about their learning on the
discussion.
APPLICATION
The teacher will ask the students to make their own contemporary art using one type of
material they were ask to bring.
Instruction:
1. Choose one type of material and gather different types and forms of the material:
For example, if you want shells, there should be different kinds, sizes, color, and shapes
of shells. If you choose dried leaves, there should be a variety of leaves. Cut bamboo
sticks are also good to use if they are available.
3. Procedure:
a. Use either the white or the black side of the illustration board.
b. Using a pencil, plan the composition or arrangement of your objects ormaterials. Do you
want these to form a triangle in the middle, perhaps put the similar colored items on one
side, or maybe form an 8 form across the board?
c. Put the objects on the desired places and see how they relate to each other. Isthere a focal
point? Do the smaller pieces surround the focal point? What do you put in the
background? Do the colors complement each other? Is there variety, at the same time
unity of forms?
d. When you are pleased with the arrangement of objects on your board, you are ready to
mount them. Pour some glue on a container and mix it with water, just enough to reduce
the thickness of the glue. Using a brush, put glue on the board and affix the objects on
their assigned space. When all of the objects are in place, put one more layer of glue over
the entire board, now with objects mounted on it. You can use the brush to do this.
e. Leave your artwork to dry. When dry, you can cover it with a layer of clearvarnish to make
it a bit shiny.
IV. EVALUATION
In a 1/4 sheet of paper, identify what local materials were used as shown in the pictures.
V. ASSIGNMENT
Instruction:
1. Search the Internet for artworks by Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan, Pacita Abad, or Impy Pilapil.
Choose one artwork that you like.
2. Study the materials that the artist used for the artworks. Note how he/she put together the
materials to form an art piece. Then answer the following questions:
Describe the artwork.
What is the subject matter of the artwork?
What materials are used in the artwork?
What are the dominant colors?
How do the size of the repeated elements vary?
How is texture used?
Is it beautiful?
Why do you think so?
