Lesson 3: Contemporary Art Forms

The arts are classified in distinct forms: music, dance, theatre, visual arts, literature, film and
broadcast arts, and architecture, design and allied arts. However, the arts in the regions have
evolved and taken a new form. The arts have combined to create integrative art. There is now
an interconnection among the arts, resulting in the combination of arts.
Contemporary art forms in the regions now include choreography, musical instruments, literary
and music composition, visual design, theatrical performance, cinema.

1. Choreography – is an arrangement or design for dance movements usually


accompanied by music. It is the art of dancing that is composed of a series of dance
steps and movements to create a story. It has become in integrated art because it
incorporates both dance and music.
2. Musical Instrument – a musical instrument is any tool or device that produces sound. It
consists of an array of shapes and styles from simple to the complex. Integration of arts
is seen through the intricate designs of musical instruments, representing visual arts;
and their function, which is primarily to create music. A musical instrument is an
example of integrative art.
3. Literary and Musical Compositions – literary works are written works meant to be
read, sung, or delivered in a play. Musical compositions, on the other hand, are not
written but notated, represented by musical symbols. These two types of compositions
are some of the easiest art forms to integrate with another form. Literary pieces, such as
novels, short stories and epics are the most common bases of their forms like theatre
and cinema. A theatre without a playwright is nothing, so is a cinema without a
scriptwriter.
4. Visual Design – it is a composition or layout of lines, shapes and color to form patterns
on paper, textile or any piece for that matter. It can be found in either two-dimensional
works like painting and drawing; or three-dimensional works like installation and
sculpture.
5. Theatrical Performance – it refers to the staging and execution of a production like
drama, opera, festivals, and the like. It pertains to a public presentation of a dramatic or
musical entertainment. It is interdisciplinary because it goes beyond theatre, and other
art forms, like puppetry, cinema, and sculpture. It also goes out to the other disciplines
like psychology and the social and political sciences.
6. Cinema – it is the most popular of the art forms. It is similar to the theatre, except that it
is not a live performance and the action is seen on a flat screen. Although, it appeared
only in the early 1900s in Manila and later spread in the regions, it has gained public
acceptance.
