Introduction Concept
The Philippine Contemporary Art can be classified into seven major art forms. These are painting, sculpture,
architecture, film, literature, music and theater, and dance. Knowing these classifications will guide us in identifying and
exploring different contemporary art forms from the regions of the Philippines.
PHILIPPINE CONTEMPORARY ARTS

Philippine contemporary arts can be described into visual arts, literary arts and performing arts. Visual art is an
expression of artistic ideas through images, structures, 9 and tactile work. Some visual artworks are integrated which
means it combines several mediums to create new and unique artwork. Painting, sculpture, architecture, and film are
examples of visual arts.
Painting the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-
dimensional visual language. The elements of this language – its shapes, lines, colors, tones, and textures – are used in
various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. The first paintings here in
the Philippines are commissioned works during Spanish colonization. Here are some paintings from Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao.
The sculpture is an art form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into three-dimensional art objects.
Filipino sculptors came to be known in the middle of the 19th century. These are some of the sculptures in the
Philippines.
Architecture is the art and practice of designing and constructing buildings (Cambridge Advanced
Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus). In relation to that, Philippine architecture was characterized as simple,
rational, and functional. In the 20th century, the young Filipino who studied in American colleges and institutes
introduced the neoclassic style in building structures. However, after World War II, real estate development
started to take place (Sandagan & Sayseng, 2016). To illustrate these architectural designs, these are some
examples from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao
Film is a form of visual art use to imitate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, or feelings with
the use of moving images. It is also called a movie or motion picture. Moreover, the art form that is the result of
the film is called cinema (Faber & Walters, 2003). The film industry in the Philippines started in 1897. In the
contemporary period, martyr wife, superhero, action, melodramas, and comedies are some of the usual subjects
and themes in the Philippine films. Some films in the Philippines are presented below.
Apart from visual arts, there are Philippine contemporary art forms that can be described as literary arts.
Literary arts are an expression of ideas through writing. Literary arts can be categorized as poetry, prose, and
drama. In the Philippines, literary arts are greatly encountered in literature.
Literature- According to Lombardi (2020), literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes
spoken material. Derived from the Latin word literature meaning "writing formed with letters," literature most
commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and in some
instances, journalism, and song. These are some examples of Philippine literature.
Music and Theater
Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds. According to Ramon P. Santos in his article entitles
Contemporary Music, Contemporary music in the Philippines usually refers to compositions that have adopted
ideas and elements from twentieth-century art music in the West, as well as the latest trends and musical styles
in the entertainment industry. Filipino Music had already a rich and unique musical tradition long before
westerners set foot on our native land. Music was present in every stage of our ancestors’ lives — from birth to
death, in blissful or tragic times. Below are some Music from the different Regions of our country.
Theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or
imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. The performers may communicate this experience to
the audience through combinations of 12 gesture, speech, song, music, or dance. Some of the Theater Play in
the Philippines are the following.
