FAQ
What are the similarities and differences of Modern Art and Contemporary Art?
Contemporary Art is an art that is produced by artist today. It is the art of the
present. Both Modern and Contemporary Art are revolutionary, but Contemporary Art places a
greater emphasis on innovation and independence than Modern Art. Contemporary art is
concerned with societal influences, with society as the primary focus, whereas Modern art is a
personal expression. However, both Modern and Contemporary artists are free to express
themselves. Another distinction is that most Modern Art was created on canvas, but Contemporary
Art uses a wider range of materials, such as object design, tech-enabled artwork, and graphical
arts. In terms of qualities, sources, and influences, Modern Art and Contemporary Art are similar
in several aspects. Even while some Modern Art artists continue to create art today, it is now
classified as Contemporary Art, but the traits of Modern Art remain.

1. In terms of history, how do you define the contemporary? How is it different from
the “traditional” or “modern”?
Things that are now contemporaneous are either happening or happening at the
same time. The term “Contemporary Art” refers to artwork that has been created recently. When
you hear that one renowned person was a contemporary of another history class, it signifies that
they live at the same time period referred to as contemporaries. The term Contemporary Art refers
to art created in the present era as I already said in my answers in FAQ. Traditional Art is a type
of folk art that includes art created by indigenous peoples, peasants, and other laborers. They reflect
contemporary ideas and viewpoints that are vulnerable to societal change.
2. Explain the meaning of Contemporary Art: Collaborative, Integrative and Process-

Oriented. How do these mediums and techniques differentiate contemporary arts
from “traditional” and “modern”?
Contemporary Art: collaborative for me means that artists and communities
collaborative closely to create art through collaborative arts practice, which often takes place over
a long period of time. The image of the artist-genius working in solitude is challenged by
collaborative arts practice, which plays with and contests motions of authorship. Contemporary
Art: process-oriented is what artists do on a daily basis. It’s about experimenting with different
materials and techniques. It is the artist who directs the art not anyone else. It encourages creativity
and problem solving while allowing youngsters to explore and experiment with materials. The end
result is a demonstration of originality, unique to each child’s personality and growth rather than
a line of art work that is all the same. While integrated art, art study, development, production,
presentation, or creative creation of work that completely utilizes two or more art disciplines to
generate a work for a specific audience is referred to as integrated arts practice. I truly think they
differ in terms of materials they utilize and how they portray each piece of art. Contemporary art
employs a wide range of materials and techniques, including modern technologies like computers,
three-dimensional, live components, and performances, among others, paint pencils, charcoal,
clay, plaster, brush, pottery wheel, palette knife, and other traditional art materials are offer used
in traditional art.
3. How did the collaborative, integrative and process-oriented characters of

contemporary art become more converse through the process you went through in
a group activity?
Since all three imply that you are free to create your own art and express
yourself as you see fit. We used only one motif or theme, which is a local myth in Bicol, and
expressed how we are going to present it through the way we choose, chose dancing with my other
groupmates while the others show other concept, you see we have different ways of showing the
story of the myth that we chose but we all have the same meaning and I think that's how those
three converses in by doing our group activity.
4. Contemporary artists do not always use new media, such as installations and mixed
media. What makes them “contemporary” anyway? Explain your answers through
historical, stylistic and cultural overviews.
To begin, to say something is contemporary means that it is happening in the
present, either right now or soon. It is not a style of art, but rather a way to distinguish what is
happening now from previous art movements. As a result, what is considered contemporary art is
constantly changing as trends come and go. From the perspective of the 1970s and 1980s, new
media can be thought of as “not old media,” with old media being painting, sculpture, printmaking,
and domestic objects such as newspapers and television. New Media is everything that comes after,
but mostly things involving computer technology, and it has persisted to the 2020s due to its
ambiguity. However, it is quite old, and early new media work has little in common with more
modern new media works. Installations and Mixed Media are both terms used to describe how a
work was created or how it was intended to be viewed. Installation art is concerned with
transforming space, and it frequently involves a large area or a significant amount of space. The
term "mixed media" refers to the combination of different mediums, the most common of which
are collages. Installations and Mixed Media can be used to create a New Media work, but they are
not characteristics of New Media in and of themselves. They existed before the term "New Media"
was coined, and in the case of Mixed Media, for a long time before that. In any case, neither would
be considered New Media in the strictest sense. To answer the final question, as far as I can tell,
every term mentioned above fits neatly into a time span of 150–170 years. New Media,
Installations, and Mixed Media are all things that are "new" in art and are still being developed.
However, none of them strike me as particularly relevant contemporary art movements.
Furthermore, defining what is “historical, stylistic, and cultural” about contemporary art is difficult
or impossible because it is constantly ahistorical, lacks stylistic markings, and is only cultural if
you are in another culture. The short answer is that contemporary art is simply art that is being
created right now. Whatever is done tomorrow, next week, or next year is current. Everything
beyond the recent past, on the other hand, is barred. Some of them still used materials that used to
make the modern art, as the time goes by people are still using those but they are considered as
contemporary because they were made in the time frame today.
