Classification of Art Forms

1) Visual Arts- are those forms perceived by the eyes. These include painting, sculpture and architecture. They are
also called spatial arts because artworks produced under this genre occupy space.
Types of Visual Arts: A) Graphic Arts- are those visual arts that have length and width: thus, they are also called two-
dimensional arts. They are also called flat arts because they are seen on flat surfaces. Examples: Painting, sketching,
commercial art, computer graphics, photography and drawing.
B) Plastic Arts- are those visual arts that have length, width and volume, they are also called
three-dimensional. Example sculpture, landscape architecture, costume design, theater design, crafts (handicrafts) and
industrial design etc.
2) Audio-Visual Arts- are those perceived by both ears (audio) and eyes (visual). It is also called performing arts in
as much as the artists render a performance in front of the audience. Examples music, dance and drama.
3)Literary Arts- are those presented in the written mode and intended to be read. Examples: A) Poetry-are written in
stanza (composed of lines) like narrative poems, lyric poems and dramatic poems. B) Prose- are written in paragraph
(composed of sentences) like short stories, novels, essays and plays.
4)Integrative Arts- A number of art forms are combined to form an art work. Example, an opera or musical play is a
combination of music, dance and drama. A building is an architectural work that can have paintings and sculptures
and integral parts. A novel or another literary piece in book form may have a painting or drawing as it covers.
 THE CONTEMPORARY ARTS FROM THE REGION
Contemporary Arts
According to quora.com, contemporary art forms refer to field of arts such as painting, drawing, dancing, music,
sculpture, architecture, etc.
According to Wikipedia.org, contemporary art is the art of today and produced in the second half of the 20th
century or in the 21st century.
Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advanced world.
Contemporary art in most cases, defined it as art that has been and continuously being created during our lifetime.
(widewall.ch)
Example: The artist is using different computer software on his/her artwork.
During the 21st century, these art forms include photography, graphic design and animation.
Contemporary art is the art of the modern world, created in the last half of the 21st Century.
Contemporary or modern-day artists work in an internationally inclined, culturally and ethnically diverse and
technologically and scientifically forward moving world. Their art is a vigorous arrangement of resources,
approaches, impressions and themes that linger the thought-provoking limitations that was previously well in progress
in the 20th Century.
Contemporary Philippine Art
The art of the Philippines refers to the works of art that have developed and accumulated in the Philippines from
the beginning of civilization in the country up to the present era.
According to Santos (2016), in Philippine art as in its culture, one notes the various shades, lines, and tones, and
even the contrasting characters that have been absorbed and blended into new forms that are particularly Filipino.
Contemporary Arts began during the 1950s, after World War II. Artists began to experiment various procedures
and various methods of communicating their feelings, perspectives, thoughts, and different things that they needed to
communicate through Arts. They were viewed as contemporary artists in light of the fact that their styles and methods
of making artworks veered away from that of customary workmanship.
As times change, innovation, individual’s thoughts, issues, needs, and so forth change as well. Contemporary art
would now be able to be discovered any place artist can put their work. It isn't kept in historical centers.
Contemporary Philippine Arts tends to be found in the various displays, art schools, side lanes and open spaces like
train or transport stations, shopping centers, parks and malls. Along these lines, what is basic in contemporary arts is
the procedure of art-making. For most, it is not how much cash they make from their last work but the message it
wants to convey.
