Final Product Using Materials in

What’s In
In Module 4, we learned the different characteristics of contemporary art.
Contemporary art has been interpreted differently in different times and different regions. Yet,
its characteristics such as innovation in art, using of new materials, use of color and newer
techniques remain the same.

What I Need to Know

techniques to create art. It is said that there is no limit to art but knowing the appropriate
materials to use to make one could bring out the best out of the artwork. It could give a greater
impact to the audience.
In the end of this lesson, you are expected to create the intended final product using
appropriate materials for the best possible output. You will be revisiting some various ideas
on the essence of contemporary art. You will know some art materials and their suggested

 What Is It
LOCAL CONTEMPORARY ART WORKS IN MINDANAO

The term “local” can refer to material that is easily available. The local can also refer
to wherever the artist finds himself or herself. The “local” is dynamic, fluid, and constantly
changing. It involves an integration of various media: dance, music, the visual, digital, and
electronic arts; of various geographies: local, transnational, national; and of various spaces:
the “actual” as staged to the virtual as eternally documented or mediatized.

Here are some of the contemporary art works made noted by local artists in Mindanao.

“Ang Pag Ayag sa kinabuhi Og Kalibutan” is an

according to this art must have control and balance
to preserve its beauty and its natural characteristics.

in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when
under strain, especially when faced with longer-

one can take before negativity. It is also used to
refer to the character trait of being steadfast.
Antonyms include hastiness and impetuousness.
