Techniques and
Performance
The Philippines is known to be rich in natural
resources. Thus, it is no surprise that Filipinos use their
creativity to use these resources to meet the needs of the
community as well as to express their ideas, knowledge,
feelings, and ways of life. Artists of today use different
available materials such as plastic straw, bottles, old
newspaper, and other recyclable materials which seem
not to be valued unless transformed into meaningful arts.
These locally available materials are evident in the
creation of traditional arts.
An art is always created with a technique. A
technique is the way the artist uses and
manipulates the materials to express an idea or
feeling through an art. A medium is defined as the
material or substance used to create an artwork.
Using these materials, the artists express his
feelings or thoughts. The medium used in each
artwork varies based on the artists and their art
forms.

B. Common Techniques in Contemporary Arts
1. Minimalism. This is an artistic movement that seeks to take away

unnecessary and leaving only the essential. The artworks that usually
use this technique use a well selected material that is indispensable in
art production.
2. Found Objects. This means taking something that people seem to find
useless and use it in a unique way in order to make an artwork. When
people seem to think that something must be thrown away as junk, it
is used to tell a story and create a diverse perspective that we are
looking for.
3. Large-Scale Art. This is an art that accounts for the creation of
something huge to express diverse perspectives in artwork. This art is
created for public view.
