☺ “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan” Jose Rizal

• This statement po is a well-known quote by Our Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.
It says that the future of our country daw po is naka depende daw po sa kabataan and
sinasabi din po na youths hold the key to the progress as well as the development of the
nation.

• So ano nga ba yung connection ng quote na ito sa Contemporary Art? So, for me po, it is
relevant to Philippine contemporary arts in the sense that young artists play po as a crucial
role sa pag shape po ng direction of the country's artistic and cultural landscape.

• Moreover, po yung mga kabataan po kase is usually involved in using art as a means of
social commentary po in addressing issues such as poverty, corruption etc. And through
their art po, they are able to raise awareness and inspire action on these particular issues

na “the art of today”.

with the world around them in creative and meaningful ways.

arts in terms of the mediums and techniques used. Dahil na nga po sa advancement of new
technology, marami na sa artists have access to a broader range of tools and materials,

art. Some of us naman po is alam na there are Artists that can now create art using digital
tools such as graphics tablets, 3D modeling software, and etc.

✓ Aside from that po, Technology has also impacted traditional art forms such as painting
and sculpture. Dahil nga po sa development ng new materials and techniques, artists are

modern architecture nag aallow po ito sa architects to create buildings that are more
durable, spacious, and energy-efficient than traditional materials such as brick and stone.

media, designs, and techniques have played a significant role in the commercialization of
sculpture and architecture. By embracing new technologies and techniques, artists and
architects have been able to create works po that are both functional and aesthetically
