Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony).Literature, in its broadest sense, is any single body of written works. More restrictively, literature is writing considered to be an art form, or any
SCULPTURE
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.
CREATIVITY
FILM
The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations
VISUAL ARTS
Current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as well as the applied, decorative arts and crafts, but this was not always the case.Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th century, the term 'artist' was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts (such as painting, sculpture, or printmaking) and not the handicraft, craft, or applied art media. The distinction was emphasized by artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement, who valued vernacular art forms as much as high forms.
Literature and Music
According to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (2015), the Order of National Artists (Orden ng Pambansang Alagad ng Sining) is the highest national recognition given to Filipino individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts; namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, and Architecture and Allied Arts. The order is jointly administered by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and conferred by the President of the Philippines upon recommendation by both institutions.
Order of National Artists aims to recognize:
1. Filipino artists who have made significant contributions to the cultural heritage of the country.
2. Filipino artistic accomplishment at its highest level and to promote creative expression as significant to the development of a national cultural identity.
3. Filipino artists who have dedicated their lives to their works to forge new paths and directions for future generations of Filipino artists.
What makes Philippine Art Filipino?
To what extent is Philippine art derivative of Western art?
Is there anything “Filipino” about, for example, the Manila Wyeth school, the so-called magic realists?
The questions above are merely a rephrasing of the old problem of national identity in the visual or plastic arts. Admittedly, the issue is not as hot as it used to be, say, in the 1950s and 1960s. But it is a question that will always haunt art watchers hereabouts, and which usually surfaces in art forums. Genre used to be a major consideration in determining the “Filipino-ness” of a work of art at least in painting. The idea was that the depiction of scenes of everyday life and the surroundings without idealizing them was closest in spirit to the Filipino soul and native soil. (What saves the local magic realists from being completely derivative is their sense of genre.)
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is now accepting nominations for the Order of National Artist Award.
