5.How did the traditional art influence the contemporary art in the country? Give at
least three (3) points and support the answer.
ANSWER:
Philippine's traditional art, though based on long-standing, established practices, has
always been contemporary as it is made now, and is the part of a continuing performance of
tradition
1. Influence of the culture and tradition in modern era:
Traditional art is still the foundation of their understanding nowadays. People in Philippines
leave not them behind. They go back or innovate their traditional art. Some of their clothing
are created and inspired by their ancestors' art. The art of writing or their literature are still
inspired and/or connected to their history. Bayong is one of the example of traditional art
that influenced our contemporary art.
2. Performing arts such as music and dancing.
Music is art too. The fondness for ballads can be traced to our ancestors' music called
kundiman. Also, if you will observe the media nowadays, people enjoy dance performances
with tribal theme. For musical performances, we can still watch gigs and theatrical plays that
are from the country's traditional art. An example of a contemporary art that is inspired by
traditional art are street dances and those being performed on national television.
3. Influence on Youth's Visual Art and use of Technology
