This study looked into the characteristics of global contemporary art in the Philippines through the professional artists’ and art students’ perspectives using qualitative research method. The research believes that global contemporary art promotes “unity in diversity” to unite nations as one big community sans nationality, color, race, or language. Once the phases of this study is complete, these will be significant to artists and art students who want to be guided on creating contemporary art that can compete globally, as well as academes to have a handy reference for creating global contemporary subjects following an outcomes based curriculum.

Summary

Introduction

The study of humanities involves one very essential point which is discerning interrelation of different cultures’ art forms according to the humanities book by Benton and Diyanni (2002). These relationships involve cross-sectoral links of a culture’s works of art, directions among different cultures’ artworks and historical interconnection. Some artworks become cultural icons, empowering them to represent the culture where they came from How they become masterpieces or what qualities enable them to be appreciated over time are some interesting concerns in humanities. Certain works surpass the culture where they came from to manifest wider universal values. These works richly epitomize the distinctiveness of their culture, often rooted in the local, yet, were able to speak beyond their boundaries
