Peace



"The sky that makes me at peace"




Did you ever look at the sky by night and have the feeling of being in love? Love in a peaceful way. Like, there is something in the sky that makes you feel so happy and loved by someone. It reminds you of the happy moments that you've shared with other people, but sometimes it brake's your heart because you remembered something or someone that hurt your feeling... AT THE END OF THE DAY THE SKY WILL ALWAYS MAKES YOU FEEL AT PEACE.





How about looking at the sky but having a perfect city lights? It makes you realize how the city is beautiful at night. The ambiance on the hill is way more different in the city. Never the less, it helps you realize how important life is and it helps you to be a better you.

Contemporary arts: The regions of the Philippines

Contemporary Arts



  • Art from the 1960s or '70s up until this very minute.
Here at About.com Art History, 1970 is the cut-off point for two reasons. First, because it was around 1970 that the terms "Postmodern" and "Postmodernism" popped up -- meaning, we must assume, that the art world had had its fill of Modern Art starting right then.
Secondly, 1970 seems to be the last bastion of easily classified artistic movements. If you look at the outline of Modern Art, and compare it to the outline of Contemporary Art, you'll quickly notice that there are far more entries on the former page.
This, in spite of the fact that Contemporary Art enjoys far more working artists making far more art. (It may be that Contemporary artists are mostly working in "movements" that cannot be classified, due to there being around ten artists in any given "movement", none of which have shot off an email saying that there's a new "movement" and "could you please tell others?")
On a more serious note, while it may be hard to classify emergent movements, Contemporary art -- collectively -- is much more socially conscious than any previous era has been. A whole lot of art from the last 30 years has been connected with one issue or another: feminism, multiculturalism, globalization, bio-engineering and AIDS awareness all come readily to mind as subject matter.

Contemporary arts of every region:

Cordillera-
  • The flat gong commonly known as gangsaand played by the groups in the Cordillera region of the bossed gongs played among the Islam and animist groups in the Southern Philippines.
  • 2. Kalaleng or Tongali(nose flute)  Because the kalaleng is long and has a narrow internal diameter, it is possible to play different harmonics through overblowing—even with the rather weak airflow from one nostril.
    • 3. Tongatongis a bamboo percussion instrument used by the people of Kalinga to communicate with spirits during house blessings. It is made of bamboo cut in various lengths. When you hit it against soft earth a certain drone reverberates though the instrument’s open mouth. When an entire set of Tongatong is played in interloping rhythm and prolonged with the tribal chanting, it could put the audience and the dancers in a trance
