to clarify the relation between
artworks and individual opinions and
evaluations.
Far from being a universally

studies in the fine arts but are self-taught.
Concerned with the development of their talents
and skills in art-making, they study on their own,
interact with artists, and read a lot about the lives
of artists and their artworks. They also explore the
materials in hardware stores or experiment with
chemical reactions on their base material. There

engineering skills. Some hire resin makers, house
painters, and materials fabricators to help them in
constructing their artworks.

12. Collage is made by adhering flat elements
such as newspaper or magazine cut-outs,

22. •The term decalcomanie originated in the 19th
century, referring to a form of transfer printing

Pacita Abad where her canvases are
padded, sewn, and often filled with
sequins, beads, shells, buttons, tiny
mirrors, bits of glass, rickrack, swatches of
precious textiles, and other things that she
picks up from her travels and journey.

33. •Trapunto is derived from the Italian word “to
embroider”. Artists paint their work(s) on the
