The document discusses artists, artisans, and their mediums and techniques. It defines artist as a practitioner who creates works with aesthetic value using imagination, while an artisan produces directly functional or decorative works. Medium refers to the materials used, and technique is how the artist manipulates the medium. It also covers engagement with art through exhibitions, awards and citations that honor artists, and the process of creating artwork from preproduction to postproduction.

choreographer, dancer, musician, etc. who produces or
creates indirectly functional arts with aesthetic value
using imagination.

8. 1. Wellness
Studies have shown that art has the potential to
impact a person's long-term happiness, so
consider tabletop sculptures or meditative works
to create a calming atmosphere.
“Having a deep appreciation for the work, lear
ning more about the artist, and creating a
meaningful connection with the piece can bring a
calming feeling every time you walk
by the work,” Preston says.

9. 2. Maximalism
A loud style composed of
mixed patterns, excessive, but
curated collections, and saturated
colors. Its strongly opposed
counterpart minimalism
encourages paring everything
down to its bare minimum, but
maximalism encourages utilizing
your space in the boldest way
possible. Its ornate nature is
reminiscent of the stately home
interiors that can be found in
England, but the bold colors, and
modern accents are what updates
maximalist style and makes it
modern.

10. Elements of Maximalism
Those exquisite maximalist
interiors you may have seen on
Pinterest or Instagram can feel
intimidating. It is essential to
remember when maxing out your
style at home it is all about you
and your unique taste.
"Maximalism is, in a way, much
more personal than minimalism.
People are not just one thing; they
are complicated and complex and
multifaceted—and maximalist
decor expresses that," says Nicole
Alexander, principal interior
designer behind the firm Siren
Betty Design. This style allows
your personality and experiences
to shine through much more easily
than in a minimalist space.

11. When it comes to identifying a maximalist space, these are
some key characteristics:
• Layering
• Repetitive patterns in prints such as florals, abstract, and
animal prints
• Rich, bold colors
• Unique statement pieces
• Mixing and matching of textures and colors
• Multiples of items like books, statues, artworks etc.
• Blending of styles—oftentimes but not limited to classic,
eclectic, and boho ring everything down to its bare minimum,
but maximalism encourages utilizing your space in the boldest
way possible. Its ornate nature is reminiscent of the stately
home interiors that can be found in England, but the bold
colors, and modern accents are what updates maximalist
style and makes it modern.

teach you how to create
eyecatching works of art
that will stylishly shine

13. 4. NATURE-INSPIRED
ART
Making art from
nature involves utilizing
various elements of
nature (such as leaves,
sticks, stones, bones,
water, etc) in a creative
way to make a new art
object. The resulting
artwork makes a
statement about both
nature and humanity's
relationship to nature.
This was the way we

14. 5. ARTISANAL WORKS
Artwork showcasing cultural
traditions is also gaining
momentum. Handmade ceramics,
woodworking, and needlepoint
are just a few examples,
according to Saatchi Art. “In a
time of great technological
advancement, we are seeing
artists creating on both ends of
the spectrum: digital works such
as VirtualReality experiences are
existing alongside a movement
that is revitalizing traditional art-
making practices," Preston says.
"The artisan has been resurrected
and is being celebrated in modern
and traditional homes alike.”

16. The process of creating an artwork does not
necessarily follow a linear progression.
The process is essentially tripartite:
(1) Preproduction -the artist always begins with
an idea that he wants to express or
communicate with his audience. It may not
necessarily be fully formulated, and so some
form of exposure, research, and other
approaches may be explored to get the idea
long before actually making the artwork.

17. (2) Production - artists however, birth their ideas
when material manipulation is already underway.
The execution of the art may take a variety of forms
such as painting, sculpture, tapestry, photograph, a
routine (dance), or a track or composition (music).
(3) Postproduction -once an artwork is finished, it
will then be decided on how it will be circulated not
only in the art world, but the many publics. The
creation of the object requires that it be
seen
heard
touched
experienced

18. Often, it enters into a new Sphere, inside the
domain of museums, galleries, performance
halls, theaters, and other art spaces where
interaction can take place.
Take note, however, that approval, enjoyment, or
pleasure are not the sole reactions that an artist
intends for his work. Sometimes, it is repulsion,
contempt, or even grief, which the artist hopes
for.

20. Medium and Technique
Medium - is one of the aspects of art that directly
correlates with its composition and presumed
finality of the artwork. Mode of expression in which
the concept, idea, or message is conveyed.
It may be:
concrete or tangible= concrete works, the objects
phisically manifest themselves for a prolonged or
lasting period. Examples: paintings, sculptures,
monuments, and structures.
ephemeral or transient= it is durational. Example:
track(recording sound), a film, or a performance.

21. Technique of the artwork shows the level of
familiarity with the medium being manipulated. It
alludes to the necessity of additional tools or
implements (e.g hammer and chisel may come in
handy for sculptors), or consideration of time (e9:
behavior of different kinds of paint especially in
drying time requirements), and th specificity of the
site of creation (e.g., indoor or outdoor production
requirements).

23. Engagement with Art
ln Anna Cline’s
The Evolving Role of the Exhibition and Its Im
pact on Art and Culture
(2012), she wrote that “exhibitions act as the cat
alyst of art and ideas to the public; they represent a
way of displaying and contextualizing art that makes it
relevant and accessible to contemporary audiences.
Keeping art relevant to society and to a diverse
audience at any given point in history is one of the
main goals of the art exhibition and one of the
reasons it is so important to the history of art."

24. In Paula Marincola’s
What Makes a Great Exhibition? (2006), “exh
ibitions are strategically located at the nexus
where artists, their work, the arts institution, and
many different publics
intersect.” Exhibitions create an opportunity in
which the different roles in the art world get to
meet, interact, and even enter into a discussion.

25. Exhibitions may be long-term or permanent
hangs, or it may be temporary or periodically
changing. An artist may have a solo exhibition or
may be included in a two-person showing or even a
group exhibition. Aside from exhibitions, other
opportunities for art engagement transpire in the
classroom (instruction); studio visits; lectures,
workshops, and other events that augment the
exhibitions (programs) .Publications are also a good
way to introduce the artwork and opens it up for
appreciation, critique, and analysis.

26. Awards and Citations
After an artist has spent considerable time in honing his skills, establishing the
relevance of the body of his works, and even gaining respect from his
colleagues in the art world, he may be considered or nominated for awards
and citations. Most common measures in which artists and other creative
producers are given incentives and honor for their work is through
stateinitiated and given awards and citations.
The two major awards given to artists in the Philippines
