11. ARTIST AND ARTISANS

12. Let’s Get Down to Business!
“The real controlling resource and the absolutely decisive
factor of production is neither capital not land nor labor. It is
knowledge instead of capitalists and proletarians, the classes
of the post capitalists society are the knowledge workers and
the service workers.” - Peter Drucker’s seminal book Post-
Capitalist Society (1993).
In the first episode of the video series “New Ways of
Seeing” a project by The New York Times’T Brand Studio and jewelry
giant Tiffany and Co., art critic Jerry Saltz (2016) underscored the
significance of not only the discovery of the cave paintings, but also
the paintings themselves. He asserted that “these first artists
invented a way to get the three-dimensional world into two
dimensions and attach value to their own ideas. And all of the
history of art flows forth from this invention.”

13. Early on, artists were embedded in the development of
culture, and in turn, art was nurtured by the varying culture in which
it existed. There are numerous monuments and memorials that are
plotted over the world such as;
The Stonehenge
Pyramids of Giza
Vietnam Veteran
Memorial
in Washington, DC

14. THE ARTISANS AND THE GUILD
-A guild (/ɡɪld/ GILD) is an association of artisans
and merchant who oversee the practice of their
craft/trade in a particular territory.
-An artisan is a skilled worker who makes the
things by hand.

15. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY
SOME EXAMPLES OF ARTISTIC AND
CREATIVE PRODUCTION HAVE
SURVIVED TO THIS DAY?
Museums are packed with numerous artifacts and
interesting objects from all over the world that have
survived centuries for us all to see. Magnificent structures
that are often appreciated not only for their historical
significance but more so for their aesthetic characteristics.

16. GOTHIC ARCHITECTURES
- a style of masonry building characterized by the cavernous spaces
with the expanse of walls broken up by overlaid tracery.
Craftsman and builders in the past did not have sophisticated
terminologies and principles that architects and engineering abide by
today. What they had was a sense on how materials behaved, how the
environment, light, and weather patterns affected structures and
other more intuitive principles of creation.

17. Example of Gothic Architectures
Cologne Cathedral
- in Germany, it is one of the many examples of early Gothic architecture.
-the tallest twin-spired church in the world
-said to have been used as an easily recognizable navigational landmark.
Master Mason Gerhard Ryle
- he started the project in 1248 but was completed
roughly 600 years later, claiming the record as one of
the longest construction projects to date

22. THE ARTIST
AND
HIS STUDIO

23. THE ARTIST AND HIS STUDIO
• the big shift that propelled the evolution of the pivotal role of the artist

period.

continuous production of works with religious subjects);

32. PLAYERS IN THE
WORLD OF ART

33. The Art Worlds of
Howard’s S. Becker’s,
asserted that all artistic
work like human activity,
involves the joint activity
of a number or a large
number of people.

34. Example:
Multi – level Platform, and International Art far like the Art
Based in Hong Kong.

35. PLAYERS IN THE WORLD OF ART
Artist
-a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing)
using conscious skill and creative imagination.
Management and Operation in Museum
Directors
– art directors typically oversee the work of other designers and artists who produce
images for television, film, live performances, advertisements, or video games. They
determine the overall style in which a message is communicated visually to its
audience. For each project, they articulate their vision to artists.
Assistant Director
– assistant art director, their duties include coordinating visual projects, managing

objects of art, science, or from the past are collected, or a person who
organizes and arranges a showing of art or other objects of interest.
• Institutional Curators - are typically affiliated with museum and
galleries.
• Independent or Freelance Curators - have the leeway to move
around various projects, platforms, and art spaces, and multiplicity
of term.

37. Buyers

collectors are interested in. It is the role to oversee the sale of
the artwork.
Collectors

only appreciates art but knows art, understand its behavior and

display of artworks for education of public and appreciation of
the subject only.

39. Medium is the mode of expression in which the concepts, idea or
message is conveyed. It may be concrete or tangible, such as paintings,
sculptures, monuments and structures; or it may be ephemeral or something
transient, such as a track (recording of a sound), a film, or a performance. For
concrete works, the objects physically manifest themselves for a lasting
period. For ephemeral works, on the other hand, it is durational.
MEDIUM AND TECHNIQUE

40. • A chosen medium must not be expected to yield the same results.
Giving two different artists the same exact material and the general
qualifier of “painting”, the end product will still vary minimally or in
an exponential scale.
• This is where technique comes in, as it is the reason why art history
is described by a seemingly limitless example of works of art.

41. • The 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 (e.g.
for paintings, it requires drying time), and the specificity of the site of
creation (e.g. indoor or outdoor production requirements).

42. • “Exhibitions act as the catalyst 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. The art exhibition, by its nature,
holds a mirror up to society, reflecting its interests and concerns while at the
same time challenging its ideologies and preconceptions. 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.” - Anna Cline’s The Evolving Role of the
Exhibition and Its Impact on Art and Culture (2012).
• “Exhibitions are strategically located at the nexus where artists, their work,
the arts institution, and many different public intersects.” - Paula Marincola’s
What Makes a Great Exhibition? (2006).
ENGAGEMENT WITH ART

43. OTHER OPPURTUNITIES FOR ART ENGAGEMENT:
• Classrooms (instruction)
• Studio visits; lectures, workshops, and other events that
augment the exhibitions (programs); auction sale.
• Art fairs, biennials and triennials; and other larger showings
of not only artworks but also where art personalities can
flex their influence and authority.
