3. PAINTING
• The expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain
aesthetic qualities, in a two-dimensional visual language.
• An artist’s decision to use a particular medium, such
as tempera, fresco, oil, acrylic, watercolour or other water-based
paints, ink, gouache, encaustic, or casein
4. • The pigment may be in a wet form, such as paint, or a dry form, such
as pastels.
• Painting can also be a verb, the action of creating such an artwork.
5. Need to Know:
• Pigment: Nearly all paint colors come from nature. Dirt, rock, plants,
etc. are the raw material, which is ground down into what is called a
pigment.
• Acrylic Paint: A thick shiny paint made by mixing pigment with water
and an acrylic base. Dries within a few hours.
• Poster Paint: A solid water-based paint that dries to a matt finish.
6. • Fresco: The word is Italian for "fresh". The technique involves painting
with dry pigment on wet plaster. Fresco a secco involves painting on
dry plaster.
• Oil Paint: A thick, shiny paint made by mixing pigment with oil (usually
linseed). Takes several days to dry.

yolks (egg tempera).

9. • Artistic paintings were introduced to the Filipinos in the 16th century
when the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines.
• the Spaniards used paintings as religious propaganda to spread
Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These paintings, appearing
mostly on church walls, featured religious figures appearing in
Catholic teachings.
• In the early 19th century, wealthier, educated Filipinos introduced
more secular Filipino art, causing art in the Philippines to deviate
from religious motifs.
11. • The elements of painting are the basic components or building
blocks of a painting (and art generally). In Western art they are
generally considered to be:
• Color
• Tone (or value)
• Line (a narrow mark made by a brush, or a line created where two
things meet)
• Shape (2D, can be positive or negative) and Form (3D)
• Space (or volume)
• Texture (or pattern)
12. Color
• is the most basic element of a painting. Every color has three aspects to
it: hue or name, value or tone, and intensity.
• Hue – Pure Color (Red, Blue…..).
• Value – Amount of Black or White in color.
• Intensity – Degree of Purity of color.
13. Tone
• refers to the degree of lightness or darkness of an area.
• Tone varies from the bright white of a light source through shades of
gray to the deepest black shadows.
14. Line
• Is used to control our eye, create unity and balance. Help
construct meanings.
• Line can be described as a moving dot. Line is perhaps the
most basic element of drawing.
15. Shape
• an element of art that is a two-dimensional area that is defined in
some way. A shape may have an outline around it or you may
recognize it by its area.
• Geometric shapes - precise shapes that can be described using
mathematical formulas. Ex. Circle, square, triangle, oval, rectangle,
parallelogram, trapezoid, pentagon, pentagram, hexagon, and
octagon.
16. • Freeform Shapes - also called organic shapes, are irregular and
uneven shapes. Their outlines may be curved, angular, or a
combination of both
• Form - an element of art, means objects that have three
dimensions. I like to think of form as a 3-D shape
17. Space
• Is the area around, above, and within an object. With consideration
to drawings and paintings, our goal is to create the illusion of space.
18. Six (6) ways an artist can create the
illusion of space on a 2-Dimensional
surface.
• Overlapping - occurs
when objects that are
closer to the viewer
prevent the view of
objects that are behind
them.
19. • Placement on the paper -
Objects placed higher within
the picture plane will appear
further away.
• Size - Objects that are smaller
will appear further away from
the viewer.
20. • Detail - Objects that are further
away should have less detail than
objects that are closer to the
viewer.
• Color and Value - Objects that are
further away are lighter in value, while
objects that are closer are typically
darker in value.
21. • Perspective - Linear
perspective is a drawing
method that uses lines to
create the illusion of space
on a flat surface.
22. Texture
• Implied – suggested roughness or smoothness of objects in the composition.
• Real – what it would feel like if you touch it.
24. • Landscape is an
outdoor scene. A
landscape artist uses
