3. Have you been to a museum? Have
you ever wondered how the artist
utilizes their materials and how they
apply the technique in their artwork?

4. WHAT IS MEDIUM?
Medium is defined as the material, or the substance
out of which a work is made. Through these materials,
the artists express and communicate feelings and ideas.
The medium also defines the nature of the art form as
follows:

5. 1. Sculpture uses hard wood, adobe, metal, stainless
steel, cement, marble, bronze, iron, alabaster, coral
and brass. It is the branch of the visual art that operates
in three-dimension because it occupies space and has a
volume. One form of sculpture is pottery and the notable
examples are Guillermo Tolentino’s Oblation, Bulul
woodcarvings from the Cordilleras and carvings of saints
in Christian churches by Santos.

6. He used almost all kinds of materials for his sculptures such
as hard wood, adobe, metal, stainless steel, cement,
marble, bronze, iron, alabaster, coral and brass.

7. 2. Architecture uses wood, bamboo,
bricks, stone, concrete, and various
building materials. It is the art or practice
of designing and constructing buildings.

9. 3. Paintings uses pigments like watercolor,
oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink on a
usually flat ground such as wood, canvas,
paper and stonewall used in cave paintings.

11. 4. Printmaking uses ink normally on paper
but can also be used on woods, metal
plates, or silkscreens. Prints is classified as
two-dimensional because they include the
surface or ground on which coloring
substances are applied. However, while
paintings are unique, prints can be
reproduced in several pre-determined
editions.

13. 5. Music uses sounds and instruments (including
the human voice), while the dancer uses the
body
6. Dance uses the body and its movements.
Dance is often accompanied by music, but there
are dances that do not rely on musical
accompaniment to be realized. Dance can tell
stories, but at other times, they convey abstract
ideas that do not rely on a narrative.

14. 7. Theater artist integrates all the arts and
uses the stage, production design,
performance elements, and script to enable
the visual, musical, dance, and other aspects
to come together as a whole work.

15. •8. Photography and filmmaking use the
camera to record the outside world. The
filmmaker uses the cinematographic camera to
record and put together production design,
sound engineering, performance, and
screenplay. In digital photography and film, the
images can be assimilated into the computer,
thus eliminating the need for celluloid or
negatives, processing chemicals, or print.

18. 9. Writing of a novel, poetry, nonfiction, and
fiction uses words.

19. On the basis of medium, the arts can
be classified as practical, environmental,
pictorial, narrative, dramatic, and musical.

20. 1. The musical arts include music, poetry (those that have perceptible rhythm
and can be sung or danced to), and dance that is accompanied by music.
2. The practical arts have immediate use for everyday and business life
such as design, architecture, and furniture.
3. Environmental arts occupy space and change in its meaning and function
depends on their categories including architecture, sculpture, and site-specific
works such as installations and public art.
4. Pictorial works include painting, drawing, graphics and stage and
production design (lighting, dress, props, and set).
5. Works that are staged and performed are considered Dramatic and they
include drama, performance art, or music and dance.
6. If they are based on stories, the art forms are classified as narrative
and they include drama, novel, fiction, nonfiction, music, and dance.

21. WHAT IS TECHNIQUE?
Technique is the manner in which artists
use and manipulate materials to achieve the
desired formal effect, and communicate the
desired concept, or meaning, according to his
or her personal style (modern, Neoclassic,
etc.). The distinctive character or nature of
the medium determines the technique. For
example, stone is chiseled, wood is carved, clay
is modeled and shaped, metal is cast, and thread
is woven. See for example on the next slide.

23. Technique involves tools and technology, ranging from
the most traditional (for example carving, silkscreen,
analog photography, and filmmaking) to the most
contemporary (digital photography, digital filmmaking, music
production, Industrial design, and robotics).

24. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE
1. Wood Carving is an art that has been practiced all over
the world but very avidly in Southeast Asia where great
pieces of woodwork have been crafted
throughout the ages. Siem Reap was a
center of arts for many years during
the Angkor Empire, with sculptures of Apsara,
Angkor tales and other stories regularly
adorning the royal compounds. Today, these
very same sculptures are made by craftsmen
and placed in hotels all over Siem Reap.

25. 2. Silk-screen printing is one of the most popular printing
techniques, and is most-used by
companies when printing design onto products of
different sizes and materials. It has been used for more
than 100 years in the commercial
and artistic sector and is mainly used
for printing images and designs on
T-shirts, Tote bags, paper,
wood, ceramics and other materials.

26. 3. Analogue Photography refers to photography using
an analogue camera and film. A roll of film loaded
into the camera and the magic begins once you start
clicking:
light interacts with the chemicals
in the film and an image is
recorded. The pictures collected
in your film roll come to life when
the film is processed in a photo lab.

27. 4. Filmmaking. Film production is the process of making a film. The
direction or production of films for the cinema or television is a visual
storytelling. Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages including an initial
story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound
recording and reproduction, editing, and screening the finished product
before an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition.
Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of
economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and
cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a large number of people and can
take from a few months to several years to complete.
Filmmaker is the one who takes the onus of a feature film from
beginning to end, and most commonly fulfills the dual role of producer and
director (or more).

28. CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE
1. Digital photography uses cameras
containing arrays of electronic
photodetectors to capture images focused
by a lens, as opposed to an exposure on
photographic film. The captured images
are digitized and stored as a computer

29. 2. Digital film making
• Is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to blend art and
digital media and speed up the process of filmmaking as well
as be more creative and enterprising in the special effects
department.
• In short, more flexible digital cameras—such as the
Panasonic HVX 200 and the RED One and Scarlet cameras—
and editing software such as Final Cut Pro Studio, have made
the cinematographer's and editor's jobs easier and made it
possible for filmmakers to produce quality films at much
less expensive cost.

30. 3. Music production
• It is the process of creating a recorded music project. A
record producer usually handles music production, managing
every aspect. That can include being a critical part of the
creative process, such as deciding what instruments are
used and contributing to song arrangements. Since music
production plays a vital role in the quality of the final product, it
can make or break the success of an album. Record producers
give recommendations on which songs are best to record;
manage financial aspects of recording; hire outside
performers, if needed; and work with sound engineers in the
recording process.

31. 4. Industrial design
• It is a combination of art and engineering;
drawing skills, creativity and technical
knowledge are critical. Industrial designers
usually choose to work on products in a
specific industry, such as the medical,
automobile, or technology industry.

32. 5. Robotics
• It is an interdisciplinary research area at
the interface of computer science and
engineering. Robotics involves design,
construction, operation, and use of robots. The
goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines
that can help and assist humans in their day-to-
day lives and keep everyone safe.

33. ARTISTIC SKILLS AND
TECHNIQUES TO
CONTEMPORARY ART
CREATIONS

34. 1.Collage is the technique of an art production used in the
visual arts, where the artwork is made from on assemblage of
different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage may
sometimes include magazines and newspaper clippings,
ribbons, paints, bits of colored or handmade papers,
portions of other artwork or texts, photographs, and other
found objects, glued to a piece.

35. 2. Decollage is the opposite of collage; instead of an image is being built
up all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, treating away, or
otherwise removing pieces of an original image. The French word
“Decollage” in English means “Take-Off” or “To become Unglued” or “To
become unstuck”. Examples of decollage include cut-up technique.
Similar technique is the lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been
placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been
ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or poster
underneath

36. 3. Graffiti are writing or drawings that have been scribed,
scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall or other surface, often
in a public space. Graffiti range from simple written words to
elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti may express underlying social
and political messages, and a whole genre of artistic
expression is based spray paint graffiti styles. An example of
this is the Singapore art Bridge just beside the Oxford Hotel
where the writer stayed in their visit to Singapore. It is said to
be painted by a Batanes-born artist

37. 4. Land art - Earthwork or earth art is an art movement in which
landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. It is also an
art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such
as soil, rock (bedrock, bolders, stones), organic media (logs,
branches, leaves), and water which introduced materials such
as concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments. Sculpture is
not placed in the landscape rather, the landscape is the
means of their creation.

38. 5. Digital art is placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.
After some resistance, the impact of digital technology has transformed
activities such as paintings, drawing, sculpture, and music/sound art, while
new forms such as net art. Digital installation art and virtual reality have
become recognized artistic practices. More generally the term digital artist is
used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the
production of art. Digital Art is a term applied to contemporary art that
uses the method of mass production or digital media. The techniques of
digital art are used extensively by the mainstream media in advertisement
and by film-makers to produce visual effects. Both digital and traditional
artists use many sources of electronic information and programs to create
their work.

40. 6. Mixed Media- It refers to the artwork in the making of which more
than one medium has been employed. It refers to a work of visual art
that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. It refers
to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct
visual art media. For example, work on canvas that combines paint,
ink, and collage. When creating a painted or photograph work using
mixed media, it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow
enough dying time between the layers to ensure the final work will
have structural integrity, if many different layers are imposed. Many
effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Found objects can be
used in conjunction with the traditional artist to attain a wide range of
self-expression

42. 7. Print Making- is the process of making artworks by painting,
normally in the paper. Prints are created by transforming ink
from a matrix or through a prepared screen to a sheet of
paper or other material. Common types of matrices include
metal plates, usually copper or zinc, or polymer plates for
engraving o etching; stone aluminum or polymer for
lithography; blocks of wood crafts and wooden graving; and
linoleum for linocuts. Screens made of silk or synthetic fabrics
are used for the screen-printing process
