3. 1.1 TWO DIMENSIONAL
PAINTING
A process of applying pigment on
a smooth surface (paper, cloth,
canvas, wood or plaster) to
secure an interesting arrangement
of forms lines and color.
6. 1. ENCAUSTIC - one of the early
mediums is the application of a
mixture of the half beeswax, resin
and ground pigment to any porous
surface. It is followed by the
application of heat to set the colors
and bind them to the surface.
Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used
encaustic to paint portraits in a
coffin.

8. 2. TEMPERA PAINTS - are earth
or mineral pigments mix with egg
yolk and egg white. It is most often
used in the past in painting vellum
in the production of books. Now,
tempera is normally applied in
wooden panels carefully covered
with gesso a combination of
gypsum or chalk and gelatin glue.
9.
10. 3. FRESCO PAINTING - is
the application of earth
pigments mixed with water
on a plaster wall while the
plaster is damp. Color sinks
into the surface and becomes
an integral part of the wall
permanently.
11.
12. 4. WATERCOLOR - Tempered
paint made with pure ground
pigment bound with gum arabic.
Painters apply watercolor in thin,
almost transparent film. The
surface of paper then shows
through, giving a delicate,
luminous texture to the painting.
13.
14. 5. OIL PAINTING - Pigment
ground on linseed oil is
applied to primed canvas. Oil
is a very flexible medium and
can be applied using a brush,
airbrush, palette knife, or even
with bare hands.
15.
16. 6. SYNTHETIC PAINTS -
Using acrylic polymer
emulsions as binders are the
newest and the ones that are
widely used by today's painters.
Acrylic combines transparency
and quick-drying characteristics
of watercolor and the flexibility
of oil.

18. B. MOSAIC - wall or floor
decorations made of small cubes
of irregularly cut pieces of
colored stone or glass called
tesserae. These are fitted
together to form a pattern and
glued on a surface with plaster
or cement.
19.
20. C. STAINED GLASS -
developed as a major art when it
appeared as an important part of
the Gothic cathedral. It is
translucent glass colored by
mixing metallic oxides into the
molten glass or by fixing them
into the surface of a clear glass.
21.
22. D. TAPESTRY - these are
fabrics into which colored
designs have been woven.
Walls of palaces, castles
and chapels in Europe were
decorated in the middle
ages with tapestries.
23.
24. E. DRAWING - Is the most
fundamental of all skills needed
in visual art. A drawing may be
a study, sketch, cartoon, or
finished work in itself. Drawing
can be done using graphite
(pencil), pen and ink, pastel,
chalk, charcoal, crayons, or
silverpoint.
25. F. PRINTMAKING - is a
graphic image that results
from a duplicating
process. Each print is an
original work, not a
reproduction.
