Study Notes

Medium and Technique

  • Medium refers to the material artists use to convey their ideas, derived from the Latin word medium.
  • Technique is how an artist controls the medium to produce desired effects in their work.

Types of Arts

  • Visual Arts: Medium can be seen and occupies space. Divided into:

    • Two-dimensional: Includes painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography.
    • Three-dimensional: Includes sculpture, architecture, landscape design, community planning, industrial designs, and crafts.
  • Auditory Arts: Medium can be heard and expressed in time, primarily comprising music and literature.

  • Combined Arts: Medium can be both seen and heard, existing in both space and time. Examples include dance, opera, drama, and film, collectively called performing arts.

Role of the Artist

  • Artists select mediums based on their ability to express concepts effectively.
  • An artist may utilize multiple mediums to enrich their creative work.
  • Familiarity and respect for the chosen medium are crucial for skill improvement and artistic expression.

Characteristics of Mediums

Artist's Technique

  • Musicians, for instance, develop abilities to produce desired sounds, showcasing their unique techniques.

Distinction Between Arts and Crafts
