Unit 3 The artist and his medium Lesson 1: the process of art producction Production is at the heart of making art. Artists and theorists have long acknowledged its importance as both an artistic action and an idea to be explored. It can refer to the making of something, or to a final product, like a theatrical performance. It can be the process of bringing a song or musical to life or honing that work to perfection. Production might bring out images of factory production lines, or even the theories of scientists and philosophers after the mind has conceived it through a certain process.  When an artist is ready to express himself in art and to give shape to his Medium vision, his first thought would be on what medium to use.  The technique of the artwork shows the level offamiliarity withthe technique medium being manipulated.  Derived from the word “curare” which means to take care. It is a process that involves managing, curation overseeing and assembling or putting together a presentation or exhibit for some type of artistic collection.  lesson 2: the different media of visual arts I. Graphic or Two-Dimensional Arts A. Drawing The fundamental skill needed in the visual arts. Different Media for Drawing: 1. Pencils- Made of graphite which comes in different hardness from soft to hard or thickness from thick  Shading technique Hatching- A series of thin parallel lines that run in the same direction. Cross-hatching- A series of thin parallel lines and criss-crossing it with another set of tin parallel lines. Stippling- Uses the sharp point of the pencil to make dot patterns in some parts of the drawing. Blending- May be accomplished by using the finger or a paper stump to gradually change the tone from dark to light 02 Ink It is one of the oldest materials for drawing that is still in use. It allows for a great variety of qualities, depending on the tools and technique used in the application. 03 Pastel This is composed of dry pigment held together by a gum binder and compressed into sticks. KindS Of PaSTeL ✔ Soft Pastel ✔ Hard Pastel ✔ Oil Pastel PaSTeL TechniqueS Stippling- Using pastel of different colors to produce small marks, thus, creating a pattern. Feathering- Using the point of the pastel to make parallel strokes creating a feather-like effect. Scumbling- It is like layering but using pastel. The side of the pastel is lightly drawn on top of an existing color but still making the color of the first layer visible. PaSTeL TechniqueS Impasto- The technique of thickly applying the pastel by pressing it hard on the paper creating an opaque effect. Sgraffito- Technique that applies a thick deposit of pastel on the support then using a blunt pen, scrapes it off to reveal the underlying color.  KindS Of charcOaL ✔ Compressed Charcoal- The. Charcoal vine charcoal which comes in thin sticks that is easy to blend An organic medium and erase. that comes from ✔ Manufactured Charcoal- burnt wood. Made from loose charcoal mixed with a binder and pressed into sticks.  Kinds of Paper 5. Paper Hot-pressed Paper- Smooth The most common Cold-pressed Paper- surface used in two- Has moderate dimensional art texture. Rough Paper- Has the most texture (tooth) b. Painting It is the process of applying paint onto a smooth surface (ground/support) like paper, cloth, canvas, wood or plaster. Pigment Part of the paint that gives color. Different media for painting  1. Watercolor Pigments are mixed with water and applied to paper  2. Gouache The pigment has been mixed with water and added with a chalk-like material to give it an opaque effect  3. oil paints Pigments are mixed with oil as its binder. It is a dense painting medium and gives rich, beautiful colors. Discovered by a Flemish painter, Jan Van Eyck in the 15th century. tempera Pigment is mixed with egg yolk (sometimes with the white) as binder.  5. fresco Pigment is mixed with water and applied on a portion of the wall with wet plaster. It is used for mural paintings  6. acrylic Modern medium with synthetic paint using acrylic emulsion as binder.  c. mosaic Wall or floor decorations made of small tiles or irregularly cut pieces of colored stones or glass called tesserae.  d. collage Derived from a French word “coller” which means to stick. This is a technique of making art by gluing or pasting on firm support materials or found objects. E. printmaking Process used for making reproductions of graphic works. Allows for the repeated transfer of a master image from a printing plate (matrix) onto a surface.  printmaking techniques 1. Relief Painting (Raised)- The oldest method of printmaking. The technique involves cutting away certain parts of the surface and leaving the ‘raised’ part to produce the image. 2. Intaglio Printing (Depressed)- Instead of the surface of the plate for the image, the lines of the image are cut or incised to a metal plate. 3. Surface Printing (Flat)- Includes all processes in which printing is done from  iii. PLaSTic or Three dimenSionaL arTS  a. ScuLPTure Originated from the Latin word “sculpere” which means to carve. It is defined as the art or practice of creating three- dimensional forms or figures.  1. Freestanding- Sculptures which can be viewed from all sides. 3 kindS of ScuLPTure 2. Relief- Sculptures in which the figures project from a background. 0 Low Relief (bas relief) 1 Figures are slightly raised/projected from its 2 background. variations of relief 02 High Relief sculpture Almost half of the figures project from its background, more shadows are created. 3. Kinetic mobiLe A sculpture that is capable of movement by wind, water or other forms of energy. Lesson 3 - The Process of Creating Sculptures  B. ADDITIVE A. SUBTRACTIVE PROCESS The process involves PROCESS the construction of a Involves removing or figure by putting cutting away pieces of together bits of the the material to form material or by the figure. welding together metal parts to create figures.  C. PROCESS OF SUBSTITUTION This process is also known as CASTING. This method involves using a mold to produce a 3D figure in another material.  D. DIFFERENT MEDIA OF SCULPTURE A. STONE B. WOOD C. METAL Also a natural medium. It It has three unique A natural medium. Hard varies in hardness and qualities: tensile and relatively permanent durability depending on the strength, ductility and kind of tree it came from. malleability. D. PLASTER E. TERRA COTTA (COOKED F. GLASS EARTH) It is finely ground gypsum mixed with water Baked clay or clay fired in Made by heating and and poured into mold. a kiln at a relatively high cooling a combination of temperature sand and soda lime.  G. PLASTIC Synthetic medium made from organic polymers.  Lesson 4: Architecture  Art of designing buildings and other structures which will serve a definite function.  A. CONSTRUCTION PRINCIPLE a. Post and Lintel- Makes use of two vertical supports (post) and spanned by a horizontal beam (lintel). It was invented by the Greeks. b. Arch- A Roman invention that consists of separate pieces of wedge-shaped blocks called voussoirs arranged in a semi-circle.  Structures that can be Built from the Principle of Arch: BARREL VAULT A succession of arches GROIN VAULT A structure that is formed by intersecting arches resulting in four openings DOME Structure with the shape of an inverted cup. C. TRUSS System of triangular forms assembled to form a rigid framework. D. CANTILEVER A structure that makes use of a beam or slab that extends horizontally into space beyond its supporting post. E. BUTTRESS A structure that is built as a support for the wall.  ESSON 5 L Media of Architectur e Media of Architecture 1 2 COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH MATERIALS THAT ARE Refers to those materials USED FOR CREATING that can support heavy BUILDING AND weights without crumbling or breaking down. INFRASTRUCTURES  Stones and STONES ARE FAVORED OVER OTHER MATERIALS FOR ITS DURABILITY, Bricks ADAPTABILITY TO SCULPTURAL TREATMENT AND ITS USE FOR BUILDING SIMPLE STRUCTURES IN ITS NATURAL STATE. Lumber (Wood) ALL PARTS OF A BUILDING CAN BE CONSTRUCTED USING WOOD EXCEPT THE FOUNDATIONS Iron and Steel PROVIDE STRONGER AND TALLER STRUCTURES WITH LESS USE OF MATERIAL WHEN COMPARED TO STONE OR WOOD.  Concrete MIXTURE OF CEMENT AND WATER, WITH AGGREGATES OF SAND AND GRAVEL.  LESSON 6 Literature andthe Combined Arts A. Literature Art of combining spoken or written words and their meanings into forms which have artistic and emotional appeal.  B. Types of Literature POETR FICTIO NON-FICTI DRAM Y N ON A It used to follow Written work that is Subject matter Includes all plays strict rules s to the not real and which comes from real or any written number and length uses elaborate life. works that are of lines and stanzas figurative language meant to be but in recent years performed. they have become more free-flowing
