1\. **Humanities** -- Refers to the study of the human experience, how people process and record their thoughts, beliefs, and longings. 2\. **Science** -- It deals with the objective study of the external world, what we see in it, and all the processes that happen within it. In contemporary arts, several Humanities disciplines play significant roles. Here are some of the most important examples: 1\. Art History - Provides context and understanding of past art movements, influences contemporary artists, and informs art criticism and curation. 2\. Philosophy - Especially aesthetics, informs contemporary artists on concepts of beauty, meaning, and ethics, influencing their creative processes and thematic explorations. 3\. Cultural Studies - Helps contemporary artists explore and critique cultural norms, identities, and societal structures, often leading to art that reflects or challenges contemporary issues. 4\. Literature - Inspires contemporary artists with themes, narratives, and techniques, and often serves as a source for adaptation or interpretation in visual and performance arts. 5\. History - Provides a rich source of themes, events, and figures that contemporary artists can draw upon to create works that comment on or reinterpret historical contexts. 6\. Linguistics - Informs artists, especially those involved in textual and performance arts, about the nuances of language, communication, and meaning. 7\. Theater and Performing Arts - Merges with contemporary visual arts in performance art, where live enactment and visual presentation intersect. These disciplines enrich contemporary arts by providing deeper insights, critical frameworks, and diverse perspectives that artists use to inform and enhance their creative endeavors. In contemporary arts, several Scientific disciplines play crucial roles. Here are five of the most important examples: 1\. Psychology - Provides insights into human behavior, perception, and emotions, influencing how artists understand and depict the human experience, as well as how audiences interact with and interpret art. 2\. Technology and Computer Science - Powers digital art, animation, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and interactive installations, expanding the possibilities for artistic expression and audience engagement. 3\. Physics - Especially optics and light, informs the use of lighting, color, and materials in visual arts, as well as the principles behind kinetic art and sculpture. 4\. Biology - Inspires bio-art, where living organisms are used as artistic media, and provides insights into human anatomy for more accurate and expressive depictions in various art forms. 5\. Mathematics - Influences patterns, symmetry, and structure in visual arts, as well as algorithms and computational methods used in generative art and complex design processes. These scientific disciplines enhance contemporary arts by providing new tools, techniques, and conceptual frameworks, enabling artists to explore innovative forms of expression and engage with audiences in unique ways. Elements of Art 1\. Space Space is created when an artist arranges shapes in a piece of art. Artists can create a foreground and a background or a vanishing point. There are two types of space: positive (the object/subject) and negative (the empty area between shapes). 2\. Line It is the extension of a point, a short or long drawn mark, or carved surface. Line could also imply directions like vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. 3\. Shape When the ends of the line meet, they form a shape. Shape could also be geometric (angular) or organic (curvy). Form is slightly similar to shape; it is also an enclosed line but is three-dimensional. 4\. Form Form is a three-dimensional object with volume of height, width, and depth. These objects include cubes, spheres, and cylinders. Form is often used when referring to physical works of art, like sculptures, as form is connected most closely with those three-dimensional works. 5\. Color It is a sensation created by visible wavelengths of light caught in a prism. \- Monochromatic: This color scheme involves using the same hue but with different gradients of value. \- Analogous: The analogous color scheme entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color wheel. \- Complementary: The complementary color scheme involves the use of a color and its complement---meaning the color located opposite of the first color. \- Split Complementary: This color scheme uses the two colors adjacent to the complement instead of using the color's complement. \- Triadic: This color scheme uses three colors that are equal distance from each other. \- Tetradic: Also known as double complementary color scheme. This uses two pairs of complementary colors. 6\. Value Value describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Artists use it to create the illusion of light and shadows in a painting. 7\. Texture It is the surface of an artwork. A texture could be actual or tactile and simulated or illusory. Painting \- Refers to the process of applying color on a flat surface. \- Can be created using various materials such as watercolor, acrylic, ink, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Painting Surfaces \- Include wood, canvas, cardboard, and paper. \- Painting is considered two-dimensional, meaning it only has height and width. Forms of Painting \- Easel \- Mural \- Telon \- Jeepney and Calesa painting \- Collage Easel \- Most common art forms \- Involves applying color to a board or canvas fixed on an upright support called an easel. Mural \- Huge wall-size painting \- Used during the 1980s to impart messages to increase social awareness. Telon \- A backdrop or background for the stage, used in theater forms like komedya, sarswela, and sinakulo. \- Also used during carnivals, fiestas, and religious celebrations. Jeepney & Calesa Painting \- Evolved from calesa painting, often with geometric patterns and other designs. Collage \- Involves combining images in a single artwork using materials such as paper, fabric, and tin foil. Themes of Painting \- Genre painting \- Historical painting \- Interior \- Landscape \- Portrait \- Nudes \- Religious painting \- Still life Genre Painting \- Portrays people in daily activities. Historical Painting \- Depicts scenes from the past, often with a lesson on national values. Interior \- Refers to the painting of the inside of a house or building, revealing social class and traits of the occupants. Landscapes \- Portrays natural or urban scenery, sometimes using mixed media. Portraits \- Paintings that portray one or more specific individuals, showing physical characteristics and character. Nudes \- Paintings that depict the unclothed human figure, using various materials and styles. Religious Painting \- Common subjects include religious images, lives of saints, and scenes from Scriptures. Still Life \- Depicts natural or man-made objects forming a composition in a natural setting.
