This note version provides a brief overview of painting styles and approaches, focusing on their characteristics and how they impact the viewer. SCULPTURE: Sculpture: Note Version Sculpture: An art form that requires creative balance, material manipulation, and physical strength. Traditionally made from materials like marble, metal, and wood, modern sculpture incorporates new materials and technologies. Sculptural Processes: Stone: Carved, drilled, abraded, and polished. Wood: Flexible and can be bent, molded, or carved, but is prone to warping and cracking. Resin: Popular in contemporary art, especially in the Philippines. Common Materials: Granite, limestone, marble, wood, clay, metals. Four Basic Sculpture Techniques: Modeling: Additive process using malleable materials (e.g., clay) shaped over an armature. Carving: Subtractive process, cutting away material (stone, wood). Example: Ramon Orlina's glass sculptures. Casting: Creating a permanent sculpture by casting in metal or resin from an original clay or wax model. Example: Ed Defensor\'s The Battle. Assembling: Combining different materials (e.g., found objects) using adhesive or welding. Styles and Movements in Sculpture Monolithic Sculpture: A large, single block of material, often monumental in scale. Constructivism: Focuses on construction and industrial materials, emphasizing geometric forms and a lack of traditional artistic aesthetics. Grotto: Sculptural spaces or artificial caves often used as environmental installations or backdrops. Box: Description: Sculptures created in the shape of a box or using box-like structures. These works often explore containment, confinement, or the idea of art as a package or container. Characteristics: Can be closed, portable, and exhibit careful craftsmanship. The box form can serve both a functional and artistic purpose, connecting to themes of order, protection, and preservation. Art Appreciation Elements: Description: Identify subject matter, materials, and form. Analysis: Study style, design qualities, and the artist\'s technique. Interpretation: Focus on the theme, mood, or idea conveyed by the sculpture. Example: Ed Defensor\'s Mother and Child (1999) Description: Concrete sculpture representing a mother and child, mounted in a garden. Materials: Reinforced concrete polished for smoothness; lacks detailed form but conveys warmth. Art Elements: Use of space, allowing light and air to penetrate the sculpture. Simplified but expressive gesture showing the love between mother and child. Questions for Analysis: How was the sculpture made? What emotions does it evoke? How does it compare to other sculptures? Interpretation: Message: Universal theme of motherly love and childhood. Emotion: Despite being made of hard material, the sculpture appeals to human emotions, showcasing a soft, loving gesture. ARCHITECTURE: Elements and Principles in Architecture: Size: Relates the structure and its parts to the human beings who occupy the space. Scale: Relates to the proportion of an object or space to all the other objects in it and to the human beings and their activities held in the structure. Emphasis: Major and subordinate elements are determined in the structural design. Pattern and Ornamental: Artistic surfaces designed by the structural limits, edges, and corners. Materials in Architecture: Cast Iron: Used for building structures like bridges or fountains, popular in the 1800s. Steel Manufacture and Fabrication: Includes processes such as cutting, drilling, bending, pressing, and rolling to form steel components. Reinforced Concrete and Ferroconcrete: Concrete embedded with steel to resist forces; the steel absorbs tensile, shear, and sometimes compressive stresses. Structural Devices in Architecture: Post-and-Lintel: Uses vertical and horizontal elements; verticals support the horizontals, creating a basic structure. Cantilever: A rigid body fixed at one end, supporting loads and forces without shifting. Truss System: A triangulated system of interconnected structural elements, often called an open web girder. Arch: A curved part of a structure that supports an opening, providing flexibility and support. Vault: A self-supporting arched form used to cover a space with a ceiling or roof. Dome: A spherical architectural element that covers a space, often overlapping with cupola design. Shell Structure: Consists of curved sheets defining the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, self-supporting without internal beams or columns. Solar Panels: Collect sunlight and convert it into electricity for homes or businesses. Style in Contemporary Architecture: Unique Shapes: Buildings often have unusual or irregular shapes, standing out from traditional designs. Open Spaces: Fewer walls create flexible, open living areas. Large Windows: Big windows connect indoors with outdoors and allow natural light. Eco-Friendly Materials: Use of green and repurposed materials to promote sustainability. Blending with Nature: Designs that fit into their surroundings and meet environmental needs. Contemporary Architectural Styles: Biomorphic Architecture: Inspired by nature, with shapes mimicking living organisms. Example: Saint Andrew the Apostle Church in Makati. Environment-Friendly Architecture: Uses sustainable and recycled materials. Examples: Green Canyon Resort and Pearl Farm Resort. Industrial Architecture: Features raw, unfinished materials, focusing on functionality and aesthetics. Example: Henry Hotel lobby. Art Appreciation in Architecture: Description: Discuss subject matter, materials, and form. Analysis: Focus on style, design qualities, and the architect's technique. Interpretation: Examine the theme, mood, or idea communicated, and evaluate the beauty of the architecture. MUSIC: Music Definition: Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
