**CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS FROM THE REGIONS** **2^ND^ QUARTER SY 2024 -- 2025 REVIEWER** **TOPIC 1: ELEMENTS OF ART** **Element of Arts --** the building blocks used by artist to create a work of art. a. **Line** -- a mark with greater length than width. Line can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. b. **Shape** -- a closed line. Shapes can be **GEOMETRIC** like circle and square. **ORGANIC** or free-from or natural shape. Shapes are flat and can express length and width. c. **Forms** -- three-dimensional shape shapes expressing length and width like pyramid, sphere, cube etc**.** d. **Space** -- the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called **negative space. Positive space** has space. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art, when we create the feeling or illusion of depth, we call it space. e. **Texture --** the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look. f. **Color --** the light reflected off an object.\ **a.) hue** (the name of the color, such as red, green,\ blue, etc.) **b.) value** (how light or dark it is) **c.) intensity** (how bright or dull it is) **Principles of Design --** describe the ways that artists use their elements of art in a work of art. Can be called as "organization of art elements". a. **Balance -** is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. 1. In **symmetrical balance,** the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; 2. in **asymmetrical balance,** the sides are different but still look balanced. 3. In **radial balance**, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar. b. **Emphasis -** is the part of the design that catches the viewer's attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc. c. **Movement -** is the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. d. **Pattern -** is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art**.** e. **Repetition -** works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art. f. **Proportion -** is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body. g. **Rhythm - i**s created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential. h. **Variety -** is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer's attention and to guide the viewer's eye through and around the work of art. i. **Unity** - is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness. **TOPIC 3: CONTEXT AND THEMES** **Context -** the factors that surround a work of art. **The following are inquiries about the context of an artwork:** - What key historical events occurred at the time the work was created? - What scientific discoveries or technological innovations may have influenced the artist? - What were the other artistic influences on the work? - What were the philosophical ideas of the time that informed the artwork? - What were the cultural influences? - Who was the intended audience? - Is the artist identified with a particular movement, school or style? - What was the original purpose of the artwork? - Context of art maybe classified into two: **Context of art maybe classified into two:** **Formal Analysis** An important technique for organizing visual information. In other words, it is a strategy used to translate what you see into written words. This strategy can be applied to any work of art, from any period in history, whether a photograph, sculpture, painting or cultural artifact. Discuss not what you think you see, but what you actually see. Describe what the work of art looks like. **Description**\ Discuss not what you think you see, but what you actually see. Describe what the work of art looks like. Describe the lines the artist used. Describe the colors the artist used. Describe the texture the artist used. Describe the space and how it is arranged the artist used. Describe the values the artist used. Describe the shapes the artist used. If it is 3D, describe the forms the artist used. **Analysis**\ Determine how the artwork is composed, or put together using the principles of design. How did the artist achieve balance? How did the artist use rhythm? How did the artist create unity? Are there common colors, lines, that lead your eye from one point to another? Patterns? Which part of the artwork is emphasized? What areas have the most contrast? **The Art World** The art world is composed of all the people involved in the production, commission, presentation, preservation, promotion, chronicling, criticism, sale or consumption of art. Core Activities: Production of Art: Artists and their studios, collectives and workshops, associations, clubs and societies Exhibition of Art Galleries - Public-national, regional, metropolitan - Commercial - Temporary -- public or private - Heritage houses, heritage sites, and culture parks Collateral Activities\ b.

It is composed of two basic elements -- the fire and the censer. The fire is a stylized letter K of Philippine indigenous script that stands for kadakilaan or greatness. The fire represents the highest level of imagination and emanates from a three-tiered censer. The three tiers stand for organization, economic support, and an orientation rooted on a thorough grasp of tradition and history, which the NCCA provides. Done in gold to symbolize the immense wealth of Philippine culture, it was designed by the late Romeo "Boy" Togonon - **CCP, Cultural Center of the Philippines** - **NM, National Museum** - **NHCP, National Historical Commission of the Philippines** **THEMES** **TOPIC 4 -- PRODUCTION** **Types of Production** - **Art Exhibit** - **Music** - **Dance** - **Theater** - **Film** - **Hybrid** **Designing an Exhibition\ **An exhibition tells a story to a visitor. It appeals to people through their senses using: 1. Visual Stimulus, which is the strongest and most memorable 2. Other modes of perception, such as hearing, which is immediate and associative; 3. Text and reading, which require the most effort and mental processing. a. **Curator -** the one who develops the concept of the exhibition, writes and interprets information related to the objects. b. **Educator -** The one who develops, implements, supervises educational programs for the exhibit such as preparing the notes, brochures, and lectures. c. **Conservator -** Manage, preserve, treat, and document works of art, artifacts, and specimens---work that may require substantial historical, scientific, and archaeological research. Conservators document their findings and treat items to minimize their deterioration or to restore them to their original state. d. **Creative Director -** Creative directors generally develop and oversee projects at the earliest stages. They cast vision, form concepts and pilot design philosophy. These are the big-picture thinkers of the team. They can close their eyes and see the finished product, even though it hasn't been created yet. And while their focus is typically on the bigger picture of getting the work done and the direction it'll take, that doesn't mean an eye for detail falls to the wayside. e. **Writer -** The person who tells a story. In an art production, the writer is the one who thinks of the story and what the characters say and do. They make up all the exciting adventures and conversations that happen in the movie, TV show, play, or book you enjoy! They\'re like the storytellers of the team, making everything come to life with words. f. **Composer** - A music composer is someone who creates music. They are like the architects of music, designing and putting together the different elements that make up a song or a piece of music. Just like a chef combines different ingredients to make a delicious meal, a composer combines notes, rhythms, melodies, and harmonies to make beautiful music. g. **Music-related roles** Audio Technician Conductor DJs Musician Singer Sound Engineer **Dance** A Choreographer creates original dance movements and routines for performances and productions. They also develop different interpretations of existing dances for an individual dancer or group of dancers. **Actor** - An actor is someone whose job is acting in plays or films. - Actors communicate a character or situation to an audience through speech, body language and movement across a variety of mediums, including theatre, film, television, radio and video **Backstage Crew** The backstage crew plays a crucial role in the production of any live performance, whether it\'s a theater play, musical, concert, or any other live event. These behind-the-scenes professionals work tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly during a performance. **Stages of Production** **Pre-Production** The initial planning phase of a creative project, where concepts are developed, scripts are written, budgets are established, and key decisions are made regarding the cast, crew, and locations. It involves extensive research, brainstorming, and organization to lay the foundation for the production process. **Production** The phase where the planned ideas come to life. It involves the actual shooting or recording of the project, where the creative vision is executed. This phase includes coordinating the crew, directing actors, capturing footage, and ensuring that everything aligns with the pre-established plan. Production is a hands-on, dynamic process that requires careful management and creative collaboration. **Post-Production** Takes place after filming or recording is completed. It encompasses all the activities that happen after the raw footage is captured, including editing, visual effects, sound design, and color grading. Post-production is where the project is fine-tuned, polished, and made ready for distribution. It involves meticulous attention to detail & the integration of various elements to create the final version of the project that audiences will see or experience.
