The Process of Art
Production
REPORTER: MS. CAMACHO, ALLEAH KYLA
The Medium
When an artist is ready to express himself in Art and to
give shape to his vision, his first thoughts would be on what
medium to use. As long as his work will not cause harm to the
environment, and to people then it is fine. Each medium has its
own range of characteristics which will determine the physical
appearance of the product. The artist should understand his
medium because each medium has its own way of behaving.
An artist's choice of medium is usually influenced
by three considerations:
1. The availability of the material.
2. The nature and special characteristics of the material.
3. The idea he wants to communicate.
The Technique
An artist's knowledge of the medium and his skill in
making it achieve what he wants to is the artist's technique. A
wise artist knows that he should not stop learning. He should
let himself and his art evolve with the changing society without
sacrificing his style and individually as an artist.
Curation
Curation is derived from the Latin word "curare" which
means to take care. It is the process that involves managing,
overseeing, and assembling or putting together a presentation
or exhibit for some type of historical or artistic collection. The
person that responsible for this task is called a curator.
For museums and galleries, specifically the
curation process undergoes the following steps:
1. Curator decides on which art works or historical objects
should be included in the collection.
2. After the objects had been chosen and gathered, the
collection must be culled to fit within the space in the
gallery.
3. After arranging the pieces, the curator then provides
context for each piece.
The Different Media of
The Visual
REPORTER: MS. LALONGISIP, AVEGAIL MENA
A. Graphic or Two Dimensional Arts
Drawing - This is the fundamental skill needed in the
visual arts.
Different Media for Drawing:
1. Pencils - This is made of graphite which comes in different hardness
from soft to hard or thickness from thick to needle like making possible a
wide range of values.
• Hatching - Is drawing a series of thin parallel lines that run in the same
direction.
• Cross-Hatching - Is drawing a series of thin parallel lines and crisscrossing it with another set of thin parallel lines. This creates a tone that is
darker than hatching.
• Stippling - Is using the sharp point of the pencil to make dot patterns to
create depth in some parts of the drawing.
• Blending - Is at times accomplished by using the finger or a paper stump
to gradually change the tone from Dark to light.
Different Media for Drawing:
2. Ink - Is used in making the beautiful handwritings produced
in calligraphy which in itself is an art.
Different Media for Drawing:
3. Pastel - This is composed of dry pigment held together
by a gum binder and compressed into stick.
3 Kinds of Pastel:
- Soft pastel
- Hard pastel
- Oil pastel
Different Media for Drawing:
• A) Stippling - Is using pastel of different colors to
produce small marks, thus creating a pattern.
Different Media for Drawing:
• B) Feathering - Is using the points of the pastel to make
parallel stickers creating a feather like effect.
Different Media for Drawing:
• C) Scumbling - 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.
Different Media for Drawing
• D) Impasto - Is the technique of thickly applying the pastel by
pressing it hard on the paper creating an opaque effect.
Different Media for Drawing
• E) Sgrafitto - Is applying a thick deposit of pastel on the
support then using a blunt pen, scrapes it off to reveal the
underlying color and create the design.
Different Media for Drawing:
4)
Charcoal - This is an organic medium that
comes from burnt wood.
• 2 kinds of charcoal
- The Compressed Charcoal or
Manufactured Charcoal - Is made from
loose charcoal mixed with a binder and
pressed into sticks vine charcoal which
comes in thin sticks that is easy to blend
and erase.
Different Media for Drawing:
5) Paper - Is an organic material made from wood, grass, linen
rags.
6) Painting - Described as the art of creating beautiful effects on
a flat surface.
Different Media used for Drawing:
1) Water Color - That pigments are mixed with water and applied to paper.
2) Gouache - This is paint in which the pigment has been mixed with water
and added with a chalk like material to give it an opaque effect.
3) Oil Paints - The pigments are mixed with oil as its binder.
4) Tempera - This pigment mixed with egg yolks (sometimes with the
white) as binder.
5) Fresco - This is pigment mixed with water and applied on a portion of
the wall with wet plaster.
Different Media used for Drawing:
7) Collage - Is derived from a French World "Coller" which
means to stick. A collage is a technique of making an art work
by giving or pasting on a firm support materials or found
objects.
Different Media used for Drawing:
8) Printmaking - This is a process used for making reproductions of
graphics works.
- Relief Printing (raised) - The oldest method of print making. The
technique involves cutting away certain parts of the surface, usually
a block of wood and leaving the ‘raised’ parts to produce the image.
Different Media used for Drawing:
- Intaglio Printing (depressed) - The technique is an opposite
of relief printing, instead of using the surface of the plate for
the image, the line of the image are cut or incised to a metal
plate.
Different Media used for Drawing:
- Surface printing (flat) - This includes all processes in which
printing is done from a flat surface (plane).
B. Plastic or three Dimensional Art
Sculpture - The word sculpture has originated from the
Latin word "sculpers" which means to carve. It is defined as the
art of practice of creating three Dimensional forms or figure _it
is the art form that is described as having length, width and
volume.
3 Kinds of Sculpture:
1. Freestanding - These are sculpture which can be viewed from all sides.
3 Kinds of Sculpture
2. Relief - This are sculptures in which
the figures project from a background.
2 Variation of Relief Sculpture
Low relief - The figures are slightly
raised/projected from its background, less
shadow are created.
-High relief - Almost half of the figures
project from its background, more
shadows are created.
3. Kinetic (mobiles) – A sculpture that is
capable of movement by wind, water or
other forms of energy.
The Process of Creating
Sculpture
REPORTER: MS. SASTADO, BABY MAE
Substractive Process
• This process involves removing or
cutting away pieces of the material to
form the figure.
• The sculptor achieves this through
the use of special tools like chisels,
hammers, saw and grinders.
• For a sculptor, removing pieces of
the material is like ‘freeing’ the figure
that is hidden or trapped within the
material.
Additive Process
• Process involves the
construction of a figure by
putting together bits of the
material or by welding
together metal together metal
parts to create figures.
• Modeling and assembling are
example of this process.
MODELING
ASSEMBLING
Process of Substitution
• This process is also known as casting
• This method involves using a mold to produce a 3D figure in
another materials.
• The material should be in liquid form for it to a poured to the
mold.
Process of Substitution

Sculpture
REPORTER: MR. COLLADO, CARL
Different Media Sculpture
• Through the centuries, sculptors have experimented on
materials to be used for their sculptures. They have
discovered that they can use natural and man-made materials
to achieve expression in a three-dimensional form.
1. Stone
• Hard and relatively permanent.
• Sculptures made from stone will last for many years.
• Marble is deemed by sculptors as the most beautiful stone for
sculpture.
2. Wood
• Easy to work on
• Wood varies in hardness and durability depending on the
kind of tree Philippines best woods for Sculptures Molave,
Acacia, Langka wood, Ipil wood, Kamagong, Palm wood and
Bamboo
3. Metal
• This is use for sculpture because of its three unique qualities
Tensile strength, Ductility and Malleability o
• Two ways to make beautiful sculptures using metal o
• Assembling (welding) o
• Casting Ideal metals for sculptures are alloys that has a
combination of two elements.
3. Metal

Media of Architecture
REPORTER: MS. IBAÑEZ, MARY ROSE
Media of Architecture
• Compressive strength refers to those materials that can
support heavy weights without crumbling or breaking down
while tensile strength refers to those materials that can
withstand being pulled or stretch without breaking.
Media of Architecture
• The following are materials that are used for creating
buildings and infrastructure:
• Stones and Bricks - stones are favored over other materials
for its durability, adaptability to sculptural treatment and its
use for building simple structures in its natural state. Bricks
compare favorably with stones as a structural material.
• Lumber (wood) - all parts of a building can be constructed
using wood except the foundations; its major disadvantages
are susceptibility to fire, mold and termites.
