QUARTER
MID-TERM
INTRODUCTION and FOCUS QUESTION
Welcome to this module!
How many times have you looked at
a work of art and wondered "how did they do
that"? We tend to think of the artist as a
solitary being, misunderstood by society,
toiling away in the studio to create a
masterpiece, and yes, there is something
fantastic about a singular creative act
becoming a work of art. The reality is that
artists rely on a support network that includes
family, friends, peers, industries, business
interests and the whole society they live in.
For example, an artist may need only a piece
of paper and pencil to create an extraordinary
drawing, but depends on how artistic and
using good techniques the artist is. Whole
industries surround art making, and artists rely on many different materials in order to realize their work, from
the pencil and paper mentioned above to the painter -- canvas, paints and brushes, the sculptor -- wood,
stone and tools and the photographer -- film, digital camera and software or chemicals used to manipulate an
image.
Many artists learn their craft on their own through practice, study, and experimentation. What is
required to become an artist? Skill and technique are one of the hallmarks that we often value in a work of
art. Becoming skilled means a continual repetition of a craft or procedure until it becomes second nature. And
technique is the manner how the materials are used of having a remarkable work of art.
CONTENT STANDARD PERFORMANCE STANDARD -
The learner shows understanding of the materials and
techniques.
The learner will be able to discriminate among various
materials and techniques.

ARTISTIC SKILLS, TECHNIQUES AND
PERFORMANCE PRACTICES
Many contemporary artists do not have formal studies in the fine arts. Many of them are self-taught.
Concerned with the development of their talent and skills in artmaking, they study on their own, interact
with artists and read a lot about lives of artists and their artworks. They also explore the materials in
hardware stores, experiment with chemical reactions on their base material. Some hire resin makers,
house painters and materials fabricators to help them in constructing artworks.
In this lesson, we will learn the meaning of “artistic skill” and “technique” through actual and handson activities. We will also learn that artists’ choice of material and how they use these materials are at the
heart of making art, and that these involves process and transformation.
Technique is the manner in which artists use and manipulate materials to achieve the desired
form effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning according to his or her personal style
(modern, neoclassic, etc.). The distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique.
Technique involves tools and technology, ranging from the most traditional (For example: carving,
silkscreen, analog photography, and filmmaking) to the most contemporary (digital photography, digital
filmmaking, music production, industrial design, and robotics).

Here are some of art techniques used by artists.
1. Collage – is the technique of an art production used in the visual arts where the artwork is made from
on assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage may sometimes include
magazines and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paints, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of
other artwork or texts, photographs, and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
2. Decollage – is the opposite of collage; instead of an image is being built up all or parts of existing
images, it is created by cutting, treating away or otherwise removing pieces of an original image. The
French word “Decollage” in English means “Take-off” or “To become Unglued” or “To become unstuck”.
Example of decollage include cut-up technique. Similar technique is the lacerated poster, a poster in
which one has been over another.
3. Graffiti – are writing or drawings that have been scribed, scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall or other
surface, often in a public space. Graffiti range from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.
Graffiti may express underlying social and political messages, and a whole genre of artistic expression
is based spray paint graffiti styles.
4. Land Art – earth works, or earth arts is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are
inextricably linked. It is also an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as soil,
rock (bed rock, bolders, stones), organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and water which introduced
materials such as concrete, metal asphalt, or mineral pigments.
5. Digital Arts – is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the
creative or presentation process. Digital art is work made with digital technology or presented on digital
technology. This includes images done completely on computer or hand-drawn images scanned into a
computer and finished using a software program like Adobe Illustrator. Digital art can also involve
animation and 3D virtual sculpture renderings as well as projects that combine several technologies.
Some digital art involves manipulation of video images. After some resistance, the impact of digital
technology has transformed activities such as paintings, drawing, sculpture, and music/sound art, while
new form such as net art.
6. Mixed Media – It refers to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art. For
example, work on canvas that combines paint, ink and collage. When creating a painted or photograph
work using mixed media, it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough dying time
between the layers to ensure the final work will have structural integrity, if many different layers are
imposed. Many effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Found objects can be used in
conjunction with the traditional artist to attain a wide range of self-expression.
7. Print Making – is the process of making artworks by painting, normally in the paper. Prints are created
by transforming ink from a matrix ink from a matrix or through a prepared screen to a sheet of paper or
other material. Common types of matrices include metal plates, usually copper or zinc, or polymer plates
for engraving or etching; stone aluminum of polymer for lithography; blocks of wood crafts and wood
graving; and linoleum for linocuts. Screen made of silk or synthetic fabrics are used for the screenprinting process.
8. Frottage – is the technique of rubbing with crayon on a piece of paper which has been placed over an
object or an image. The impression of the image can be created using leaves, woods, wire screen, or
metal with embossed image or words.
9. Decalcomania – is the process of applying gouache to paper or glass then transferring a reversal of
the image onto canvas or other flat materials.
10. Decoupage – is done by adhering cut-outs of paper and then coating these with one or transparent
coating of varnish.
11. Eggshell mosaic - is an artistic technique that uses tiny parts of eggshell to create a whole image or
object. Mosaics are usually assembled using small tiles that are square, but they can also be round or
randomly shaped.

12. Trapunto painting – is the technique used by Pacita Abad where her canvases
are padded, sewn, and often filled with sequins, beads, shell, buttons, tiny mirrors,
bits of glass, rickrack, swatches of precious textiles and other things that she picks
up from her travels and journey.

Art is considered an “artifact’ when it is directly experienced and perceived. It can be spatial and
static or unmoving (e.g., a painting or building, or a novel) or time based and in motion (e.g., a live theater
production, mobile sculpture).
To know the full meaning of a work, it is also necessary to study the material from which it is made
and how it is made.
ARTISTIC SKILLS
With the broadening of the art world, many people are getting confused about what qualifies as an
artistic skill. Artistic skills are abilities that are possessed by artists who operate within a fine art capacity.
Each artist uses different mediums to develop their artistic skills. A medium is defined as the
material, or the substance out of which a work is made. Through these materials, the artists express and
communicate feelings and ideas.
The medium also defines the nature of the art form as follows:
1. The sculptor uses metal, wood, stone, clay, and glass. Sculptures fall within the category of “threedimensional” arts because they occupy space and have volume.
Pottery is a form of sculpture. Other examples are nudes or figures such as Guillermo
Tolentino’s Oblation, ritual objects such as bul’ul wood carvings in the cordillera, or the santos or
carvings of saints in Christian churches.
2. The architect uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete and various building materials. Buildings
are also called “three-dimensional”. However, architecture has the added element of time since we
move into structures.
3. The painter uses pigments (e. g. watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink, etc.) on a usually
flat ground (wood, canvas, paper, stone wall such as cave paintings.)
4. The printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a surface (wood, metal plates, or silk screen) that is
keeping with a duplicating or reproducing process. Prints and paintings are further classified as “twodimensional” arts, because they include the surface or ground on which coloring substances are
applied. However, while paintings are unique and one-of-a kind, prints can be reproduced in several
pre-determined editions.
5. The musician uses sound and instruments (including human voice), while the dancers use the body.
A T’boli chanter sings creation stories in a way that is different from a classical singer or pop music
influenced by the Western music scale.
6. The dancer uses his/her body and its movement. Dance is often accompanied by music, but there are
dances that do not rely on musical accompaniment to be realized. Dance can tell stories, but the other
times, they convey abstract ideas that do not rely on a narrative.
7. The theater artist integrates all the arts and uses the stage, production design, performance elements,
and script to enable the visual, musical, dance and other aspects to come together as a whole work.
8. The photographer and filmmaker use the camera to record the outside world. The filmmaker uses the
cinematographic camera to record and put together production design, sound engineering,
performance, and screenplay. In digital photography and film, the images can be assimilated into the
computer, thus eliminating the need for celluloid or negatives, processing chemicals, or print.

Filmmaking
Film production is the process of making a film. The direction or production of films for the cinema
or television. It is a visual story telling. Film making involves a number of discrete stages including an initial
story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and reproduction,
editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and
exhibition. Film making takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and
political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a
large number of people, and can take from a few months to several years to complete.
5 Stages of Filmmaking:
1st – Development - the first stage in which the ideas for the film are created, rights to books/plays
are bought etc., and the screenplay is written. Financing for the project has to be sought and green
lit.
2nd – Pre-production - Preparation are made for the shoot, in which cast and film crew are hired,
locations are selected and sets are built.
3rd – Production - The raw elements for the film are recorded during the film shoot.
4th – Post production - The images, sound, and visual effects of the recorded film are edited.
5th – Distribution - The finished film is distributed and screened in cinemas and released to home
video. Filmmaker is the one who takes the onus of a feature film from beginning to end, and most
commonly fulfills the dual role of producer and director (or more).
9. The writer of a novel, poetry, nonfiction, and fiction uses words. The designer, the performance artist
and installation artist combine use of the range or materials above.
Contemporary Techniques:
A. Digital photography - Uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photo detectors to capture
images focused by a lens, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. The captured images are
digitized and stored as a computer file ready for further digital processing, viewing, electronic
publishing, or digital printing.
B. Digital film making - Is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to blend art and digital media and
speed up the process of film making as well as be more creative and enterprising in the special effects
department. In short, more flexible digital cameras—such as the Panasonic HVX 200 and the RED
One and Scarlet cameras—and editing software such as Final Cut Pro Studio, have made the
cinematographer's and editor's jobs easier and made it possible for filmmakers to produce quality films
at much less expensive cost.
C. Music production - It is the process of creating a recorded music project. A record producer usually
handles music production, managing every aspect. That can include being a critical part of the creative
process, such as deciding what instruments are used and contributing to song arrangements. Since
music production plays a vital role in the quality of the final product, it can make or break the success
of an album. Record producers give recommendations on which songs are best to record; manage
financial aspects of recording; hire outside performers, if needed; and work with sound engineers in
the recording process.
D. Industrial design - It is a combination of art and engineering; drawing skills, creativity and technical
knowledge is critical. Industrial designers usually choose to work on products in a specific industry,
such as the medical, automobile, or technology industry.
E. Robotics - It is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and engineering.
Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design
intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep everyone safe.
