Practical art Lesson 1 Materials (Mediums) and Application of Techniques in Contemporary Arts What I Need to Know Artists, craftspeople, and designers use a broad range of materials, techniques, and processes in their work, sometimes combining traditional craft with contemporary art and design in innovative ways. Substances or materials used in the creation of works of art, as well as any production or manufacturing techniques, processes or methods incorporated in the manufacture thereof. This information includes a description of both the materials used to create the work and the way in which they have been put together. Developments in emerging technology have created a variety of new possibilities for the creative process. The purpose of this lesson is to improve the knowledge, skills and understanding of learners to work safely and creatively with the resources techniques and processes associated with their specific pathway. It will allow learners to explore, experiment and understand the use of a broad range of materials, techniques, and processes. In the aim of molding the artist within among the learners and in developing distillation of existing art works. Moreover, the learners can demonstrate their skills and understanding in order to select and use appropriate materials and techniques. Finally, learners will also examine the various qualities and characteristics of different art media, critically evaluate and refine their experiments at different stages. They must learn to critically evaluate and refine their experiments at different stages of progress. What’s New Activity 1: Definition of Terms Define the following words and use it in a sentence. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. medium technique artist musician Critique 1 What Is It Mediums and techniques are not neutral or accidental, but part of the context of the work. It also dictates to a large degree the forms in which we perceive and respond to the work of art. In contemporary art, the medium has become largely dependent on conventions; artists are experimenting and inventing new mediums and techniques, thereby widening the range of artistic tools. 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 describes the essence of the type of art as follows: • • • • • • • • • • Sculptures are made of metal, wood stone, clay, and glass. Sculptures fall within the category of “three dimensional “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 bulul wood carvings in the Cordillera, or the santos or carvings of saints in Christian churches. Architecture uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete, and various building materials. Buildings are also called “three-dimensional arts because like sculpture, they occupy space and have volume. However, architecture has the added element of time since we move into the structures. Painting uses pigments (watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink etc.) on a usually flat ground (wood, canvas, paper, stone wall such as in cave paintings.) Prints uses ink printed or transferred on a surface. (wood, metal plates, or silk screen) that is in keeping with a duplication or reproducing process. Prints and paintings are further classified as “two dimensional” 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. Music is composed of sound and instruments (including the human voice. A T’ boli chanter sings creation stories in a way that is different from a classical singer or pop music singer influenced by the Western music scale. Dance uses the human body and its movements. Theater 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. Photography uses the camera to record outside world Film uses the cinematographic camera to record and put together production design, sound engineering, performance, and screen play. Creative writing can be a novel, poetry, nonfiction, and fiction uses words. The following are the classification of arts base on the mediums. 1. Musical arts include music, poetry and dance that is accompanied by music. 2. Practical arts use for everyday and business life such as design, architecture, and furniture. 3. Environmental arts occupy space and change in its meaning and function depending on their categories including architecture, sculpture, and site-specific works such as installations and public art. 4. Pictorial arts include painting, drawing, graphics and stage and production design. 5. Dramatic arts include drama, performance art, music, and dance. 6. Narrative arts include drama, novel, fiction, nonfiction, music, and dance. 2 Technique is the way in which artists use and manipulate materials to achieve the desired formal effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning, according to his or her personal style. The distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique. For example, stone is chiseled, wood is carved, clay is modeled and shaped, metal is cast, and thread is woven. Technique involves tools and technology, ranging from the most traditional (carving, silkscreen, analog, photography and filmmaking) to the most contemporary (digital photography, digital filmmaking, music production, industrial design, and robotics). For example, the mural Filipino Struggles Through History (1963) by National Artists Carlos Francisco depicts Andres Bonifacio leading the revolution. It takes advantage of line and color to communicate dynamism and intense https://bit.ly/2JmCJbP passion, in the expressionist modern style. The Bonifacio monument by another Artist, Guillermo Tolentino (below)on the other hand , make use of the carving to come up with work that has mass and volume, enabling him to depict the scene realistically capturing a moment of stillness when Bonifacio stands reflectively on a scene of death, but with grace and dignity befitting a leader in Neoclassic style.(crafted: Flaudette May Datulin et. Al. Contemporary Philippine Arts of the Regions p. 89-93) https://bit.ly/2JmCJbP The art critique is a systematic study and assessment of a piece of art. Although no two people can have the same reaction to, or view, a work of art in the same way, there are a few simple principles that can be followed to produce a critical, detailed critique. (crafted: https://www.wikihow.com/Critique-Artwork) 3 A. Description (Describing the work for critiquing) Gather important knowledge about being a critique. It is the sort of stuff on the label of a museum or gallery, or in an art book. Knowing the history of a piece will make a major difference in the way you view and understand it. Start your criticism by providing the following information: • Title of the work • Artist’s name • When the piece was created • Where it was made • The types of media used to create the work (e.g., oil paint on canvas) • The exact size of the work https://bit.ly/3eheHul 1. Describe what you see. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Describe the artwork using fair words. For example, you might say, "This is a small-scale portrait painting of a young woman, seen from the middle torso up against a dark background. She clasps her hands in front of her chest and looks up slightly to the right of the audience. She wears a pink dress and a long veil that falls behind her head. "Avoid using words like "beautiful," "ugly," "good" or "evil." Discuss the work's elements. Describe the work in details. Talk about how art uses these five basic elements in art and design: line, color, space, light, and form. Describe how to use the line. Lines in a piece of art may be either explicit or symbolic. Lines in a piece of art may be either explicit or symbolic. Different types of lines may produce various moods or effects. The rough, sketchy lines build a sense of movement and independence, while the smooth, firm lines sound more still and carefully designed. The arrangement of figures and objects within a scene can indicate a line of sight or action. Speak about how color is used. Note characteristics such as hue (red, green, blue, etc.), color (lightness or darkness) and strength. Look at the overall color scheme and think about how colors fit together. For example, do the colors clash, or are they harmonious? Does the work use a variety of colors, or is it monochromatic (all shades of blue, for example)? Describe the use of space in the work. "Space" refers to the areas around and within objects inside a job. When thinking about space, concentrate on issues like depth and perspective, overlapping objects, and using empty space versus space filled with details. When you present a two-dimensional piece of art, like a painting, think about whether the piece produces the impression of three-dimensional space and depth. Describe the use of light in the work. Light in a work of art may be warm or cold, bright or dark, natural or artificial. Take some time to think about the role of light and shadow in the work. When you are thinking about a two-dimensional work, like a painting, the attention may be on how the artist creates the illusion of light. In a threedimensional work, like a sculpture, you might explore how real light interacts with the work. Is the surface reflective. Make note of the way shape is used in the work. Were the shapes linear, straight lines and perfect curves in the work, or are they more natural? Is the work dominated by some single form of shape, or do you see several different shapes? 4 B. Analysis (Analyzing the work) 1. Discuss how the work uses the principles of composition. When you've described the work, it's time to examine it or explain how it all comes together. Start by thinking about how the work is made up, keeping a few simple ideas in mind Balance: How do the colors, shapes and textures of the piece fit together? Should they produce a balanced or harmonious effect, or is the piece in some way unbalanced? Contrast: does the job use contrasting colors, textures, or lighting? Contrast can also be seen in the use of various shapes or contours, such as jagged vs. curved lines or geometric vs. natural shapes. https://bit.ly/3eheHul Movement: Why is the work generating a sense of movement Is your eye drawn in a specific way through the composition? Proportion: Do the proportions of the different elements appear as you might expect, or are they surprising? For example, if the research depicts a group of people, do all of the figures look bigger or smaller than they would have in real life? 2. Identify the subject of the job. Many of the works of art have one or more points designed to attract your attention and draw your gaze. For a portrait, this may be the subject's face or eyes. It may be a centrally located or well-lit object in a still-life. 3. Search for patterns at work. Identify a few main themes and explain how the artist used design elements (color, light, room, form, and line) to illustrate these themes. Themes could include things like: a. The use of a color scheme to give the work a particular mood or meaning. b. Symbolism and religious or mythological imagery. c. Repeating images or motifs within a work or group of works. B. Interpretation (Interpreting the work) • Try to identify the purpose of the work. In other words, what do you think the artist was trying to say with the work? Why did they create the work? Try to summarize the overall meaning of the work, as you see it. https://bit.ly/3eheHul 5 • Describe your own approach to work. Talk about how you feel when you're looking at work. What do you think is the overall mood of the job? Does that remind you of something (ideas, memories, certain works of art)? Use descriptive language to speak about your reaction to work. Was the mood at work sad? hopeful? peaceful? Perhaps you'd like to describe the work as stunning, or ugly? • Back up your interpretation/ definition with examples. Using examples from your job summary and review to illustrate why you think and feel the way you do it. Example, “I believe that James Sant’s portrait of a young bride is intended to give a sense of the bride’s spiritual devotion. This is indicated by the line of the composition, which draws the viewer’s eye upward, following the upward gaze of the subject. It is also suggested by warm light, coming from a source somewhere above the young woman.” C. Judgement (Judging the work) • decide whether you think the work is good. Your aim here is not simply to determine if the art is "good "or "bad." Rather, concentrate on whether you think the work is "productive." Think, for example, of the following: • Do you think the illustration expresses what the artist wanted to say? • Did the artist make effective use of their knowledge and techniques? • Is art original, or is it imitating other works? https://bit.ly/3eheHul 3. Explain how you judge the job. When you have agreed on a few elements of the work to be assessed, clearly demonstrate the focus of your evaluation. You may suggest, for example, that you judge the piece on how well structured it is, how well done it is technologically, and how well it expresses the intended mood or themes. 4.Summarize why you think the work has been successful or ineffective. Explain your decision on the job in a few sentences. Please offer clear reasons for your decision, using your understanding and analysis of the work. For example, “I believe this work is successful because the use of light, shape, gesture, and line all work together harmoniously to portray the mood of the subject.” As presented above, the different principles and steps in critiquing the artwork, Are you now ready to critique? What do you thing is the significance of an art critiques? Are they really helpful? Basically, an art critique allows the artist to understand how they influence their audience. It also allows the audience/viewer to gain a better understanding of that artists' work. Moreover, it is also a spur to deciding what you really think is the meaning, even though disagreement with the critic. 6 What’s More Activity 2: Summarization Fill in the table the different principles and steps in critiquing artwork.

Medium are also classified by musical, practical, environmental, pictorial, dramatic and narrative arts. The desired formal effect is achieved by manipulating materials to communicate the desired concept or meaning according to the artists’ personal style is called technique.
