Principles of Art
• Emphasis – the composition refers to developing points of interest to
pull the viewer's eye to important parts of the body of the work.
• Balance – it is a sense of stability in the body of work. It can be
created by repeating same shapes and by creating a feeling of equal
weight.
• Harmony – achieved in a body of work by using similar elements
throughout the work, harmony gives an uncomplicated look to your
work.
• Variety – refers to the differences in the work, you can
achieve variety by using difference shapes, textures, colors
and values in your work.
• Movement – adds excitement to your work by showing action and
directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane.
• Rhythm – a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in
repeating of shapes and colors. Alternating lights and darks also give
a sense of rhythm.
• Proportion or scale – refers to the relationships of the size of objects
in a body of work. Proportions give a sense of size seen as a
relationship of objects. such as smallness or largeness.
• Unity – is seen in a painting or drawing when all the parts
equal a whole. Your work should not appear disjointed or
confusing.

Painting
definition
– The practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a
surface (support base). In art, the term describes both the act and the
result, which is called a painting.
– Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper,
canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay or concrete.
– Paintings may be decorated with gold leaf, and some modern
paintings incorporate other materials including sand, clay, and
scraps of paper.
– Tangible canvass that we see through the use of his hands.
– It is the most widely practiced and appreciated.
Example: canvass, paper, wood, plaster
History of Painting
It is originated in France and was introduced in the
Philippines by the Spaniards during 17th century.
The history of painting reaches back in time to
artifacts from pre-historic humans, and spans all cultures,
that represent a continuous, though disrupted, tradition from
Antiquity. Across cultures, and spanning continents and
millennia, the history of painting is an ongoing river of
creativity that continues into the 21st century. Until the early
20th century it relied primarily on representational, religious
and classical motifs, after which time more purely abstract
and conceptual approaches gained favor. Developments in
Eastern painting historically
parallel those in Western
painting, in general, a few centuries
earlier.
African art, Islamic art, Indian art, Chinese art, and Japanese
art each had significant influence on Western art, and, eventually, viceversa.
The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in
France, claimed by some historians to be about 32,000 years old. They
are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment and show
horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, mammoth or humans often hunting.
However the earliest evidence of painting has been discovered in two
rock-shelters in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. In the lowest
layer of material at these sites there are used pieces of ochre estimated
to be 60,000 years old. Archaeologists have also found a fragment of
rock painting preserved in a limestone rock-shelter in the Kimberley
region of North-Western Australia, that is dated 40 000 years old.
[1]There are examples of cave paintings all over the world—in France,
Spain, Portugal, China, Australia, India etc.
In Western cultures oil painting and watercolor painting
are the best known media, with rich and complex traditions in
style and subject matter. In the East, ink and color ink historically
predominated the choice of media with equally rich and complex
traditions.
Filipino Painters
Juan Luna’s famous works include the “The Death of
Cleopatra”, which won him a silver medal at the National Exposition
of Fine Arts (1881) and “The Spolarium”, his greatest masterpiece
that won him a gold medal at the National Exposition of Fine Arts
held in Madrid in 1884. The “Battle of Lepanto” won him another
gold medal at the Barcelona Exposition in 1888. Among his
last painting include “El Pacto de Sangre” which won first prize
in Paris and at the St. Louis Exposition, USA in 1904.
Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo's place in Philippine Art
was secured in the last quarter of the nineteenth century
through his large Neoclassical canvases which harvested
Gold and Silver Medals in prestigious International
Exhibitions. At a time when merely to have one's painting
accepted and hung in the highly competitive International
Exhibits was a mark of having arrived as a painter,
Hidalgo's entries stood out among thousands of paintings
(representing in these Exhibits the best Europe and America
had to offer) to win distinction: a Gold Medal for his major
work, La Barca de Aqueronte and Silver Medals for two
others (Jovenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho and
Adios del Sol). It is therefore through these two historical
paintings “in the grand manner" (a seascape with figure,
Adios del Sol is a departure from the traditional manner)
that Hidalgo's reputation as a painter is assured in both
Philippine Art history and the popular mind. He is the
painter of “Assassination of Gov. Gen. Fernando
Bustamante.”
Purposes of Painting
1. Painting commemorates historical
events.
2. For recognition of religious
activities.
Elements of Painting
• Line – it is a man’s own invention; extension of a
point.
• Vertical lines – power, stability, strength
• Horizontal lines – relaxation, calmness, at peace,
laziness
• Diagonal lines – movement
• Curve lines – graceful movements, fluidity, flexibility
• Shape – it is an area of flat surface enclosed by a line.
• Texture – it refers to the feel or tactile quality of a
surface of an object; the roughness or smoothness of
an object.
• Size – it is smallness or largeness of an object.
• Color – it a series of wave lengths which strike our
retina. Spectrum consists of different colors: red,
orange, blue, indigo and violet.
Paints
Paints are composed of three
materials:
 Pigment
 Binder
 Solvent
Paints
Pigment: natural or synthetic colored
materials finely ground into power clay,
gemstones, minerals, plants and insects.
www.webexhibitts.org/pigments/
Paints
Binder: holds the pigment together and
adheres the paint to a surface, egg yolks,
oil and wax.
www.webexhibitts.org/binder/
Paints
Solvent: can be added to thin or thicken
paint, slow or speed up its drying time
with oil or water.

Painting Styles
Fresco
•mixing pigments with plaster (walls,
ceilings)
•Buon “true” Fresco: paint is bound in the
wet plaster
•Fresco secco: paint is applied to dry
plaster.
http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/f/fresco.html
Tempera
•water based, egg binder, used prior to
1400’s, colors cannot be mixed, narrow
range, fast-drying
http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/t/tempera.html
Oil
• easily mixed, more permanent, used after
1400, slow-drying.
•painting with pigments that are bound with a
medium of drying oil. It had a glossy and
varnish-like effect.
• MURAL PAINTING – involved
blowing colored pigments through tubes
onto the canvas or walls.
PAINTING MEDIA
DRY MEDIA
• PENCIL – cheap, easily available, easy to
work with and can be erased. Graphite
pencils or lead pencils have probably
made more drawings than any other
medium.
PENCILS
METALPOINT
• A metal point drawing is made by dragging a
metal stylus over the surface of a prepared
paper, leaving a mark much like a graphite
pencil.
• Many metals such as copper, brass, silver,
gold and platinum can be used to create a
metal point drawing, each having unique
characteristics.
• Metal point drawings are labor intensive
and require great patience .
METALPOINT PENS
• CHARCOAL – Dark, soft and harsh
lines. They are burned sticks of wood . It is
used greatly for sketches and portraits.
CHALK AND CRAYON
• The main difference between them is the
BINDER ( the substance that holds the
pigment together). Chalk have nonfat binders
while crayons have greasy or oily, fat and wax
binders.
PASTEL
• is a painting medium in the form of a stick,
consisting of pure powdered pigment and a
binder.
• Pastel painting is fragile and easily smudged, its
preservation requires protective measures.
LIQUID MEDIA
• PEN AND INK – Uses pens and ink to
create uninterrupted lines. A major variable in
ink drawings is the thickness or thinness of lines.
• BRUSH AND INK – When ink is
diluted in water and applied with a brush,
the result is called a WASH.
ENCAUSTIC
• Also known as hot wax painting,
involves using heated beeswax to
which colored pigments are added.
• The liquid/paste is then applied to a
surface—usually prepared wood,
though canvas and other materials
are often used.
• Wax gives a clear luminous/shining
effect.
OIL
• Painting with pigments that are bound
with a medium of drying oil.
• Use of oil started with 15th century
Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck.
• The presence of oil makes the painting
shiny and varnished. It dries slowly.
GOUACHE
• Also known as water paint, splash or body color.
• Gouache is a water based paint consisting of pigment to
be used in an opaque/cloudy painting method.
• Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are
larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher .
• This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with
greater reflective qualities.
• WATERCOLOR - paints are made of
pigments suspended in a water soluble
vehicle. The traditional and most common
support for watercolor paintings is paper;
other supports include fabric/cloth, wood, and
canvas.
SYNTHETIC MEDIA
• WATER-BASED ACRYLICS –
most popular synthetic paint introduced in
1950s. Quick-drying and intense colors.
• THINNED DOWN ACRYLICS –
synthetic paints that are shot through
airbrushes and spray paint containers.
Different Techniques
– Ability which artist fulfill his work of art and
manipulates ideas.
1. Realism - introduced by a French man named
Gustave Courbet in 19th century. Adopted to describe
things represent figures and exactly how they look
like in real life.
Example: sunset, sunrise, and nature
sunset
sunrise
nature
2. Surealism - invented from the word super naturalism.
It is used to emphasize the unconscious creative
activity of the mind.
Example:
dream
deja’vu
3. Cubism - initiated by Cezanne, the father of cubism.
It shows
the flatness of the picture and rejects traditional
perspectives.
Example: Demoiselles d’ Avignon in 1907 by Pablo Picasso
4. Expressionism - tries to express subjective feelings and emotions of
the artists. It is how the artist feels about the subject.
Example: The Scream by Edvard Munch in 1892
5. Impressionism - the artist depicts what stimulates the eye. What
we see is important in an impressionist. When they create an art
they are more concerned with the effects of lights that would
get the attention of the audience.
Example: Soleil Levant (Impression, sunrise) by Claude
Monet in 1872
6. Symbolism - the visible sign of something invisible such as
ideas or quality. Something that you can create in the mind such
as
ideas that can be depicted through painting.
Example: La mort du fossoyeur ("The death of the
gravedigger") by
Carlos Schwabe
7. Pointillism
- a style of painting in which the artists use
small distinct dots of color forming a figure and it has
an item of “luminosity” and create the impression of a
wide selection of other colors and blending.
Example: La Parade de Cirqu by Seurat (1889)
8. Futurism - an art movement that originated in Italy in the
early 20th century. Machine and motions is the main
subject of this technique which try to show movement and
speed. Rejected the traditional perspectives and attempted
to glorify a new life.
Example: The City Rises by Umberto Boccioni (1910)
9. Minimalism - the form is reduced to outmost
simplicity geometrical shape which emphasizes space.
Example: The reconstruction of German Pavillion in
Barcelona, Spain
10. Fauvism - the painter try to paint picture by using
bright and extreme colors in order to assume
positive characters.
Example: The portrait of Madame Matisse (The
green line) by
Henry Matisse in 1905
11. Dadaism - a post-World War I cultural movement in
visual art as well as literature (mainly poetry),
theatre and graphic design. It shows a movement that
shock and provokes the viewers.
Example: Hitler in Hell by George Grosz
12.Constructivism - derived from the word
“construction.” Construction of abstract pictures such
as metal and wire.
Example: Model of the Monument to the Third
International by Tatlin Tower.

Historical Background of
Sculpture
Pre-Historic Sculpture
• The primitive people produced the so
called fertility statues. It has been
described as giving emphasis on the
female sexual attributes. It emphasizes the

sides by space, except the base.
• Statues identified as kore otherwise known as
female standing sculpture.
• Statues identified as kouros otherwise known a
male standing sculpture.
• Sculptures designed as ornaments for specific

Types of Sculpture
Some common forms of sculpture are:
1. Free-standing sculpture, sculpture that is surrounded
on all sides by space, except the base. It is also known as
sculpture "in the round", and is meant to be viewed from any
angle.
2. Sound sculpture - Sound sculpture (related to sound art and
sound installation) is an intermedia and time based art form in
which sculpture or any kind of art object produces sound, or the
reverse (in the sense that sound is manipulated in such a way as
to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass).
3. Light sculpture - is an intermedia and time based
art form in which sculpture or any kind of art object
produces light, or the reverse (in the sense that light is
manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as
opposed to temporal form or mass).
4. Jewelry – objects of personal adornment made
of precious metals, gems, or imitation
materials.
5. Relief - the sculpture is still attached to a
background; types are bas-relief, alto-relievo,
and sunken-relief.
6. Site-specific art - is artwork created to exist
in a certain place.
7. Kinetic sculpture - involves aspects of
physical motion.
8. Statue - representation list sculpture depicting a
specific entity, usually a person, event, animal or
object
a. Bust - representation of a person from the

10. Architectural sculpture - Architectural
sculpture is the term for the use of sculpture by
an architect and/or sculptor in the design of a
building, bridge, mausoleum or other such
project.
Function
• Sculpture functions as an integral part of many
ceremonies and events.
• Often unnoticed, it gives us a visual reference for our
emotional experiences throughout the passages of
life.
• Tombstones, for example, are a form of sculpture
commemorating death, a universal event.
Processes and Techniques
• Processes in sculpting vary, and always depend on the
materials used. There is cast sculpture, where a material, such
as bronze, begins as a clay form that is cast in a mould to
produce a given shape; there is also carved sculpture, such as
wood or stone.
• Two distinct methods have emerged; an additive process,
where material is added again and again to build up the form,
for example with clay, and the subtractive process, where the
artist removes or subtracts materials to create the form, as in
marble or stone carving.
• Sculpture may be free standing (sometimes referred to
as sculpture in the round even if it is a square shape),
often on a pedestal or base where you can walk around
it, or relief, where raised forms project from a
background or surface.
• There is low relief, where the figure emerges at a level
closer to the surface; and high relief, where the figure
may almost be completely detached from the surface or
ground.
• Types of representation and composition in
relief are defined by their need for the ground
plane on which the forms are superimposed or
from which they emerge.
• Relief can be carved in wood or stone; molded
in clay or wax; cast in metal, plaster or resin.

History
Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony,
rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the
earliest human civilizations. Archeology delivers traces of dance
from prehistoric times such as the 9,000 year old Rock Shelters of
Bhimbetka paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings
depicting dancing figures from circa 3300 BC.Dance does not
leave behind clearly identifiable physical artifacts such as stone
tools, hunting implements or cave paintings. It is not possible to
say when dance became part of human culture.
One of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been
in the performance and in the telling of myths. It was also
sometimes used to show feelings for one of the opposite gender.
It is also linked to the origin of "love making." Before
the production of written languages, dance was one of
the methods of passing these stories down from
generation to generation.

Photography
Etymology
The word "photography" comes from the Greek (phos) "light" +
(graphis) "stylus", "paintbrush" or (graphê) "representation by
means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with
light." Traditionally, the products of photography have been called
negatives and photographs, commonly shortened to photos.
Definition
- It is the art or process of producing images through the use of a light
sensitive chemical or film.
- A photography is an actual likeness, that production of
which may not actually involve artists creativity. One only
has to press a button on a camera to produce this actual likeness.
History
Photography is the result of combining several technical
discoveries. Chinese philosopher Mo Ti described a pinhole camera
in the 5th century B.C.E.
Photography as a usable process goes back to the 1820s with
the development of chemical photography. The first permanent
photograph was an image produced in 1825 by the French inventor
Nicéphore Niépce. However, because his photographs took so long
to expose, he sought to find a new process. Working in conjunction
with Louis Daguerre, they experimented with silver compounds
based on a Johann Heinrich Schultz discovery in 1724 that a silver
and chalk mixture darkens when exposed to light.
Niépce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the
work, eventually culminating with the development of
the daguerreotype in 1837. Daguerre took the first ever
photo of a person in 1839 when, while taking a
daguerreotype of a Paris street, a pedestrian stopped for a
shoe shine, long enough to be captured by the long
exposure
Eventually, France agreed to pay Daguerre a pension for his
formula, in exchange for his promise to announce his discovery to the
world as the gift of France, which he did in 1839.
Meanwhile, Hercules Florence had already created a very
similar process in 1832, naming it Photographie, and William Fox
Talbot had earlier discovered another means to fix a silver process
image but had kept it secret. After reading about Daguerre's invention,
Talbot refined his process so that portraits were made readily available
to the masses. By 1840, Talbot had invented the calotype process,
which creates negative images. John Herschel made many contributions
to the new methods. He invented the cyanotype process, now familiar
as the "blueprint". He was the first to use the terms "photography",
"negative" and "positive".
He discovered sodium thiosulphate solution to be a
solvent of silver halides in 1819, and informed Talbot and
Daguerre of his discovery in 1839 that it could be used to "fix"
pictures and make them permanent. He made the first glass
negative in late 1839.
In March 1851, Frederick Scott Archer published his findings
in "The Chemist" on the wet plate collodion process. This became
the most widely used process between 1852 and the late 1880s when
the dry plate was introduced. There are three subsets to the
Collodion process; the Ambrotype (positive image on glass), the
Ferrotype or Tintype (positive image on metal) and the negative
which was printed on Albumen or Salt paper.
Many advances in photographic glass plates and printing were
made in through the nineteenth century. In 1884, George Eastman
developed the technology of film to replace photographic plates,
leading to the technology used by film cameras today.
In 1908 Gabriel Lippmann won the Nobel Laureate in Physics
for his method of reproducing colors photographically based
on the phenomenon of interference, also known as the
Lippmann plate.
Modes of production
Amateurism
An amateur photographer is one who practices photography as a
hobby and not for profit. The quality of some amateur work is
comparable or superior to that of many professionals and may be
highly specialized or eclectic in its choice of subjects. Amateur
photography is often pre-eminent in photographic subjects which
have little prospect of commercial use or reward.
Commerce
Commercial photography is probably best defined
as any photography for which the photographer is paid
for images rather than works of art. In this light money
could be paid for the subject of the photograph or the
photograph itself. The commercial photographic
world could includes:
• Advertising photography: photographs made to illustrate and usually
sell a service or product. These images, such as pack shots, are
generally done with an advertising agency, design firm or with an
in-house corporate design team.
• Fashion and glamour photography: This type of photography usually
incorporates models. Fashion photography emphasizes the clothes or
product, glamour emphasizes the model. Glamour photography is
popular in advertising and in men's magazines. Models in glamour
photography may be nude, but this is not always the case.
• Crime Scene Photography: This type of photography
consists of photographing scenes of crime such as
robberies and murders. A black and white camera or an
infrared camera may be used to capture specific details.
• Still life photography: it depicts inanimate subject matter,
typically commonplace objects which may be either
natural or man-made.
• Food photography: it can be used for editorial, packaging or
advertising use. Food photography is similar to still life
photography, but requires some special skills.
• Editorial photography: photographs made to illustrate a story or idea
within the context of a magazine. These are usually assigned by the
magazine.
• Photojournalism: this can be considered a subset of editorial
photography. Photographs made in this context are accepted as a
documentation of a news story.
• Portrait and wedding photography: photographs made and sold
directly to the end user of the images.
• Landscape photography: photographs of different locations.
• Wildlife photography: it demonstrates life of the animals.
• Photo sharing: publishing or transfer of a user's digital
photos online.
Steps in Photography
Choosing the subject- requires the wise judgment and artistic sense
of the photographer.
Mechanical one- a light sensitized film contained in a darken box is
exposed to the light from the object being photographed.
Chemical one- after the film has been exposed, it is treated with a
series of chemical solutions to develop the film and produce a
permanent negative. A photographic paint is produced from the
negative.

Different Kinds of Film
1.
Action - a movie with a lot of exciting effects like car chases and
gun fights, involving stuntmen. They usually involve 'goodies'
and 'baddies', so war and crime are common subjects. Action
films usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is
normally simple
Example: Die hard, Saving Private Ryan, Quantum of Solace,
Rambo, Isang Bala ka lang, Batas ng lansangan, and Anak ni
Baby Ama.

story. These films used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time,
but are now made on computers.
Example: Babes, Cats and Dogs, Ice Age, Fantasia, Kung Fu
Panda, Bolt, Mulan, and Prinsesa Urduja

Fantasy - a movie of daydream or illusion
Example: Peter Pan, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings,
Darna, Captain Barbel, and Lastikman
8. Thrillers/Suspense - are usually about a mystery, strange event, or
crime that needs to be solved. The audience is kept guessing until
the final minutes, when there are usually 'twists' in the plot
(surprises).
Example: Da Vinci code, Angels and Demons, Sigaw, and Patayin
sa Sindak si Barbara
9. Romance - are usually love stories about 2 people from different
