Week 5- Day 9 and 10

What’s In
This part tackles performing arts and literature in the country starting from the 1970’s up to present,
which are commonly integrated as artworks. Literature refers to works showing ideas and emotions that
are creatively thought of and stated. On the other hand, performing arts include music, dance, theatre, and
cinema/film.

What’s New
Literature broadly refers to any collection of written or oral work, but it more commonly and narrowly refers
to writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry, in contrast
to academic writing and newspapers.[1] In recent centuries, the definition has expanded to now include
oral literature, much of which has been transcribed.

Music is an art form, and cultural activity, whose medium is sound. General definitions of music include
common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated
concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of
timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types
of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements.
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This
movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers
within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire
of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.

Theatre or theater[a] is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, typically actors or
actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place,
often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of
gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as
lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience.

Film, also called movie, motion picture or moving picture, is a visual art-form used to simulate experiences
that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving
images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and more rarely, other sensory stimulations.
[1] The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry,
and to the art form that is the result of it.

What Is It
Types and Elements of Literature
Meaning: A writer can use the following in order to express his or her feelings or idea: technical terms,
idiom, dialect, new words, allusion, and connotation. Figurative Language: This mainly consist of simile,
metaphor, and other figures of speech that can be used in order to express something in a different way
aside from its literal meaning.
Imagery: This consists of descriptions and details that can trigger the readers senses (sight, hearing,
smell, etc.).
Sound and Rhythm: These elements make use of the spoken nature of poetry. Sound refer to the
emphasis on certain words or rhymes. Rhythm is the just a position of beats or the sound pattern of the
work.
Plot: Plot is the serial arrangement of incidents, ideas or events. In literature, the plot encompasses all the
incidents and provides aesthetic pleasure.

Elements of Music
Pitch: register (high or low); Organization of pitches with a pattern of intervals between them creates
scales; Words we might use to describe scales: major/minor, chromatic, gapped, pentatonic.
Rhythm: the time element of music. A specific rhythm is a specific pattern in time; we usually hear these in
relation to a steady pulse, and mentally organize this pulse or tempo into meter (sometimes called a
"time signature").
Melody, or musical line: is a combination of pitch and rhythm (some say "duration"). Sometimes a melody
is considered to be the theme of a composition. We might characterize melody by its contour (rising or
falling) and the size of the intervals in it.
Timbre: sound quality or tone color; timbre is the characteristic that allows us to distinguish between one
instrument and another, and the difference between vowel sounds (for example, long "a" or "ee"). Terms
we might use to describe timbre: bright, dark, brassy, reedy, harsh, noisy, thin, buzzy, pure, raspy, shrill,
mellow, strained.
Dynamics: loud or soft. A composition that has extremely soft passages as well as extremely loud
passages is said to have a large or wide dynamic range. Dynamics can change suddenly or gradually
(crescendo, getting louder, or decrescendo, getting softer.)

Elements of Dance
Body: dance is comprised of various body motions that express feeling and emotion. Our bodies move in
ways to express ourselves using locomotor and non-locomotor movements.
Energy: energy is the force at which we express our body motions
Space/Level: to show variation and movement, we need to use our surroundings well. We zig, zag, move
high and low. We use the entire space around us and below us.
Relationship: in dance, we often dance with one other person or with many people in a group. Just like
with conversation, we communicate and react using our bodies.
Time: timing is key to any dance. We follow the rhythm or beat to match our actions with the sound of the
music. When working with others, we sometimes mimic another using time.

Elements of Theater
Performers: People onstage presenting characters in dramatic action.The audience is coming to see a
performer pretend to be someone else. When the actor/actress is on stage, they must be believable as the
character they are portraying.
Audience: The essence of theater is the interaction between the performer and audience.
Theater needs to be experienced live. There is a "call and response" atmosphere that
cannot be witnessed in a movie theater.
Director: The director makes certain that the performers understand the text and deliver the script
excitingly and appropriately. The director also makes sure the blocking, costume designs, set designs and
other aspects of the show blend together to make a production that works together.
Theater Space: Another necessary element of theater is the space in which performers or audiences
come together. It is essential to have a stage, or some equivalent area, where actors and actresses can
perform.
Text: A final element essential to theater is the text that is performed, and it must be present for theater to
occur. Another name for the text is script. One key element for writing is conflict.

Elements of Film
Character: If there is one element of good stories that is common through all ages and narrative forms,
and if there is one unbroken rule of successful storytelling, it is this - creating compelling characters whose
story the world would want to listen.
Scene: A scene is the building block of a screenplay, its most basic unit that has its own independent,
whole existence. Technically speaking, everything happening at one place at one time in the film is a
scene. The moment you change the location or jump time, you have entered a new scene.
Conflict: is the bread and butter of drama. The more you can involve the audience into the conflicted
situations of your characters, the more problems you can create for your protagonists and make them
overcome those one by one, the more successful your storytelling will be.
Resolution: A climactic resolution to the already thickening plot, a final confrontation of the protagonist
with the antagonistic forces, a final Plot Point, that is emotionally, dramatically, and visually the high point
of the film is very important to complete your movie experience. And this closure, this resolution of the
primary conflict of the film, or the lack of it (as is the case with tragedies), often brings forth the 'point of the
movie'.

What I Have Learned:

1. The definition of contemporary art forms based on the elements and principle.
2. The important of contemporary performing arts and literature in the Philippines
3. The Different Contemporary arts form based on the elements.* Literature, Music, Dance Theatre and
Film/cinema.

Week 6- Day 11 and 12
What’s In
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the official cultural agency of the government of the
Philippines, has categorized Filipino arts into traditional and non-traditional. Each category are split into
various arts, which in turn have sub-categories of their own.

The traditional arts in the Philippines encompass folk architecture, maritime transport, weaving,
carving, folk performing arts, folk (oral) literature, folk graphic and plastic arts, ornament, textile, or fiber art,
pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.[1] There are numerous Filipino specialists or
experts on the various fields of traditional arts, with those garnering the highest distinctions declared as
Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA), equal to National Artist.

The non-traditional arts in the Philippines encompass dance, music, theater, visual arts, literature,
film and broadcast arts, architecture and allied arts, and design.[2] There are numerous Filipino specialists
or experts on the various fields of non-traditional arts, with those garnering the highest distinctions
declared as National Artist, equal to Gawad Manlilika ng Bayan (GAMABA).

What’s New
The traditional arts in the Philippines

Folk architecture, in the Philippines differ significantly per ethnic group, where the structures can be
made of bamboo, wood, rock, coral, rattan, grass, and other materials.

Filipino martial arts, vary from ethnic group to ethnic group due to the diversity of cultures within the
archipelago. The most famous is Arnis (also called kali and eskrima), the national sport and martial art of
the Philippines, which emphasize weapon-based fighting styles with sticks, knives, bladed weapons and
various improvised weapons as well as open hand techniques. Maritime transport, in the Philippines
includes boat houses, boat-making, and maritime traditions. These structures, traditionally made of wood
chosen by elders and crafts folks, were used as the main vehicles of the people, connecting one island to
another, where the seas and rivers became the people's roads. Although boats are believed to have been
used in the archipelago for thousands of years since the arrival of humans through water, the earliest
evidence of boat-making and the usage of boats in the country continues to be dated as 320 AD through
the carbon-dating of the Butuan boats that are identified as remains of a gigantic balangay.

Weaving, is an ancient art form that continue in the Philippines today, with each ethnic group having
their distinct weaving techniques.[36] The weaving arts are composed of basket weaving, back-strap loom
weaving, headgear weaving, fishnet weaving, and other forms of weaving.
 Carving, the art of carving in the Philippines focuses on woodcarving and folk non-clay sculptures.
Stone carving is a priced art form in the Philippines, even prior to the arrival of Western colonizers, as seen
in the stone likha and larauan or tao-tao crafts of the natives

Folk dances, plays, and dramas constitute most of the folk performing arts in the Philippines. Like
other Southeast Asian countries, each ethnic group in the Philippines possess their own heritage on folk
performing arts, however, Filipino folk performing arts also includes Spanish and American influences due
to the country's historical narratives.

Glass art, refers to individual works of art that are substantially or wholly made of glass. It ranges in
size from monumental works and installation pieces to wall hangings and windows, to works of art made in
studios and factories, including glass jewelry and tableware.

Ornament, textile, or fiber art, includes a variety of fields, ranging from hat-making, mask-making,
accessory-making, to ornamental metal crafts, and many others.

Non-ornamental metal crafts are metal products that stand on their own. These crafts are usually already
beautiful as they are, and seldom need ornamental metal crafts to further their indigenous aesthetics.
The Non-traditional arts in the Philippines

The visual arts under the non-traditional arts include painting, non-folk sculpture, printmaking,
photography, installation art, mixed media works, illustration, graphic arts, performance art, and imaging.

Non-folk sculpture in the Philippines is a major art form, with many artists and students focusing on
the subject. Various materials can be used in sculptures, ranging from metals, wax, glass, wood, plastic,
bamboo, and many more.

The art of sculpture in the country originated from the indigenous cultures of the natives, which
includes art works made of wood, metal, stone, corals, grass, rattan, bamboo, and other mediums.

Literature, fiction, essay, and literary/art criticism are the focal arts of literature under the non-
traditional arts, which are usually based on the traditional art of folk (oral) literature of the natives, which
focuses greatly on works of art from epics, ethnic mythologies, and related stories and traditions.

Traditional art of folk (oral) literature of the natives, which focuses greatly on works of art from epics,
ethnic mythologies, and related stories and traditions.

Film and broadcast arts focuses on the arts of direction, writing, production design, cinematography,
editing, animation, performance, and new media.

Architecture under the category of non-traditional arts focus on non-folk architecture and its allied arts
such as interior design, landscape architecture, and urban design.

The allied arts of architecture include interior design, landscape architecture, and urban design. Interior
design in the Philippines has been influenced by indigenous Filipino interiors and cultures, Hispanic styles,
American styles, Japanese styles, modern design, avant-garde, tropical design, neo-vernacular,
international style, and sustainable design.

The art of design, is present in all forms of art, whether traditional or non-traditional, however, the
design arts under the non-traditional arts usually emphasize industrial design and fashion design.

Industrial design, or the art where design precedes manufacture for products intended for mass
production, has been a key factor in improving the Philippine economy. Many artistic creations in the
country are made through research and development, which interplay with aesthetics that allures
customers.

The fashion arts are one of the oldest artistic crafts in the country, with each ethnic group having their
own sense of fashion. Indigenous fashion inputs various materials created through the traditional arts, such
as weaving and ornamental arts. Unlike industrial design, which is intended for objects and structures,
fashion design is intended as a whole bodily package.

What Is It
Philippine simple Architecture
Bahay kubo is the term for huts built out of nipa. These types of edifices were characteristic of the way
that indigenous people of the Philippines built homes prior to the arrival of the Spanish colonizers.

Bahay na bato was constructed out of brick and stone rather than the traditional bamboo, timbre and
other wooden materials that elevates the house. It is a mixture of native Filipino, Spanish and Chinese
influences.
The Ifugao house is sturdily crafted of timber from amugawan trees raised on four posts, which was
buried 50 centimeters below the ground and locked in with stones. The four wooden posts that rest upon
the pavement and support two wooden girders, which also supports three wooden transverse joists.

Banca boats, also locally known as Bangka, pump boats, baroto, etc., are the primary water
transportations of locals in the Philippines. Banca boats are commonly used for fishing, transporting goods,
and island hopping tours.

The vinta is a traditional outrigger boat from the Philippine island of Mindanao. The boats are made by
Sama-Bajau, Tausug and Yakan peoples living in the Sulu Archipelago,[2] Zamboanga peninsula, and
southern Mindanao. Vinta are characterized by their colorful rectangular lug sails (bukay) and bifurcated
prows and sterns, which resemble the gaping mouth of a crocodile.

Pina weaving Known as the Queen of Philippine Fabrics, Pina Cloth is one of the legacies left to us by
the Spaniards during their occupation of our country. This was the prime material used in making barong
tagalogs and saya in the days of our ancestors.

The Manunggul Jar is widely acknowledged to be one of the finest Philippine pre-colonial artworks
ever produced and is considered a masterpiece of Philippine ceramics. It is listed as a national treasure
and designated as item 64-MO-74[3] by the National Museum of the Philippines.
What I Have Learned:
1. Is to identify the Traditional art and the Non-Traditional arts in the Philippines
2. The different Traditional and Non-traditional arts in the Philippines.

3. The different sample Architecture, Maritime transport, weaving, basketry, carving, performing art,
literature, ornaments, textile art, and pottery in the Philippines

What’s In

Philippine folk literature refers to the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. Drawing of Malakas
and Maganda, the first man and woman of the Philippine Folklore, awakened and emerging from a split
giant bamboo tree.
Graphic and Plastic arts are artistic activities or producing works or effects that are three-dimensional, as
sculpture or ceramics. Graphic arts are mainly 2D, like sketching, painting, photography and calligraphy.
Also drawn plans and layouts for interior and architectural designs.
Ornament is used for decoration to embellish parts of a building or object. Bulul is carved Anito figures of
the Ifugaos and Parol making in Pampanga.
Textile or Fiber Art. Filipinos who are awarded under this category are those who promoted traditional
textile art, weaving and fiber art in their place of locality.
Pottery. Traditional pot making in certain areas of the Philippines would use clay found near the Sibalom
River. Molding the clay required the used of wooden paddles, and the clay had to be kept away from
sunlight. Native Filipinos created pottery since 3500 years ago. They used these ceramic jars to hold the
deceased which serves as a secondary burial jar. Other pottery used to hold remains of the deceased
were decorated with Anthropomorphic designs. This Anthropomorphic earthenware pots date back to5
B.C-225 A.D and had pot covers shaped like human heads.
By the New Stone Age, then period in which the Manunggul Jar was dated pots with particularly creative
and attractive designs were commonly made. By the Metal Age, special designs of pottery began to be
produced on large numbers.

What’s New
Support and Other Materials

In the artists choice of materials to convey the message that they want to impart to their audience is they
open the mystery to wide array of media. Their choice will eventually establish an association between the
mand their chosen medium.
Through centuries, artists have discovered and developed materials from many sources and have
marveled at the beauty of its effects on a flat surface. There was even a time when artist resort into making
their own medium which now is used to authenticate his work and seal his legacy as a two-dimensional
artist.
Artists’ style expresses in two-dimensional art varies in the surface that they use; the paints that they
choose and the technique they employ to manipulate the materials.

An artwork is described as two-dimensional if it has length and width. 2D artworks are usually composed of
two parts: the support of the surface (paper, canvas, wood) and the drawing medium (pencil, chalk,
charcoal) or the paints (oil, acrylic, watercolor).

Paper is the most popular surface used for 2D artwork. Paper is an organic medium made from cellulose
pulp derived mainly from wood, certain grasses and linen rags. It is processed into flexible sheets or rolls.
Canvas is made of a closely woven heavy cloth of cotton, linen onto which painting is done usually in oils.
Gesso is a generic term that is used for the initial coat applied to a support before it is painted on. The
gesso allows the paint to stick to the support for it affects the absorbency of the support. When the gesso
dries, it creates a matt, gritty surface that provides adhesion for the paint.
Wood is known as hardboard which is board or panel. The advantage of wood is it offers a more rigid
surface that results in less cracking in the paint. Softwoods are not suitable for painting because they
contain excess resin that cause the paint to crack.
Wall. This support traditionally may be made of stone. The walls for painting murals are made of concrete.
Before starting the mural project the wall should be carefully inspected for cracks, molds, dirt, wax, oil or
grease.
Charcoal is an organic drawing material from burnt wood. Charcoal was said to be one of the easiest

media to learn mistakes made in charcoal can be fixed and reworked.

Graphite such as pencil, this is easy to use and not as messy as charcoal, 2B, 4B, 6B and ebony pencils
result in a range of different tones. The higher the B number, the softer the lead and the softer the lead, the
darker the line or tone.

Brush, the main function is to transfer paint mixtures to the surface. A common brush is made up of a tuft
of hair (usually animal hair) fastened to a handle with a ferrule. The function of the brush is the same for all
art activity. Each one would only differ in the material used, the style of the brush and its size.
What Is It
Different Kinds of Paper Support

Laid Paper. Paper processed with a pattern of parallel lines created by the wires of the mold used for
production.
Textured Pastel, Charcoal and Craft Paper. This type has fine irregular texture pressed into the surface
during the process of its manufacture. This paper is good for pastel and charcoal and can be used for
layering but not for heavy layering.
Wove Paper. This is paper made on a woven wire ‘cloth’ like a fine sieve. The surface created is fine and
smooth with no evidence of texture.
Rough Grained Paper. This type has a ‘bumpy’ surface. This is a favorite of watercolor artists. The tiny pits
in the paper allows paint to pool in heavy wash while in dry wash, it leaves tiny dots of white that
contributes to that characteristic effect of the whole work.
Modified Paper. This paper has the grain which can look subtle when shading with a sharpened pencil.
Smooth-Hot Press. This type of paper has been hot rolled or ’pressed’ during production to create a very
smooth flat surface. This type allowing the drawing of very fine detail without bumps or texture showing up.
The types of paper may fall under hot-pressed (HP) which are smooth; cold-pressed which has moderate
texture and rough ( R ) which has the most pronounced tooth.

Kinds of Wood

Masonite is a trademarked brand name of a particular type of board made from wood fibers and glue
(resin) that is molded into a flat board.
Plywood is made from wood veneers which are thin layers or slices of wood glued together. It is industrially
produced and can be made from local hardwoods or soft woods.
Laminated Board has mica film on its surface to give it resistance and strength.

Forms of Charcoal

Vine Charcoal comes in thin sticks and is easy to blend and erase. A variety of effects can be created with
vine charcoal. A piece of vine charcoal used on its side can create different broad strokes depending on its
size and the amount of pressure that is use in putting the charcoal to the surface.
Compressed Charcoal is made up of lose charcoal pressed into a stick. It creates a much darker black
than vine charcoal and can be used on its own or blended with vine charcoal. It comes in square sticks or
in pencil form and are softer than the round ones.

Classification of Brushes by Hair Type

Bristle Brush is use for thickly prepared paints and are capable of spreading paints in impasto
consistencies. Its characteristic stiffness, on the other hand, can damage transparent watercolor because
the scrubbing action tend to loosen the pigment.

Sable Brush is known for its resiliency and cause less damage than a bristle brush. Sable brushes can
also hold a good amount of pigment and water. These brushes are more for watercolor projects. The best
sables are from a certain species of Siberian Mink. Environmental consciousness, however, substituted
squirrel hair or camel hair for the endangered mink.

Brush Classification by Shape

Dome Shaped Brush also known as the wash brush or sky brush. It covers more areas and primarily used
for painting skies.

Pointed Brush these are particularly used for making linear markings.

Flat Brush this is usually ideal for making broad strokes.

Oriental Brush these brushes differ from the brushes used in the West both in the materials used and in
appearance. The tuft is usually of deer hair, fox hair, hog bristle, goat hair, horse hair and wool.
 Brush Size The sizes of the brushes are coded in numeric designations from 000 to 8 in the French Scale
and from0to12 in the Standard English Scale. Artist should learn how to compare brushes by checking on
their weights and how it feels like in the hand. For better quality and long-lasting products personal
judgement may give the artist the best satisfaction in the end.

What’s In

Drawing

This is the process of moving an instrument over a smooth surface to leave a mark called a line. Drawing is
usually the first step in producing 2D artworks. Drawings can be created using dry media like graphite
pencils, charcoal, crayons, pastels and chalk or wet media like pen and ink and brushes with watercolor. All
drawing media have their own characteristics: rough lines are produced by crayons and chalk while pens
and graphite pencils produced smooth lines.

Painting

Painting is an art form that began many, many years ago. The earliest paintings recorded were found on the
walls and ceilings of caves. These prehistoric paintings made used of crushed rocks and mixed with animal
fat or blood for paint. When art is mentioned, it is always associated with painting.

Painting is the application of color to a surface through the use of tools such as brushes a painting knife, a
roller or even the fingers. The surface or the support is the material to which the paint is applied.

What’s New
Sketching

These are drawings done at the “spur of the moment.” The artist puts down on paper thought and ideas that
occur instantly. It is usually a rough, freehand, loose drawing that is not considered as finished work. The
artist here had visualized something which he feels he had to immediately put-on paper.

Shading is the use of light and shadow (degrees of values) giving the work characteristics of having depth
and texture.
Basic components of Paint

Pigments is the colored part of the paint. It may be sourced from organic (plants) or inorganic materials
(rocks and metallic oxides). Pigments can also be natural (from vegetables, insects, minerals or clay) or
synthetic (made from chemicals like distilling coal tars and residues of petroleum).

Binder is the material that holds together the grains of pigment and allows it to stick to the painting surface.
Binders are egg yolks mixed with water, linseed oil and wax.

Solvent is the liquid that controls the thickness or thinness of the paint. Solvents are also used to clean paint
brushes and other tools the artist may use during the painting project.

Gouache is a water-soluble paint which is a mixture of transparent watercolor with water soluble white
pigment. The white gives the paint an opaque body and covering power. Gouache is also known as the
French Method. Good grades of gouache are a mixture of watercolor and zinc white mixes.

Tempera is neither transparent nor opaque. Its effects depend upon the layers of semi-opaque colors. Each
layer of paint serves as a tinted undercoat for the next layers.

The major limitations of tempera paintings lies in the difficulty of making changes in the work and the
impossibility of blending colors on the support. Tempera may be applied to any surface. Priming coats are
not required since the first under layer will absorb sufficiently to serve as the ground.

What Is It
Kinds of Drawing

Life Drawing

A drawing that is based directly on the observation of the artist of hi subject. Good examples are still life
drawings and figure drawings.

Emotive Drawing

A type of drawing that emphasizes the expression of different emotions, feelings and mood.

Perspective Drawing

A drawing in which the artist creates 3D images on a 2D picture plane. The artist uses his ability to depict
the illusion of space on a flat surface.

Shading Techniques

Hatching. This is accomplished by drawing thin lines that runs in the same direction.

Cross-Hatching. This is accomplished by crisscrossing lines.

Blending. This is accomplished by changing the value little by little. From dark to medium to light and vice
versa.

Stippling. This is accomplished by using dot patterns to create dark values.

Different Kinds of Paints

Oil-based Paints was first used in the 1400s. oil paints were developed in Northern Europe where painting
was initially created using tempera (pigments mixed with egg yolk and water). To make the painting
transparent, artist added linseed oil. This oil serve as the binder and the solvent is turpentine.

Water Soluble Paints

Watercolor is the most popular of all water-based paint media. It should be remembered that water color
paint layers are vulnerable to any contacts with water. When over layers are applied, care should be taken
onto disturb the underpainting. The under layer should be completely dry before another layer is
superimposed. Watercolor area in the painting should have more than three overlays.
The brushes used in watercolor painting should beheld firmly, but not tightly, with thumb and fingers.
Variations in the execution of the strokes allows the brush to show more of itself. Strokes can be downward,
upward, left to right, right to left, diagonally and even erratically.

Acrylic Paints

This medium is a fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints
are water-soluble and becomes water resistant when dry. A finished acrylic painting can resemble oil or
water color or it can have its own characteristic.

Acrylic gesso can be applied as primer to the canvas. Acrylic can be applied to raw canvas without any
negative effect or chemical reaction. Acrylic paints can be modified by simply adding water. Its hardness,
flexibility, texture and appearance can be altered by the amount of water added. Acrylics have the ability to
bond to different surfaces. It can be used on paper, canvas, glass, wall and other supports.

Basic Techniques for Painting with Oils

Materials:

Oil paints – basic collection of colors should include cadmium yellow, yellow ochre, cadmium red, alizarin
crimson blue, titanium white and mars black.

Solvent (Turpenoid Regular or Gamsol)

Brushes – different sizes of round, flat and bristle brushes. Rags and jars for cleaning the brushes.

Two approaches to transparent watercolor painting

Wet-on-Dry

This technique involves the limited use of water. The support is dry and the watercolor is applied usually
through the use of the brush. When the painting process has begun, enough time is given for the fresh layer
of paint to dry.

Wet-on-Wet

This technique involves keeping the support and the pigment mixture in wet conditions. The work produced
is soft and diffused. The plasticity of watercolor is seen in these conditions.

Kinds of Acrylics

Professional Acrylics

This type of acrylic paint resist chemical reaction from exposure to water, ultraviolet light and oxygen. It has
a higher carbon content which allows for more manipulation and minor changes in color.

Student Acrylics

This has lower pigment concentration and smaller range of colors. The color brightness is also not intense.

Scholastic Acrylics

The pigment content is less expensive and includes dyes in the formulation. The range of colors is also
limited to primary and secondary colors.
The fast evaporation of water from acrylic paints can be slowed by adding acrylic retarders. These are glycol
or glycerin-based additives. When its binder (acrylic polymer emulsion) dries up, the paint remains flexible.
The versatility of acrylic allows it to be used with other media like pastel, charcoal and pen on top of the
dried acrylic painted surface.

The technique is simply to apply some acrylic to the surface like a glue. Acrylics are water-based, it can be
thinned and cleaned with water. Acrylic is non-toxic and odorless. Addition of retarders to acrylic can
increase the intensity of its colors and increase its color blending capacity. In finishing acrylic, gloss, matte
or silk varnish may be applied.

What I Have Learned:

1. Is to identify the Techniques applied in contemporary arts

2. The different kinds of drawing and painting

3. The examples of different paintings in the Philippines

What’s In

Pastel Painting

Pastel is derived from the word “pastelo” which is the Italian word for gum. When pastel is applied to a
slightly textured surface, the pigment is rubbed away from the stick and transferred to the surface. Pastel
can be used on any surface that has sufficient tooth or texture to hold the pigment dust. Pastel can be
blended or over layed on the support.

The major advantage is its portability. The artist only needs the pastes, a support (a paper attached to a
board) and the artist’s fingers for blending the colors on the support. The technique of manipulating pastel
can be done using the fingers ore a paper stump (torchon) which is rolled paper with appoint.

Collage

A technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various material not normally
associated with one another. Collage is derived from the French word “coller” which means “to stick”.
Collage became an art form during the synthetic cubist period of Picasso and Braque

A collage allows the artist to experiment with a wide range of materials to achieve amazing, sentimental,
satisfying results.

Printmaking is a process that involves the repeated transferring of an original image from a prepare
surface called a matrix onto another surface usually paper. The impression created by the matrix on the
surface is called a print.

Mixed Media

This refers to works of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct art media. This allows the artist
great versatility and a rich viewer experience as the eye uncovers multiple layers that often-characterized
mixed media art.

Photography is considered as both a science and an art. Photography is “writing with light”. Photography is
more than just capturing optical images on light sensitive surfaces but rather is an understanding of how
the technology operates to manipulate factors that would maximize human expression.

What’s New
Three kinds of pastels

Soft Pastel

These are traditionally round and wrapped in a paper sleeve whose function is to hold the pastel together
and also to prevent it from breaking unnecessarily. In this medium, there is a higher proportion of pigment
to binder.

Hard Pastels

These are sometimes referred to as chalks. They have no paper sleeve and are usually square. Pastel
pencils resemble colored pencils but the pigment core is similar to hard pastels. These are more of a
drawing tool and are useful for adding detail images created by hard or soft pastel. In this medium all
different types and brands can be intermixed.

Oil Pastels

The pigment is bound in oil. It can be brushed around on the support when moistened with turpentine or
white spirit. This medium produces compositions that are bold and colorful. Oil pastels can be dissolved by
spirits and can be used like a wash. The range of hues are limited but colors can be over layed on the
support.

Materials used in Printmaking

Solvents

This may include water, vegetable oil and biodegradable degreasers or cleaners.
Inks and additives

This kind of ink can be used directly on to the rag paper without the need for priming the surface. These
types is usually an acrylic product.

Paper

The type of paper use for the printmaking process needs to be strong, will lasts longer, have low acidity
and should contain some linen or cotton fibers.

Basic Features of camera

Aperture. The amount of light that enters a camera is determined by the size of the opening or aperture in
the shutter. The opening can be adjusted manually or automatically. The size is called the F-stop. The
smaller the F-stop, the larger the opening.

The Lens. This focuses the light onto the photosensitive surface such as a film. The lens can be focused
manually or automatically. Telephoto lenses magnify faraway objects. While wide-angle lenses allow a
broad view of the objects within a confined area.

The film. This records the image that is taken by the camera. Images may also be recorded in an electronic
memory device such as a disk or memory disk. Films can be black and white or in color. The type of film
used differs in their color sensitivity, contrast, graininess and speed. Color films differ in their
appropriateness for natural or artificial lighting conditions (Lois-Fichner-Rathus, 2013).

Digital Camera

A digital system is used by computers that process words and images directly as numbers or digits.
Software programs like paint and draw programs allows the artist to draw, paint and manipulate digital
images.

Paint Program

The images are stored as bitmaps, which are series of tiny dots or pixels. The ability to edit pixel by pixel is
an advantage of this program.

Draw Program

The images are stored as a series of lines and curved. This results from a mathematical formula and is
known as an object. The advantage of the draw program over the paint program is the ability to change the
size of the object without distorting the image.

Other computer art tools include a stylus and graphics tablet which are the electronic counterparts of the
paper and pencil; scanner which reads a printed image and puts it on screen or to be printed; screen tools
like pencils, pens assorted brushes and erasers (this varies from program to program).

Multi-media art is an accomplished through the development of multi-media programs that help users
design the work by combining text, graphics, video and sound into one document. Multi-media art expands
the boundaries of art by stimulating more sensory system (Ragans, 2000).

What Is It
Techniques of Manipulating Pastel

Stippling is the application of pastel in a broken pattern of small marks to produce an attractive play of
colors.

Impasto is pressed hard on to the support so as to leave a thick opaque deposit of pigment.
Sgraffito is effective for oil pastel. This involves scraping off color to reveal the tone of the support using a
blunt pen knife.

Scumbling involves building up the pastel in layers. The side or the blunt tip of a soft pastel is lightly drawn
across the surface of the paper to create the effect of a delicate veil of color through which the underlying
color is visible.

Feathering is a laying delicate parallel strokes of color with the point of the pastel, usually over an existing
layer of pastel color.

Dry Wash is the method of laying a broad area of color on a uniform, unbroken tone. The powdered pastel
is then placed on the support. The pastel is then blended on the support using the fingers or any blending
tool.

Charcoal is often used as a starting point for a pastel painting and is valuable both for creating the
structure of a composition and establishing tonal balance.

Printing Techniques

Relief Printing. The matrix is carved with knives or gouges. This action defines area not to be printed be
cut/carved away. This technique includes woodcut and wood engraving.

Intaglio. These are created using metal plates into which lines have been incised. The process is the
opposite of relief printing. Intaglio prints result in images created by the depressions on the plate.
Lithography. This is also known as planographic printing. It involves drawing the image on limestone,

zinc, aluminum with a greasy crayon or pencil. This is based on the principle that “oil and water, do not
mix”.

Etching. In this technique minimal pressure is needed to make the depth of the line on the matrix. This
involves a chemical process which determines the depth of the line.

Serigraphy. This is also known as silkscreen printing. Stencils are used to create the design of the image.
The images are produced using paints or ink.

What I Have Learned:

1. discuss the other two-dimensional media

2. identify the local material used in creating art

3. appreciate the importance of local materials used in creating art.
