ART APP: PART 3 Flashcards
refers to the materials that an artist uses to communicate his ideas, feelings and imagination.
Medium
Since this art form can be perceived by the eyes, its medium are those materials that can be seen and occupy space.
Visual Arts
The medium for this art classification are those that the viewers can hear and which are expressed in time. Belonging to these are music and literature.
Auditory or time arts
The medium for these art forms are those that the viewers can see and hear which considers both time and space
Combined arts
An artist’s knowledge of the medium and his skill in making it achieve what he wants it to, is the artist’s________
technique
It is a process that involves managing, overseeing and assembling or putting together a presentation or exhibit for some type of historical or artistic collection
Curation
Curation is derived from the Latin word ‘curare’ which means to_______
take care
The person responsible for curation is called a _______
curator
responsible for the acquisition of objects i.e. he is the one who decides on what objects to select to be part of the collection for exhibit. A
Curator
PROCESS OF ART PRODUCTION
- the medium
- the technique
- Curation
This is the fundamental skill needed in the visual arts
Drawing
This is made of graphite which comes in different hardness from soft to hard or thickness from thick to needle-like, making possible a wide range of values.
Pencils
is drawing a series of thin parallel lines that run in the same direction
Hatching
is drawing a series of thin parallel lines and criss-crossing it with another set of thin parallel lines. This creates a tone that is darker than hatching.
Cross-hatching
is using the sharp point of the pencil to make dot patterns to create depth in some parts of the drawing.
Stippling
is at times accomplished by using the finger or a paper stump to gradually change the tone from dark to light
Blending
SHADING TECHNIQUES
- Hatching
- Cross-hatching
- Stippling
- Blending
This is one of the oldest material for drawing that is still in use. It allows for a great variety of qualities, depending on the tools and technique used in application.
Ink
This is composed of dry pigment held together by a gum binder and compressed into sticks
Pastel
is using pastel of different colors to produce small marks, thus, creating a pattern
Stippling
is using the point of the pastel to make parallel strokes creating a feather-like effect
Feathering
is like layering but using pastel. The side of the pastel is lightly drawn on top of an existing color but still making the color of the first layer visible.
Scumbling
is the technique of thickly applying the pastel by pressing it hard on the paper creating an opaque effect
Impasto
is applying a thick deposit of pastel on the support then using a blunt pen, scrapes it off to reveal the underlying color and create the design. This technique works beautifully for oil pastel.
Sgraffito
PASTEL TECHNIQUES
- Stippling
- Feathering
- Scumbling
- Impasto
- Sgraffito
This is an organic medium that comes from burnt wood
Charcoal
This is the most common surface used in two-dimensional art. Is an organic material made from wood, grass and linen rags.
Paper
DIFFERENT MEDIA FOR DRAWING
- Pencils
- Ink
- Pastel
- Charcoal
- Paper
described as the art of creating beautiful effects on a flat surface.
Painting
It is the process of applying paint onto a smooth surface (ground/ support) like paper, cloth, canvas, wood or plaster.
Painting
is the part of the paint that gives the color.
Pigment
pigments are mixed with water and applied to paper.
Watercolor
This is paint in which the pigment has been mixed with water and added with a chalk-like material to give it an opaque effect.
Gouache
The pigments are mixed with oil as its binder
Oil Paints
is a dense painting medium and gives rich, beautiful colors. It is a flexible medium that is slow to dry which allows the painting to be changed and worked over before drying completely.
Oil paint
This is pigment mixed with egg yolk (sometimes with the white) as binder. Sometimes gum or glue is used in place of egg
Tempera
This is pigment mixed with water and applied on a portion of the wall with wet plaster. The wet plaster allows the color to stick to the surface and thus, becomes a permanent part of the wall
Fresco
refers to the massive paintings on walls or ceilings using various techniques.
Mural
This is a modern medium of synthetic paint using acrylic emulsion as binder. This medium is widely used by contemporary painters.
Acrylic
MEDIA USED FOR PAINTING
- Watercolor
- Gouache
- Oil paints
- Tempera
- Fresco
- Acrylic
are wall or floor decorations made of small tiles or irregularly cut pieces of colored stones or glass called TESSERAE. These are meticulously fitted together to form a pattern and glued with plaster or cement.
Mosaic
Collage is derived from a French world ‘coller’ which means
to stick
is a technique of making an art work by gluing or pasting on a firm support materials or found objects.
Collage
This is a process used for making reproductions of graphic works.
Printing
This is the oldest method of printmaking. The technique involves cutting away (using knives or gouges) certain parts of the surface, usually a block of wood and leaving the ‘raised’ parts to produce the image.
Relief Printing (Raised)
This technique is the opposite of relief printing; instead of using the surface of the plate for the image, the lines of the image are cut or incised to a metal plate. The incised or ‘depressed’ part is the image.
Intaglio Printing (Depressed)
This includes all processes in which printing is done from a flat surface (plane).
Surface Printing (Flat)
The word sculpture has originated from the Latin word ‘sculpere, ‘which means
to carve
It is defined as the art or practice of creating three-dimensional forms or figures. It is the art form that is described as having length, width and volume.
Sculpture
PRINTMAKING TECHNIQUE
- Relief Printing (Raised)
- Intaglio Printing (Depressed)
- Surface Printing (Flat)
These are sculptures which can be viewed from all sides
Freestanding (in the round)
These are sculptures in which the figures project from a background.
Relief
This is one if the variations of relief sculptures where the figures are slightly raised/projected from its background, less shadows are created.
Low relief (bas relief)
This is one of the variations of relief sculptures where almost half of the figures project from its background, more shadows are created.
High relief
A sculpture that is capable of movement by wind, water or other forms of energy.
Kinetic (mobiles)
THREE KINDS OF SCULPTURES
- Freestanding
- Relief
- Kinetic (mobiles)
One of the process of creating sculptures where it involves removing or cutting away pieces of the material to form the figure. The sculptor achieves this through the use of special tools like chisels, hammers, saws and grinders.
Subtractive process
One of the process of creating sculptures where it involves the construction of a figure by putting together bits of the material or by welding together metal parts to create figures. Modeling and assembling are examples of this process
Additive process
One of the process of creating sculptures where it is also known as CASTING. This method involves using a mold to produce a 3D figure in another material. The material should be in liquid form for it to a poured to the mold
Process of Substitution
THREE TYPES OF CASTING
- Sand-casting
- Plastic-casting
- Lost-wax casting
One of the medium of sculptures that is a natural medium. It is hard and relatively permanent. Sculptures made from this will last for many years.
Stone
is deemed by sculptors as the most beautiful stone for sculpture. It is mined and comes in a variety of color and grain. From Romblon, Philippines come some of the most beautiful shades of this.
Marble
One of the medium of sculptures where it varies in hardness and durability depending on the kind of tree it came from.
Wood
One of the medium of sculptures where it is used for sculpture because of its three unique qualities: tensile strength, ductility and malleability.
Metal
is also known as Inox steel. It is made from a combination of steel and chromium. This medium does not rust or stain when exposed to moisture and water.
Stainless steel
is an alloy of two elements: Spirit of Edsa by Eduardo Castrillo tin and copper. Its color is reddish-brown and will corrode if constantly exposed to water and moisture
Bronze
is an alloy of copper and zinc that gives it a yellowish golden color. It is more malleable than bronze and has a lower melting point.
Brass
is finely ground gypsum mixed with water and poured into a mold. This material dries quickly depending on the size of the mold. After it has dried, it can be painted with different colors.
Plaster or Plaster of Paris
