Visual Arts
The visual arts are those that we perceive with our eyes. The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture,printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture.
Two Groups of Visual Arts; 1. The Graphic Arts 2. The Plastic Arts
1. The Graphic Arts Graphic art covers a broad range of art forms. Graphic art is typically twodimensional and includes calligraphy, photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, lithography, typography, serigraphy (silk-screen printing), and bindery. Graphic art also consists of drawn plans and layouts for interior and architectural design. Examples:
Painting
is the process of applying pigment to a surface to secure effects involving forms and color. - Examples:
Drawing
is the art of representing something by lines made on a surface or the process of portraying an object, scene, or forms of decorative or symbolic meaning through lines, shading, and textu8re in one or more colors. Media used include pencil, pen and ink, crayon, brush, and charcoal. Examples:
Graphic Processes These are processes for making multi-reproduction of graphic works. All processes involve the preparation of a master of image of the drawing or design on some durable material such as wood, metal, or stone, from which printing is done. Processes may be classified by the nature of the surface from which the printing is done: raised (relief); depressed (intaglio); or flat (surface, or plane). Example:
1. Relief Printing is the process whereby unwanted portions of design are cut away on the master image. The printed image is formed by the remaining surfaces. And also is an image created by a printmaking process where the areas of the plate that are to show printed black are on the original surface. Examples are linoleum cuts, woodcuts, and wood engravings. Examples:
Woodcut
Wood engraving
2. Intaglio Printing is a method of printing from a plate on which incised lines. which carry the ink, leave a raised impression. Examples:
a. Dry Point is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used. Like etching, dry point is easier for an artist trained in drawing to master than engraving, as the technique of using the needle is closer to using a pencil than the engraver's burin. Examples:
b. Etching is the art or process of producing drawings or design on metal plates covered with wax.
c.
Engraving is done on a metal plate with a cutting tool called a barin, which leaves a V-shaped trough. Drawing or design on the plate are entirely composed of lines and/or dots.
Surface Printing includes all processes in which printing is done from a flat (plane) surface.

City Planning City planning is a profession in which planners work to guide the present and future growth of a
city by striking a careful balance between residential, commercial, recreational, and institutional needs.
Example:
Interior Design is used to designate design and arrangement of architectural interiors for convenience and beauty. It includes backgrounds (wall, floors, cellings ) furnishings, and accessories. Example:
Sculpture is the art of carving, cutting, or hewing wood, stone, metal, and clay; but ivory, jade, wire, string and other materials are also used. Sculptures of figures are called statues. Example:
Crafts is refers to the designing and making of objects by hand for use or for pleasure. It includes such fields as ceramics, jewelry, leatherwork, and weaving. Example:
Beaded Craft
Paper Craft
Industrial Design is the use of a combination of applied art and applied science to improve the aesthetics, ergonomics, and usability of a product, but it may also be used to improve the product's marketability and production. Example:
An iPod Dress and Costume Design refers to the cover the design of wearing apparel of all typesdresses, coats, suits, shoes, ties, etc. Example:
