MODULE 3: Necessary Art Concepts

INTRODUCTION

Sa bahaging ito ng ating talakayan, subukan nating hubugin pa ang inyong

kakayanan na ma-identify at ma-differentiate ang iba’t ibang uri ng artworks o
masterpieces sa pamamagitan ng pag-unawa sa iba’t ibang konseptong
nakapaloob dito.

Kapag nauunawaan natin ang mga konseptong nakapaloob sa isang artwork, mas
lumalalim din ang pag-unawa at appreciation natin sa artist, sa mga prosesong
ginamit niya upang makabuo nito at sa produktong nalikha.

After successfully completing this module, you should be able to:

1. Create a still life painting

I. Necessary Art Concepts

A. Subject
 It is the literal meaning of the artwork.
 It pertains to the most recognizable object in the picture or the centerpiece in a
work of art.
 There are five major subjects frequently explored by artists. These are the ff:

1. Still Life – a collection of inanimate objects arranged together in a specific

way.

Remember this!

Ang tao o hayop, kahit sila ay hindi gumagalaw, ay hindi magagamit na modelo sa still
life. Ang mga ito kasi ay sumasailalim sa portraiture dahil sila ay subject na buhay.
Kung gayon, pagdating sa still life, inanimate objects ang subjects o mga bagay na
walang buhay gaya ng madalas na ginagamit na wine bottles, mga prutas, banga o
2. Landscape – natural sceneries, mountains, cliffs, rivers, kapag landscape ang
pinag-uusapan, ang subject ay buong scenery.
3. Nature - focused view or interpretation of specific natural element, kapag
nature naman ang subject, pumipili lamang ng isang element ng nature,
halimbawa ay ibon o puno

4. Portraiture – image of a particular person or animal or group thereof

 5. Abstract - a non-representational work of art

B. Content
 It refers to the message, idea, feeling, theme, or belief, which the artists
want to convey.

C. Medium
 It refers to the material/s or stuff used by the artist, the physical means by
which the artist communicates.
  Ex. Painting: watercolor, oil, acrylic, chalk pastel
Music: voice or musical instruments
Sculpture: wood, marble, clay

D. Techniques
 They are the artist’s means or ways of using the different art elements,
principles, and media.
E. Style
In art, when we talk about Style we can be referring to:

 Art of a particular historical time period (Medieval)

 Art of a particular nation (Italian Renaissance)

 A particular group of artists (the Pre-Raphaelites)

 The manner of an individual artist (Rubenesque, Titianesque, Warholesque,

Muchaesque)

 A technical or artistic approach (Pointillism, Photorealism, abstract, realistic

etc…)

Step 1: Gather materials like wine bottles, fruits, cups, etc. and arrange them

Step 3: Create your still life painting as best as you can.
Step 4: Post the photo of the actual objects and the photo of your artwork. (And
I hope that they would look the same!  )
