 ART PRODUCTION: PAINTING
AND SCULPTURE
PAINTING
SCULPTURE
- Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that
operates in three dimensions.
- The common materials used in sculpture are
terracotta clay, bronze, metals, wood, stone,
resin, or recycled materials.
- The sculpting process
o subtractive (where the material is
removed or carved out until the desired
form is visible) or
o additive(modeling).
- These objects can be anything organic or man-
made.
- The Rule of Thirds
o is a general guideline for how to create an
interesting composition which states that
any image—painting, photograph, graphic
design— should be broken into a grid
with two vertical and two horizontal
lines, creating nine equally proportioned
boxes.
- Important compositional elements should then be
placed either on the lines or at their intersections.
- This results in dynamic, interesting compositions
that draw the viewer’s eye across the scene.

- The artist removes areas to create the desired

- Carvers use tools like chisels, which have straight
cutting blades, and gouges, which have convex
cutting blades.
- Carving is considered a subtractive process
because the excess material is removed in the
process of creating a finished work.

ASSEMBLING

- It is a form of sculpture comprised of "found"

objects arranged in such a way that they create a
