ASSIGNMENT:

Answer the following questions in 1-2 sentences only.

 What is medium in art? Give five examples of medium used in art.
 What is technique in art?
 Differentiate traditional technique from contemporary technique.
 Give 1 example for each technique.
WHAT IS MEDIUM?

 Medium is defined as the material or the substance out of which a work is made. Through these materials, the
artists express and communicate feelings and ideas. The medium also defines the nature of the art form as follows:
1. Sculpture
2. Architecture
3. Paintings
4. Printmaking
5. Music
6. Dance
7. Theater
8. Photography
9. Writing
 On the basis of medium, the arts can be classified as PRACTICAL,
ENVIRONMENTAL, PICTORIAL, NARRATIVE and MUSICAL.

MUSICAL ARTS include music, poetry and dance that is

accompanied by music. The PRACTICAL ARTS have immediate use for
everyday and business life such as design, architecture and furniture.
PICTORIAL WORKS include painting, drawing, graphics and stage and
production design. Works that are staged and performed are considered
DRAMATIC and they include drama, performance art or music and dance.
If they are based on stories, the art forms are classified as NARRATIVE.
WHAT IS TECHNIQUE?

 Technique is the manner in which artists use and manipulate materials to

achieve the desired formal effect and communicate the desired concept
or meaning according to his personal style.
1. Stone is chiseled
2. Wood is carved
3. Clay is molded and shaped
4. Metal is cast
5. Thread is woven
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

Wood carving
- An art that has been practiced all
over the world but very avidly in
Southeast Asia where great pieces of
woodwork had been crafted
throughout the ages.
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

Silk-screen printing
- Is one of the most popular printing
techniques and is most-used by companies
when printing design onto products of
different sizes and materials. It has been used
for more than 100 years in the commercials
and artistic sector and is mainly used for
printing images and designs on T-shirts, Tote
bags, paper, wood, ceramics nad other
materials.
 TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

Analogue photography
-it refers to photography using an analogue
camera and film. A roll of film loaded inti
the camera and the magic begins once you
start clicking; light interacts with the
chemicals in the film and an image is
recorded. The pictures collected in your
film roll come to life when the film is
processed in a photo lab.
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

Film-making
- Is the process of making a film. The
direction or the production of films for
the cinema or television is a visual story
telling. Film making involves a number of
discrete stages including an initial story,
idea or commission through
screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound
recording and reproduction, editing and
screening the finished product before an
audience that may result in a film release
and exhibition.
CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES

Digital Photography
Uses camera containing arrays of electronic
photodetectors to capture images focused by a
lens as opposes to an exposure on photographic
film. The captured images are digitized and stored
as a computer file ready for further digital
processing, viewing, electronic publishing or digital
printing .
CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES

Digital Film Making

-is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to blend art and digital
media and speed up the process of filmmaking as wells as be more
creative and enterprising in the special effects department
In short, more flexible digital cameras- such as the Panasonic HVX
200 and the RED One and Scarlet cameras- and editing software
such as Final Cut Pro have made the cinematographer’s and editor’s
job easier and made it possible for filmmakers to produce quality
films at much less expensive cost.
CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES

Music Production
-it is the process of creating a recorded music project. A
record producer usually handles music production,
managing every aspect.
Since music production plays a vital role in the quality
of the final product, it can make or beak the success of
an album. Record producers give recommendations on
which songs are best to record; manage financial aspects
of recording; hire outside performers if needed and
work with sound engineers in the recording process.
CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES

Industrial design
it is the combination of art and
engineering, drawing skills, creativity and
technical knowledge. Industrial engineers
usually choose to work on products in a
specific industry such as the medical,
automobile or technology industry.
CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES

Robotics
It is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of
computer science and engineering. Robotics involves
design, construction, operation and the use of robots.
The goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines
that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives
and keep everyone safe.
