What is Art Form?

 Art form refers to the elements of art that are

independent of its interpretation or significance. It
covers the methods adopted by the artist and the
physical composition of the artwork, primarily non-
semantic aspects of the work (such
as color, contour, dimension, medium, melody, 
space, texture, and value. Form may also
include visual design principles, such as
arrangement, balance, contrast, emphasis, 
harmony, proportion, proximity, and rhythm.
Types of Visual Arts

1. PAINTING
 Painting is the practice of
applying paint, pigment, color or other
medium to a solid surface (called the
"matrix" or "support"). The medium is
commonly applied to the base with
a brush, but other implements, such as
knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be
used.
Types of Visual Arts

 In art, the term painting describes both the act and

the result of the action (the final work is called "a
painting"). The support for paintings includes such
surfaces
as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pott
ery, leaf,  copper and concrete, and the painting
may incorporate multiple other materials,
including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and
even whole objects.
Types of Visual Arts

 Painting  is an important form in the visual arts,

bringing in elements such
as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural
painting), narration (as in narrative art),
and abstraction (as in abstract art). 
 Paintings can be naturalistic and representational
(as in still life and landscape
painting), photographic, abstract,
narrative, symbolistic (as in Symbolist
art), emotive (as in Expressionism) or political in
nature (as in Artivism).
Types of Visual Arts

2. DRAWING
 Drawing is a form of visual art in which an artist uses
instruments to mark paper or other two-
dimensional surface.
 Drawing instruments include graphite pencils, pen and
ink, various kinds of paints, inked brushes, colored
pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, erasers,
 markers, styluses, and metals (such as silverpoint).
 Digital drawing is the act of using a computer to draw.
Common methods of digital drawing include a stylus or
finger on a touchscreen device, stylus- or finger-to-
touchpad, or in some cases, a mouse. There are many
digital art programs and devices.

3. PRINTMAKING
 Printmaking is the process of
creating artworks by printing,
normally on paper. Printmaking
normally covers only the process of
creating prints that have an element
of originality, rather than just being a
photographic reproduction of a
painting.
Types of Visual Arts

 Printing isa process for mass reproducing

text and images using a master form or
template. The earliest non-paper products
involving printing include cylinder seals and
objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and
the Cylinders of Nabonidus. The earliest
known form of printing as applied to paper
was woodblock printing, which appeared in
China before 220 AD for cloth printing.
However, it would not be applied to paper
until the seventh century.

4. SCULPTURE
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that
operates in three dimensions. Durable sculptural
processes originally used carving (the removal of
material) and modelling (the addition of material,
as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and
other materials but, since Modernism, there has
been an almost complete freedom of materials
and process. A wide variety of materials may be
worked by removal such as carving, assembled
by welding or modelling, or moulded or cast.

5. CERAMIC ART
Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay.
It may take forms including artistic pottery,
including tableware, tiles, figurines and other sculpture. While
some ceramics are considered fine art, as pottery or sculpture,
most are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art
objects. Ceramics may also be
considered artefacts in archaeology.
Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of
people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design,
manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery
are sometimes referred to as "art pottery". In a one-person
pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery.
Types of Visual Arts
The word "ceramics" comes from the
Greek keramikos (κεραμεικός), meaning "pottery",
which in turn comes from keramos (κέραμος)
meaning "potter's clay".
Most traditional ceramic products were made
from clay (or clay mixed with other materials),
shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and
decorative ceramics are generally still made this
way. In modern ceramic engineering usage,
ceramics is the art and science of making objects
from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the
action of heat.

6. PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is the art, application,
and practice of creating
durable images by recording light,
either electronically by means of an 
image sensor, or chemically by
means of a light-sensitive material
such as photographic film.
Types of Visual Arts
7. VIDEO
Video is an electronic medium for the
recording, copying,
playback, broadcasting, and display
of moving visual media.Video was first
developed for mechanical
television systems, which were quickly
replaced by cathode ray tube (CRT)
systems which were later replaced
by flat panel displays of several types.
A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is
a vacuum tube containing one
or more electron guns, the
beams of which are
manipulated to display images
on a phosphorescent screen
A CRT on a television set is
commonly called a picture
tube.

8. FILM-MAKING
Filmmaking (or, in any context, film production) is the
process by which a film is made.
Filmmaking involves a number of complex and discrete
stages including an initial story, idea, or commission,
through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound
recording and pre-production, editing, and screening the
finished product before an audience that may result in
a film release and an exhibition.
Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world
in a range of economic, social, and political contexts,
and using a variety of technologies and cinematic
techniques.
Types of Visual Arts
A film, also called a movie, motion
picture or moving picture, is a work
of visual art used to simulate
experiences that communicate ideas,
stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty,
or atmosphere through the use of
moving images

9. DESIGN
A design is a plan or specification for the
construction of an object or system or for the
implementation of an activity or process, or the
result of that plan or specification in the form of a 
prototype, product or process.
The verb to design expresses the process of
developing a design. In some cases, the direct
construction of an object without an explicit prior
plan (such as in craftwork, some engineering,
coding, and graphic design) may also be
considered to be a design activity.
Types of Visual Arts
The design usually has to satisfy
certain goals and constraints, may take
into account aesthetic, functional,
economic, or socio-political
considerations, and is expected to
interact with a certain environment. Major
examples of designs include architectural
blueprints, engineering
drawings, business processes, circuit
diagrams, and sewing patterns.
Types of Visual Arts
The person who produces a design is called
a designer, which is a term generally used for people
who work professionally in one of the various design
areas—usually specifying which area is being dealt
with (such as a fashion designer, product
designer, web designer or interior designer), but also
others such as architects and engineers.
A designer's sequence of activities is called a design
process, possibly using design methods. The process
of creating a design can be brief (a quick sketch) or
lengthy and complicated, involving considerable
research, negotiation, reflection, modeling, interactive
adjustment and re-design.

10. CRAFT
A craft or trade is a pastime or an occupation
that requires particular skills and knowledge
of skilled work. In a historical sense,
particularly the Middle Ages and earlier, the
term is usually applied to people occupied in
small-scale production of goods, or their 
maintenance, for example by tinkers.
The traditional term craftsman is nowadays
often replaced by artisan and
by craftsperson (craftspeople)
Types of Visual Arts

A skilled worker is any worker who has special skill,

training, knowledge which they can then apply to
their work. A skilled worker may have attended a 
college, university or technical school.
An artisan (from French: artisan, Italian: artigiano) is
a skilled craft worker who makes or creates material
objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may
be functional or strictly decorative, for
example furniture, decorative
art, sculpture, clothing, food items, household items
and tools and mechanisms such as the handmade
clockwork movement of a watchmaker.
Types of Visual Arts

11. ARCHITECTURE
 Architecture (Latin architectura, from the
Greek ἀρχιτέκτων arkhitekton "architect",
from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "creator") is
both the process and the product
of planning, designing,
and constructing buildings or
other structures.
