Concept Notes:

The following are the Composition of Art.

1. Subject Matter. Every art has a subject or topic. It could be anything that can make the
artist’s wants to create.
Types of Subject Matter:
1.1 Representational Art or Objective Art – we can easily see identifiable
figures or objects. However, in abstract art, the appearance of object is
not realistically presented. Below are the possible subjects of
representational art:
• Interesting Person/s or Animal/s
• The Human Form
• Human Activities
• Commemorative Events
• Common Objects
• Nature
• Deity

1.2 Non-representational art or non- objective art does not depict

recognizable objects. It has no stories nor description. Art’s power to
communicate rests on the language of art itself.
2. Form – It is the specific quality of an artistic expression which includes all the visual
aspects of the work that can be isolated and described. It is the surface feature of an
artwork that has nothing to do with the art’s in-depth meaning. As the saying goes,
“what you see is what you get.” It is just what it is and nothing else.
3. Content – It is what the artwork is about. It contains the message that the artist is
trying to express or communicate. The artistic value of an artwork can be measured
by its originality, imaginative quality, its sincerity, and its truth.
4. Medium – It is the instrument of the artist in translating his feelings and thoughts into
form. It could be the substance artwork is made from.
5. Technique – It is how well an artist knows and uses his medium in achieving what he
wants in his creation. It is how he select and arranges his material to achieve a
specific effect.

Traditional” and “Folk” may be used interchangeably to refer those aspects of learned
behavior (culture) that are transferred through words of mouth
and or/by following an example set within a cultural group.
Traditional Art is learned from family or community members and is passed along through
generations, with each artist remaining true to time-honored
methods of techniques, yet free to add personal creativity to the
process.
Folk or traditional artists are highly trained, and it is the manner of their training that earns
them the designation of “folk.”
Animism is the usual theme of traditional arts. To depict something of the people’s gods and
goddesses is the main intention, thus, resulting in the creation of
abstract symbols of animistic figures like the sun, the moon, and the
other human images. One best example of this is the Bulul of Ifugaos.
Other examples are the women basketry of the Mangyans, the t’halak
tapestry woven by the T’bolis in South Cotabato, the pissiyabit (head
cloth) of Mindanao, and the embroidered jusi and pina cloth of
Lumban, Laguna.
