DISCOVERING AND EXPLORING

Techniques and production go simultaneously. There is no production without any techniques.

Some contemporary artist did not study fine arts or any other formal studies about arts. Some
learn by interacting with other artist or studying on their own by going around visiting places to
get ideas on what they would create.

GENERALIZATION

Collage
Collages are the techniques of an art production primarily used in visual arts, where the artwork
is made from the assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. It may sometimes
include magazines and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paints , bits of colored or handmade
papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs, and other found objects, glued to a piece
of paper or canvas.

Decollage

Decollage is the opposite of collage; instead of an image is being built up all or parts of existing
images, it is created by cutting, treating away or otherwise removing pieces of an original image.
The French word “Decollage” in English means “Take-Off” or “to become unglued” or “to
become unstruck.”

Examples of decollage include etresissements and cut-up technique. Similar technique is the
lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster
or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters
underneath.

Graffiti

Graffiti are writings or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall
or other surface, often in a public space. Graffiti range from simple written words to elaborate
wall paintings. It may express underlying social and political messages, and a whole genre of
artistic expression is based spray paint graffiti styles.

Land Art

Earthworks or earth arts is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are
inextricably linked. It is also an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as
soil, rock, organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and water which introduced materials such as
concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments. Sculpture is not placed in the landscape; rather, the
landscape is the means of their creation. The works frequently exist in the open, located well
away from civilization, left to change and erode under natural conditions.

Digital Arts

It is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the creative or
presentation process. Digital art is placed under the larger umbrella term new media art. After
some resistance, the impact of digital technology has transformed activities such as paintings,
drawings, sculpture, and music/sound art, while new form such as net art. Digital installation art
and virtual reality have become recognized artistic practices. More generally the term digital
artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the production of art.

“Digital Art” is a term applied to contemporary art that uses the method of mass production or
digital media. The techniques of digital art are used extensively by the mainstream media in
advertisements and by film-makers to produce visual effects. Both digital and traditional artist
use many sources of electronic information and programs to create their work.

Mixed-Media

Module 2 Quarter 2MSEUFRivera Neric

In visual art, it refers to artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been
employed. It refers to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art
media. For example, work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage. When creating a
painted or photographed work using mixed media, it is important to choose the layers carefully
and allow enough dying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have structural
integrity. If many different media are used, it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation
upon which the different layers are imposed. Many effects can be achieved by using mixed
media. Found objects can be used in conjunction with the traditional artist to attain wide range of
self-expression.
