II. Background Information for Learners
With the broadening of the art world, many people are getting confused
about what qualifies as an artistic skill. Artistic skills are abilities that are possessed
by artists who operate within a fine art capacity.
Each artist uses different mediums to develop their artistic skills. A
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. The sculptor uses metal, wood, stone, clay, and glass. Sculptures fall within
the category of “three-dimensional” arts because they occupy space and have
volume.
Pottery is a form of sculpture. Other examples are nudes or figures such as
Guillermo Tolentino’s Oblation, ritual objects such as bulul wood carvings
in the Cordillera, or the santos or carvings of saints in Christian churches.
2. The architect uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete and various
building materials. Buildings are also called “three-dimensional”. However,
architecture has the added element of time since we move into structures.
3. The painter uses pigments (e. g. watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic,
ink, etc.) on a usually flat ground (wood, canvas, paper, stone wall such as
cave paintings.)
4. The printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a surface (wood, metal
plates, or silk screen) that is keeping with a duplicating or reproducing
process. Prints and paintings are further classified as “two-dimensional” arts,
because they include the surface or ground on which coloring substances are
applied. However, while paintings are unique and one-of-a-kind, prints can be
reproduced in several predetermined editions.
5. The musician uses sound and instruments (including human voice), while the
dancers use the body. A T’boli chanter sings creation stories in a way that is
different from a classical singer or pop music influenced by the Western music
scale.
6. The dancer uses the body and its movement. Dance is often accompanied by
music, but there are dances that do not rely on musical accompaniment to be
realized. Dance can tell stories, but other times, they convey abstract ideas that
do not rely on a narrative.
4
 7. The theater artist integrates all the arts and uses the stage, production design,
performance elements, and script to enable the visual, musical, dance and
other aspects to come together as a whole work.
8. The photographer and filmmaker use the camera to record the outside world.
The filmmaker uses the cinematographic camera to record and put together
production design, sound engineering, performance, and screenplay. In digital
photography and film, the images can be assimilated into the computer, thus
eliminating the need for celluloid or negatives, processing chemicals, or print.
9. The writer of a novel, poetry, nonfiction, and fiction uses words. The
designer, the performance artist, and the installation artist combine use of
the range or materials above.
TECHNIQUE
Technique is the way artists use and manipulate materials to achieve the
desired formal effect, and communicate the desired concept, or meaning,
according to his or her personal style (modern, Neoclassic, etc.). The distinctive
character or nature of the medium determines the technique.
Technique involves tools and technology, ranging from most traditional
(for example carving, silkscreen, analog photography, and filmmaking) to the
most contemporary (digital photography, digital filmmaking, music production,
industrial design, and robotics).
Here are some art techniques used by artists.
1. Collage – the technique of art production used in visual arts, where the
artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new
whole. Collage 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.
2. Decollage – the opposite of collage, where, instead of pieces of other images
are grouped together to create a new piece of art. A decollage is created by
cutting, treating away or otherwise removing pieces or parts of an original
larger image to create something new. The French word “Decollage” in
English means, “take-off” or “to become unglued” or “to become unstuck”.
Example of decollage include cut-up technique. Similar technique is the
lacerated poster – a poster in which one has been over another. Generally, it
is associated with a process used by artists of the nouveau réalisme (new
realism) movement that involved making art from posters ripped from walls.
3. Graffiti – are writing or drawings that have been scribed, 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. Graffiti may express
underlying social and political messages, and a whole genre of artistic
expression is based spray paint graffiti styles.

4. Land Art – earth works, 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 (bed rock, boulders,
stones), organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and water, which introduced
materials such as concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments.
5. Digital Arts – an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an
essential part of the creative or presentation process. It is an art work made
with digital technology or presented on digital technology. This includes
images done completely on computer or hand-drawn images scanned into a
computer and finished using a software program like Adobe Illustrator. Digital
art can also involve animation and 3D virtual sculpture renderings as well as
projects that combine several technologies. Some digital art involves
manipulation of video images. After some resistance, the impact of digital
technology has transformed activities such as paintings, drawing, sculpture,
and music/sound art, into a new form such as net art.
6. Mixed Media – it refers to a visual art work that combines various
traditionally distinct visual art. For example, work on canvas that combines
paint, ink, and collage. When creating a painted or photograph work using
mixed media, it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough
drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have structural
integrity – if many different layers are imposed. Many effects can be achieved
by using mixed media. Found objects can be used in conjunction with
traditional artist media to attain a wide range of self-expression.
7. Printmaking – the process of making artworks by painting, normally in
paper. Prints are created by transforming ink from a matrix ink from a matrix
or through a prepared screen to a sheet of paper or other material. Common
types of matrices include metal plates, usually copper or zinc, or polymer
plates for engraving or etching; stone aluminum of polymer for lithography;
blocks of wood crafts and wood graving; and linoleum for linocuts. Screen
made of silk or synthetic fabrics are used for the screen-printing process.
8. Frottage – the technique of copying the texture and shape of an object by
placing a sheet of paper on top and rubbing with a pencil, crayon, or similar
implement. The term comes from the French word, “frotter”, meaning, “to
rub.”
9. Decalcomania – a blotting process whereby paint/gouache is squeezed
between two surfaces to create a mirror image.
10. Decoupage – the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts
onto it and then coating these with one or transparent coating of varnish.
11. Eggshell mosaic - an artistic technique that uses tiny parts of eggshell to
create a whole image or object. Mosaics are usually assembled using small
tiles that are square, but they can also be round or randomly shaped.
12. Trapunto painting – the technique used by Pacita Abad, where her canvases
are padded, sewn, and often filled with sequins, beads, shell, buttons, tiny

 mirrors, bits of glass, rickrack, swatches of precious textiles, and other things
that she picks up from her travels and journey.
Art is considered an “artifact” when it is directly experienced and
perceived. It can be spatial and static or unmoving (e.g., a painting or building, or
a novel) or time based and in motion (e.g., a live theater production, mobile
sculpture).
To know the full meaning of a work, it is also necessary to study the
material from which it is made and how it is made.

In summary:
Many contemporary artists do not have formal studies in the fine arts. Many of them
are self-taught. Concerned with the development of their talent and skills in art
making, they study on their own, interact with artists and read a lot about lives of
artists and their artworks.
