 PAINTING
•The expression of ideas and emotions, with the
creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-
dimensional visual language.

•An artist’s decision to use a particular medium, such

as tempera, fresco, oil, acrylic, watercolour or other
water-based paints, ink, gouache, encaustic, or
casein
• The pigment may be in a wet form, such as paint, or a
dry form, such as pastels.

• Painting can also be a verb, the action of creating

such an artwork.
 Need to Know:
•Pigment: Nearly all paint colors come from nature. Dirt, rock,
plants, etc. are the raw material, which is ground down into
what is called a pigment.

•Acrylic Paint: A thick shiny paint made by mixing pigment with

water and an acrylic base. Dries within a few hours.

•Poster Paint: A solid water-based paint that dries to a matt

finish.
•Fresco: The word is Italian for "fresh". The technique involves
painting with dry pigment on wet plaster. Fresco a secco
involves painting on dry plaster.

•Oil Paint: A thick, shiny paint made by mixing pigment with oil
(usually linseed). Takes several days to dry.

•Tempera: A water-based paint that may or may not be mixed

with egg yolks (egg tempera).

•Watercolor: A soft and see-through (transparent) paint

made from pigment, water and gum Arabic.
• Artistic paintings were introduced to the Filipinos in the 16th
century when the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines.

• The Spaniards used paintings as religious propaganda to

spread Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These
paintings, appearing mostly on church walls, featured
religious figures appearing in Catholic teachings.

• In the early 19th century, wealthier, educated Filipinos

introduced more secular Filipino art, causing art in the
Philippines to deviate from religious motifs.
• The elements of painting are the basic components or building
blocks of a painting (and art generally). In Western art they are
generally considered to be:
• Color
• Tone (or value)
• Line (a narrow mark made by a brush, or a line created where two
things meet)
• Shape (2D, can be positive or negative) and Form (3D)
• Space (or volume)
• Texture (or pattern)
 Color
• -is the most basic element of a painting. Every color has three aspects
to it: hue or name, value or tone, and intensity.

• Hue – Pure Color (Red, Blue…..).

• Value – Amount of Black or White in color.

• 0-Intensity – Degree of Purity of color.

 Tone
• refers to the degree of lightness or darkness of an area.

• Tone varies from the bright white of a light source through

shades of gray to the deepest black shadows.
 Line
• Is used to control our eye, create unity and balance. Help
construct meanings.

• Line can be described as a moving dot. Line is perhaps the

most basic element of drawing.
 Shape
•an element of art that is a two-dimensional area that is
defined in some way. A shape may have an outline
around it or you may recognize it by its area.

•Geometric shapes - precise shapes that can be described

using mathematical formulas. Ex. Circle, square, triangle,
oval, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, pentagon,
pentagram, hexagon, and octagon.
• Freeform Shapes - also called organic shapes, are irregular and
uneven shapes. Their outlines may be curved, angular, or a
combination of both

• Form - an element of art, means objects that have three

dimensions like f form as a 3-D shape
Space

• Is the area around, above, and within an object. With consideration

to drawings and paintings, our goal is to create the illusion of space.
Six (6) ways an artist can create the
illusion of space on a 2-Dimensional
surface.

• Overlapping - occurs
when objects that are
closer to the viewer
prevent the view of
objects that are behind
them.
• Placement on the paper -
Objects placed higher
within the picture plane
will appear further away.

• Size - Objects that are

smaller will appear further
away from the viewer.
• Detail - Objects that are further
away should have less detail
than objects that are closer to
the viewer.

• Color and Value - Objects that are

further away are lighter in value,
while objects that are closer are
typically darker in value.
•Perspective - Linear
perspective is a
drawing method that
uses lines to create the
illusion of space on a
flat surface.
Texture
• Implied – suggested roughness or smoothness of objects in the
composition.

• Real – what it would feel like if you touch it.

TYPES OF PAINTING
• Landscape is an
outdoor scene. A
landscape artist uses
paint to create not
only land, water, and
clouds but air, wind,
and sunlight.
• 0- Portrait is an image
of a person or animal.
Besides showing what
someone looks like, a
portrait often captures
a mood or personality.
• Still life shows objects,
such as flowers, food, or
musical instruments. A
still life reveals an artist's
skill in painting shapes,
light, and shadow.
• Real Life scene
captures life in
action. It could
show a busy
street, a beach
party, a dinner
gathering, or
anyplace where
living goes on.

It might portray a
sacred story or
express an artist's
faith

THE FILIPINO PAINTERS
 The Philippines is home to a long and rich history of
excellence in visual arts. This tradition started as early as
the 19th century with Damian Domingo, also known as
the Father of Filipino Painting, who was the first Filipino to
paint a self-portrait. He was followed by greats such as
Juan Luna, who painted the world-renowned Spoliarium,
and Fabián de la Rosa, uncle and mentor to Fernando
Amorsolo.
 Mastery of the visual arts has been passed down
through the decades, and the Philippine government has
sought to reward that through the Order of National
Artists. The Order of National Artists, also known as Orden
ng mga Pambansang Alagad ng Sining, is the highest
national recognition given to Filipinos who have made
significant contributions to the growth and development
of arts in the Philippines.
