insulators.
• As a verb, ceramics refers to white clay moulded
by hand or shaped with the use of potter’s wheel

THE POTTER’S WHEEL –
Is a circular flat disk that is operated by foot or

Is a hard baked red clay that has been exposed from
2,070 to 2,320 degrees Fahrenheit. It is used to create
pottery, sculpture and building bricks, tile roof an etc.

STEPS IN METALLURGY
PROCESS OF MAKING JEWERLY
MINING-the process of extracting metal
from the ground. FORGING- purifying the mineral by
submitting to heart.
FORGING- purifying the metal from
impurities by using fire. ALLOYING- mixing different minerals to
produced desied metal.
ALLOYING- mixing of different minerals to
produce a desired specific metal. MOLDING/CASTING- shaping into desired
form.
CASTING- shaping the Metal for a certain
function. POLISHING- Giving the metal optimum
glass.
MOLDING- Same as casting

SMELTING- refining the shaped metal by

hammering.

ANNEALING- reinforcing the strength of

the metal by exposing the metalin extreme
temerature.

JEWERLY
is a craft that concerns with working on or

 IMAGING
IMAGING
The technology has transformed the visual arts. It has
been thousand of years since it was established that the
central goal of art was to copy nature as closely as
possible.
DIGITAL ARTS
In the midst of the technetronic society’s advancements,
the use of digital equipment like the camera is prioritized
over doing a work of photography accomplished through
the use of film.
WHAT DIGITAL ART IS?
Digital art most commonly refers to art created on a
computer in digital form. The impact of digital
technology has transformed traditional activities such as
painting, drawing, sculpture, and architecture while new
forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual
and reality, have been recognized as artistic practices.
THE WORK OF THE DIGITAL ARTIST
ROBOTICS
Is the engineering science and technology of robots, and
their design, manufacture, application and structural
disposition
INTERNET ART
(OFTEN REFERRED TO AS NET ART)
Is art which uses the Internet as its primary
medium/platform or digital artwork distributed via the
Internet.
VIRTUAL REALITY IMMERSION
Is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s
awareness of physical self is diminished or lost.
SOFTWARE ART
Refers to works of art where the creation of software, or
concepts from software, play an important role; for
example software applications which were created by
artists and which were intended as artworks.
COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGERY
is art created with a computer, from models created by
the artist. In the 1990s, and early 2000s CGI advanced
enough so that for the first time it was possible to create
realistic 3D computer animation.
FORMS OF DIGITAL ART
DIGITAL PAINTING
Digital painting is an emerging art form in which
traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils,
impasto, charcoal are applied using digital tools by
means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus and
software.
Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art,
particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not
involve the computer rendering from a model.
DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE
Digital architecture is the use of cutting edge 3-D virtual
reality which allows creation of various elements of a
project such as master plans, buildings and surrounding
environment in the computers memory that brings
project to life.
Digital architecture incorporates into its design of a
project information from civil engineers, landscape
designers, traffic engineers, golf-course designers, etc. to
create the project in virtual reality.
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
it is a form of photography that uses digital technology
to make images of subjects. Digital photography is one
of several forms of digital imaging.
Digital photography has also been adopted by many
amateur snapshot photographers, who take advantage of
the convenience of the form when sending images by
email, placing placing them on a World Wide Web, or
displaying them in digital picture frames.
DIGITAL ART IN FOOD
PHOTOGRAPHY
The use of digital camera to take high-quality
photographs of food reveals the secret of food stylist.
Digital food photography gives the ingredients to cook
up your own recipe for success with professional
lighting techniques composition, food and prop styling,
retouching and tricks of the trade.
DIGITAL CINEMATOGRAHY
Digital cinematography is the process of capturing
motion pictures as digital images, rather than on film.
The benefits and drawbacks of digital vs. film
acquisition are still debated, but digital cinematography
cameras sales have surpassed mechanical cameras in the
classic 35 mm format.
Digital cinematography cameras suitable for acquiring
footage intended theoretical release have meanwhile
gained widespread adoption.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is a science and an art.
The word photography is derived from the Greek word
roots “to write with lights”.
Photography is truly an art of the hand, head and heart.
Chemical changes occur in the film so that the images
are recorded. It would be inaccurate to think of the art of
photography as mechanical since photographers in
taking pictures or shots make artistic choices from the
most ordinary to the most sophisticated.
CAMERAS
Cameras may look very different from one another and
boast a variety of equipment.
The amount of light that enters a camera is determined
by the size of opening called the APERTURE in the
shutter which can be adjusted manually or automatically
in advanced camera.
CINEMATOGRAPHY
Cinematograph is the art of making pictures by
manipulating the technology and processes to achieve
desired effects.
The specific cameras and lenses, lighting and post-
production effects and the film stock that directors and
cinematographers use will determine the character of a
film.
VARIETIES OF CINEMATOGRAPHY
TECHNIQUES
FIXED CAMERAS AND STAGE
PRODUCTIONS- with a stage play, the audience is
fixed and observes the action from single vantage point.
MOBILE CAMERA- the camera follows a subject
within the frame, such as a moving actor or a moving
vehicle using a Glidecam via handheld camera operator,
or by being panned on a tripod.
EDITING- is the separating and assembling
(sometimes called “patching and pasting”)of sequences
of film.
COLOR IN FILM- came to used in the 1930’s
which change the viewing experience of audiences who
were on the traditional black and white film.
VARIETIES OF CINEMATOGRAPHY
TECHNIQUES
ANIMATION- is the creation of motion pictures by
photographing a series of drawings, each of
which shows a stage of movement that differs slightly
from the one preceding it.
SPECIAL EFFECTS (SFX)- Traditionally, the
illusions of tricks of the eye used in the film,
television,theatre, video game,and simulator industries to
simulate the imagined events in a story or virtual world.
VARIETIES OF CINEMATOGRAPHY
EXPERIENCE
PROPAGANDA- Propaganda films may be
packaged in numerous ways, but are most often
documentary-style productions or fictional screenplays.
The Japanese produced films shown on their occupied
territories during the second world war as a Propaganda
of promoting their so called “Co-prosperity Sphere”.
Video as a medium, distinguished from the commercial
efforts of the television establishment, was introduced in
the 1960’s.
