 01 History of the emergence of artists and artisans;

Table of 02
Function of state sponsorship in the field of arts
and culture through the National Artists Award and
the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA);

Contents 03 Identify and define the different individuals and

groups who take on varied roles in the world of art
and culture ; and

04 Classify the practices of artisans in terms of form,

medium, and technique
Artist
An artist is a creative soul who uses their
imagination and skill to produce works of art.

These works can take many forms, from

paintings and sculptures to music, literature, and
even performance.

Artists are driven by a deep desire to express

themselves, evoke emotions, challenge ideas, or
simply create beauty.
Artisan
An artisan is a skilled craftsperson who uses
their hands and expertise to create beautiful and
functional objects.

Unlike artists who focus primarily on expression,

artisans take pride in mastering a particular craft
and producing high-quality pieces that are both
useful and aesthetically pleasing.
 Artists were embedded in the development of culture, and in turn, art
was nurtured by the varying culture in which it existed.

Numerous monuments and memorials that are plotted over the world suh as:

Vietnam Veteran Pyramids of Giza The Stonehenge

Memorial in
Washington, DC
Artisan & The Guild
GUILD - is an associate of artisans and merchants who
oversee the practice of their craft/trade in a particular
territory.

ARTISAN - is a skilled worker who makes the things by

hand.
 Why some modes of Artistic and Creative
Production have survived up to this day?

Perhaps there is difference in process and medium,

especially now that technology and emergence of new
materials are readily available. However, when you look at
these objects, they seemingly retained the basic principles
of aesthetic and design.
Gothic Architectures
A style of masonry building characterized by the
cavernous spaces with the expanse of walls
broken up by overlaid tracery.
Gothic Architectures (example)
Master Mason Gerhard Ryle

he started the project in 1248 but was

completed roughly 600 years later,
claiming the record as one of the longest
construction projects to date.
Gothic Cathedrals
The Artist & His Studio

Artists claiming authorship for their works

by affixing their mark onto the surface of
their paintings was a big milestone in the
history of the artist
Studio
A site that saw this shift was a very
personal space for the artist himself

An art studio is sometimes called an

“atelier”

Vermeer’s The Art of Painting (1665-7)

Workstations

Studiolo
Bottega
meant a kind of a study, a room for
contemplation which was separated from where the work usually happened

Medium & Techniques
Medium
is the mode of expression in which the
concepts, idea, or message is conveyed.

It may be tangible (paintings, sculptures,

monuments, and structures).

It may be ephemeral/transient (track;

recording of sound, a film, or a
performance.

Medium & Techniques, cont’d

A chosen medium must NOT expected to yield the same results.

This is where TECHNIQUE comes in, as it is

the reason why art history is described by
a seemingly limitless example of works of
art.
Medium & Techniques, cont’d

Technique
The technique of the artwork shows the LEVEL OF FAMILIARITY
with the medium being manipulated.
Medium & Techniques, cont’d
Techniques
It alludes to the necessity of additional tools
or implements:

For sculptors: hammer and chisel may come in handy

Consideration of time: behavior of different kinds of paint especially in
drying time requirements
Specificity of the site of creation: indoor or outdoor production
requirements.
Engagement with Art
In Anna Cline’s The Evolving and its Impact on Art and Culture (2012),

she wrote that

“exhibitions act as the catalyst of art and ideas to the public; they represent a way of displaying
and contextualizing art that makes it relevant and accessible to contemporary audiences. The art
exhibition, by its nature, holds a mirror up to society, reflecting its interests and concerns while
at the same time challenging its ideologies and preconceptions. Keeping art relevant to society
and to diverse audience at any given point in history is one of the main goals of the art exhibition
and one of the reasons it is so important to the history of art.”
Engagement with Art, cont’d
In Paula Marincola’s What Makes a Great Exhibition? (2006)

it reads that

“exhibitions are strategically located at the nexus where artists, their work, the arts institution,
and many different public interest.”
Engagement with Art, cont’d
OTHER OPPURTUNITIES FOR ART ENGAGEMENT:

classroom (instruction);
studio visits; lectures, workshops, and other events that augment the
exhibitions (programs);
auction sales; art fairs, biennials and triennials; and
other larger showing of artworks where art personalities can also flex
their influence and authority.

 01 enumerate the different elements of visual and
auditory art;

of the elements of art, and the principles of art;

04 principles of art in the study of art and its products
(artworks); and

art forms are combined therein.

has width. It is one-dimensional .

SHAPE AND FORM
These two are related to each other in that they define the space occupied by the object
of art.

AUDITORY

RHYTHM

Associated to the terms beat, meter, and tempo, rhythm is the element of
music that situates it in time.
It is the pulse of the music.
Beat is basic unit of music while tempo refers to its speed (beats/second).
Beats can be organized into a recognizable recurrent pattern called the meter.

DYNAMICS
The element of music that refers to the loudness or quietness of music is
dynamics.

MELODY

AUDITORY

TIMBRE
Timbre is often likened to the color of music. It is a quality that distinguishes a
voice or an instrument from another.

TEXTURE
The number of melodies, the type of layers, and their relatedness in a composition is the texture
of music. It may be:
a. Monophonic – single melodic line
b. Polyphonic – two or more melodic lines
c. Homophonic – main melody accompanied by chords
Principles
of
Art
1. Balance a. Symmetrical

b. Asymmetrical: the elements are not the same

(or of the same weight) on each side, putting the
heaviness on one side.

c. Radial : there is a central point in the

2. Scale and Proportion
a. Natural: it relates to the realistic size-relations of the visual elements
in the artwork.

b. Exaggerated: These refer to unusual size-relations of visual

elements, deliberately exaggerating the immensity or minuteness of an
object.

c. Idealized: most common to those that follow canons of perfection,

the size-relations of elements or objects achieve the most ideal size-
relations.
3-4. Emphasis and Contrast

Emphasis allows the attention of the viewer to a focal point(s),

accentuating or drawing attention to these elements or objects.

Contrast is the disparity between the elements that figure into the
composition.
5-6. Unity and Variety
Unity: compositions are intended to imbue a sense of accord of
completeness from the artwork.
Variety is the principles that aims to retain the interest by allowing
patches or areas that both excite and allow the eye to rest.

7. Harmony
The elements or objects achieve a sense of flow and
interconnectedness.

8. Movement
This refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the
artwork, often guided by areas or elements that are emphasized.
9. Rhythm
This is created by an element is repeated, creating implied movement.

10-11. Repetition and Pattern

Repetition: lines, shapes, colors, and other elements may appear in the
artwork in a recurring manner.

Pattern: the image created out of the repetition.

Combined or Hybrid Art

This refer to events that combine a variety of media or materials

which can be both seen and heard, and which exist in both space
and time.

Some examples of combined arts include dance, theatre,

installation art, film, video art, documentary, photography,
puppetry, design, and other forms of products and productions.
