Distinguish and analyze the different elements, principles, and mediums of different visual arts 2. Identify and classify the different themes of visual arts in the Philippines 3. Appreciate and be proud of Philippine visual art masterpiece as part of cultural enrichment PART I – CONTENT UPODATE I. Definition of terms: 1. Painting – refers to the application of color, pigment, or paint to a surface or support. These surfaces may include paper, wood, canvas, metal or walls. Paint is made of pigment mixed in a binder. 2. Sculpture – a three dimensional artwork which may be through different processes, such as carving, modeling, assembling or casting. It may be executed as a free- standing object, in relief, or in environments, and a variety of media may be used. 3. Architecture – the art and science of designing and constructing buildings (structures), and other environmental features. II. The elements of Visual Arts 1. Line – the most basic of all elements. A line is an identifiable path traced by a moving point. Lines vary in types. They can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, straight or curved thick or thin. Different lines are used to signify, different feelings. For example: Horizontal line – suggests a feeling of rest, serenity, or perfect stability Vertical line – dominance, height, power Diagonal line – uncertainty, unrest, movement or action Curved line – flow, softness, flexibility, grace 2. Shape – shapes and forms are figures which define object s in space. A shape is a two- dimensional figure. Circles, triangles, and squares are common examples of shapes. Forms exist in three dimensions. Examples of forms include cubes, cylinders and pyramids among others. 3. Value – it is the relative degree of lightness or darkness in anything that is visible. It gives an impression of solidity, distance, and depth. Early European artists used a technique which defined by a strong contrast between light and dark. This is called chiaroscuro. 4. Color – it is the product of light reflected off objects. We see different colors because of light’s various instinct qualities, specially because of its different wavelengths. In visual arts, the relationship of colors is best seen in a color wheel. Primary color – red, yellow, and Blue (Red, Green, Blue in light) Secondary colors – Orange, Green, Violet Tertiary colors – yellow green, blue green, blue violet, red violet, red orange, and yellow orange Artists usually use color harmonies. These are combinations of colors which the artist uses convey his or her messages through the element of color. Monochromatic - the use of a single color tint in different values or shades Analogous – 3 to 4 neighboring colors with one color in all mixtures Complementary – any two opposite colors on the wheel Split Complementary – any three colors wherein two of which are beside the complement of the third color Double Split complementary or tetradic – this color scheme uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs Triad – three colors that form an equilateral triangle in a color wheel Properties of color: Hue – identity or the quality by which we distinguish colors Cool colors – colors which possesses the dominance of blue Warm colors - colors which possesses the dominance of red or yellow Value – lightness or darkness of a hue Intensity or Saturation – refers to the strength of a hue 5. Texture – refers to surface characteristics. A surface may be rough, smooth, glossy, coarse, irregular, etc 6. Space – refers to the area in which an artist arranges elements in a composition. Space can be two-dimensional (2D) such as in painting and photography, or three-dimensional (3D), such as in sculpture and installations. Depth can also be suggested in two- dimensional works, by the application of linear perspective – a graphing of distances between objects. St. Louis Review Center, Inc-Davao Tel. no. (082) 224-2515 or 222-8732 1 Types of perspective: One point – a representation of distance by means of converging lines. Two point – there are two points in line with each other in a horizontal position. All lines converge on these two points. Foreshortening – the modification of an established scale in a drawing of the human figure to represent perspective. III. Principles of Design 1. Balance – the idea of visual equilibrium which gives an impression of stability or instability. Symmetrical Balance – it has equal visual weight on either side of the canvas. It is visually stable. Asymmetrical Balance – an uneven balance Radical Balance – a symmetrical balance wherein elements are distributed evenly around a central point. 2. Proportion (or scale) – refers to the size relationships of one part to another, and of the part to whole. 3. Rhythm - a visual rhythm is characterized by the repetition or alternation of elements. Rhythm can be: Regular – repetition of a single motif Alternating – use of two different motifs alternately Progressing – motifs may be presented in a gradual shift in characteristics, like size (from small to large) 4. Emphasis and Subordination – to emphasize means to draw attention to certain parts of a composition. An emphasis is the focal point that rests on the subordinate space and easily attracts the attention of the viewer. 5. Unity - (also called Harmony) refers to the coherence of the elements of a work to the whole. IV. The Visual Arts (Painting, Sculpture and Architecture) A. Painting Early Medium in painting Encaustic – this is a mixture of pigment, wax(beeswax) and resin. Fresco – pigment mixed with water and applied to thin layers or either dry plaster or wet plaster. Tempera – a fast-drying medium which pigment mixed with glutinous material (usually egg yolk). Common mediums used in contemporary painting Oil paint – consists of pigment mixed with oil (linseed oil) as its binder. It dries slowly, but lasts long. Watercolor – consists of pigment combined with water and gum arabic. Colors are less luminous and transparent Acrylic – a quick-drying synthetic medium with emulsion as its binder. It is favored by a lot of artists because of its ease of use and its versatility. Styles/Movements in Western Art Realism – a naturalistic approach to subject matter. Impressionism – paintings are usually done outdoors. Brushstrokes are fast and colors used are light or pastel Expressionism – a style that centers on the expression of inner emotions. Colors used are more vibrant and artists use distortion. Abstract – non – representational or non-figurative imagery. It could also be a simplification of forms. Dada or Dadaism – an aggressive reaction against conventional art. Dadaists produced “art objects” by unconventional methods. Surrealism – an art movement where artists gathered inspiration from depths of the subconscious mind. Pop art – an art movement which is centered on, or inspired from familiar images of popular culture, such as advertisements, comics, and commercial products Social Realism – an art movement which portrays social and racial injustice and economic hardship, marked by its realistic deciption of social problems.

  • Chinese Influences in Philippine Culture
    Miclat FEATURE ARTICLE Tradition, Misconception, and Contribution: Chinese Influences in Philippine Culture Maningning C. Miclat ABSTRACT This paper discusses Chinese influence on Philippine arts and crafts, as shown in artifacts from the Sino-Philippine trade of pre-Hispanic times—the churches, religious icons, and paintings of the Spanish period— and in the contemporary art of the Chinese Filipinos. The Chinese traditional elements are given new meanings in a new environment, and it is these misconceptions and misinterpretations of the imported concepts that influence and enrich our culture. THE PRE-HISPANIC PAST The Sino-Philippine trade is believed to have begun in AD 982. The History of the Sung Dynasty or Sung Shi, published in 1343- 1374, confirmed that trade contact started during the 10th century. A 13th century Sung Mandarin official, Chau Ju-kua, wrote a geographical work entitled “A Description of Barbarous Peoples” or Chu Fan Chi, the first detailed account on Sino-Philippine trade. The 14th century account of Ma Tulin entitled “A General Investigation of Chinese Cultural Sources” or Wen Shiann Tung Kuo referred to the Philippines as Ma-i.1 The presence of trade is further proven by the Oriental ceramics from China, Vietnam, and Thailand that have been excavated from many places in the archipelago (Zaide: 1990). The Chinese came to the Philippines and traded with the natives peacefully, exchanging Chinese goods with hardwood, pearls, and turtle shells that were valued in China. Traditional Chinese motifs that symbolize imperial power are found in the trade ceramics found in the Philippines. These are the 100 Humanities Diliman (July-December 2000) 1:2, 100-8 Tradition, Misconception, and Contribution dragon and the phoenix; auspicious emblems of prosperity, long life, and wealth, such as fishes, pearls, and blossoms, like peonies; and the eight precious things or Pa Bao, namely, jewelry, coins, open lozenges with ribbons, solid lozenges with ribbons, musical stones, a pair of books, a pair of horns, and the Artemisia leaf.

  • SOURCES and INFLUENCES the Sources and Influences of The
    SOURCES AND INFLUENCES The sources and influences of the visual arts in the Philippines may be classified according to the three principal cultural traditions found in the country; the indigenous tradition, which is evidenced by the arts of the natives in the long period before colonization, the arts of the non-hispanized ethnic communities today, and the lowland folk arts which fuse ethnic and colonial aspects; the Spanish tradition, which is seen in the religious paintings and prints, academic paintings, landscapes, portraits, letras y figuras (letters and figures), still-lifes, and other art works done by unschooled and schooled Filipino artists during the Spanish period from 1565 to 1898; and the Euro-American tradition which came in via the Americanized educational system and media and which has been indigenized in the painting and sculptures done by Filipino artists from the 1930s to the present. The Ethnic Tradition Evidences of the ancient arts are the artifacts unearthed in archaeological excavations, which include earthenware, body ornaments and jewelry, and textile fragments. An important body of earthenware consists of burial jars. The ancient tradition of jar burial was diffused throughout the southern part of the Asian mainland, the Malay Archipelago, and the Southeast Asian region, including the Philippines. This practice was related to the tradition of “grave furniture” in which the dead were buried along with various articles of everyday use such as eating utensils and weapons, and in the case of the nobility, with servants and domestic animals. The Manunggul Jar with its lid bearing two rowers in a boat is related to the Southeast Asian belief that the dead ride “spirit boats” across a body of water to reach the other world.

There have been no studies which recount in detail how the conference and competition came to be, who it served and what it represented.3 Even less is known about how the MoMA exhibition came to be included in this unprecedented platform. However, its inclusion as a participant in the one-room survey exhibition complicates an indigenous art organisation’s attempt to present Southeast Asia as a cultural region within an exhibitionary frame.

    FRIS SON: The Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo Reviewing Current Art | 23 The Social Form of Art | 4 Patrick D. Flores Abstract and/or Figurative: A Wrong Choice | 9 SON: Assessing Alice G. Guillermo a Corpus | 115 Annotating Alice: A Biography from Her Bibliography | 16 Roberto G. Paulino Rendering Culture Political | 161 Timeline | 237 Acknowledgment | 241 Biographies | 242 PCAN | 243 Broadening the Public Sphere of Art | 191 FRISSON The Social Form of Art by Patrick D. Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.
