What is art?
1. Art is from the Latin word ars, meaning “ability or skill” *J.V. Estolas
2. Art is taken from Italian word artis, means craftsmanship, skill,
mastery of form, inventiveness and the association that exists
between form & ideas, between materials & technique. *A. Tan
3. Art is concerned with the communication of certain ideas and
feelings by means of medium, color, sound, sound, bronze, marble,
words and film. *C. Sanchez
4. Art is an attitude of spirit and state of mind-one which demands
for its own satisfaction and fulfilling, a shaping of matter to new and
more significant form. *John Dewey

Those arts that do not have subjects are called non- representational or non-
objective arts. Non- representational or non- objective arts are those that
have no resemblance to any real subject. They do not represent anything and
they are what they are. They rather appear directly to the senses primarily
because of the satisfying organization of their elements.
Examples:
Abstract art like: Dadaism and Cubism

The artist has the freedom to choose the subject. This will depend to
a certain extent on how he feels and thinks about the environment he lives
in. his choice of the subject will involve self-interest which will produce
satisfying results considering the availability of the medium to be used, time
in which he lives and the patronage he gets.

The works of art, particularly visual art like landscape, seascape and
cityscapes have been fascinated with beauty of their physical environment.
The landscapes and seascapes are the favorite subjects of Chinese, Japanese
and Filipino painters. They would observe nature, meditate lengthily on its
beautiful and restful mood, apply pigments on the canvass in varying the
texture and colors.

Highlights: The movement. Modern abstract art was born early in the 20th
century. It was completely radical for its day. Artists began to create
simplified objections with little or no reference to the “real” world.
The father. The first artist to create abstract art as we know it will always
remain a mystery but Wassily Kandinsky is often credited by historians as he
created paintings of floating, norepresentational forms as early as 1912. His
work brought abstraction to America during the Armory Show in 1913.
The present. Abstract art now lives in the art world in many forms. It is two-
and three-dimensional. It can be vast or small. Abstract art can also be made
with many materials and on many surfaces. It can be used in concert with
representational art or completely abstract. Artists creating it often focus on
other visual qualities like color, form, texture, scale and more in their non-
objective work.

Functions of Art
4 Functions of Art
1. Fine/Aesthetic Function - (major arts) through art, man becomes
conscious of the beauty of nature. He benefited from his own work and from
those done by fellowmen he learns to love, and persevere them for his
enjoyment and appreciation.
Example: The Eiffel tower

4. Social Function- are those that go beyond personal intrinsic value to art's
social benefits. Individuals and their society are dynamically
related. Art communicates. Most often it is constructed with the intention of
sharing responses to and opinions about life with others. Man learns to love and
help each other.

UNIT 2 -Week (6-10)
Introduction
A medium refers to the materials that are used to create a work of art.
The plural of medium is media. Some of the most common media are oil
paints (paints that use oil to hold pigments together), tempera (pigments
held together with egg yolk), marble (soft, white stone), and bronze (a metal
used to cast sculptures)

b. Auditory Arts are those mediums can be heard and which are expressed
in time. These are music and literature. The combined arts are those
mediums can be both seen and heard, and which exist in both time and
space. These include dance, opera, drama and film. Along with the music,
these are also known as performing arts, an art form which depicts a
significant event and represented before an audience. All arts convey
meaning and these maybe enjoyed through either visual or auditory or both.
c. Technique is the manner in which the artist controls his medium to achieve
the desired effect. It is the ability which he fulfils the technical requirements
of his particularwork of art. It has something to do with the way he
manipulates his mediums to express his idea in the artwork.
The artist think; feels and give shape to his vision in terms of his
medium. When the artist chooses his particular medium, he believes that his
choice can best express the idea he wants to convey. At times, the artist
employs more than one medium to give meaning to his creative production.
Also, he must love, respect, and understand his medium to make it easier for
him to expand his knowledge and improve his skill in the chosen area.
Artists differ from one another in technique even they used the same
medium. A musician’s technique is his ability to make the music sound the
way he wants it.
Technique differs in the various arts. An artist technique in one
medium will be quite different from his technique to another. A painter
might have fine technique in water color but poor one in oil. The distinction
between an art and craft may be made on the basis of the technique used.
For an artist, technique is not the end but the means, the craftsman,
technique is the end. The making of a piece of sculpture for example, is not
the same as the making of a chair. While both require technique, knowledge
and competence, creativity comes into play in the work of sculptor.
Painting
Painting is the art of creating meaningful effects on a flat surface by
the use of pigments. These mediums are applied to wet plaster, canvas,
wood or paper.
Watercolor

Tempera
Tempera paints are mineral pigments mixed with egg yolk or egg white
and ore. This egg-based blend binds the pigments to the surface. Tempera is
characterized by its film-forming properties and rapid drying rate.
The great Byzantine tradition of tempera painting was developed in
Italy in the 13th and 14th centuries by Duccio di Buoninsegna and Giotto. It
was first used in 12th-century Europe, and the period's artists cultivated
methods for improving both formulas and artistic techniques. Used for
medieval panel paintings, tempera evolved with the addition of egg yolks to
the formula.

Pastel
A pastel consists of pure powdered pigment and binder in a stick
dried paste ground with chalk and compounded with gum and water. It's
basically the same pigment that is used in all art mediums. In appearance,
it's sort of a cross between a stick of chalk and a crayon. They are held in
the same way that you would hold a pencil, crayon or paint brush. Pastels
come in 4 forms: hard pastels, soft pastels, pastel pencils, and oil pastels.
Encaustic
Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using
heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid or paste is
then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other
materials are often used.

Oil
Oil paint is form of a slow-drying paint that consists of particles of
pigment suspended in a drying oil that forms a tough, coloured film on
exposure to air. painting in oil colours, a medium consisting of pigments
suspended in drying oils. The outstanding facility with which fusion of tones

During the 15th century, Jan van Eyck, a famous Belgian painter developed
oil painting by mixing linseed oil and oil from nuts with diverse colors.
Oil painting, if it has been varnished after 6 months or so. The coat of varnish
will darken, but not the paint, under, then, the varnish can be removed by a
professional and the painting can be touched up and revarnished. An oil
painting on cotton canvas will last fifty year or so, then it will rot.
What was the first oil painting? The earliest discovered oil paintings date
back to approx. 650AD in Afghanistan. These murals were presumably
created by buddhist artists traveling along the silk road. These early oil works
display a wide range of pigments and binders, and even included the use of
a final varnish layer.

Acrylic
Acrylic is a synthetic, quick
drying paint that can be used in thick, heavy layers or thin washes on most
surfaces. Additives can be used to provide matt or gloss finishes.
23
Stained Glass
Stained glass, in the arts, the coloured glass used for making
decorative windows and other objects through which light passes. ...
Nevertheless, the term stained glass has come to refer primarily to
the glass employed in making ornamental or pictorial windows
Tapestry
Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom.
Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in
the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft
threads may be visible
Purpose: the woven decorative fabric, the design of which is built up in the
course of weaving. Broadly, the name has been used for almost any heavy
material, hand woven, machine woven, or even embroidered, used to cover
furniture, walls, or floors or for the decoration of clothing.
Drawing

They're the ability to: recognize edges, lines, and angles; to reckon
proportion and perspective; deciphering shadow, highlights, and gradations
of tone; and lastly, the ability to unconsciously drawstring them all together

Ink- a liquid or paste that contain pigments or dyes and is used to color a
surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is used for drawing or
writing with a pen, brush, or quill. Thicker inks, in paste form, are used
extensively in letterpress and lithographic
Sculpture- Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three
dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes
originally used carving and modelling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and
other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete
freedom of materials and process.
Jade- a hard, typically green stone used for ornaments and implements and
consisting of the minerals jadeite or nephrite.
Ivory - a hard creamy-white substance composing the main part of the tusks
of an elephant, walrus, or narwhal, often (especially formerly) used to make
ornaments and other articles.
Metals a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and
ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g., iron, gold, silver,
copper, and aluminum, and alloys such as brass and steel).
Brass- Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied
to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties. It is a substitutional
alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same
crystal structure.
Gold- a yellow precious metal, the chemical element of atomic number 79,
used especially in jewelry and decoration and to guarantee the value of
currencies.
Plaster - a soft mixture of lime with sand or cement and water for spreading
on walls, ceilings, or other structures to form a smooth hard surface when
dried.
27
Wood
Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and
roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material – a natural
composite of cellulose fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a
matrix of lignin that resists compression.
Architecture
Architecture is defined as the art and science of designing buildings
and structures. A wider definition would include within this scope the design
of any built environment, structure or object, from town planning, urban
design, and landscape architecture to furniture and objects
a. Texture
b. Tonal quality
c. Color
3. Weakness of the material
a. Rotting
b. Rust due to moisture
c. Susceptibility to infection by wood-boring weevils, termites and
other pests
d. Discolorization
e. Solar radiation
f. Fungus growth
4. Longevity of the material- lifespan of the material
a. 10 years
b. 20 years
c. Half century (50 years)
d. More than a century
5. Other inherent properties
a. Weight
b. Water resistance
c. Heat resistance
d. Auditory values
e. Economy
1. Stone – the oldest and most permanent building material. For stronger
structures ferro concrete is used. It is reinforced with steel.
a. Limestone- Useful in walls and exterior parts of the building and lends
very well to carving.
b. Granite- the hardest and the most durable type of stones and is
adaptable for monumental work.
c. Marble- capable of taking polish.
Color: Marble is usually a light-colored rock.
Acid Reaction: Being composed of calcium carbonate, marble will
react in contact with many acids, neutralizing the acid.
Hardness: Being composed of calcite, marble has a hardness of
three on the Mohs hardness scale.
2. Wood is not permanent material but with proper care it can last for
century. It is common building material before 90s. it can be destroyed by
moisture, insects and fire when unprotected. A new material, plywood is
a chin chips and readily available.
3. Metals. the common metal used in architecture are the bronze, iron, copper, nickel-
steel, aluminium and silver
4. Concrete Materials it is more favourable because of their availability, durability and
flexibility. It has the strength and a texture capable of artistic quality of building.
These materials are smooth, hard, permanent, light, transparent and durable.
5. Plastics can be sowed, cut, bent, drilled and treaded. They are capable of resisting
water, acid, fire, or wear.
Indigenous materials
These materials can be found in the locality and widely used in architechture.
Some of these materials are the following:
1. Sawali. It came from the outer covering of bamboo poles. It is woven into mats
and ideal for cement backing.
2. Coco coir. This is by-product of coconut used to minimize the use of cement and
as sand which panels for insulation.
3. Baggase. This is sugarcane waste used for insulation or cement backing
4. Abaca. This is a fiber materials from leafstalk of banana plant mostly found in Bicol
region.
5. Bamboo. It has the low degree of elasticity, low concrete adhesion and wide
variable moisture content. It is mostly found in Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela.
6. Palm frond stems. Used for non-structural panel walls, screens and bases of
houses. Despite of this, it is susceptible for termites and be replaced every 4 to 5
years.
30
7. Mud bricks. This material is brittle, has less strength and cannot stand up well to
tension. However, it is the choice of building materials in places with hot, dry
climates due to its low thermal conductibility.

Literature
The medium of literature is a language. Its is one way of
expressing one’s feelings, vision and thoughts in words or languages
understood by the writers. It can be transmitted through written or oral
form. Mostly, this is written in languages like French, Chinese, Italian, german
or Russian by which commonly translated into English to facilitate wider
reach distribution. But, no translation is ever more than an approximation of
the original.
Types of genres
4 types:
Novel: is more extended work which may have more characters in a more
complicated situation shown through several chapters.
Elements of a short story. This includes plot, setting, characterization, style,
point of view and substance.
Plot. The skeletal system of the story. It consists of events arrange into a
meaningful sequence.
Setting. Time and place of the action. It create the mood and atmosphere of
a story.
Characterization. Characters cause the events in the plot or incidents.
34
Point of view. How the story is narrated, the vantage point from which the
characters, actions and events are seen.
1. The first person point of view- uses I, who narrates the events
and describes the characters.
2. The objective point of view. Let the reader watch tha events as
they unfold on stage
3. The omniscient point of view gives the readers a chance to know
the hidden thoughts, unexpressed feelings and reaction of the
characters.

UNIT 2 -Week (11-15)
Introduction
Traditional way of looking at art, namely the visual arts, suggests that
there are five basic elements of an artwork – line, shape, color, texture, and
space. You might find form singled out as a separate category, defined as a
three-dimensional alternative to shape. On the other hand, "Visual or
performing arts ability" means ability in areas such as drawing, painting,
sculpting, music, dance, drama.
Unlocking of Difficulties
To attend the following intended learning outcomes for the first unit
of the course, you need to fully understand the following essential
knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Key Terms
Crooked - not straight; bending; curved: a crooked path. askew; awry: The
picture on the wall seems to be crooked. deformed: a man with a crooked
back. not straightforward; dishonest. bent and often raised or moved to one
side, as a finger or neck.
Chiaroscuro- Chiaroscuro, in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light
and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a
technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of
light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects
and figures.

Horizontal lines
Horizontal line is one which runs from left to right across the page. It comes
from the word 'horizon', in the sense that horizontal lines are parallel to the
horizon. The horizon is horizontal. Its cousin is the vertical line which runs up
and down the page.

Vertical lines
Vertical line is one the goes straight up and down, parallel to the y-axis of
the coordinate plane. All points on the line will have the same x-coordinate.
In the figure above, drag either point and note that the line is vertical when
they both have the same x-coordinate. A vertical line has no slope
Diagonal lines
Diagonal position are unstable in relation to gravity, being neither vertical
nor horizontal, they are either about to fall, or are already in motion, as is
certainly the case for this group of dancers.
Curved lines
Soft, shallow curves suggest comfort, safety, familiarity, relaxation. They
recall the curves of the human body, and therefore have a pleasing, sensual
quality.
Crooked or jagged lines

LET’S BEGIN!
UNIT 2 -Week (16-20) UNIT 4: Art and History Development Baroque Art
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
Introduction
Baroque art and architecture, the visual arts and building design and
construction produced during the era in the history of Western art that
roughly coincides with the 17th century. The earliest manifestations, which
occurred in Italy, date from the latter decades of the 16th century, while in
some regions, notably Germany and colonial South America, certain
culminating achievements of Baroque did not occur until the 18th century.
The work that distinguishes the Baroque period is stylistically complex, even
contradictory. In general, however, the desire to evoke emotional states by
appealing to the senses, often in dramatic ways, underlies its
manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the
Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement,
tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between
the various arts.
Unlocking of Difficulties
