LESSON
2. Performing Arts
• Music mediums can either be vocal or instrumental. Vocal music is performed
by one or more singers through their voice, while instrumental music is when
musicians create music with instruments. Musical instruments have 5 major
kinds: wind (e.g. flute, clarinet, harmonica), brass (e.g. trumpet, trombone,
French horn), percussion (e.g. triangle, xylophone, drums), string (e.g. harp,
guitar, violin), and electronic (e.g. piano keyboards, synthesizers, rhythm
machines).
Popular programs and websites where music is accessible are YouTube,
Spotify, and SoundCloud.
• In dance, the human body is the main medium used in creating art. Not only
that, but the use and relationship of dance with sound, movement, and space
are also used as mediums.
• Theater productions use different mediums, including costumes, makeup,
lighting, space, set, props, actions, and dialogue.
3. The mediums used in Literary Arts are words and language. Due to the rising
popularity of electronic literature, literary works, like short stories and novels, are
now getting posted in websites such as Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, and even
Twitter.
Furthermore, audio books are also getting popular because of services like Audible
and Google Audiobooks.
Lastly, academic and professional texts are also shared in digital libraries such as
Scribd, Academia, Research Gate, Google Scholar, and LinkedIn.
4. Media Arts utilize media technologies, such as televisions, radio, and both
computer hardware and software, to create and produce art.
• Filmmaking, just like the ones mentioned in photography, makes use of
cameras, however, digital file formats of films are different from images, such
as AVI, WMV, MP4, MKV, FLV, and SWF.
There are a lot of processes done in producing films, hence a variety of
computer programs are used. In writing a screenplay, the popular programs
are Final Draft and StudioBinder. In editing and rendering, Final Cut Pro for
Apple products and Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects for Windows PCs
are popular, but due to the convenience and improvements in the capabilities
of mobile devices, KineMaster and FilmoraGo are among the popular choices.
• In digital painting, graphic tablets with computer programs are used by
artists. Graphic tablets have different kinds, such as digitizer pen tablets,
monitor tablets, tablet PCs, and mobile tablets (iPad, Android tablets). Popular
programs in computers include Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Corel
Painter, and Clip Studio Paint, then for mobile, ProCreate, Ibis Paint, and
Adobe Illustrator Draw.
• In traditional animation, artists use pencils, papers, and tracing papers.
However, nowadays, artists have transitioned to graphic tablets, just like in
digital painting. Popular animation programs include Adobe Flash, Adobe
After Effects, Autodesk Maya, and even Microsoft PowerPoint.
