    What is Medium?
     It is defined as the material, or the
    substance out of which a work is made.

     Through these materials, the artists


    express and communicate feelings and
    ideas.
    The medium also defines the
    nature of the art form as follows:
     The sculptor uses metal, wood, stone, clay,
    and glass. Sculptures fall within the category
    of “three-dimensional” arts because they
    occupy space and have volume. Pottery is a
    form of sculpture.
     The architect uses wood, bamboo, bricks,
    stone, concrete and various building
    materials.
     The painter uses pigments (e.g., watercolor,
    oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink, etc.)
    on a usually flat ground (wood, canvas,
    paper, stone wall such as in cave paintings).
    The medium also defines the
    nature of the art form as follows:
     The printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a
    surface (wood, metal plates, or silk screen) that is in
    keeping with a duplicating or reproducing process.
    Prints and paintings are further classified as “two-
    dimensional” arts, because they include the surface
    or ground on which coloring substances are applied.
     The musician uses sound and instruments (including
    the human voice).
     The dancer uses the body and its movements.
     The theatre artist integrates all the arts and uses
    the stage, production design ,performance elements,
    and script to enable the visual, musical, dance and
    other aspects to come together as a whole work.
    The medium also defines the
    nature of the art form as follows:
     The photographer and filmmaker use the
    camera to record the outside world.
     The filmmaker uses the cinematographic
    camera to record and put together production
    design, sound engineering, performance, and
    screenplay.
     The writer of a novel, poetry, nonfiction and
    fiction uses words.
     The designer, the performance artist,
    and the installation artist combine use of
    the range of materials above.
    Art Classification based on
    Medium

     Musical Arts- have perceptible rhythm and


    can be sung or danced to), and dance that is
    accompanied by music
     Practical Arts- have immediate use for
    everyday and business life such as design,
    architecture, and furniture.
     Environmental Arts- occupy space and
    change in its meaning and function
    depending on their categories including
    architecture, sculpture, and site-specific
    works such as installations and public art
    Art Classification based on
    Medium
     Pictorial Works- include painting,
    drawing, graphics, and stage and
    production design.
     Dramatic Works- these are staged and
    performed; they include drama,
    performance art, or music and dance.
     Narrative Works- they are based from
    stories; they include drama, novel, fiction,
    etc.
    What is Technique?
     It is the manner in which artists use and
    manipulate materials to achieve the
    desired formal effect, and communicate
    the desired concept, or meaning,
    according to his or her personal style.
    How is Art experienced and
    consumed?
     Art is considered an “artifact,” when it is
    directly experienced and perceived.
     It can be spatial and static or unmoving
    (e.g., a painting or building, or a novel) or
    time-based and in motion (e.g., a live
    theater production, mobile sculpture).
     “Recorded” or documented artwork-
    When we experience a work indirectly or
    through a medium like film or video.
    Time-based Artifact/Performance
     We receive or perceive it live or directly in
    real time
    Examples: live plays, live performance art,
    and installation

     It is recorded and we watch it in real time


    but not at the site of production
    Examples: documented play, film, exhibit, or
    an ad generally watched through an electronic
    medium
