Faq what is medium ?
◦ Medium is defined as the material, or the substance out of which a work is made.
Though these materials, the artist 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.
◦ Other examples are nudes or figures such as Guillermo Tolentino’s oblation, ritual
objects such as bulul wood carvings in the Cordillera , or the santos or carving of saints
in Christian Churches.
◦ The architect uses wood, bamboo, 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 printmaker uses ink printed or transferred on a surface ,wood, metal plates, or
silk screen) that keeping with a duplicating or reproducing process.
◦ The musician uses the body and it’s movements.
◦ The theater artist integrates all the arts and uses the stage, production design,
performance elements, and script to enable to visual, musical, dance and other aspect
to come together as a whole work.
◦ 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.
◦ 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.
◦ Pictorial works include painting, drawing, graphics, and stage and production
design ( lighting, dress, props, and set ).
◦ If they are based on stories, and art forms are classified as narrative and they
include drama, novel, fiction, nonfiction, music, and dance.
FAQ WHAT IS TECHNIQUE ?
◦ Technique is the manner in which artists use and manipulate materials to
achieve the desired formal effect, and communicate.
◦ FAQ 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 (a painting or building, or a novel) or
time-based and in motion ( a live theater production, mobile sculpture).
◦ For example, the mural Filipino
Struggles Through History, (1963)
by National Artist Carlos Francisco
depicts Andres Bonifacio leading the
Revolution.
◦ In another element of an exhibition called Dime a Dozen, 2007 at the Lopez
Museum, monitors were provided so that visitors could interact with Rizal through
an account.
◦ FAQ how have contemporary artist expanded the range of medium and techniques
they utilize?
◦ As explained in lesson 1 of the previous unit contemporary, artist are producing
artworks that are more process-based, site-specific, interactive, and collaborative.
◦ For example, Mark Salvatus‘ Secret Garden 2 2010 is created purposefully for a
small room at the Vargas Museum.
◦ In Untitled (Mirrors) by Maria Taniguchi- an
artist born in Dumaguete and now living and
practicing in Manila, she uses the traditional
medium of acrylic on canvas and the traditional
modern style of abstraction, one of the
hallmarks of 20th Century Modern Art.
◦ The painting and viewing process stresses the
concept and the performance of painting as
meditation. The work can then be best
described as a Conceptual performance that is
site-specific sculptural, and environmental.
This work is part of an installation- echo
studies, 2011 at the Vargas Museum.
◦ Felix Bacolor’s Waiting, 2012 transformed an
independent space in the Museum of Contemporary
Art and Design to a simulacrum (a” fake” real, a
simulation that is not actually “real” but simulated or
Copied) of a terminal waiting room, complete with
metallic, immorable chairs, and digital clocks that
torturously register the passing of time.
◦ The exhibition Anonymous Animals. 2013 held in
Mariyah Gallery in Dumaguete City consisted of a
Conceptual Performance piece by Dumaguete out of
ferracotta sourced from outlying areas.
The artist Cristina, Taniguchi, Michael Teves, Danilo Sllessta,
Mark Valenzuela, and Benjie Ranada, provided the animals they
“excavated” (Which they actually made) with matching scientific
data including the animals scientific and common names,
taxonomy, morphology, history etc. The artist exhibited the
terracotta animals as specimens, with documentation from an
“embedded journalist”. The photographer Hershey Ben Casero
the curator- Flaudette May Datuin – invented stories about the
artist, and wrote the fiction in the form of a diary or notes from
the field.
◦ Aside from being works in an actual exhibition the project is
also a Performance and Conceptual piece – which is inspired
by the work of Joan Font Cuberta and Pere Formiguera and
their book fauna (1999, Arte Y Proyektos editorials , SL,
Seville, Spain). However, while Fauna, the inspiration is an
book form, Anonymous virtually http://anonymous
