Ways of Presenting
the Artwork’s Subject
Realism
When objects are depicted as they appear
naturally, such artwork is said to be realistic.
Abstraction
Subject is not clearly
illustrated since the
appearance does not
totally copy any
object.
This requires in-depth
analysis.
Distortion
Objects are deformed
from its original shape
to give an emotional
effect.
Elongation
Artists present the subjects in an elongated manner.
Cubism
Expression of idea in the
form of cones, cylinders,
spheres, etc.
consisting of simple
geometric shapes.
Fauvism
The use of vivid colors which
results to vibrant and
decorative effect.
It gives effects of cheerfulness,
enjoyment, and consolation.
Charing Cross Bridge by Andre Derain
Futurism
an Italian art movement of the early twentieth
century that aimed to capture in art the
dynamism and energy of the modern world.
This is the art movement that doesn't
follow the traditions and principles in
art.
It features nonsense, irrational, rules-
breaking arts.
Dadaism LHOOQ by
Marcel Duchamp

SCULPTURE
Wood
Wood is the principal material of tribal sculptures.
Renato Habulan’s “Remains”
Metal
The metal most used for
sculpture is bronze.
Others are aluminum, gold,
silver, and copper.
This material is strong, hard,
and durable, with a tensile
strength that permits a “UPlift” by Ferdinand Cacnio
much greater freedom of
design than is possible in
either stone or wood
Glass
Glass is a hard
and transparent
or translucent
material though it
is fragile.
Frozen Wave by Impy Pilapil
Cement
Usually, cement is
used in sculpture by
applying this material
to a framework in
the initial shape of
sculpture.
Pidge Reyes, "Bee"
Stone
Stone is one of the
most used materials in
making sculpture since
ancient times.

SCULPTURAL
TECHNIQUES
Carving
Modeling
Casting
Assemblage
Welding
Carving
It is the process in which
the artist subtracts or cuts
away from solid material
to reach the desired form.
Modeling
It is the process of manipulating
soft materials to create a three-
dimensional form.
This requires soft substance that
can be easily and rapidly shaped
by the sculptor’s hands.
Casting
Casting – liquid material is
poured into a mold to create
a form
Mold – the form into which
the material is poured.
Any material that hardens
can be used for casting; i.e.
metal, slip, plaster, plastic
resins
Assemblage
Sculpture
A kind of sculpture
wherein the elements
present are just
assembled from objects
that are found in the
surroundings.
Welding
Process of joining together two
pieces of metal by fusion.
Intense heat is applied by an
instrument in two metals.
PHOTOGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPHY
Process of recording visible images by
light action on light-sensitive materials.
It is about framing a scene, composition
and lighting, and recording that
moment with the use of a camera.
Basic Techniques in
Photography
Leading Lines
Helpsthe viewer to identify the
focus easily
Usesframes, lines, diagonals, or
curves
Can be also used to look on
the direction of movement of
objects or focus
Symmetry
can create an eye-catching image especially if
the position of objects is not intended.
Blurring / Isolation
Blurring will highlight the
focus on the subject.
Thus, only the relevant
things will be noticed by
the viewer.
Framing
Here, you are using
the objects on the
corners of the
photograph.
View /
Perspective
This depends on how
the photographers
project his/ her subject.
Color combination /
Harmony
In this technique, you are
searching for a scene that
applies complementary colors.
Through this, you can create a
striking photograph.
Rule of Thirds
The image is
divided into
thirds vertically
and horizontally.
INSTALLATION ART
INSTALLATION
ART
Temporary constructions or assemblages
made of varied materials that are
structured within a space
It exploits its three-dimensional quality to
recreate new 'environments' which the
viewer can enter and engage in.
These reconstructed venues commonly
point to contemporary social, political, or
personal concerns.

made from a combination
of mediums or materials.
MIXED MEDIA ART
It can be a combination of photographs and painting, or
stones embedded on wood, for example, ink can be
combined with pastel, or layers of textile painted with
acrylic.
Collage
It is an artistic composition
of materials and objects
pasted over a flat surface Van Gogh in Arles
1997, Pacita Abad
Assemblage
Joining or fastening
to make a three-
dimensional object. Alfonso Ossorio’s

Found
Objects
objects that are
arranged slightly
then exhibited.
