Materials & Techniques in Art
Production
Artmaking is the center of production
Art materials and techniques shape the
artwork’s aesthetic and conceptual outcomes.
Materials such as oil, charcoal, stones, etc.
have evolved to mixed media, digital media,
etc.
Artistic Intent vs
Viewer Interpretation
Artists create art with ideas, themes,
messages, and purposes.
Viewers have a different perspectives of
the artist’s artworks.
Artworks then become potential spaces
of debates and dialogues, especially for
public viewes.
The Role of Experimentation
and Innovation
Innovation is inherent in the practice of
artmaking.
Artists have to defy the traditions by trying
new techniques (abstraction, cubism, etc.) or
materials (digital and mixed media).
The Role of Experimentation
and Innovation
Experimentation is not just about inventions.
Experimentation entails a process
of conceiving new alternatives for
working outside the norms of art
and working with different
audiences.
