 What I Need to Know

Why are artists unique from each other? It is because of the technique being used
or practiced by the artist. Technique is the individual signature that makes each
artist different or identifiable from other artists.
Medium and technique in contemporary art have become more and more
integrated, such that the works have crossed boundaries between art and science,
and between mediums and techniques. The works are also using contemporary
mediums and techniques based on digital and electronic technology, as well as
reformulated traditional methods.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Techniques and Performance Practices applied to Contemporary
Art

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. research on techniques and performance practices applied to contemporary
art;
2. identify the different techniques used in contemporary art.

The Importance of Technique

7/11/2017 9:31:48 AM by Mark Brockman
This post is by guest author, Mark Brockman. This article has been edited and
published with the author's permission.

The Pacific coast of Washington State, a cold grey morning, just ripe for pirates.

Technique, style, your look, whatever you want to call it is as individual as

your signature. Yes your paintings might look a bit like some other artist,
and so long as it's not contrived, that's OK. We all strive for originality but
with so many artists out there it would be hard for one artist's work to not,
somewhere in the world, have their work resemble another artist's work.

But just how important is Technique and how does an artist go about
creating their technique?

I believe Technique, the artist's style, is important. It lets viewers know that
(insert artist's name here) painted that painting. It helps us artists to have
a cohesive body of work. That doesn't mean though that your technique
must stay the same your whole life. As we age, we grow, we change, so
why shouldn't our work as well. Some artists have various techniques at
the same time, this is generally looked down upon by galleries and
collectors, but then maybe they lack imagination. I say an artist should
paint what and how they paint anyway they want at any given time. My
paintings often look a bit different from each other, not because of my
using different techniques but rather because I use different surfaces
which my pastels and watercolors are painted on and that can give
paintings a different look as you often have to handle a medium a bit
different on different surfaces. Plus it's a given that an

oil painting would look different then a watercolor.

So how does one find or create their technique? You don't. You already
have it, again, it's like your signature. You don't need to find the technique,
you need to recognize your style and then nurture it. I spent years looking
for my technique, years. Yes I learned a lot doing so as I tried various ways
of handling the many different media I have worked in. I tried different
schools of art, realism, Impressionism, abstract Impressionism,
expressionistic representationalism (say that five times fast) and even
abstraction. I studied hundreds of artists trying to paint like my favorite
artist of the week. Again I learned a great deal. What I learned most
though, what was most important, was that I am who I am and I paint as I
paint.

Okay, now comes the hard part, recognizing what is your technique. In this
I can only speak for myself and how I finally realized my way of painting,
and I am sure there are thousands, perhaps millions of ways to do so.
There were times I would do a painting and there would be passages that
seemed to beautiful for me to have painted them. No way I could have
painted that even if I tried. But I did! I didn't plan those passages, they just
sort of happened. They were what many artists call 'happy accidents' but
maybe they are not accidents at all but rather my technique trying to come
out. When I realized that these accidents were not accidents I began to
build on them, nurture them, collect them, they became my 'look'.
Another aspect of my painting technique is lack of thought. Yes, you read
that correctly. You see when I think or analyze my painting as I paint I
always screw the painting up, it's a given.
But when I paint without analyzing, paint instinctually, I will have, not
always, more success. I believe my hand and gut know more of what to do
than my brain, so I let them have at it.

Technique, finding it or recognizing it can be difficult and frustrating. It's

not unlike just trying to learn to create in whatever medium you choose.
To learn how to handle a particular medium takes practice, many hours of
trying. So finding and developing your technique requires practice too.
One needs to open their mind (or shut it off as I do), open their heart, their
emotions, to feel what is right, to let intuition take over, to listen to their
gut, let your hand(s) do the work, technique will come.

Guide Questions:

1. In your own words, define technique.

TECHNIQUES AND
Lesson PERFORMANCE PRACTICES
1 APPLIED
TO CONTEMPORARY ART

What is Technique?
Technique is the manner in which artist use and manipulate materials to achieve
the desired formal effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning,
according to his or her personal style (modern, Neoclassic, etc.)

The distinctive character or nature of the medium determines the technique. For
example, stone is chiseled, wood is carved; clay is modeled and shaped, metal is
cast, and thread is woven.

There are some places in the Philippines that became famous because of the
unusual or extraordinary products that they make. These products become their
way for the people to know about their places. These people used traditional
technique in creating a particular art that makes them famous.

Traditional techniques used by the Filipinos even from the past years are depicted
in our painting, sculpture, dance, architecture, music, and even textile. It only
proves that Filipinos like any other people in the world can be very proud of our
Philippine arts

Traditional Techniques Used in Philippine Arts

Wood Carving – a technique encompassing any form of working wood with a tool
into some sort of aesthetic object.

Downloaded by Jeanette Rios

 Molding – a technique of shaping
liquid or pliable material such as clay. Traditional pottery making in the Philippines
involves the method of molding. Pottery making in the Philippines is one of the
longest traditions in Philippine art.

Incised designs also appeared in the posts of Masbate. Among the finest of early Philippine pottery
designs are footed dishes that were decorated with geometric cut-outs, molding, cording or finger
impressions, most of these were made in Batangas. Pottery traditions continued to develop in certain
locals, such as Burnay, unglazed clay pottery of Vigan.

Fabric Weaving - Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct

sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.
Textile hand-weaving is one of the most attractive and interesting traditional crafts
of the Philippines, imbued with romanticism and laden with cultural significance

Downloaded by Jeanette Rios

The Ilocano still practice hand-weaving using the pedal loom. Their materials are
cotton and natural dyes, although now they use store-bought threads and
synthetic dyes. They know several weaving techniques and designs, passed down
to many generations.

“Abel” or “inabel” is a fabric customarily made of cotton fiber turned into spools of
beeswax-brushed yarn & woven in a handloom
Textiles in Mindanao are predominantly handwoven from abaca (musa textilis).
Among the Moslems of Mindanao, the Magindanaon, Maranaw and Yakan continue
the tradition of cotton and silk weaving.

T’nalak is a sacred cloth woven by the T'boli people in communities around Lake
Sebu, Mindanao island.
Basketry Technique - There are four different types of basketry methods:
coiling, plaiting, wickering, and twining. Some of the terms that are specific to
basket weaving include loops, twining, ribs, and spokes. The common raw
materials used in making baskets are rattan, abaca, nito, tikog, buri, bamboo,
pandan, coconut leaves and sticks, palm leaves, and beeswax. There are several
baskets that use combined raw materials.

technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each
other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.
