■ On the basis of medium, the arts are primarily classified as:Visual andAuditory
■ The artist thinks feels and gives shape to his vision in terms of his mediums. When an artist chooses his medium, he believes that this can best express the idea he wants t convey.

■ Watercolor- as a medium is difficult to handle because it is difficult to produce warm and rich tones.While changes may be made once the paint has been applied such changes normally tend to make the color less luminous.This defect however are rendered by watercolor artists through some techniques. The Mediums ofVisual Arts
■ Fresco- This is the painting on a moist plaster surface with colors ground in water or a limewater mixture. The colors dry into plaster, and the picture becomes a part of the wall. Fresco must be done quickly because it is an exacting medium
■ Tempera- paints are mineral pigments mixed with egg yolk or egg white and ore. They are often used as a binder due to its film forming properties and rapid drying rate.
Italian Renaissance Art - Tempera Painting
■ Pastel-This is a stick of dried paste mage of pigments ground with chalk and compounded with gum water. Its colors are luminous, and it is a very flexible medium. Some artists use a fixing medium or a protecting surface such a glass, but when the chalk rubs, the picture loses some of its brilliance.
■ Encaustic-This is one of the early mediums used by the Egyptians for the painted portrait on mummy cases.This is done by painting with wax colors fixed with heat. Painting with wax produces luster and radiance in the subject making them appear at their best in portraits.
■ Oil- painting is one of the most expensive art activities today because of the prohibitive cost of materials. In oil painting, pigments are mixed with linseed oil and applied to the canvas. One good quality of oil paint as a medium is its flexibility. The artist may use brush, palette knife or even his bare hands when applying paint in his canvass.
■ Acrylic- This medium is used popularly by contemporary painters because of the transparency and quick drying characteristics of water color and the flexibility of oil combined. This synthetic paint is mixed with acrylic emulsion as binder for coating the surface of the artwork.
■ Mosaic- art is a picture or decoration made of small pieces of inlaid colored stones or glass called “tesserae” which most often are cut in into squares glued on a surface with plaster or cement. Mosaic is usually classified as painting. Although the medium used is not strictly pigment.
■ StainedGlass- as an artwork is common in GothicCathedrals and churches.This is made by combining many small pieces of colored glass which are held together by bands of lead.
■ Tapestry –This is a fabric consisting of a warp upon which colored threads are woven by hand to produce a design, often pictorial and for wall hangings and furniture covering. During the middle Ages, they were hung on the walls of palaces and in Cathedrals on festive occasions to provide warmth.
■ Drawing- is usually done on paper, using pencil pen and ink, or charcoal. It is the most fundamental of all skills necessary in the arts
■ Drawing can be done with different kinds of mediums and the most common is pencil which comes in different degrees of hardness or softness, with the pencil lead (graphite) depending on the kind of drawing the artists will undertake. For line work, hard pencil lead is applied. Ink, one of the oldest mediums still in use, offers a great variety of qualities, depending on the tools and techniques used in applying the ink on the surface.
■ Bistre- is a brown pigment extracted from the soot of wood, and often used in pen and wash drawings. ■ Crayons- are pigments bound by wax and compressed into painted sticks used for drawing especially among children in the elementary grade.They adhere better on paper surface.
■ Charcoal-These are carbonaceous materials obtained by heating wood or other organic substances in the absence of air.Charcoal is used in representing broad masses of light and shadow. ■ Silverpoint- In this medium, the artist has technique of drawing with a silver stylus on specially prepared paper to produce a thin grayish line that was popular during the Renaissance period.
■ Print making- a print is anything printed on a surface that is a direct result from a duplicating process. Ordinarily, the painting or graphic image, is done in black ink on white paper and becomes the artist’s plate.
Five MajorTypes of Prints ■ 1)Woodcut -As the name implies, this is made from a piece of wood.The design stands as a relief, the remaining surface of the block being cut away.A woodblock prints just as do the letters of a typewriter.The lines of the design are wood, so they are very f
■ 2) Engraving-This is the art of forming designs by cutting, corrosion by acids. In engraving, the lines of the designs are cut into a metal plate with ink and transferred from the plate to the paper.The lines of an engraving are cut by hand with an instrument called burin, a steel tool with an oblique point and rounded handle for carving stone and engraving metal.
■ 3) Intaglio Is a printing process in which the design or the text is engraved into the surface of the place and the ink is transferred to paper from the groover.The design is engraved or etched into a metal plate.
■ 4)Stencil Printing Is a very common art activity done by high school students these days as a part of their practical arts courses. It is a process which involves the cutting of the design on special paper cardboard or metal sheet in such a way that when ink is rubbed over it, the design is reproduced on the surface
■ 5) Relief Involves the cutting away from a block of wood or linoleum the parts of the design that the artist wants to be seen. Leaving the portion of a design to stand out wants to be seen, leaving the portion of a design to stand out on a block or on the linoleum.
■ Artist- Leonardo Davinci ■ Medium-Oil Paint
■ Technique- porated."Creating imperceptible transitions between light and shade, and sometimes between colors, he blended everything "without borders, in the manner of smoke," his brush strokes so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye.
■ Curation- Mona Lisa, also called Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, Italian La Gioconda, or French La Joconde, oil painting on a poplar wood panel by Leonardo daVinci, probably the world’s most famous painting. It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519, when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum, in Paris, where it remained an object of pilgrimage in the 21st century.The sitter’s mysterious smile and her unproven identity have made the painting a source of ongoing investigation and fascination.
