TRANSCRIPT
Geographical Factorsplaces where artists stay influence their work
For instance:•Marble sculptures in Romblon because of the rich supply of marble.
Historical Factorshistorical events exert a great influence on the artist
For instance:• Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere
Social FactorsFor instance:• English writer Ben Jonson composed “Songs to Celia”• An Italian sonneteer named Francesco Petrarch wrote works for Laura
FRANCESCO PETRARCH
Ideation Factorsideas coming from various people that influence artists
For instance:•Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis, said that the human body is the most beautiful thing to present in an art. This soon gave birth to nudism.
SIGMUND FREUD
Psychological Factorsworks produced by artists are affected by their psychological make-up or framework
For instance:• “The Sick Child” by Edward Munch (right) – childhood experience of contracting an illness after the loss of a loved one.
• “The Filipino is Worth Dying for” by Sen. Benigno Aquino, Jr. – written when he was still a deportee in the U.S.
Technical Factorsusing different techniques, brushes and strokes
HARMONY
THE MILKMAID BY VERMEER
For instance: Adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar shapes etc.
PRINCIPLES OF ARTIt is the visually satisfying effect of
combining similar, related elements.
BALANCEA feeling of equality in weight, attention, or
attraction of the various visual elements within the pictorial field as a means of
accomplishing organic unity.
NO BALANCE BY BARMALISIRTB
FORMALBALANCE
INFORMAL
BALANCEhaving equal
weight on equal sides from the
center
present when the left and right side of the art display different objects
but have the same weight
FORMALBALANCE
Bilateral Symmetry – present when the left and right sides mirror each other
Radial Symmetry – exists when the same measure occurs from the central point to the
end of every radius
INFORMALBALANCE
PROPORTIONIt is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms.
It is the relationship in scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts. Differing proportions within a composition can relate to different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help establish visual weight and depth.
VITRUVIAN MAN BY FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO
RHYTHMA continuance, a flow, or a feeling of
movement achieved by the repetition of regulated visual information.
EMPHASISIt suggests that certain elements should assume more importance than others in the same composition. It contributes to organic unity by emphasizing the fact that there is one main feature and that other elements are subordinate to it.

GENRES OFART
WHAT IS GENRE?• You tell your friend that you're going to the movies. The first
question that he or she may ask you is, 'what kind of movie is it?' You probably then respond that's it's a comedy, drama, horror, western or maybe even a musical. Just from your simple response, your friend will immediately know exactly what kind of experience you will have over the next couple of hours.• Genre is used to group various types of art. It provides a rule
bound world in which there are a predictable range of features and expectations. So if I decide to go to a book store and buy a fantasy novel, my expectations are that the story will feature an imaginary place with fairy tale elements such as wizards and supernatural powers and magic. Imagine if I'm expecting a fantasy and instead I wind up reading a non-fiction story on the Vietnam War. My present expectations would obviously not be met and I'd most likely be extremely disappointed.
VISUALARTS
The visual arts are art forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. Many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types.
BAROQUE
In fine art, the term Baroque (derived from the Portuguese word 'barocco' meaning, 'irregular pearl or stone') describes a fairly complex idiom, originating in Rome, which flowered during the period c.1590-1720, and which embraced painting, and sculpture as well as architecture. After the idealism of the Renaissance (c.1400-1530), and the slightly 'forced' nature of Mannerism (c.1530-1600), Baroque art above all reflected the religious tensions of the age - notably the desire of the Catholic Church in Rome (as annunciated at the Council of Trent, 1545-63) to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. Thus it is almost synonymous with Catholic Counter-Reformation Art of the period.
GRAPHICART
The term 'graphic art' (a derivation from the German Graphik, originating from graphikos, the Greek for drawing) commonly denotes those forms of visual expression that depend for their effect on line and tone (disegno), not color (colorito). The main classical type of graphic art is drawing, which includes cartoons, caricature, comic strips and animation, as well as line drawings and sketching with pencil or charcoal, and pen and ink. Graphic art also denotes those art forms involved in printmaking, such as etching and engraving, including drypoint. Postmodern forms include the word art of Christopher Wool (b.1955) - characterized by monumental black stenciled letters arranged on a geometric grid - and the conceptual graphic art of Barbara Kruger (b.1945).
ABSTRACT
The term 'abstract art' - also called "non-objective art", "non-figurative", "non-representational", "geometric abstraction", or "concrete art" - is a rather vague umbrella term for any painting or sculpture which does not portray recognizable objects or scenes. However, as we shall see, there is no clear consensus on the definition, types or aesthetic significance of abstract art.
Picasso thought that there was no such thing, while some art critics take the view that all art is abstract - because, for instance, no painting can hope to be more than a crude summary (abstraction) of what the painter sees. Even mainstream commentators sometimes disagree over whether a canvas should be labelled "expressionist" or "abstract" - take for example the watercolour Ship on Fire (1830, Tate), and the oil painting Snow Storm - Steam Boat off a Harbour's Mouth (1842, Tate), both by JMW Turner (1775-1851).
A similar example is Water-Lilies (1916-20, National Gallery, London) by Claude Monet (1840-1926). Also, there is a sliding scale of abstraction: from semi-abstract to wholly abstract. So even though the theory is relatively clear - abstract art is detached from reality - the practical task of separating abstract from non-abstract can be much more problematical.
PLASTICARTS
The term "plastic art" - derived from the word "plasticize", meaning "to mould" - describes any art form which involves modelling or moulding in three dimensions. The most common example of the plastic arts is sculpture. This is because sculptors chip, carve, shape or modulate a range of traditional materials, such as marble, granite, sandstone, bone, ivory, wood, and terracotta, as well as contemporary materials such as concrete, aluminum, and foam rubber.
Another type of plastic art, in this case using clay, is ceramic pottery, including earthenware, maiolica, raku and stoneware, as well as Chinese porcelain and celadon ware. Yet more types of plastic art include: collage, paper art, and Origami paper folding; metalworking, glass blowing and other forms of glass art, including mosaics; wood-working, as well as contemporary disciplines such as ice sculpture and also, sand art.
SCULPTING
The most enduring and, arguably, the greatest form of fine art known to man, sculpture has played a major role in the evolution of Western culture. Its history and stylistic development are those of Western art itself.
It is a key indicator of the cultural achievements of Classical Antiquity, and became an important influence on the development of Renaissance art in Italy. Together with architecture, it was the principal form of monumental religious art which for centuries (c.400-1800) was the driving force of European civilization. Even today, although continuously evolving, sculpture is still the leading method of expressing and commemorating both historical figures and events.
AUDIO-VISUAL ART
LITERARYARTS
Literary works include nondramatic textual works with or without illustrations. They may be published or nonpublished. Computer programs and databases also are considered literary works. Plays, dramas, and screenplays are not in the literary works category.
DRAMA
Drama is a mode of fictional representation through dialogue and performance. It is one of the literary genres, which is an imitation of some action. Drama is also a type of a play written for theaters, televisions, radios and films.
In simple words, a drama is a composition in verse or prose presenting a story in pantomime or dialogue, containing conflict of characters, particularly the ones who perform in front of audience on the stage. The person who writes drama for stage directions is known as a dramatist or playwright.
POETRY
Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.
It may use condensed or compressed form to convey emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind or ear; it may also use devices such as assonance and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used. The interactive layering of all these effects to generate meaning is what marks poetry.
Methodsof presenting the subjects
Certain Methods of presenting arts are employed in order for it to be effective. In presenting his subject, the artist uses different methods to express the idea he wants to make clear.
INTRODUCTION
It is the attempt to portray the subject as is. The artist selects, changes, and arranges details to express the idea he wants to make clear. The artist main function is to describe accurately what is observed through the senses.
REALISM
• “Abstract” means to move away or separate
• Abstract art moves away from showing things as they really are.
• Not Realistic

DIVISIONS OF ART STUDY
SCOPE OF THE STUDY OF ARTS•During second half of 20th century:• Aesthetics or art appreciation• Art history
•Now: • Extended to:• Art production• Art criticism
AESTHETICS OR ART APPRECIATION
• Art Appreciation is the knowledge and understanding of the universal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. • Admire the artists• Value highly different works of art• Appreciate the role of art in society
ART PRODUCTION
Art history is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts (genre, design, format, and
style).
ART HISTORY
Using creativity, applying artistic knowledge and skills in producing own works of art.

ART CRITICISMArt criticism is the discussion or evaluation of art.
Various movements has resulted in a division of art criticism into different disciplines which may each use different criteria for their judgements.
GOAL: the pursuit of a rational basis for art appreciation
LINE–Foundation of drawing–Series of connected dots or prolongation of a point
–Suggest shape, pattern, form, structure, growth, depth, distance, rhythm, movement and a range of emotions
–Two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract

TEXTURE–Sense of touch–Smooth or rough, fine or coarse, glossy or dull, regular or irregular
–Dependent on medium or material he uses
SPACE–Area or surface occupied by artwork–Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional
PERSPECTIVE–Point of view; angle of vision; frame of reference
–Technique used to represent a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface to look realistic
–Two types: one-point perspective and two-point perspective
One-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer.
Two-point perspective, the view is from the corner and the sides recede toward two different vanishing points
History of ArtFROM GREEK PERIOD TO POST-MODERNISM
I. GREEK PERIOD: GOLDEN AGE• The height of this period was the time of Pericles and
Thucydides, of the great dramatists Sophocles and Euripides, and of the young Socrates.• Aesthetic ideal based on the representation of human
character as an expression of a divine system embodying a rational ethic and ordered reality was integral to the culture• The sculptor Polykleitos sought to arrive at a rational
norm for the structure of the ideal human figure.
