• Pigment


  Colored substance that gives paint its hue
• Types of Pigment

  • Natural (from natural resources like fruits, plants)
  • Synthetic (chemical)
• Binder


  Substance that holds together the pigment particles, allowing them to adhere to the painting surfaces
• Binders


  • Acrylic polymer
  • Oil
  • Egg yolk
  • Honey
• Solvent


  Liquid used to dissolve the binder and adjust the consistency of the paint, helps in spreading the pigment evenly and evaporates as the paint dries
• Solvents


  • Water
• Types of Paint


  • Water-based
  • Oil-based
• Contemporary Painting


  Two dimensional process of applying color on a flat surface using a wide variety of materials such as watercolor, acrylic, ink, pastel, and charcoal
• Themes in Painting

  • Genre painting
  • Historical painting

• Water-based Paints


  Kind of paint that is vulnerable to any contacts with water, so before applying the over layers, the underpainting should be completely dry first
• Contemporary Sculpture


  Modern three-dimensional art made using various materials and techniques, explores today's issues and styles, often mixing different materials and approaches to create unique artworks
• General Kinds of Sculpture

  • Free standing
  • Relief
  • Assemblage
  • Kinetic sculptures
  • Welded sculptures
  • Use of glass
  • Symbolic sculptures
• Free Standing

  Sculpture with flat horizontal base that can independently stand in space
• Relief

  Does not have a flat horizontal base but instead projected from a flat surface
• Assemblage

  Formed by putting together materials such as found objects, pieces of papers, sponges, wood scraps, and other materials
• Kinetic Sculpture


  Considered as a sculpture in motion because the entire sculpture or some parts of the sculpture are moving with the wind or vibrating with the surrounding air
• Welded Sculpture

• Addition


  Involves putting together materials through the use of welding torches, soldering guns, staplers, bolts, screws, nails, etc.
• Manipulation


  Classified as a direct method of creating the form of the image
• Substitution


  Known as casting, involves the reproduction of an original 3D image in a new material by using a mold
• Local Materials for Sculpture

  • Metal
