Traditional Techniques Applied to Contemporary Arts Creation

• Sculptures

  • Are classified as three- dimensional works since these take up space and have volume.
  • Pottery is also considered a form of sculpture.
• Architecture

  • Another type of art that is considered three-dimensional is architecture.
  • Construction materials such as wood, cement, stone, bricks, and bamboo are used by the architect.
• Paintings

  • A painter uses various types of paints such as acrylic, oil, watercolor, and ink, among others.
  • These paints are typically applied to a flat surface such as canvas, wood, paper, or even walls.
• Printmaking

  • Involves the use of ink, which is applied or deposited on a surface using a tool that allows the printmaker to duplicate or reproduce a particular design.
  • Such tools include silk screens, wood blocks, and metal plates.
• Music

  • A form of art that is produced using instruments and sound, which also include the human voice
• Dance

  • Involves the use of the dancer’s body and movements. While music is often used to accompany dance, there are some dances that do not need it.
• Theater
