Introduction

• Medium is defined as the material, or the substance out of which a work is made. Through these materials, the artists express and communicate feelings and ideas. The medium also defines the nature of the art form as follows


  Medium
• Uses metal, wood, stone, clay, and glass. It is the branch of the visual art that operates in threedimension because it occupies space and has a volume. One form of sculpture is pottery and the notable examples are Guillermo Tolentino ’s Oblation, Bulul wood carvings from the Cordilleras and carvings of saints in Christian churches.


  SCULPTURE
• Uses wood, bamboo, bricks, stone, concrete, and various building materials. It is the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings


  ARCHITECTURE
• Uses ink normally on paper but can also be used on woods, metal plates, or silkscreens. Prints are classified as two-dimensional because they include the surface or ground on which coloring substances are applied. However, while paintings are unique, prints can be reproduced in several predetermined editions


  PRINTMAKING
• Use pigments like watercolor, oil, tempera, textile paint, acrylic, ink on a usually flat ground such as wood, canvas, paper and stonewall used in cave paintings

  PAINTINGS
• Uses the body and its movements. Dance is often accompanied by music, but there are dances that do not rely on musical accompaniment to be realized. Dance can tell stories, but at other times, they convey abstract ideas that do not rely on a narrative.

  DANCE
• Uses sounds and instruments (including the human voice), while the dancer uses the body

  MUSIC
• Use the camera to record the outside world. The filmmaker uses the cinematographic camera to record and put together production design, sound engineering, performance, and screenplay. In digital photography and film, the images can be assimilated into the computer, thus eliminating the need for cell

  PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMMAKING
• Uses words (novel, poetry, nonfiction and fiction)


  WRITING
• Artists integrate all the arts and use the stage, production design, performance elements, and script to enable the visual, musical, dance, and other aspects to come together as a whole work
