Paintings The art of creating meaningful effects on a flat surface by the use of pigment. Pigment- substance used for coloring

Types of Painting Oil painting Methods: The pigment are place in the oil Surface used is usually canvas although other surface like wood, proper and metal may be used. Pigments of oil come from many source. Methods: Direct- painting are opaque and are applied to the surface just as they are to look in the finished product. Indirect- the painting is applied in many thin layers of transparent color.

Well-Know Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco Norma Belleza Jose Joya “Maria Makiling” the woodland nymph of Mt. Makiling in the province of Laguna. Norma Belleza “Sari-Sari” was produced in 1979 Jose Joya “Red Talisman” painted in 1975

Tempera Painting Before oils were in general use, a type of painting called Tempera was popular. It is usually done on a wooden panel that has been made smooth with a coating of plaster. It dries rapidly Have a little blending or fusing of colors

Famous Artist Bernardo Fungai Unvarnished Tempera Varnished Tempera “Resurrection with two angels” and “ Majesty” Dimensions of Tempera Unvarnished Tempera One paints with water or thinned emulsion on a dampened or dried ground. Varnished Tempera Some colors may appear glaring and other may stand out in a very unpleasant way Gouache-Like Tempera Opaque colors mixed with water and gum.

Water Color Painting Not easy to make Require a high degree of technical dexterity. Pigments are mixed with water and applied to fine white paper. Colors are applied with thin layers. Paper is the commonly used ground. Other materials like parchment, ivory, silk, and cambric are also used as ground.

Pastel Painting More recent medium Possesses only surfaces of light Gives no glazed effect Most closely resembles dry pigment The pigment is bound so as to form a crayon which is applied directly to the surface usually paper Very flexible in medium Varied effects may produced in pastel painting

Fresco Painting Disadvantages of Fresco Most popular Color are mixed with water and applied to fresh plaster which absorbs the color It lost until the wall is destroyed In Italian “Fresco” means fresh and is used to designate the process of painting in fresh wet plaster. Disadvantages of Fresco Impossible to move a Fresco The painting is subject to the disasters that may happen to the wall of which it has become a part.

Acrylic Painting Famous Artist Mario Parial Rodolfo Paras Perez Newest medium One that is used widely by painters today Synthetic paints using acrylic emulsion as binder Completely insoluble when dry and can be used almost on any surface Do not tend to crack, and turn yellow with age. Famous Artist Mario Parial “Sisa” Rodolfo Paras Perez “Anting-Anting” Jose Joya “Blue Odyssey”

Architecture Art of designing and constructing a building. It fulfill a need that led to its creation. Since they needs different periods in history varied Availability of materials of materials is often also an important factor in architecture It must be durable and beautiful

Choices of Materials Post-and-lintel The earliest of the three Consists of two vertical posts for support (post), and a horizontal one (lintel). Generally used for wooden buildings. Examples: Parthenon of Athens, Greece. (454-438B.C.)

Arch voussoirs Dominant in Roman architecture Built from pieces of wood called voussoirs with joint between them and are arranged in a semi-circle Materials are in compression Dome is an extension of the principle of the arch. voussoirs

Cantilever Structural part projecting horizontally and anchored at one end only. Need a beam with a great tensile strength that can be securely fastened at the supported end Utilized largely in buildings with steel as a medium Used of skyscrapers

Materials Uses Wood Stone Steel Common building material today Relative durability, high tensile, abundance, and compression strength Easy to destroy Stone Mostly of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired High compressive strength Doesn’t easily crumble or break down when subjected Steel Great demand today Tough alloy of iron in variable amounts It help the architect to make many building of the present day
