Kinds of VISUAL ARTS Judy Ann Forteza Hannah Geraldino Karen Ivy Padua Romar Andre R. Umali
PAINTING – Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface ( base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
– “Pigments” are used for coloring paint, ink, plastic, fabric, cosmetics, food, and other materials. Most pigments used in manufacturing and the visual arts are dry colorants, usually ground into a fine powder. This powder is added to a binder (or vehicle), a relatively neutral or colorless material that suspends the pigment and gives the paint its adhesion.
– In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. The for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas,wood, glass, lacquer, clay, lea f, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, as well as objects.
– The term painting is also used outside of a as a common trade among craftsmen and builders.
Types of Paintings – A landscape is an outdoor scene. A landscape artist uses paint to create not only land, water, and clouds but air, wind, and sunlight.

Types of Paintings – A portrait is an image of a person or animal. Besides showing what someone looks like, a portrait often captures a mood or personality.
Portrait Painting
Types of Paintings – A still life shows objects, such as flowers, food, or musical instruments. A still life reveals an artist's skill in painting shapes, light, and shadow.
Still life Painting
Types of Paintings – A real life scene captures life in action. It could show a busy street, a beach party, a dinner gathering, or anyplace where living goes on.
Real life Painting
Types of Paintings – A religious work of art shares a religious message. It might portray a sacred story or express an artist's faith.

Process of Painting – Several painting mediums are carefully prepared so that each subsequent layer of paint contains a little more oil than the preceding layers; this will ensure a long life for the painting without cracking. Begin the application of color with the most distant forms first, working slowly towards the foreground elements. Even with significant preparation, some design problems only present themselves in this final stage, and in the absence of instructions, the solution is not always quickly found. Some shifts are comparatively short, where paint must be allowed to dry before proceeding; other shifts can run to 36 hours where large areas of paint must be modelled to porcelain perfection while they are wet. Transparent glazes are added to certain areas as the painting nears completion, and this is perhaps the only part of the whole process that happens quickly. The final painting element is the signature, which I like to incorporate into the landscape itself - as though the landscape and artist were somehow synonymous.
– The finished painting is allowed to dry for a week, and then a very thin retouching varnish is applied to unify the surface of the painting. Different paints dry at different rates, and it is important to see the entire painting with homogenous secularity to confirm all the colors are correct. The paint on my paintings is applied fairly thin, and so after a period of perhaps 1 or 2 months, I apply a final sealing coat of dammar varnish - the perfect gem-like surface for an oil painting.
– Larger more-detailed paintings require more time to paint than smaller less-detailed paintings. After dedicating 4 - 6 weeks in design and preparation, it generally takes an additional 4 to 12 weeks to complete the application of color to a painting, again depending upon the size and amount of detail in the composition. A 48" x 30" painting with a significant amount of complex design elements and painting detail (like Children of Eternity or The Awakening) may take more than 1000 hours to complete.

SCULPTURE
What comes into your mind when I say "Sculpture"?
As per Dictionary, sculpture is "the art of making two- or threedimensional representative or abstract forms, especially by carving stone or wood or by casting metal or plaster."
History of Philippine Sculpture Before the coming of the Spaniards, Philippine sculpture had a striking similarity with the Egyptian sculpture which is characterized by frontal nudity. Their difference lies in the symbolism behind the figure.
Types of Sculpture
Stone Sculpture – earliest form of monumental sculpture – best medium for monumental works Stones from all three principal categories of rock formation have been sculpted (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic).
Venus of Berekhat Ram
The Venus of Tan-Tan
Wood Sculpture – oldest and most continuous type of sculpture – It is a form of working wood by means of a cutting tool (knife) in one hand or a chisel by two hands or with one hand on a chisel and one hand on a mallet, resulting in a wooden figure or figurine, or in the sculptural ornamentation of a wooden object.
Gero Cross
Clay Sculpture
– It is the most plastic of all sculpting methods, versatile, light, inexpensive and durable.

Process
4 Basic Sculpture Techniques The processes are either subtractive (material is removed or carved out) or additive (material is added). – Carving: Carving involves cutting or chipping away a shape from a mass of stone, wood, or other hard material. Carving is a subtractive process whereby material is systematically eliminated from the outside in. – Casting: Sculptures that are cast are made from a material that is melted down— usually a metal—that is then poured into a mold. The mold is allowed to cool, thereby hardening the metal, usually bronze. Casting is an additive process. – Modeling: Modeled sculptures are created when a soft or malleable material (such as clay) is built up (sometimes over an armature) and shaped to create a form. Modeling is an additive process. – Assembling: Sculptors gather and different materials to create an assembled

DIFFERENT KINDS AND TYPES OF ARCHITECTURE
ANCIENT ROMAN ARCHITECTURE – Ancient Roman architecture developed different aspects of Ancient Greek architecture and newer technologies such as the arch and the dome to make a new architectural style. Its use of new materials, particularly concrete, was a very important feature. Roman Architecture covers the period from the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 BC to about the 4th century AD, after which it becomes reclassified as Late Antique or Byzantine architecture. Roman architectural style continued to influence building in the former empire for many centuries, and the style used in Western Europe beginning about 1000 is called Romanesque architecture to reflect this dependence on basic Roman forms.
COLESEUM OF ROME, ITALY
ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE – Islamic architecture encomes a wide range of both secular and religious styles from the foundation of Islam to the present day. What today is known as Islamic architecture owes its origin to similar structures already existing in Roman, Byzantine and Persian lands which the Muslims conquered in the 7th and 8th centuries. The principal Islamic architectural types are: the Mosque, the Tomb, the Palace and the Fort. From these four types, the vocabulary of Islamic architecture is derived and used for other buildings such as public baths, fountains and domestic architecture.
KAIROUAN MOSQUE
GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE – Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished during the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th-century and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as Opus Francigenum ("French work") with the term Gothic first appearing during the later part of the Renaissance. Its characteristics include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe.
REIMS CATHEDRAL
BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE – Baroque architecture is the building style of the Baroque era, begun in late 16th-century Italy, that took the Roman vocabulary of Renaissance architecture and used it in a new rhetorical and theatrical fashion, often to express the triumph of the Catholic Church and the absolutist state. It was characterized by new explorations of form, light and shadow, and dramatic intensity. Baroque architecture and its embellishments were on the one hand more accessible to the emotions and on the other hand, a visible statement of the wealth and power of the Church.
CHURCH OF GESU
NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE – Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by the neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century. In its purest form it is a style principally derived from the architecture of classical antiquity, the Vitruvian principles, and the architecture of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio. – In form, Neoclassical architecture emphasizes the wall rather than chiaroscuro and maintains separate identities to each of its parts. The style is manifested both in its details as a reaction against the Rococo style of naturalistic ornament, and in its architectural formulae as an outgrowth of some classicising features of Late Baroque. Neoclassical architecture is still designed today, but may be labelled New Classical Architecture
VILINIUS CATHEDRAL
RESORT ARCHITECTURE – Resort architecture is an architectural style that is especially characteristic of spas and seaside resorts on the German Baltic coast. The style evolved since the foundation of Heiligendamm in 1793, and flourished especially around the year 1900, when resorts were connected to big cities via railway lines. Until today, many buildings on the German coasts are built in the style or feature distinct elements of resort architecture.
MODERN ARCHITECTURE – Modern architecture or modernist architecture is a term applied to an overarching movement, with its exact definition and scope varying widely. [1] The term is often applied to modernist movements at the turn of the 20th century, with efforts to reconcile the principles underlying architectural design with rapid technological advancement and the modernization of society. It would take the form of numerous movements, schools of design, and architectural styles, some in tension with one another, and often equally defying such classification. [1] The term Modern architecture may be used to differentiate from Classical architecture following Vitruvian ideals, while it is also applied to various contemporary architecture styles such as Postmodern, High-tech or even New Classical, depending on the context.

POSTMODERN ARCHITECTURE – Postmodern architecture began as an international style the first examples of which are generally cited as being from the 1950s, but did not become a movement until the late 1970s[1] and continues to influence present-day architecture. Postmodernity in architecture is said to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. As with many cultural movements, some of Postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture.

FAMOUS FILIPINO ARCHITECTS
LEANDRO LOCSIN – Leandro Locsin- (1928-1994) a brilliant architect, interior designer, artist and classically trained pianist, Locsin was also a keen art collector, amassing a sizable collection of fine Chinese art and ceramics during his lifetime. His most substantial contribution to Filipino architecture is the Cultural Center of the Philippines, a collection of five buildings that demonstrate the architect’s drive to find a vernacular form of modernist architecture.
ILDEFONSO P. SANTOS – Ildefenso P Santos- The father of Philippine landscape architecture. He created some of the best-loved urban spaces in the Philippines. Landscape architecture, which deals with parks, plazas and green spaces, was a little-considered element of urban planning in the first half of the 20th century. However, Santos changed that, carrying out pioneering work that, after four decades in the profession, led him to become National Artist for Architecture in 2006. One of his earliest successful projects was the Makati Commercial Center, an outdoor shopping mall in which the shop fronts and walkways were interspersed with garden trails, fountains and public artworks.
ANTONIO PABLO – Pablo Antonio- One of the first exponents of modernist architecture in the Philippines. Antonio (1901-1975) is revered as a pioneer and the foremost architect of his time. This success was perhaps unexpected for a boy who was orphaned at 12 and dropped out of his first architecture degree. It was during his studies at the University of London that Antonio began to shine, completing a five-year program in only three years. One of his successful projects was the school of Far Eastern University.
CARLOS A. SANTOS-VIOLA – Carlos A. Santos-Viola- An urbane young man who enjoyed lawn tennis and playing the saxophone, Carlos Santos-Viola was also a gifted architect. He was a devout Catholic throughout his life, and many of his best known designs were executed for the Iglesia Ni Cristo, a Filipino religious group. Santos-Viola created churches for the group all over the archipelago, designed in a style quite distinct from that of his contemporaries. The desire for functionality informed almost all of Santos-Viola’s work, and he was fond of asserting that, ‘the structure must not only look good but must also be made well.’
FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTS Antoni Gaudi This famous Spanish architect, born in 1852 in the Catalonia region, has come to epitomise Spanish architecture. A devout Catholic he believed he could glorify “God” by taking his architectural inspiration from nature. This appears to have worked rather successfully - Gaudi’s various creations are a kaleidoscope of curves, different textures and bright colours. His buildings can be seen all over Barcelona but there is one property that seems to define Mr Gaudi, namely the iconic Cathedral of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
SAGRADA FAMILIA IN BARCELONA
Frank Gehry Frank Gehry is a standout architect. He regularly extends the metaphorical middle finger to traditional design, producing some of the most innovative and quirky buildings of the modern era. His work is completely distinctive, with many of them, including his home, having become tourist attractions due to their unique aesthetic. While most of Gehry’s work is iconic – one of his most noticeable buildings is the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Yes, the Guggenheims don’t mess about when deg their museums.

Tom Wright Tom Wright is one of the younger architects appearing on this page but his work on one of the most iconic buildings of all time, a relatively new one at that, has put him here with distinction. British-born, Wright is responsible for the design of the world’s most recognizable hotel, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, which is recognised as one of the tallest and most recognisable buildings in the world.

James Hoban Probably the most recognizable building in the world, the White House was designed by Irish architect James Hoban. In the late 1770’s Hoban submitted a plan for the design of the presidential mansion. He won the commission and construction began in 1793. The mansion was completed in 1801.
