The artist thinks, feels, and

trends
Wall art is all the rage right now, with a recent spike of interest
in mixed media. A big theme of 2018 is breaking the mold and
embracing the unexpected, which may be why more people are
using mixed media to spice up their homes. Collage and digital art
combining unexpected elements and embracing the “imperfect”
have also been in high demand. 28
 In painting and photography, immersive landscapes and
surreal scenery are taking the cake. Buyers are looking to art to
transport them to other realms and expand their
understanding of the world. Contrastingly, art-lovers are also
showing more interest in work that highlights personal stories
and intimate moments in people’s lives (we saw this one
coming!).
 
Generally speaking, landscapes of all styles and figure studies
have always proven popular and continue to find homes at a
steady rate.
 Music and poetry
× A more mainstream appreciation of music that combines and
traverses multiple genres speaks to 2018’s theme of
“breaking the mold” (alternative hiphop and R&B are huge right
now). Also, boy bands. That’s right — there’s going to be a boy
band comeback in 2018, and you better be ready for it.
× While the mainstream music industry continues to enjoy the success
of streaming services, there seems to be a growing desire
for more intimate and valued musical experiences, allowing
platforms like Bandcamp and Downwrite to evolve. Listeners across
the country are making an effort to support individual and
unsigned musicians, and more unique sales platforms are
growing to support and sustain those artists. More good news for
us! 
× Free-verse and spoken word poetry are more popular today than
their more traditional, rhythmic counterparts, although if used 30

Painting

-The most familiar type of painting is

done with oil on canvass and the
pigments are also mixed in oil. The
surface must receive oil paint freely
and yet not absorb it, can withstand
temperature changes and not crack

 Two methods in Oil
Painting

1. Direct Method- paints are opaque

and are applied to the surface just
as they are.
2. Indirect Method- the paint is
applied in many thick layers of
transparent color.

requires high degree of technical
dexterity.

The newest medium and widely

used by painters today. It combines
transparency and quick-drying

flexible as oil. They are completely

almost on any surface.
 Sculpture
s

the art of making two- or three-

dimensional representative or
abstract forms, by the use of
different mediums. In choosing a
subject, the most important thing to
consider is the material. Substances
available for sculpture are limitless.
 Types of medium in
Making Sculptures

1. Soft medium- it has freedom. It

lend itself to a moderate technique
that uses squeezing and shaping
and continuously adding to it as
work goes on. Modelling allows for
the expansion of gesture. A good
example of this medium is clay.
 Types of medium in
Making Sculptures

2. Hard medium- requires the

process of cutting and taking away
from the block. Carving is confined
to the limits of wood or stone. An
example of this medium is stone and
wood.
‐  
 Major sculpture processes
used:
1. Subtractive Process- a process in
which unwanted material is cut away.
Carving of stone and wood is a good
example. It is the 2 major mediums in
this process.

2. Additive Process- it is the

construction of a figure by putting
together bits of clay, or by welding
together parts of a metal. Final results
are produces by putting together
smaller segments of metals. Materials
may be rigid or semi-rigid like metal
 Two Types of Sculpture
1. Relief- figures which are attached
to the ground like the relief of " Stela
of Akhenaten" and the sculpture
made by Ed Castrillo for the
Polytechnic University of the
Philippines.

2. Free-standing- can be seen from

all sides like the UP Oblation made
by Guillermo Tolentino in 1949. It is
made of bronze and stone.
Stone and Bronze
The media most commonly used for
sculpture are stone and metal. Stone
is durable, resistant to elements, fire
and other hazards. On the other
hand, it is heavy and breaks easily.
Wood
Relatively light and can be made
easily into a variety of shapes. It
also polishes well and has smooth,
shiny surface and beautiful color.
 Ivory
Ivory statues survive through long
periods of time due to the intrinsic value
of the material. Ivory lends itself to
technical mastery. Popular to ordinary
craftspeople. It lacks the vigor of
