Forms of Visual Arts
Activity 1. Review

Give the forms and themes of Sculptures.

FORMS OF PAINTING THEMES OF PAINTING

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is
one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and
modelling; in stones, metals, ceramics, woods and other materials but, since
Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. In
contrast to painting, sculpture has three dimensions – height, width, and depth. It is
created by either carving, modelling, or assembling parts together.
GENERAL KINDS OF SCULPTURE:

Free-standing

This is a kind of sculpture that can independently..

stand..in. space. It has a flat horizontal base. All its.. sides
.contribute. to.. the overall form of the sculpture.

3
Relief

This kind of sculpture does not have a flat horizontal..

base..The form is projected from a flat surface. There are..
two. types of relief – low relief or bas-relief which is slightly.
from. the flat surface; and high relief. Cagayan de Oro’s..
Legendary. River Monster is an example of relief sculpture.

Assemblage

This sculpture is formed by putting together materials.

such as found objects, pieces of paper, sponges, wood.
scraps, and other materials. A good example of this is.
Lamberto Hechanova’s Man and Woman.

Kinetic Sculpture

This is considered as a sculpture in motion because..

the entire sculpture or some parts of the sculpture are..
moving with.. the wind or are vibrating with the..
surrounding air.

Welded Sculptures

Creating these sculptures involve the process of..

connecting sheets of metal together by using an
acetylene. or. electric torch.

Use of Glass

A kind of sculpture where the medium of expression..

used. by the artist is glass.
Symbolic Sculpture

It is a kind of sculpture in which an abstract idea is represented by means of

allegory and personification.

OTHER FORMS OF VISUAL ART:

Aside from painting and sculpture, other visual forms can be seen in every region
in the country. Some of them are even used by people on a regular basis. The
following are some of the visual arts used by various companies and offices:

Advertising Art

 This refers to using paid space or time in any of the.. media.to inform and
influence the public. This is used to.. encourage the public to patronage certain
goods and.. services,.or to support policies or persons.

for decorations or.. ornaments.

Basketry

This refers to the art of creating containers by.. weaving, plaiting, or braiding
materials into hollow.. three-dimensional.. shapes that can either be used for..
carrying, storage and. trapping animals.

Book Design

Book design involves structuring and reproduction of bound pages that are filled
with text and / or images, and are protected by hard or soft covers.

Costumes

Komiks and Editorial Cartoon

Both komiks and editorial cartoon involve illustrations of stories or events.

However, an editorial cartoon is a single-frame illustration that may either makes fun
of political leaders or institutions, or comments on current events. The komiks, on the
other hand, may use single or multiple frames with conversations of people or
animals placed inside “balloons”.

Leaf Art

Leaf art is used in religious rituals, food wrapping,

and.. even as a form of modern artistic expression. This
makes.. leaf.. art different from basketry.

Mat Weaving

This refers to the art of “plaiting strips of organic fibers into mats”. These mats,
locally known as banig, are cool, light, and portable compared to fixed beds.

Metalcraft

This includes all objects made from metal using the processes of brass casting
and blacksmithing, tinsmithing, or goldsmithing and silversmithing.

• Brass casting and blacksmithing

This process involves casting and forging pieces of brass or
bronze. Anting-anting or amulets are also created using this
process.
• Goldsmithing and silversmithing

objects and ornaments.
• Tinsmithing
Tinsmithing can be easily seen in creating jeepneys, kalesas,
and cariton or ice cream cart.

This consist of works that involves the use of other senses in appreciating those
works aside from the sense of vision.

 • Conceptual Art

situation, placing philosophical value in the process itself while negating
the importance of craftsmanship in arriving at a finished art object.
• Installation Art

objects in an exhibition space to cast a new experience or idea.

plate or film. Photographs are taken to serve as portraits and as propaganda which is
highly useful medium for an artist.
Pottery

Pottery is a general term for decorative and useful..
