1. ARTIST AND HIS MEDIUM
2. ARTIST AND HIS TECHNIQUE

ARTIST AND HIS MEDIUM


The artist thinks, feels, and gives shape to his vision in terms of his medium. When an
artist chooses his medium, he believes that this can best express the idea he wants to convey.
Most often, an artist employs more than one medium to give meaning to his creative production

THE PROCESS OF ART PRODUCTION


Production is at the heart of making art. Artists and theorists have long acknowledged its
importance as both an artistic action and an idea to be explored. ]
And as the role of production has shifted in our lives, so have the ways in which artists have
responded to it. While some contemporary artists foreground production as a tool, others use their
work to explore ideas around production we might otherwise overlook.
It can refer to the making of something, or to a final product, like a theatrical performance. It
can be the process of bringing a song or musical to life or honing that work to perfection.
Production might bring out images of factory production lines, or even the theories of scientists
and philosophers after the mind has conceived it through a certain process.

MEDIUM
When an artist is ready to express himself in art and to give shape to his vision, his first thought
would be on what medium to use
