Abstraction
● Drawing – this is the most fundamental of all skills needed in the arts. All
designed objects are first visualized in drawing before they are actually made.
A drawing may be a study made for the sake of learning how to draw some forms
or as a means of investigating a particular detail of what may eventually become a
large com[position. It may be a sketch showing the general organization or design of
the product being planned. It may be a cartoon, such as the full – size work meant to
be a basis for some other work like a tapestry or a relief print. Or it may be a
finished work in itself.

Mediums in Drawing
● Pencil - Drawing can be done with various mediums. The most common of
these is pencil, the lead (graphite) of which comes in different hardness from soft to
smudgy to very hard and needlelike, making possible a wide range of values
Kinds of Pencil
Pencil Drawings
● Ink – one of the oldest materials still in use, allows for a great variety of
qualities, depending on the tools and techniques used in applying the ink and the
surfaces on which it is applied.
India ink – comes in liquid form.
Chinese ink – solid sticks that are dissolved in water before use.
Bistre and sepia – two kinds of ink that artist use extensively. Bistre is gray-
brown ink made from the soot produced by burning some resinous wood, and sepia,
a strong dark brown ink, comes from the ink sacs of cuttlefish or squid.
Pen and ink drawings are characterized by precisely controlled and uniformly
wide lines. When done in combination with washes, they offer an interesting
contrast to the soft and shadowy quality of the wash background. Chinese ink
drawings, often executed on silk or rice paper with a brush, are either in
monochrome ink or in combination of ink lines and watercolor.
Pastel and chalk – dry pigment held together with a gum binder and
compressed into sticks. Chalk is usually employed in preliminary sketches, As
finished work of art, these drawings are quite fragile and must be sprayed with a
fixative to prevent the pigment from rubbing off.
Crayons – they are pigment bound by wax and compressed into sticks. They
adhere well to the paper surface but they do not lend themselves to rubbing to
achieve gradations in value.

● Relief Printing – involves cutting away from a block of wood or linoleum the
portions of the design that the artist does not want to show, leaving the design to
stand out of the block. The uncut, smooth surface is then covered with ink, which
under pressure, leaves an impression on paper or cardboard.
Color prints are made with separate block for each color, as in the Japanese
ukiyo-e. The artist must be careful to insure that the color is printed precisely on the
proper area.
For linocuts, linoleum is mounted on a block of wood and worked in the same
manner as a woodcut. Like the woodcut, the linocut does not allow for great detail in
the design. Both lend themselves to bold lines and wide areas of light and dark.

● The Stencil Process- This is done by cutting designs out of special paper
cardboard, or metal sheet in such a way that when ink is rubbed over it, the design
is reproduced on the surface beneath.
Serigraphy, or silk-screen process printing is fundamentally a multicolor
stencil process. The printing is done through a screen which consists of a very fine
silk or nylon mesh stretched tightly over a simple wooden frame. Parts of the mesh
are blocked out with a stencil and the areas which are to print are left open. The
screen is then placed over the paper to be printed. Ink or paint is squeezed through
the open portions in the mesh into the paper or cloth underneath. For multicolor
prints a separate screen is used for each color`
Contemporary artists often combine different printmaking methods to
produce new and exciting effects.
Photos are one of the best ways we capture memories, tell stories, and share life’s joy.
Whether you’re a new mom looking to ways to capture the best photos possible of
your baby growing up, looking for creative Instagram photo ideas, or you’re planning a
trip to a picturesque location with plenty of photo opportunities – there’s many different
reasons to pick up photography. But if you’re new to DSLRs or not quite used to your
smartphone camera, your camera may feel a little intimidating. If so, we have you
covered with our guide on photography for beginners. We’ll help you figure out the
camera and photography basics along with providing some of our favorite photography
tips for beginners.
C AMERA B ASICS
Before you dive into taking photos, you need to understand how your equipment
works. Learning about the features and mechanics of your camera – whether that’s a
point-and-shoot, smartphone, or DSLR – is vital.
For example, knowing how to turn off the automatic flash, change the shutter speed or
aperture, or even understanding the zoom function, can make or break your final
photos. It’s always best to refer to your camera’s manual when understanding the
specifics, but you can also refer to our resource on how to take good pictures with
your smartphone for phone based photography basics.
P HOTOGRAPHY BASICS
Once you’ve taken the time to get to know your equipment, it’s time to start practicing.
Begin by seeking out examples of photographers you admire and planning out the
type of photography you want to do. Save your favorite example photos for reference
and plan out locations for your photoshoots. Then, once you’re ready, refer to the
steps below.
H OW T O P HOTOGRAPH
1. Research and find photo inspiration.
2. Read your camera’s manual.
3. Make sure you understand the language. Refer to our photography terms
glossary for help.
4. Find your location and set up your equipment.
5. Frame your photo through the lens, and make sure the light and color are
balanced.
6. Hold your camera carefully.
7. Take your time.
8. Take many photos, and try not to check each one as you take them.
9. Edit your photos post photoshoot.
10. Keep practicing!
13.Don’t overpack equipment. Nothing weighs you down in your efforts like weight.
Seriously ask yourself before setting out if you need that third lens or heavyweight
tripod.
14. Plan ahead. Read more about this and other travel photography tips from our hub.
15. Check your exposure. You never want your subject to be either under or over
exposed in the photo– or you’ll risk losing key features. Check this ahead of time.
15. Make sure your subject is relaxed. If you subject is nervous or upset, it’ll show
through in the photograph. Try having a normal conversation with them or
distracting them between photos to help put them at ease.
15. Try to include some variation. Whether this means changing up the scenery,
their outfit, both, or something else entirely – variation is interesting. And
interesting photos will always top plain photos.
15. For family portraits, stay organized. There’s a lot that ties together when going
for a family photo session. Keep everyone on track so you get the best ph

Summary
This module include all arts related to painting. Drawing is considered the
most fundamental skills needed in the arts. It has been said that drawing may be a
study for the sake of learning. Drawing can also be done with various mediums like
ink, which is considered the oldest material or mediun still used in the present time.
The pen and ink used by the Chinese in their landscape rendering. The use of the
sepia and bistre. The pastel and chalk , the use of charcoal in drawing whose soft
graphite produces the darkest, and velvety tones and the hardest produces the
lightest and grayest ones. The application of crayons and the silverpoint.
It also include mosaic art , an important feature of Byzantine churches as
well as mosaic art in the Philippne churches like Sta. Crus Church in Manila and
Victorias Church in Negros Occidental. Another relataed to painting is the stained

part of the Gothic cathedral. They are also means of religious instructions since it
depicts scenes from the Bible and from the lives of saints. It also feature the Sto.
