Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base).

The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In a rt, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. Howev er, painting is also used outside of art as a common trade among craftsmen and b uilders. Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper, can vas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper or concrete, and may incorporate m ultiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, gold leaf as well as object s. Painting is a mode of creative expression, and the forms are numerous. Drawing, composition or abstraction and other aesthetics may serve to manifest the expres sive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political i n nature. Elements Intensity-What enables painting is the perception and representation of intensit y. Every point in space has different intensity, which can be represented in pai nting by black and white and all the gray shades between. Color and tone-Color and tone are the essence of painting as pitch and rhythm ar e of music. Color is highly subjective, but has observable psychological effects , although these can differ from one culture to the next. Non-traditional elements-Modern artists have extended the practice of painting c onsiderably to include, for example, collage, which began with Cubism and is not painting in the strict sense. Some modern painters incorporate different materi als such as sand, cement, straw or wood for their texture. Rhythm-Rhythm is important in painting as well as in music. If one defines rhyth m as "a pause incorporated into a sequence", then there can be rhythm in paintin gs. These pauses allow creative force to intervene and add new creations form, mel ody, coloration.

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions, an d one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since modernism, shifts in sculptural process led to an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast. The word sculpture originates from the Latin word sculpere, which means 'to ca rve'. It can be defined as the art or practice of creating three-dimensional for ms or figures. Elements Space and Mass Sculptures by definition take up space, and it's often the way in which a s culpture affects the space between itself and its surrounding environment, or be tween itself and its viewer, that characterizes the sculpture. Scale Scale -- the size of the sculpture in relation to something else -- is an im

portant element in sculpture. Material and Texture The material and texture of a sculpture have a profound influence on the vie wer. Some materials are tactile, almost begging to be touched, like marble, whil e others appear coarse or slimy. Motion Motion has long been an important element of sculpture. Ancient Greek statue s like Myron's Discobolus captured a single moment in a discus thrower's flowing series of actions; here the moment that the sculptor chose to depict implies co ntinued movement. Later sculptors have made sculptures that actually move.

"Architecture" can mean: A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures. The art and science of designing and erecting buildings and other physical s tructures. The style and method of design and construction of buildings and other physi cal structures. The practice of the architect, where architecture means the offering or rend ering of professional services in connection with the design and construction of buildings, or built environments.[1] The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level (urban design, la ndscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). The term "architecture" has been adopted to describe the activity of designi ng any kind of system, and is commonly used in describing information technology . Elements Dot A dot is a mark that is shows the beginning of a work or the end of it. It is th e very basic element whereby an art work or a design starts. Line A line is a combination of a series of dots that are continuous, with an exact d istance in between each dot. Shape Shape is the creation when the end of a line meets the start of that line itself . Shape can be just a flat plane that is surrounded by outer line and does not h old any mass. Shape is perceived as an idea of the form or how it looks. Shape i s composed in positive and negative shapes. Positive shapes mean the shape of th e object on the area it is located. Negative shapes is the shape of the area the object is on. Form From the evolution of dot, to lines, and to shape; it evolved from 1 dimension ( dot &line) to 2 dimension (shape) and form is the 3 dimensional combination of t he previous products. Form has an area, height, mass and more then one surface.

Texture Normally we define texture as feel of the surface of an object. Texture is every where from every material and object whether it was man-made or natural. Texture give a sense of individuality on the material and using the right material on a design will help emphasize and create a feel that is called home or anything th at the space is design for. Color Color is the most important element in the creation of a work. Color has the pow er to influence and brings out our feelings.

Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written work. Th e word literature literally means "things made from letters." Literature is comm only classified as having two major forms fiction & non-fiction and two major techni ques poetry and prose. Elements Narrator The person telling the story (not always the same person as the author o r writer) Setting The place and time period in which the story takes place Characters Protagonist - the main character; the "good guy" Antagonist - the one opposing the main character; the "bad guy" Plot Plot Development: Plot diagram Exposition - The situation at the beginning of the story Rising Action - Complications that occur after some sort of conflict is introduc ed Climax - The turning point in the story Resolution - The situation after the conflict is resolved Types of Conflict: es, etc.) tc.)

Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts te mpo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and t exture. Elements Pitch register (high or low); Organization of pitches with a pattern of interva ls between them creates scales; Words we might use to describe scales: major/mi nor, chromatic, gapped, pentatonic. Rhythm the time element of music. A specific rhythm is a specific pattern in ti me; we usually hear these in relation to a steady pulse, and mentally organize t his pulse or tempo into meter (sometimes called a "time signature"). Melody, or musical line, is a combination of pitch and rhythm (some say "duratio n"). Timbre sound quality or tone color; timbre is the characteristic that allows us to distinguish between one instrument and another, and the difference between vo wel sounds (for example, long "a" or "ee"). Dynamics loud or soft. A composition that has extremely soft passages as well a s extremely loud passages is said to have a large or wide dynamic range. Dynami cs can change suddenly or gradually (crescendo, getting louder, or decrescendo, getting softer.) Texture monophonic (one voice or line),polyphonic (many voices, usually similar, as in Renaissance or Baroque counterpoint),homophonic (1. a melody with simple accompaniment; 2. chords moving in the same rhythm (homorhythmic)heterophony mi xed or multiple similar versions of a melody performed simultaneously (rare in Eu ropean music; possibly used in Ancient Greece)collage juxtaposition & superimpos ition of extremely different textures or sounds

Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhyth mic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expres sion, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, an d is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans or other animals, as in bee dances and behaviour patterns such as a mating dances. Elements Step Pattern The step pattern is the combination of steps put together to create mini sequenc es. These sequences can then be linked to create routines or variations. Footwork Footwork is the action in which we use the foot to create the technical element of the dance. For example heel, toe actions commonly used in the smooth and stan dard dances to create rise and fall. Ball, flat footwork commonly used in the rh

ythm and Latin dances. Timing Timing is the beats of the music we move our feet to. For example a box step can be danced in waltz to a 1, 2, 3, timing. This is the feet being placed on the f loor to those specific beats. A box step can also be danced in rumba but with a slow, quick quick timing, making the 2 dances very different in appearance. All dances have their own unique timing. Style Style is the element that is added to create the character of each individual da nce. This can be done through hip action, arm style, body position, movement acr oss the floor. It can be grace and elegance common for waltz, the staccato actio n common for Tango or even the sexy hip action used in most Latin dances. Althou gh style is the icing on the cake to create the Look it is achieved by the technic al elements in 1-4. Continuity Continuity is e to link the ce throughout im to achieve the ability to maintain the consistency of the dance. Whether it b step patterns together with ease or maintain the timing of the dan the music or even be consistent with the correct footwork we all a that perfect dance performance.

Cinema is a venue, usually a building, for viewing motion pictures ("movies" or "films"). Most movie theaters are commercial operations catering to the general public, wh o attend by purchasing a ticket. The movie is projected with a movie projector o nto a large projection screen at the front of the auditorium. Some movie theater s are now equipped for digital cinema projection, removing the need to create an d transport a physical film print. Elements camera movement lighting, ambient sound inserted soundshots, framing, camera angles editing techniques.

Photography (derived from the Greek photos- for "light" and -graphos for "drawin g") is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording li ght or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-se nsitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an ima ge sensor. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted fro m objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera durin g a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical ch arge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital im age file for subsequent display or processing. Elements

Ways in presenting art subject Realism it is the attempt to portray the subject as is. The artist selects, changes a nd arranges details to express idea he wants to make clear. The artist main function is to describe accurately what is observe through th e senses. Abstract It means to move away or destruct. Abstract art moves away showing things as they really are. The art work is not realistic Types of abstract art Distortion-the subject is in misshaped position Elongation- the subject is lengthened for protraction or extension Mangling- the subjects are either cut, lacerated, mutelated or hacked Cubism- subject are shown in basic geometrical shapes Symbolism The presentation of an invisible sign such as an idea or quality intosomethin g visible Fauvism Themes are either ethical, philosophical or psychological. Subject express co mfort, joy or hapiness Dadaism A protest movement formed in 1916 by a group of artist in Zurich, Switzerland . They try to provoke the public with outrageous forms of arts Came from the French word 'dada' meaning 'hobby horse' Futurism Its' works aims to capture the speed and force of modern industrial society a nd to glorify the mechanical energy of modern life Surrealism Founded in paris in 1924 by French poet Andre Breton It tries to reveal a new and higher reality than that daily life. They claim t o create a magical world more beautiful than the real one through art. It came from the slang of super realism
