Techniques
and
Performanc
es Practices
Technique is the manner in which artists use and
manipulate materials to achieve the desired form
effect, and communicate the desired concept or
meaning according to his or her personal style
(modern, neoclassic, etc.). The distinctive
character or nature of the medium determines the
technique. See for example below.
Technique involves tools and
technology, ranging from the most
traditional (For example: carving,
silkscreen, analog photography,
and filmmaking) to the most
contemporary (digital
photography, digital filmmaking,
music production, industrial
design, and robotics).
Traditional Techniques
Wood Carving
Wood Carving is an art that has been practiced all over
the world but very avidly in Southeast Asia where great
pieces of woodwork have been crafted throughout…
the .ages. Siem Reap was a center of arts for many year
during the Angkor Empire, with sculptures of Apsara,
[Link] and other stories regularly adorning the
royal compounds. Today, these very same sculptures
are made by craftsmen and placed in hotels all over
Siem Reap.
Silk-screen printing
Is one of the most popular printing techniques, and is
most-used by companies when printing design onto
Products of different sizes and materials. It has been use
for more than 100 years in the commercial and artistic
sector and is mainly used for printing images and designs
onT-shirts, Tote bags, paper, wood, ceramics
and other materials
Analogue Photography
Analogue photography refers to photography using an
analogue camera and film. A roll of film loaded into the
camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light
interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is
recorded. The pictures collected in your film roll come to
life when the film is processed in a photo lab.
Filmmaking
Film production is the process of making a film. The
direction or production of films for the cinema or
television. It is a visual story telling. Film making
involves a number of discrete stages including an initial
story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting,
casting, shooting, sound. Recording and reproduction,
editing, and screening the finished product before an
audience that may result in a film release and
exhibition.
5 Stages of Filmmaking:
1st. Development - the first stage in which the ideas for the film are
created, rights to
books/plays are bought etc., and the screenplay is written. Financing
for the project
has to be sought and green lit.
2nd. Pre-production - Preparation are made for the shoot, in which
cast and film crew are hired, locations are selected and sets are built.
5 Stages of Filmmaking:
3rd. Production - The raw elements for the film
are recorded during the film shoot.
4th. Post production - The images, sound, and
visual effects of the recorded film are edited.
5th. Distibution - The finished film is distributed
and screened in cinemas and released to home
video.
Filmmaker is the one who takes the onus of
a feature film from beginning to end,
and most commonly fulfills the dual role of
producer and director (or more).
Contemporary Techniques
Digital photography
Uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photo
detectors to capture images focused by a lens, as
opposed to an exposure on photographic film. The
captured images are digitized and stored as a
computer file ready for further digital processing,
viewing, electronic publishing, or digital printing.
Digital film making
Is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to blend art and digital media and
speed up the process of film making as well as be more creative and enterprising
in the special effects department.
In short, more flexible digital cameras—such as the Panasonic HVX 200 and the
RED One and Scarlet cameras—and editing software such as Final Cut Pro
Studio, have made the cinematographer's and editor's jobs easier and made it
possible for filmmakers to produce quality films at much less expensive cost.
Music production
It is the process of creating a recorded music project. A record
producer usually handles music production, managing every
aspect. That can include being a critical part of the creative
process, such as deciding what instruments are used and
contributing to song arrangements. Since music production plays a
vital role in the quality of the final product, it can make or break the
success of an album. Record producers give recommendations on
which songs are best to record; manage financial aspects of
recording; hire outside performers, if needed; and work with sound
engineers in the recording process.
Industrial design
It is a combination of art and engineering;
drawing skills, creativity and technical
knowledge are critical. Industrial designers
usually choose to work on products in
aspecific industry, such as the medical,
automobile, or technology industry.
Robotics
It is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface
of computer science and engineering. Robotics
involves design, construction, operation, and use of
robots. The goal of robotics is to design intelligent
machines that can help and
assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep
everyone safe.
Activity No. 1 EXPECTED OUTPUT
Direction: For traditional technique, look for an analogue camera if not possible you may
take a photo using your cellular phone then paste it on your drawing notebook. Then on
the other hand, with the same picture try to edit it using A.I tool or Adobe photography.
QUIZ NO. 1
