• What do you think the word media means when talking about art?
MediaThe materials an artist uses to
create a work of art
Drawing
• Dry- pencil, charcoal, chalk, pastel, crayon• Liquid- Ink
Pencil
• Invented by Conte• Cheap• Readily available• Easy to work with • Can be erased
Pencil- Ingres- portrait of Nicholas Paganini
Charcoal
• Burned sticks of wood• Finest quality coming from vines, heated in
a kiln until only the carbon remains
Chalk/Crayon
Main difference is the binder that holds them together.
Chalk- nonfat binder, blends well, can be overlaid. (Pastel-best known type of chalk)
Crayon- wax binder
Leonardo da Vinci Self portrait red chalk
•
Pigment- A coloring material made from various organic or chemical substances.
Binder- substance that holds the pigment together.
Ink
• Permanent, cannot be erased• Quality of line depends on the tool. Usually
some form of a pen.• Brush and ink- Favorite drawing tool of
Asian artists.• Wash- when ink is diluted with water and
applied with a brush.
Painting
• Encaustic• Fresco• Tempera• Oil• Watercolor• Gouache• Acrylic
Encaustic
• Painting medium in which the binder is wax, which is heated to render the paints fluid.
Fresco
• A painting medium in which colors are applied to a plaster wall (mural) or ceiling.
• Colors are applied to the wet plaster before it dries and thus binds with the surface. No corrections can be made.
• Michelangelo- Sistine Chapel Ceiling
Tempera
• Paint in which the pigment is mixed with egg yolk.
• Boticelli- The Birth of Venus
The Birth of Venus
By: Boticelli
Tempera Painting
By: Bridgett Marlin
Oil
• Paint in which the pigment is mixed with linseed or poppy oil.
• Dries very slowly, both an advantage and disadvantage
Impasto- From the Italian for “paste” paint applied in thick layers, sometimes with a knife.
Jan Van Eyck- The Arnolfini Wedding
Watercolor
• Pigment mixed with water.
• Gouache is watercolor with white pigment added to it.
Acrylic
Acrylic- developed in the 1950’s, acrylic paints are pigments mixed with polymer emulsions( plastic)
Acrylic paints can mimic oil, watercolor and gouache.
Dries quickly, and permanently.
Prints
• Prints are made by an indirect process. The artist does not draw or paint directly on the work of art but instead creates the surface that makes the work of art.
• Printing process results in many nearly identical images. Each image is called an impression and is considered an original work of art.
Edition- In printmaking, the total number of prints made from a given plate or block. The size of the edition is written on each print.(5/500)
Relief-Technique in printmaking in which portions of a block meant to be printed are raised.
Types of Prints
• Woodcut• Intaglio/engraving/etching• Lithography• Screenprinting• Monotype
Woodcut
• A relief printmaking method in which a block of wood is carved so as to leave the image areas raised from the background.
• Durer- rhinocerous
Intaglio
• Intaglio- printmaking techniques in which the lines or areas that will take the ink are incised into the printing plate, rather than raised above it.
• Engraving-Lines are cut into a metal plate using a “V” shaped tool called a burin.
• Etching- Design is “bitten” into the metal plate using acid. Plate is first coated with wax and the image is scratched into the plate.
Lithography
Printing technique based on the fact that oil and water don’t mix.
• Image is drawn on a surface with a greasy crayon.
• Printing surface is dampened with water. The surface is then inked.
• Ink only sticks to the greasy crayon. • Image is then printed
Toulouse Lautrec- The Moulin Rouge
Screenprinting
• Printmaking method in which the image is transferred to paper by forcing ink through a fine mesh in which the areas not meant to print have been blocked; a stencil technique.
• Andy Warhol- Soup Cans
Monotype
• Only one print is made. Artist usually paints an image with oil paint onto a piece of glass then makes a print of it.
