HISTORY OF PAINTING The history of painting reaches back in time to

artifacts from pre-historic humans, and spans all cultures. It represents a continuous, though periodically disrupted tradition from Antiquity. Across cultures, and spanning continents and millennia, the history of painting is an ongoing river of creativity, that continues into the 21st century.[1] Until the early 20th century it relied primarily on representational, religious and classical motifs, after which time more purely abstract and conceptualapproaches gained favor.

CAVE PAINTING

PAINTINGA painting is an image

(artwork) created using pigments (color) on a surface (ground) such as paper or canvas. The pigment may be in a wet form, such as paint, or a dry form, such as pastels.

food, or musical instruments. A still life reveals an artist's skill in painting shapes,

light, and shadow. A real life scene captures life in action. It

could show a busy street, a beach party, a dinner gathering, or anyplace where living

goes on. A religious work of art shares a religious message. It might portray a sacred story or

express an artist's faith.

MEDIUMS OF PAINTING There are different mediums in paintings that are

used today. Artist's uses different kinds of mediums, they includes acrylic, pastels, fresco, gouache, oil tempura, water color and water miscible oil paint.

Acrylic is a fast drying paint. It contains pigments suspended in polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are usually diluted with waters.

Another medium that is being used is the Pastel. Pastel comes in three different types, the soft pastels, the hard pastels and the pastel pencils. The soft pastels are the most widely used; it has a higher portion of pigments and less binder. The hard pastel has a higher portion of binder and less pigment. The pastel pencils are pencils with pastel leads.

ACRYLIC PAINTING

PASTEL PAINTING

Fresco paintings can often be seen on walls and ceilings. The word fresco came from the Italian word fresco (fresh). There are three types of fresco, the Buon fresco, which consist of painting pigments mixed with water on a thin layer of plaster. Secco, which done in dry plaster. The pigment requires a binding medium such as egg (tempura, glue or oil to attach pigments). The Mezzo-fresco. In this type, the pigment should only penetrate slightly on the plaster.

FRESCO PAINTING

Gouache, derived from Italian guazzo, water pan, splash or body color. This medium is also dilute in water. It differs from water color considering that its particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much bigger and white pigment such as chalk is present on it.

Oil, oil is a type of slow drying paint. It consists of particular pigments suspended in a drying oil. This kind of medium does not dry quickly. It blends into the surroundings and allow the blending of color. It produces vivid colors with a natural sheen and distinct context. It provides a surface translucency similar to human skin making it an ideal for portrait painting.

OIL PAINTING

Tempera, another medium is the Tempera. also known as egg tempera, is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of colored pigment mixed with a water-soluble binder medium (usually a glutinous material such as egg yolk or some other size). Tempera also refers to the paintings done in this medium.

It is a permanent fast drying painting medium consisting of colored pigment mixed with water soluble binder. Tempera paints dries rapidly and it allows for great precision. When dry it produces smooth matte finish. Tempera painting has been found on early Egyptian sarcophagi decorating many of the Fayum mummy portraits.

Tempera

MURAL PAINTING A mural is any piece of artwork painted or

applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. A distinguishing characteristic of mural painting is that the architectural elements of the given space are harmoniously incorporated into the picture.
