ART LEARNING GUIDE
Technological advancements paved the way to mass production of printed
materials in the Philippines. From simple woodcut and lithograph printing during
the Spanish colonization, printing of materials for schools, offices, and establishments become
easier and readily available. The production of art becomes simple also and easy due to the
advent of photography, digital imaging, photocopying, and scanning. Statistics shows that
worldwide information doubles every year because of the advances in technology unlike the
rate of production of arts, texts, and other documents during the medieval times. This is particularly
true in the Philippines where the demand for printed copies is
increasing.
Printing is both an art and industry. As an art, it requires creative expression using the available
media arts, tools, and equipment to produce printed copies of books, flyers, brochures, magazines,
billboards, posters, and the likes. As an industry, it will need artists that are skilled and
knowledgeable in the effective
use of art elements, principles of designs, and domains of the art - production, appreciation,
history, and criticism. Graphic artists, web page designers, cartoonists, illustrators, designers, and
animators are needed to make visually-pleasing and persuasive digital layouts and formats that are
essential in making printed copies for business. Printing is a fast growing industry and the
competition is rapidly changing as new breed of artists discover new media and utilize varied ways
to meet the demands of the business world. This will pose great challenges to a 21st century
would-be artists like you.
Printing in the Philippines Today
Technology changed the way Filipinos view and express art. Because of readily available materials
and new media, production of art shifted from traditional way to digitized lay outing and formatting
of images to create visually persuasive art pieces that range from simple gift tags to huge tarpaulin
prints for
billboards and signage along the major thoroughfares around the country.
Below are some of the printing devices and equipment available in the
Philippines today. These printing equipment and devices are important in making, duplicating, and
creating copies of art in the easiest way. Unlike the copies made through printmaking, printing
copies are duplicates from the original. Pre-Printing Devices
Pre-printing devices are used to capture images or photos such as digital cameras, memory
storage devices such as compact discs and flash disks, compact
discs, camera phones, tablets, ipods, scanners, and similar equipment. These are
devices that are used to take pictures or images and store them for future use. Lay outing and
Formatting Devices
Computer is the most popular device in the country today in making lay
outs and formats for printing. Software, programs, applications are needed to enhance and
enable lay outing and formatting of images to create designs for
printing. The use of computer also made the use of texts and images in graphics
and digital designs easy and more enjoyable.. AutoCad for example made interior designs and
architectural designs easy and enjoyable for computer literate
persons to create
Final Output Devices
These are devices that are used to make printed copies, such as printers
that are directly connected to computers, risograph, photocopier, and other duplicating machines.
Printers, regardless of type, remain the most popular device to make a sample or final output that
can be used for making duplicates. Special
printers are also available for making large formats such as tarpaulin printing used for billboards
and signage. Specialized printers are also used in making souvenir items such as cups, t-shirts,
and mugs. In making large quantities of prints in the
case of printing presses, offset printers and color separation printers are being
used.
These are among the devices and equipment used by modern artists and
even by ordinary people like you who want to maximize the use of technology for creative and
enjoyable activities or for engaging in a profitable business venture.
Assessment:
PERSONALIZED COMPUTER-BASED ART PROJECT
Promising art-related careers nowadays use computer-based methods. The use of technology in
making art gained popularity because of business, mass media, and the advent of internet. Students
who are knowledgeable in making use of technology to make art projects have an advantage over
others. Computer-based art projects are easy to prepare because of so many visual materials
available around or through the internet.
In this activity, you will make a personalized computer-based art project - a saucer, plate, mug or
tumbler for display purposes.
What To Do?
1. Using your digital camera or camera phone, take a picture that you want to use in your
personalized computer-based art project. If camera is not available, you can choose pictures or
images from the internet or you may draw a design of your choice.
2. Upload the pictures into your computer using a memory card or SD car reader. If you took
pictures from the internet, just download it and save into your computer. When drawing your own
design, scan the image and save it into your computer.
3. At the Start Menu of your computer, select the MS Publisher and create a new publication. It
is the simplest way of make your project. Adobe Photoshop can also be used if you are familiar with
it.
4. Make a design or a layout for your computer-based art project. When done lay outing, print it
using a sticker paper.
5. Cut your design and paste it evenly on your chosen object. Display your artwork.

Lesson Title: EVOLUTION OF THE PHILIPPINE PRINTING
Content:

The early attempts of the Filipinos to communicate with other people using
a written langu age can be learned from the fragments of pre -Hispanic artifacts.
The only written record in the Philippines with a date on it is the Laguna
Copperplate Inscription that dates back to 850 CE.

the ancient script with various names around the archipelago. In the Tagalog
region, it is called baybayin, kulitanin Kapangpangan, and suratin the Visayas, The
HanunuoMangyans of Mindoro and the Buhids retained their ancient script that
are similar to the baybayin of the Tagalogs.
The early printed books appeared during the Spanish times, as discussed in
the earlier modules. For centuries, printing of books in the Philippines were
controlled by friars and the government although some printers were able to
make copies of novenarios, pamphlets, and other reading materials using
lithography and woodblock printing.

past 400 years from the coming of the Spaniards up to the present time.
Assessment:
Printing and printmaking in the Philippines today is quite different from the past. As an art,
printmaking gained popularity in the Philippines only in the 1960s and 1970s. Printing
as means of creating cheap and readily available or instant copies of artworks and other printed
materials gained support from the general public and the corporate world.
Make a report about the evolution of In this activity, you will need the
printmaking and printing in the country.
following:
Mention its brief history, artists involved and sample works. Your report can be submitted in
(MICROSOFT WORD). You can also make a PowerPoint Presentation and submit your soft copy.
Procedures:
1. Utilize your resources from library first for your
