PERFORMANCE
PRACTICES
Objectives
At the end of this Guided Learning Activity Kit, you are expected to:

1. identify the different techniques and performance

practices applied to contemporary arts;

2. discuss the different techniques and performance

practices applied to contemporary arts;

3. create artworks using the techniques and

performance applied in contemporary arts.
What is medium?

Medium is defined as the material, or the

substance out of which a work is made.
Through these materials, the artists
express and communicate feelings and
ideas. The medium also defines the
nature of the art form as follows:

 Nature of the art form:

Photography and
filmmaking
Photography and filmmaking use the camera to
record the outside world. The filmmaker uses the
cinematographic camera to record and put
together production design, sound engineering,
performance, and screenplay. In digital
photography and film, the images can be
assimilated into the computer, thus eliminating the
need for celluloid or negatives, processing
chemicals, or print.
What is technique?

Technique is the manner in which artists use

and manipulate materials to achieve the
desired formal 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.
 Technique involves tools and
technology ;

 Traditional Techniques

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 years
during the Angkor Empire, with
sculptures of Apsara, Angkor tales
and other stories regularly adorning
the royal compounds
 Traditional Techniques

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 used for more than 100
years in the commercial and artistic
sector and is mainly used for
printing images and designs on T-
shirts, Tote bags, paper, wood,
ceramics and other materials.
 Traditional Techniques
Filmmaking
Film production is the process of making
a film. The direction or production of
films for the cinema or television is a
visual storytelling. Filmmaking 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.
 Contemporary Techniques

Digital photography
Uses cameras containing arrays of electronic
photodetectors 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.
 Contemporary Techniques

Digital film making

Is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to
blend art and digital media and speed up the
process of filmmaking as well as be more creative
and enterprising in the special effects department.
 Contemporary Techniques

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.
 Contemporary Techniques

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 a specific industry, such as the
medical, automobile, or technology industry.
 Contemporary Techniques

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.

Collage
is the technique of an art production used in the
visual arts, where the artwork is made from on
assemblage of different forms, thus creating a
new whole. Collage may sometimes include
magazines and newspaper clippings, ribbons,
paints, bits of colored or handmade papers,
portions of other artwork or texts, photographs,
and other found objects, glued to a piece of
paper or canvas.

Decollage
is the opposite of collage; instead of an image is being
built up all or parts of existing images, it is created by
cutting, treating away, or otherwise removing pieces of an
original image. The French word “Decollage” in English
means “Take-Off” or “To become Unglued” or “To become
unstuck”. Examples of decollage include cut-up
technique. Similar technique is the lacerated poster, a
poster in which one has been placed over another or
others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped,
revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or
poster underneath.

Graffiti
are writing or drawings that have been scribed,
scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall or other
surface, often in a public space. Graffiti range from
simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.
Graffiti may express underlying social and political
messages, and a whole genre of artistic expression
is based spray paint graffiti styles.

Land Art
Earthwork or earth art is an art movement in which
landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked.
It is also an art form that is created in nature, using
natural materials such as soil, rock (bedrock, bolders,
stones), organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and
water which introduced materials such as concrete,
metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments. Sculpture is not
placed in the landscape rather, the landscape is the
means of their creation.

Digital Art
is an artistic work or practice that uses digital
technology as an essential part of the creative or
presentation process. Digital art is placed under the
larger umbrella term new media art. After some
resistance, the impact of digital technology has
transformed activities such as paintings, drawing,
sculpture, and music/sound art, while new forms such
as net art.

Mixed Media
It refers to the artwork in the making of which more
than one medium has been employed. It refers to a
work of visual art that combines various traditionally
distinct visual art media. It refers to a work of visual
art that combines various traditionally distinct visual
art media. For example, work on canvas that
combines paint, ink, and collage.

Print Making
is the process of making artworks by painting,
normally in the paper. Prints are created by
transforming ink from a matrix or through a prepared
screen to a sheet of paper or other material. Common
types of matrices include metal plates, usually copper
or zinc, or polymer plates for engraving o etching;
stone aluminum or polymer for lithography; blocks of
wood crafts and wooden graving; and linoleum for
linocuts. Screens made of silk or synthetic fabrics are
used for the screen-printing process.
