Module 7 Techniques and Performance Practices
Activity 1. Wood carving
Try creating a piece of history yourself! Learn to use the
specialized tools in
wood carving such as hammer and chisels of every
imaginable size. Guests always enjoy completing their
very first carving–and who knows, you might just fall in
love with this ancient art. Create your own one-off
design here for a truly unique and memorable keep sake.
Take a picture of your artwork the before and after image
and paste it in the box provided below.
Before After
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.
1. Stone in chiselled 2.Wood is carved
3. Clay is modelled and shape 4.Metal is cast
5.Thread is woven
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 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. 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 on
T-shirts, Tote bags, paper, wood, ceramics and
other materials.
How does Silk-screen printing
work?
In order to print using the silk-screen printing
technique, different materials are used . To
start with, the printing frame is created , or
rather , the design is printed onto a sheet so
that the ink can be transferred.
The frame is placed on the T-shirt and with
the help of a scraper the colors are screened
(one layer for each color, up to a maximum of
four colors).
Whenever applying a layer with the frame ink ,
it is left to dry and then can be used for another
application.
Inspite of its craftsmanship in recent years ,
silkscreen printing has become more modern,
and there is now ink and machinery available
that enables us to obtain results of superfine
quality.
For this reason , now a days there are more and
more companies that decide to opt for silk-
screen printing when creating T-shirts and
other items with their logo.
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.
Film making takes place in many places
around the world in a range of economic,
social, and political contexts, and using a
variety of technologies and cinematic
techniques. Typically, it involves a large
number of people, and can take from a few
months to several years to complete.
5 Stages of Filmmaking:
1st. Development –the first Stage In which the
ideas for the film a recreated , 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.
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. Distribution - 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 film makers 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 a specific industry, such as the medical, automobile,
or technology industry.
Robotics
It is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of
computer science[1] 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.
