lesson 7

2. • Explain the meaning of “medium” (material) and
“technique” (ways of handling material) as important
components of form through actual and hands-on
activities;
• Determine the meaning conveyed by the art by
understanding how an artwork is made, put together and
organized; and how it is produced, received (consumed)
and experienced through focused group discussions
and individual reflections;
OBJECTIVES:

3. • Appreciate how artists differ from one another in their
choice of materials and techniques of handling those
materials through actual exposure trips to
selected artists’ communities, studios, or workshops;
• Give examples of how contemporary artists invent
and explore new media and techniques, thereby
expanding the range of artistic resources; and
• Create an artwork that demonstrates knowledge of form
as a process of transformation requiring skill,
imagination, knowledge of contemporary material
and techniques, and competence in technique.

5. 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
