An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts, and/or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism. 1. THE SCOPE OF HUMANITIES By: Eric F. Pazziuagan 3. Visual ArtsPerceive by our eyesClassification: ◦Graphic: flat, two- dimensional surface ◦Plastic arts: three- dimesional 7. Drawing The art of representing something by lines made on a surface or the process of portraying an object, scene, or forms of decorative or symbolic meaning through lines, shading, and textures in one or more colors. Medium: pencil, pen and ink, crayon, brush, and charcoal. 4. The Graphic Arts Any form of visual representation in which portrayals of forms and symbols are recorded on a two-dimensional surface. All processes and products of the of the printing industry. 8. Graphic Processes Processes for making multi- reproduction of graphic works. Involve the preparation of master image of the drawing or design on some durable material such as wood, metal, or stone, from which printing is done. Processes: ◦ Raised (relief) ◦ Depressed (Intaglio) ◦ Flat (surface, or plane) 14. Commercial Art Designing of books, advertisements, signs, posters, and other displays to promote sale or acceptance of product, service or idea. 15. Mechanical Processes Developed by commercial- mechanical process for rapid, large- quantity reproduction of words and pictures in one or more colors. 16. Photography Chemical- mechanical process by which images are produced on sensitized surfaces by action of light. Reproductions may be in black or white or in full colors of the original. The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts[1] are the applied arts[2] such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.[3] Drawing is a form of visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Instruments used include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals (such as silverpoint). An artist who practices or works in drawing may be called a draftsman or draughtsman.[1] Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos) are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Graphics word is derived from the word graph. A graph has x and y axis. Same way something which is created in digital word is seen on a digital screen, this screen also has x and y axis. So the output on any digital device is termed as graphics. In other words an image that is generated by a computer called graphics. The pictorial representation and manipulation of data, as used in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational programs. Commercial art is the art of creative services, referring to art created for commercial purposes, primarily advertising. The term has become increasingly anachronistic in favor of more contemporary terms such as graphic design and advertising art. Photography (derived from the Greek photos- for "light" and -graphos for "drawing") is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.[1] Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing.
