2D and 3D Media, Processes and Techniques
2D Media, Processes and Techniques
-
Drawing: This involves creating images on a flat surface. The process can involve various materials such as pencils, pens, charcoal, markers, and other drawing implements. Techniques such as sketching, hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling can be used.
-
Painting: The process of creating images using pigments suspended in a medium (like oil or water-based paint). Techniques include glazing, scumbling, impasto, and underpainting.
-
Printmaking: An artistic method involving transferring images from one surface (the matrix) to another. Techniques range from relief printmaking (woodcuts, linocuts), to intaglio (etching, engraving), to planographic (lithography) and stencil methods (screen-printing).
-
Photography: It's the process of creating images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation. Techniques include composition, focusing, aperture control, shutter speed adjustment, and digital editing.
3D Media, Processes and Techniques
-
Sculpture: The process of creating three-dimensional works of art, either by carving materials such as wood or stone (subtractive methods) or creating forms using clay, wax, or other materials that can be added together (additive methods). Casting is a common method for creating duplicates of a sculpture.
-
Ceramics: It involves creating objects from clay and other raw materials through techniques like slab building, pinching, coil building, and wheel throwing, followed by firing in a kiln.
-
Metalwork: An art form involving the creation of objects with metal. Techniques include forging, soldering, riveting, and welding.
-
Textile Art: This is the process of creating artworks with natural or synthetic fibre. Techniques include weaving, knitting, crocheting, stitching, and dyeing.
The choice of media and techniques will depend on the intended outcome, resources available, and time constraints. Ensure to explore both traditional and contemporary practices to widen your understanding and application of 2D and 3D processes.
