 uses metal, wood, stone, clay, and glass.
Sculptures fall within the category of “three-
dimensional” arts because they occupy space
and have volume.
 Pottery is a form of sculpture.

The Architect

acrylic, ink, etc.) on
a usually flat ground (wood,
canvas, paper, stone wall such
as cave paintings.)
The Print
maker
 uses ink printed or transferred on a surface (wood,
metal plates, or silk screen) that is keeping with a
duplicating or reproducing process.
 Prints and paintings are further classified as “two-
dimensional” arts, because they include the surface or
ground on which coloring substances are applied.
 However, while paintings are unique and one-of-a
kind, prints can be reproduced in several pre
determined editions.
The Musician
 uses sound and instruments
(including human voice), while the
dancers use the body.
 A T’boli chanter sings creation
stories in a way that is different from
a classical singer or pop music
influenced by the Western music

visual, musical, dance and other
aspects to come together
as a whole work

 use the camera to record the outside world.
 The filmmaker uses the cinematographic camera
to record and put together production design,

eliminating the need for celluloid or negatives,
processing chemicals, or print.
