Varied forms of 3d arts
Three-dimensional or 3D art comes in varied forms. It could be in the form
of a sculpture, hanging ornament, or structure. Each form has its own style
of presenting 3D art. Some of the popular museums in Manila showcase
3D art The Ayala Museum features Philippine history through handcrafted
dioramas. They also have jars and pottery spanning a thousand years. The
National Museum houses the national treasures found in the country.
While the more contemporary and currently famous Art in Island Museum
features interactive paintings that give an illusion of depth and balance.
These are just some of the museums that could help broaden one's
perspective on what 3D art is all about.
Decorative Mobile
-It is a form of hanging art that displays
not only the decorative ornaments but
the concept of balance as well.
Each ornament is attached to a string that
hangs from a rod or frame.
The weight of the ornaments must be
balanced from all sides in order to hang
nicely.
Decorative Mobile
Alexander Calden, a 20th-century American sculptor, is known to have
been the original creator or the moving Sculpture, which later came to
be known as the mobile.
His works were made with carefully balanced hanging shapes that
moved when touched or hit by air currents. His works were mostly
made or sheet metal, though many modern mobiles today are made
from a variety of materials including glass, metal, paper, and even
bamboo.
Decorative Mobile
Other artists today make use of found objects like old CDs. In this era,
CDs are no longer of use. So instead of discarding them artists have
found ways to put them to good use.
The origami or Japanese art of paper folding, has also been used to
create mobiles. There are desktop mobiles, ceiling mobiles, and wall-
mounted mobiles. They serve not only as a form of decorative art but
as a tool for thinking as well. It is a tool where both young and old
individuals could learn the importance of following simple to complex
instructions.
Paper Craft
Paper craft refers to all three-dimensional artworks and objects made
primarily of paper and cardboard. There are many different techniques used
including folding, gluing, cutting, molding, stitching, and more. Paper craft
are widely known all over the world. Some countries or cultures are
associated with a particular paper craft or art. For example, origami is the
art of paper folding often associated with Japanese culture, while the art of
making paper flowers is said to have originated from China nearly 2,000
years ago. In the Philippines, there are many traditional paper craft
associated with specific provinces, towns, or communities.
Paper Craft
1. The parol is a star lantern found in nearly every
Filipino home during Christmas. Although the
modern-day parol is made of capiz and other
materials. The original parol however, is made of
paper wrapped around a star-shaped frame made of
bamboo. It is said to have originated in the city of San
Fernando in Pampanga. Today, the San Fernando
lantern industry has evolved into the Giant Lantern
Festival celebrated every December The traditional
paper parol, however, still continues to be popular.
Filipino children throughout the country learn to make
one in art class.
Paper Craft
2. Taka is said to have originated in the town of
Paete in Laguna. It is a paper mache that makes
use of a wooden sculpture as mold. The most
popular taka figure is the horse, which comes in
a bright red color, Animals like chicken and
carabao are the most popular taka figures.
However, Christmas figures have become
increasingly popular over the years and Santa
Claus, reindeer, and cherub figures are now
much in demand locally and abroad.
Paper Craft
3. The popular Masskara Festival held in
Bacolod every October 1s highlighted by
a street parade in which participants
wear elaborate smiling masks fashioned
out of papier mâché and adorned with
colorful beads, sequins, glitters, and
feathers Since the festival began in 1986,
mask making has become a folk art in
Bacolod practiced by local artisans.
Paper Craft
4. Another popular Philippine fiesta is the
Moriones Festival in Marinduque, which
also makes use of paper mâché to produce
masks of bearded, fierce-looking Roman
soldiers. The festival is held every year
during Holy Week. The masks are formed,
shaped, and dried before being painted
and embel lished with feathers. This, too,
has become a folk art among the people of
Marinduque.
Burnay
In Vigan, Ilocos Sur, making burnay (clay
jar) is a folk art that has been in
existence for many years. Burnay making
or pagburnayan was started by the
Chinese families living in Vigan centuries
ago before the arrival of the Spanish
colonizers. Burnay jars are
distinguishable from other clay jars for
they are black, thick, and heavy. They are
very durable and do not easily break.
Burnay
The locals or the villagers make use of burnay jars to ferment Vinegar, nata
de coco (coconut jelly), sugar cane wine, and fish sauce. Burnay jars just
like any other stoneware in the country, are made out of clay. However,
the variety of clay used for making Burnay jars are of grade A quality,
widely available in the western area of Vigan. Chunks of clay are air dried
for several days then powdered. After that, the makers will let smoke run
through the clay (to make it "black" once baked). Then, it will be mixed
with the right amount of water until it is ready for kneading. Fine sand is
used as tempering material to achieve the desired shape. Once the form is
molded, it will be fired and baked at very high temperature in a huge brick-
and-clay ground kiln, which will make it hard and durable.
