 IV.B. WHAT’S NEW?
Medium refers to the different materials or supplies that an artist utilizes in order
to create a work of art.

Artwork Usage and Mediums during ancient, classical and medieval periods
are actually very diverse. Mainly started from the earliest medium found by the
primitive people, to the advance civilization they have in their culture or tradition in
the late periods of this time. Making marks or artworks in stones, ivory from elephant
tusk, pigments (in combinations of soil, animal fat, burnt charcoal and chalk in basic
palette of red, yellow, brown, black and white), oil, wax, wood, and other early
materials are for purposely their needs and survival; later it was gradually change
through time; instead, for expression of devotion, religion, beautification and
symbolization. From painted caves to decorating churches using glass and light from
the sun; carving limestones to huge rocks to represent or symbolizes gods and create
beautiful vase to exuberant churches.
Artworks eventually evolved to its modernization by its civilization as culture
adopts and exposes to other traditions through time. It navigated different
techniques, ways and usage.

PAINTINGS
Here are some remarkable early ways and techniques of painting from different
periods:

Pre-Historic Era
Their art markings or paintings in caves made historians and anthropologist
interested in studying and understanding early human life as clues – along with fossils
and relics found. It may have been their way of communicating with each other. It
may also be for religious or ceremonial purpose.

Classical Era (Egyptian, Greek and Roman Era)

Egyptian Era
Their paintings mostly are for their deceased loved-one such as a Pharaoh.
Making their afterlife a pleasant place. Emphasizing the importance of life after
death and the preservation of the knowledge of the past.

Greek Era
Most of their paintings commonly found in vases, panels and tomb. They
depict natural figures of their mythological beliefs and battle scenes and everyday
scenes. Most common methods of Greek Painting: (1) Fresco is a water-based
pigment (tempera) method of painting, freshly applied plaster usually on a wall
surface. Colors are made of ground powder pigments mixed in pure water, dried,
and set with plaster to become permanent part of the wall. (2) Encaustic is
developed by Greek ship builders, used hot wax to fill the cracks of the ship. Pigments
(colors) were added and used to paint a wax hull. (3) Kerch Style is a vase painting
method, referred as Kersh Vases that are red, figured pottery named after the place
it was found; such as: pelike (wine container); lekanis (a low bowl with two horizontal
handles; lebes gamikos (with high handlesand lid use to carry bridal bath); krater
9
(bowl use for mixing wine and water). (4) Panel Painting are flat panels of wood, that
can be small, single-pieced or several panels joined together. (5) Tomb/Wall Painting
uses the method of fresco with tempera (water-based) or encaustic (wax) in a
limestone mortar.

Roman Era
Most of paintings in this era were imitated from Hellenic Greek paintings, in
Fresco technique in brightly colored backgrounds, division of the wall into a multiple
rectangular area (tic-tac-toe design) multi-point perspective. Mosaic is an art
process where an image is created using an assemblage of small pieces of colored
glass, stones, or other materials.

Medieval Era (Byzantine Era, Romanesque Era and Gothic Era)

Byzantine Era
Most of the paintings are influenced by a Byzantium (former name of Istanbul)
power, depicting devious and surreptitious manner of operation but in time for
Christian subjects mostly in mosaic form of painting.

Romanesque Era
Most of paintings are influenced by Mozarabic (Arabize Influence) where
elongated oval faces are evident. With large staring eyes and long noses, figures
against flat colored bands and heavy outlining. Mostly found in the walls of churches.

Gothic Era
Most of the paintings are confined in the illumination such as stained glass;
created to transform the vast stone interiors with warm and glowing color at the
same time.
SCULPTURES
During ancient, classical and medieval period are formed or carved in mythological
or religious significance, sometimes presented in symbolic gestures especially in
tombs and does have a realistic proportion of human anatomy.

ARCHITECTURE
Pre-Historic Era
Early architecture is from a stone formation such as: Mehnhir a huge stone
standing stone vertically on the ground. Dolmens which means “stone table”,
structures in a from of table consisting two stones. Cromlech is a Brythonic word that
means crom means “bent” or “curved” and lech means “slab” or flagstones. Literally
it is a circle of standing stones.

Classical Era (Egyptian, Greek and Roman Era)

Pyramids of Giza are the funerary structures of the three kings of the fourth dynasty
(2575 to 2465 BC) Khufu (Cheops) whom the Great Pyramid is attributed; Khafa
(Chepren) whom the pyramid next to Great Pyramid is attributed; and the smallest is
attributed to Menkaura (Mycerinus).

10
Mastaba is a type of Egyptian tomb in the form of flat-roofed, rectangular structure
with outward sloping sides. In Roman times, they built sturdy stones structures to
perpetuate their glory. Emperors erected huge hall and arenas for public games,
baths and processions, with gigantic arches of stone, bricks and concrete or with
barrel vaults.

Medieval Era (Byzantine Era, Romanesque Era and Gothic Era)

In Byzantine Era, architectural structures are mostly Christian Churches, with much of
Mosaic decorations. Romanesque times made churches grand sculptured portals
with wood or metal doors that are surrounded by elaborate stone sculptures
arranged in zones to fit architectural elements. Gothic Era have pointed arches and
much higher ceiling vaults and stone vaulting borne on a network of stone ribs
supported by piers and clustered pillars. It is a much of a castellation design.
