PART 1
Production planning is all about creating a guide before starting production. In this way, it is way easier to do the
production when you have a guide ready for you. Production planning utilizes the resources that can be used later. The
specific procedures will let the producer have control over what is happening on the set.
Most artworks we know are paintings, sculptures, and music compositions. Art is manifested in different forms, in
singing, dancing, and acting, and could be seen in day-to-day lives. There are different procedures and concepts that is
needed and it is not something new to what artist do in producing artwork.
SUBJECT
According to Sandagan and Sayseng (2016), subject refers to anything represented in an artwork. It can be an object,
person scenery, colors and etc. even though the subject can be the center of art some masterpieces do not have
subjects.
When we are talking about subjects, there are two types of art. Arts that have subjects are called Representational or
Objective Arts. These arts present stories, images, representations, symbols, etc. Examples are graphic arts, literature,
sculpture, painting, and theater arts. While artworks without subjects are called Non-Representational or Non-
Objective Arts. These arts attract straight through the senses. Examples are musical arrangement, architecture,
weaving, and other functional art.
MEDIUM
Medium refers to the materials used in an artwork. It is the instrument of every artist to convey a message in an artistic
manner. It can be colored and brushers for a painter; sounds for a musician; movements of the body for an actress or
dancer; it can also be the words for every writer; wood or clay for a sculptor. When creating art, it does not mean an
artist should have an expensive medium for creating a masterpiece, it can be anything available. As long as it can
conveys the artists’ message it can be used.
FORM
Form refers to the physical characteristics of art. It is about the utilization of the elements of art such as line, shape,
form, space, color, value, and texture. And these elements are arranged based on the principles of design in creating a
masterpiece.
STEPS IN PLANNING

assessment methods.
6. Implementation of plans - Execution of plan.
7. Review process - Plans made must undergo periodic review to assess progress.
