Art Categories:

  • Painting (Two-dimensional artworks created by applying dyes and pigments with a binder, usually using a brush, to a surface (canvas, paper, wood, plastic, glass, metal, plaster, and other).

  • Drawing, calligraphy, printmaking (Two-dimensional artworks made by drawing onto a surface (paper, wood, glass, metal, plastic, fabric, and other), including drawings that have been reproduced and/or further elaborated through printmaking techniques (i.e. engraving, intaglio, etching, aquatint, and other). Pen-and-ink calligraphic works are also included in this category)

  • Installation Art (Constructions, assemblages, and/or settings that can be conceived as site-specific, environmental, ephemeral, or permanent installations made with different media, including digital media. An installation is meant to be an artwork as a whole offering sensorial, emotional, and/or cognitive experience to the audience, rather than a display of separate, individual pieces of work.)

  • Ceramic Art (Two-dimensional and three-dimensional works made of fired clay, with or without paint firing and/or glazing. Proficiency in ceramic techniques prevails in the creative process of the works in this category.)

  • Mixed Media (Almost two-dimensional artworks made with different media by applying different materials and/or objects onto a surface (i.e., collages, mosaics, stained glass, sand compositions, and others).

  • Digital Art (Works of art produced using digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process to obtain digital images, animation, visual and/or sound effects, and others. Digital art images can produced using 2D and 3D computer graphics; taken from other sources (i.e., scanned photographs) and processed; computer generated; or combining different digital technologies and media. Virtual, and Augmented Reality Art projects belong to this category.)

  • Performance art (Creative projects for the realization of which the artist uses their own body as a medium, and performs an action or series of actions which become the artwork. The performance can be filmed and presented as a video. Body art, action painting, intermedia, and happenings, for instance, shall be included in this category. Unless a digital art component prevails, the same applies to interactive projects.)

  • Photography (Photographs taken with either analog or digital cameras and/or other equipment, printed on any kind of surface. All kinds of mount are acceptable, including lightbox.)

  • Sculpture (Three-dimensional works, including reliefs, made sculpting, carving, or chiseling any material such as stone, wood, and other. Moulded works made with different materials such as wax, papier maché, clay, and others. Casts, metal sculptures, and 3D prints. Three-dimensional works, including kinetic sculptures, made by assembling or otherwise combining one or more materials and/or objects.

  • Textile & Fiber Art (Two-dimensional and three-dimensional works made with traditional and/or innovative textile materials and techniques, which should represent the most salient aspect of the work. This category includes works such as tapestries, carpets, embroideries, patchworks, forms created by moulding, stitching and/or otherwise processing fabric, and/or felt, and/or fibers either with or without painting.)
