PREFACE

Our Dear Learners,

Welcome to your Self-Learning Modules or SLM. This serves as your learning

roadmap at home.

SLM is a collection of modules that would help you learn new concepts and skills
that you are supposed to discover in your own classrooms. Each module provides
content that would help you learn and comprehend the topic at hand. The topics are
strategically divided into discrete units that would allow you to learn one concept at time.
It also includes both traditional and authentic assessment that are designed for remote-
learning setup.

In addition to the comprehensive discussion and varied activities. SLM also includes
activities that address real-life application of the different theories and concepts learned
in the module. These activities hone our creative-thinking, problem-solving, critical-
thinking, and decision-making skills.

At this point, SLM could help continue learning essential concepts at your own
pace and at the comfort of your own home. It could help you continue with your studies
without missing a lesson despite our current situation.

Stay safe everyone and let us make the most out of our learning experience at
home.

 SKETCH OF THE FILIPINO
HERITAGE

I. INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTIONS

Art is all around us. It is the dress we wear for special occasions. It is the
pair of running shoes we have on. All functional design, well done, is art. And where
does it all start? It starts with a line.
The line is the very first of the seven components that make up the elements of
art. The elements of art are the expressions through which artists communicate their
ideas and emotions.

After finishing the module, you should be able to answer this question:
 What are some examples of cultural treasures that relate to Philippine
History?

II. OBJECTIVE
 Identify the different elements of art, principles of design and the different
kinds of lines involved in the making of a picture.
 Explain the importance of artifacts.
 Create different likenesses of artifacts and architectural structures of the
Philippines or in their locality using the crosshatching technique.

Activity 1
Direction: Encircle the letter of the correct answer.

1. How many elements of art are there?

a. five b. six c. seven d. eight

2. How many principles of design are there?

a. five b. six c. seven d. eight

3. What are three basic kinds of line?

a. static, dynamic and diagonal
b. vertical, horizontal and zigzag
c. straight, curved and zigzag
d. straight, dynamic and zigzag

4. How do the principles of design make an artwork more effective?

a. The principles measure how much of elements to use.
b. The principles of design are not needed at all.
c. The principles of design organize the elements well.
d. The principles of design paint them well.

III. LESSON PROPER

There are three main kinds of line. These are straight, curved, and zigzag. All
of these are used in artworks but each means something when used in a picture. These
lines represent emotions or moods. A straight vertical line characterizes dignifies,
formal, and stable persona. A horizontally positioned line represents peace,
calmness, quietness, and rest. A diagonally positioned line models movement and
activity. A curved line imitates activity but in a more fluid and graceful manner, much
like a dancer. A zigzag line depicts confusion, tension, even excitement. These lines

Arts 5. Module 2
 may be represented as either static or dynamic lines. A static line depicts an object at
rest while a dynamic line represents motion.

Principles of Design
Lines and other elements of art are not enough to make an
artwork effective. These elements need principles of design to
organize them into a more attractive and impressive artwork. There
are seven principles of design that work hand in hand with the
elements of art. The principles are: balance, contrast, emphasis,
harmony, proportion, rhythm and variety. Balance in an artwork
is very much related to the principles harmony and proportion.

We have learned earlier that lines convey meaning or feeling. Example of Contour Line
These lines, when drawn, extract a certain mood from the one who
is viewing the artwork. This element gives a picture a beginning or a
point of origin for the artist’s story or message:

Lines are used in an artwork to give an object a more

realistic affect when viewed. How do lines contribute to the picture?

Lines are not only used to draw objects. Lines add effect
when used in certain ways. Lines are used to created dimension to
an otherwise flat plane. They are utilized to recreate form on an
object in a drawing. This is done through contour lines. Contour
lines follow the shape of an object and soften its edges. The
outline traces the silhouette of the object to emphasize it. Example of Hatching

A way to improve the three-dimensional qualities of an object

is through the use of more lines. There are two methods to
accomplish this feat. One method is called hatching. Hatching is
achieved with several parallel lines drawn horizontally and closely
together to create tonal effect.

When parallel lines intersect with vertical lines in a crisscross Example of Cross
manner, the method is called crosshatching. This method is also Hatching
very effective in creating an illusionary three dimensional tonal
effect.
To create a pleasing artwork, the elements mentioned are not enough. Two principles of
.
design are emphasized in these activities- balance and rhythm. Balance is either symmetrical
or asymmetrical. Symmetrical or formal balance is achieved through the equal distribution of
weight or elements on two sides of a picture to achieve a mirror image. Asymmetrical or
informal balance is achieved when one side has different elements but equal in weight to
other side. On the other hand, rhythm is achieved through repetition of visual elements in the
picture. Both balance and rhythm are used to create equilibrium in picture

Balance in Art Manunggul Jar Tonal Effect

Arts 5. Module 2
 Hatching and crosshatching can best be composed
when the tonal value or effect is correctly applied. Tonal
effect or value can be properly done when observing the
effect of a light source on an object. The application of the
tonal effect on an object may have six layers or levels. It
begins from lightest then lighter, light, dark, darker, darkest.
Commence from where the light is brightest and add a series
of lines, going toward the darkest (see the picture; tonal
effect). Hatching and crosshatching may also be used to
create depth and effect when showing different architectural
sites like the bahay kubo, torogan, or even churches in the
archipelago.
Activity 1
Direction: In a long bond paper, draw a figure or object with the lines stated, then
identify if it is static or dynamic.

1. curved diagonal line

2. straight horizontal line
c. vertical zigzag line

Activity 2
Direction: Practice hatching and cross hatching. Use the two jars below to differentiate
the two methods. Imagine a light source from the upper left corner of each object.
Use a pencil only.

Tip: When doing hatching or crosshatching, it is important to follow the shape of

the object. Curve your lines!

Arts 5. Module 2
 Activity 3
The Manunggul Jar is a cultural treasure found in the Manunggul Cave in Lipuun
point in Palawan. It dates from 890 to 710 BC. It is a Neolithic secondary burial jar. A
secondary burial jar is smaller than the primary one because only the bones are
arranged inside. This jar has two prominent figures at the top handle of its cover that
represents the journey of the soul to the afterlife. It has curvilinear scroll designs and
pointed with natural iron or hematite.

Directions: Use a long bond paper to recreate the Manunggul Jar. Refer to the picture
from previous page to determine the light source and apply tonal effect or value using
crosshatching.
