Guide Card 1
Elements of Art

 Line refers to the ingredient of art created from a point in motion through space
(which is what a line actually is). Lines are one of the fundamental components
of art, and can be thick or thin, two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and even
physical or implied.
 Shape is the next element of art, describing the outline of an object or color
within physical space. The word 'shape' is generally used for two-dimensional
objects (like in a painting), while the physical dimension of three-dimensional
objects is known as form.
 Color is a very important ingredient of visual art, describing the way that various
parts of the composition interact with the visible spectrum of light. Colors range
from white to black, and include all the hues in between.
 Value is the lightness and darkness of parts of the composition in relation to
each other.
 Texture refers to the actual physical qualities of the art (is it soft, hard, etc.), as
well as any implied physical qualities (like in a picture of sandpaper).

Guide Card 2
What is a principle of art?
A set of criteria which are used to explain how the visual elements are arranged in a
work of art.

1. Movement- the principle of good design which gives the

artist control
over what the viewer sees next. Using this principle, the
artist can creates the path our eyes will travel as we look at a
work of art.
Frederick Judd Waugh,
Breaking Surf
2. Balance - is concerned with the visual distribution or
weight of the elements in a work of art.

Efim Volkov, Seascape, 1895

3.Emphasis - a way of using elements to stress a certain
area in an artwork.

George Henry, River

Landscape By Moonlight, 1887

4. Harmony - how well all the visual elements work together in

a work of art.

Claude Monet, Water Lilies,

1908

5. Unity - refers to some kind of connection between all the

visual elements in a work of art.

George Henry, Noon, 1885

6.Variety – refers to the use of differing qualities or instances
of the visual elements.

Tom Thomson, Maple

Saplings, 1917
7. Proportion - concerns the relationship between the sizes
of different parts in an artwork.
.

Giovanni Boldini, A Guitar

Player, 1873
Guide Card 3
Functions of art can be classified as:
1. Non- motivated – the non-motivated purposes of art are those that are integral to
being human, transcend the individual, or do not fill a specific external purpose.In this
sense, art, as creativity, is something humans must do by their very nature and is
therefore beyond utility.
a. Basic human instinct for harmony, balance, and rhythm. Art at this level is
not an action or an object, but an internal appreciation of balance and harmony.
b. Expression of the imagination. Unlike words which come in sequences and
each of which have definite meaning, art provides a range of forms, symbols and ideas
with meanings that are malleable.
c. Experience of the mysterious. Art provides a way to experience one’s self in
relation to the universe.
d. Ritualistic and symbolic functions. In many cultures, art is used in rituals,
performances and dances as a decoration or symbol.
2. Motivated – refers to intentional, conscious actions on the part of the artists or
creator.
a. Communication. Art, as its simplest, is a form of communication. Illustrative
arts such as scientific illustration are a form of art as communication.
b. Art as entertainment. Art may seek to bring about a particular emotion or mood, for
the purpose or relaxing or entertaining the viewer.
c. The Avante-Garde art for political change. Art movements that had this goal-
Dadaism, Surrealism, Russian constructivism and Abstract Expressionism, among
others- are collectively referred to as the avante-garde arts.
d. Art as a “Free zone”. Contemporary arts has enhanced its tolerance towards
cultural differences as well as its critical and liberating functions becoming a more
open place for research and experimentation.
e. Art for social inquiry, subversion and/or anarchy. Art may seek to question aspects
of society with any specific political goal. In this case, the function of art maybe simply
to criticize some aspect of society.
f. Art for social causes. Art can be used to raise awareness for a large variety of
causes.
g. Art for psychological and healing purposes. Art is also used by art therapists,
psychotherapists and clinical psychologists as art therapy.
h. Art for propaganda or commercialism. Art subtly manipulates the viewer into a
particular emotional or psychological response toward a particular idea or object.
