Lesson 1 ART & DESIGN
LESSON At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
OBJECTIVES
 Identify the principles of design

 Define and translate principles of design in an artwork

 Create an artwork depicting the various principle of design

Based on your understanding, write your prior knowledge on Principles of Art and Design.
Balance, rhythm, pattern, emphasis, contrast, harmony, and movement are the seven principles of
art and design. Use art and design elements such as line, shape/form, space, value, color, and texture to
create a cohesive composition. Visual artists use art and design elements as instruments.
 Since you already learned about the
different principles use in Art and Design.
Create your own piece choosing 2, among
all principles to be applied in your own
work of art.

Shape Up Your Mind

1. Why are principles of art and design very important?

The principles of art allow one to have some logical reasons for why a great painting is great. This is
critical because it prevents us from falling into a void in which art can no longer be described or critiqued
(much like what has happened with modern art).
2. Differentiate harmony from contrast

Harmony is an art principle that emphasizes the similarities of separate but related parts to create
cohesiveness. More precisely, harmony uses the elements of art such as color, line, shape, form, value,
space, texture as a medium to create a sense of togetherness among otherwise separate parts. Contrast, on
the other hand, refers to the arrangement of opposing elements and results. Bright and dark colors, smooth
and rough textures, and big and small shapes are only a few examples.

3. How can an artist achieve rhythm in his/her artwork?

Rhythm is typically accomplished by the repetition of lines, forms, colors, and other elements. It gives
artworks a visual pace and a direction for the viewer's eye to follow.
Lesson 2 VARIOUS PLANES IN ART

Since you already learned about the

Various planes in Art . Choose a picture of
your choice that represents the different
art forms coming from Chinese Art,
Japanese Art, Korean Art, and Art in the
Philippines.

Shape Up Your Mind

What is significance of planes in art?
Planes form as shapes rotate. Forms belonging to the same plane have identical values. An artist
creates dimension on a flat surface by keeping values together in a plane. Planes aid in the development of
dimension.

2. How do you read an image of a visual art? There are many approaches to reading visual art, including
paintings, prints, and sculptures. The theme or the more profound, broader sense the work conveys; the
mood, how the work sounds in terms of its atmosphere; and the tone, or how the colors are used, are all
factors that can help you understand art.

3. How can a semiotic and iconic plane art can be achieved?

The fundamental semiotic plane encompasses both the elements and the general. The evaluative
plane considers the work's material foundation to what extent.
4. Briefly describe Western Art and Eastern Art.
'Western Art' is the depiction, in two or three dimensions, of the history, people, scenery, and wildlife of the area
confined to North America's western regions, in a highly realistic or realistic impressionist style, and is inextricably
linked to the culture of the American West. Meanwhile, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, and paintings from the Islamic
Middle East, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, India, and the Himalayas can be found in the Eastern Art Department.

Lesson 3 VARIOUS ARTS Movements

Since you already learned about the

Various MOVEMENTS in Art . Gather data
or information concerning the different art
movement. Choose only 2 among the art
movements you will discuss, by following
the basis:
1. Characteristic 2. Historical Background 3.Socio
-
political issues 4. Followers of the movement

Shape Up Your
Mind
1. What is the significance of an art
movement to an artist and to you as a
student?
Art movements are important to an artist
and me because they are part of a broader
zeitgeist within their particular generation
of practitioners, exchanging mutual
intellectual agendas, rationales, and
governing dynamics.
 2. Compare Chinese and Japanese painting. In what way are they similar and different?
While both Chinese and Japanese art have lighter colors and hues, they are both lighter than western paintings.
It's because the oriental used ink and the westerners used color. Subjects and themes in Japanese art tend to be more
diverse and complex than in Chinese art.
3. Compare the ancient Greek art and the Modern Greek art. What are their similarities and differences?
The emergence of naturalistic yet idealized representations of the human body in which mostly naked male
figures were typically the object of creativity distinguishes Greek art from that of other ancient cultures. Modern
Greek art is described as art created between the establishment of the new independent Greek state and the
twentieth century. The Cretan School of art, and especially the Heptanese School of art, are two typical examples of
Greek artistic movements that followed parallel routes to Western Europe.
4. What is Mannerism Period?
Mannerism, also known as the Late Renaissance, is regarded as a transitional era between the High Renaissance
and the Baroque period, which embraced the subset's ornate style and adapted it as an extravagance. Mannerism is a
fashion trend that began in 1530 and continued until the end of the century.
5. Why is the art called “cave” art?
Cave art refers to the art of Paleolithic humans as depicted by drawings and paintings on cave walls.

Activity 1

Japanese Art Painting Movement

Japanese-style or nihonga painting continues in the prewar tradition, updating conventional
expressions while maintaining their inherent character. Some artists in this style continue to paint on
silk or paper with conventional colors and ink, while others experiment with new materials, such as
acrylics. Long verandas and numerous sliding panels provided endless vistas of nature, though nature
was most carefully designed and fabricated rather than wild and genuine. As a result, the perfectly
shaped work of art or architecture, unweathered and pristine, came to be seen as remote, cold, and
even grotesque. Some followers of the Japanese painting movement are Kanō Sanraku, Kanō Tan'yū,
Tawaraya Sōtatsu, Tosa Mitsuoki, and many others from different periods.
Renaissance Art Movement
The Renaissance was an era in European history that spanned the 15th and 16th centuries, marking the
transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. It arose after the Late Middle Ages Crisis and was
associated with significant social change. In a nutshell, the Italian Renaissance re-established Western
art according to the principles of classical Greek art, especially Greek sculpture, and painting, which
provided much of the foundation for the Grand Tour and remained unrivaled until Pablo Picasso and
Cubism.
In their quest for a new collection of artistic ideals and an answer to the courtly International Gothic
style, Italian artists and thinkers were influenced by the ideas and forms of ancient Greece and Rome
beginning in the early 14th century. This was perfectly in line with their desire to create a universal,
even noble, type of art capable of expressing the times' new and more optimistic mood. Renaissance
art can be traced back to Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. During the so-called "proto-
Renaissance" era (1280-1400), Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as rediscovering the values
and accomplishments of classical Roman culture. On the other hand, Governments during the
Renaissance were concerned with reducing the influence of religion on their society's economy and
politics. As a result, wealth started to have a more significant influence on politics, as shown by the
Medici family, who amassed vast fortunes and used them to fund cultural and political activities.
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello are some of the most famous Renaissance
artists. These four great artists are the most well-known maestro (masters) of the Renaissance period,
as popularized in modern times by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' homage. Admire and admire
their exquisite artistry, which has been preserved throughout the years.

Lesson 4 Concept of Soul making

Based on your understanding, write your prior knowledge on SOUL MAKING.
Soul making is a type of storytelling that involves transforming brief moments into images and symbols in
order to communicate with people, understand culture, and embody tolerance, harmony, and creativity. It
is similar to how creativity plays a significant role in art creation.

List the ways on how to encourage creative

play and learning in the natural
environments. Draw a schematic diagram
on how these are to be performed.

A. How to encourage creative play in Natural Environment

1. Giving the child plenty of time
2. Giving the child materials to play
3. Giving the child space to discover
4. Using natural materials to encourage the child's imaginative play
5. Boosting the child's self-esteem by descriptive appreciation for his or her creative activities
B. How to encourage Effective Learning in the Natural Environment?
1. Addressing a child’s needs
2. Celebrating a child’s success
3. Avoid judging
4. Building games and activities
5. Avoid rewarding to control

CREATE AN ESSAY CONSISTING OF 150

-300 WORDS WITH A TOPIC
:

“I AM A SOUL MAKER”
Soul-making occurs when we experience life profoundly and learn by heart the lessons expected from all
of the disagreements and challenges we encounter here. We are put in this earthly setting, with all of its
inconsistencies and oppositions, so that our soul's eternal path does not have all green lights. Along the way,
there are some yellow and red lights, followed by green lights. Creating an identity can be a very perplexing
process. Knowing who we are is not supposed to be straightforward. This is also why we make art in
various forms, such as painting, music, dancing, films, and many others. To be honest, I am not an artist, but
two things make me a soul maker.
First is my love for art, especially music and films. Second, I love learning and sharing the knowledge I get
from these. And I love reading and watching reviews because it broadens my insights into reading,
watching, and listening. As I was writing this, I am pondering whether this affects my own perspective, and
yes, it did, but I guess in a good way. Knowing diverse opinions and discovering deeper meanings behind a
particular content's context makes me realize how certain I am to what I believed and how different and
similar my views are to others. It also widens my creativity. I am inspired by the ideas and perspectives of
other people, which makes me wanna engage and make art, although it takes some time because I need
more practice. I am happy to bestow what I learned either from myself or from other people. Thus, I am a
soul maker.

 Shape Up Your Mind
1. What is appropriation in art? How is this being achieved?
In art and art history, appropriation refers to the phenomenon of artists using pre-existing objects
or images in their work with little to no transformation of the original.
2. How does appropriation in art differ from copying art?
To "appropriate" anything means to take ownership of it. Appropriation artists intentionally steal
images in order to claim ownership of them in their work. They are not copying or plagiarizing, and
they are not claiming these pictures as their own.
3. Is appropriation of art legal and ethical?

Appropriation art integrates images and ideas from popular culture, advertisements, mass media,
and other artists into new works of art. However, in terms of intellectual property law, appropriating
protected works without permission from the author is clearly a form of theft.

4. When is an art need to be appropriated?

There is no exact time when a person can appropriate an art; it depends on a person when and how
he/she will use art to appropriate.

5. Are you in favor or against appropriating arts? Why or Why not?

Appropriation in art is rarely about cheating or failing to value authorship, and it is not a sign of
laziness. Most artists who appropriate (also known as "sample" or "remix") do so because they are
interested in how existing images or sounds can be used to create new works that link back to the
original work while creating a new cultural artifact. We, humans, are often influenced by what we
appreciate in other cultures, and as a result, we frequently adopt some characteristic or feature of the
culture encountered. Thus, I am not against it.
