1. What are two types of aspects of arts?

The aspects of arts are the principles of arts. The principles of arts have seven (7) types namely;
Balance, emphasis, movement, proportion, rhythm, unity and variety.

 Balance- A way of combining elements to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to a work


of art. Major types are symmetrical and asymmetrical
 Emphasis- A way of combining elements to stress the differences between those elements.
 Movement- A principle of design used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide
the viewer’s eye throughout the work of art.
 Proportion- A principle of design that refers to the relationship of certain elements to the
whole and to each other.
 Rhythm- A principle of design that indicates movement, created by the careful placement of
repeated elements in a work of art to cause a visual tempo or beat.
 Unity- A way of combining similar elements in an artwork to accent their similarities
(achieved through use of repetitions and subtle gradual changes)
 Variety- A principle of design concerned with diversity or contrast. Variety is achieved by
using different shapes, sizes, and/or colors in a work of art.

2. What are the Sources of subject of Art?

There are two Sources of Subject of Art, the primary and secondary.

 Primary sources provide first- hand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under
investigation. They are created by witnesses or recorders who experienced the events or
conditions being documented. Often these sources are created at the time when the events or
conditions are occurring, but primary sources can also include autobiographies, memoirs and
oral histories recorded later. Primary Sources are characterized by their content, regardless of
whether they are available in original format, in microfilm/microfiche, in digital format or in
published format.
 Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources. Because they are often written
significantly after events by parties not directly involved but who have special expertise, they
may provide historical context or critical perspectives. Secondary sources routinely include
pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources. Depending on the subject, newspaper, and
journal articles can fall into both categories. For example, Paul Goldberger’s architectural review
of the new Citi Field and Yankee Stadium in New York is a primary source because he is
commenting directly on a current event whereas as article surveying the history of New York
City stadiums would be considered a secondary source. However, years from now, scholars
might look to the survey article as a primary example of key evaluator architectural principles.
