Element of Art Definition and Example of Art forms Line In the visual arts, it refers to the quality of the line, weather thin, broken, thie, ‘or blended, among others. When several lines come tagether, they create texture. | Ror evample, those entering the UP. DILIMAN campus from the University Avenue will be welcomed halfway through the diagonal lines of the “waiting sheds” of the University Gateway, ca. 1960 sculpture of National Artist Napoleon Abueva. The long approach | through University Avenue emphasizes the distinetion of zones. : ‘Color Tt is associated with our experiences of cold and warmth, and the quality of light in our tropical environment, the cycles of hight and day, af darkness and light, (One ofits aspects is Hue, which has to do with how light waves of various lengths and rapidity of vibrations bounce | off objects and enter our eyes. Hues vary in saturation, intensity, oF brilliance, Another aspect, value or tone, refers to Hue’s brightness or darkness. Visual artists use colors in different ways, depending on their styles and | preferences, Some artists use color as A‘representational clement, intending '0 depict the world as accurately a possible. Porteaits approximate skin tone and eolor; landscape and still life depict actual conditions of the environment through shading, the play of light and dark or chiaroscuro. Most contemporary and modern artists: ‘are more personal and expressionists in their use of color. In the River of Life, 1954, modern artist Gallo Ocampo colored the bodies, the trees, and the carth very differently and intensely, creating a desolate, nightmarish landscape that conveys his idea of extreme suffering in a depleted world Value It refers to gradations of tone from light to dark. In representational paintings, it is shading, blending, and chiaroscuro. Non-representational use of value is also Useful in black and white photography where images were given unique character and meaning. But can also be useful in documentations, as in black and white I.D. photos ar reportage Practices like journalism. Texture | Shape) naaERERSREial It refers (o how objects and surfaces feel, and it is most associated with the sense of touch or tactility. Textures are created when several lines were combined. The combination may be described as ‘smooth, translucent, fine, satiny, velvety, sandy, fury, feathery, slimy, rough, rugged, thick, thin, and so on. For example, in weaving, the barong, and ‘saya fabrics that are translucent and delicate in texture. It refers to forms that are two- dimensional (shape exist as planes having length and width) or three- dimensional (shapes possess length, ‘width, and volume) Shapes can either be ‘geometric (rectilinear or curvilinear) biomorphic (free inventions) 8Stylized and abstract shapes can be seen in local textiles like binakol by the ‘Tinggians of Abra. In wood carving, the Maranao okir features the sarimanok.In paintings the Stations of the Cross by the National Artist Vicente Manansala that features transparent planes, a style associated with the artist, ‘Composition in Space Movement It involves the relationship between figures and elements, It also refers to how these elements are organized and ‘composed according to principles of organization, among them balance, proportion, rhythm, unity in variety, dominance, and subordination. National Artist Guillermo Tolentino’s Bonifacio Monument, 1953 in Caloocan has a circular composition, fitted for its position at the center of a busy rotunda where principal streets converged. On the other hand, the Oblation, bronze cast, 1958 is located at the end of a long University Avenue, the ‘entrance to the University of the Philippines Diliman. It may occur in two-dimensional design as rhythm or through the recurrence of motifs, their alternation or progression ‘unfolding in a series. Movement is also very much related to the line and the direction of the eye. Carlos Francisco's mural Filipino ‘Struggles through History, 1964 that shows a sense of forwarding movement that captures the fervor and energy of the Revolution.PRINCIPLES OF ART: Balance, emphasis, movement, propartion, rythm, wnlty, find variety; the means an artist uses to orga ments within a work of art. 1, Rhythm - A principle of design that indicates movement, created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to cause & visual tempo or beat Balance - A way of combining elements to add a feeling of equilibrium OF stability fo a work of art, Mejor Wee ‘symmetrical and asymmetrica 2. Emphasis (contrast) - A way of combining elements to stress the cen those elements. Proportion - A principle of design that refers to the + ertain elements to the whole and each other. 5, Gradation - A way of combining elements by using a serics of gradual changes in those elements. (large shapes to small shapes, dark hue to light hue, ete) 6.

All works of art, whether traditional, modern, or Contemporary, need to be experienced at the level of the senses, emotions, and the mind. Theec forms ask us to see more, hear more, taste, smell, and feel more. In the pracess, we gain insights peculiar to the intensity and character of what we encounter through the arts. jationship of
