The Element of

Visual Arts and

Performing
Arts
Art Appreciation
Concepts
● The elements of art consist of
the qualities or properties
inherent in each work of art.
● The elements of visual arts are
line, color, texture,
perspective, space, form,
volume, light and shadow.
● Line can make us know what
the work is about.
● Color refers to the quality or
kind of light that reflects from
the surface of the object.
● Texture is the element that
deals more directly with the
sense of touch.
● Perspective deals with the
effect of distance upon the
appearance of objects, by
means of which the eye judges
spatial relationships
● Space is concerned with making
all parts functional so that all
parts of the work of art will
contribute to make the whole a
complete work of art.
● Form describes the structure
or shape of an object.
● Volume refers to the amount of
light that reflects from the
surface of the object.
● The elements of music are ● Tempo refers to the speed of
rhythm, melody, harmony, a certain musical piece.

tones sounded one after
another in a logical meaningful
series.
● Harmony refers to the manner
of sound combination
wherever we add subordinate
sounds to enhance the quality
of the main sound.
Objectives

 What is Elements?

● It’s a particular part of something. -Merriam Webster

Dictionary
● A part or aspect something abstract, especially one that
is essential or characteristic .
● What happens to the medium after the techniques are
applied.
Elements of
Visual Arts
● The materials the artist use in
creating a work are the mediums and
the elements put together.

07 Volume
Line
Is an important element at the disposal of
the artist. Through the lines of a painting or
sculpture, the artist can make us know what
the work is about. Artist uses lines to
represent figures and forms
TWO
CLASSIFICATIONS
OF LINE
1. STRAIGHT 2. CURVED LINE
LINE
● Crooked or
● Horizontal Jagged
● Vertical

● Diagonal
Straight Line
A straight line is a
basic framework of
many forms, but it
lacks softness and
flexibility.
Horizontal Lines
● Horizontal lines are
found in reclining persons,
in landscape, calm bodies
of water and in the distant
meeting of the earth and
sky which is called horizon.
Application of Horizontal Line in Arts
Vertical Lines
● Are lines that denote action.
● They suggest poise, balance, force,
aspiration, exaltation, and dynamism.
● Vertical lines also tend to express as well as
arouse emotions of exaltation and inquietude.
● The Gothic Cathedrals express the
aforementioned sentiments that possessed the
soul of northern Europe- Middle Ages
 Application of
Vertical Lines in
Arts
Diagonal Lines
● Suggest action, life, and movement.
● Almost every object in action assumes a
diagonal line.
● As masters in any art try to perfect their
technique, they are able to work more or
less instinctively, and they begin to express
themselves more and more through the
freedom, buoyancy, and grace of curved
lines.
Application of Diagonal Line
in Arts
 Crooked or 3 Classifications of
Crooked or Jagged
Jagged lines:
Lines 1. Lines which follow or
repeat one another.
● Express energy,
2. Lines which contrast
violence, conflict,
with one another.
and struggle. 3. Transitional lines
which modify or
soften the effect of
others.
Curved Lines
● Suggest grace, subtleness, direction,
instability, movement, flexibility,
joyousness, and grace.
● The restrained curved lines
exemplified in the woman’s body and
the bamboo stem where according to
Philippine legend, man and woman
sprang by Carlos “Botong” Francisco.
● LINE ● Repetition – it occurs when
two or more lines are drawn within a
corner.
● LINE ● Transitional Lines – modify the
sharpness of vertical and horizontal
lines giving a harmonizing effect.
● LINE – In painting, there should be an
organic unity of lines to produce
balance and symmetry, proportion of
lengths and widths, and rhythm.

02 Color
● Has the most aesthetic appeal of all the
elements of visual arts
● Delight in color is a universal human
characteristic
● Is a property of light
● The light of the sun contains all the colors of
the spectrum: violet, indigo, blue, green,
yellow, orange and red
Example of Colors in Painting, Sculpture,
Architecture
3 Dimensions of Color

● HUE
● INTENSITY
● VALUE
 HUE

● Is the dimension of color that Gives

its name.
● Color names such as red, blue,
green, violet, and yellow.
● Primary Hues – blue, red and
yellow.
● Secondary Hues – orange, green
and violet

This is where you section ends. Duplicate this set of slides as many times you need to go over all your sections.
 VALUE
● Sometimes called chiaroscuro
● Refers to the lightness or darkness
of a color
● It is quality which depends on the
amount of light and dark in color
● They the expression of depth and
solidity and lend form to paintings
 INTENSITY
● Refers to the brightness or darkness
● It gives color strength
● Differences in intensity may be
described as full intensity, two thirds
intensity, and two-thirds neutral
Texture
● During the 19th to 20th centuries, a
high premium was placed on a very
smooth surfaces and forms. A group of
painters including Cezzane, Picasso,
and others emphasized texture by
purposely making portions of the
paitings rough.
● Texture is being used by sculptors, architecture,
paintings and any other forms of art

What is Texture?
- It is a color element that deals more directly with sense of
touch. Each thing you see or touch has a different texture.
Texture is best appreciated when an object is touched with
our hands.
- It is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. Use of
texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a
variety of messages and emotions.
 TWO VARIETIES OF TEXTURE:

04 Perspective
- Deals with the effect of distance upon
the appearance of objects, by means of
which the eye judges spatial
relationships. It enables us to perceive
distance and to see the position of
objects in space. There are two kinds of
perspective: LINEAR PERSPECTIVE AND
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE.
 LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
- is the representation of an appearance of distance by means of
converging lines. The tracks a railroad appear to the viewer as
the seeming to rise and meet in the distance. Linear perspective
involves the direction of lines and the size of objects
 AERIAL PERSPECTIVW
- is the representation of relative distances of objects by
gradations of tone and color. Objects become fainter in the
distance due to the effects to atmosphere. Objects appear to be
lighter in color; distance or into the atmosphere.
05 SPACE
● Encompasses the volume of a structure, the parts of a
building we move through and experience.
● In painting, as in architecture, space is of great
importance. The exterior of a building is seen as it
appears in space. Painting does not deal with space
directly it represents space only on a two-dimensional
surface. Sculpture involves very little space relationship
or perception space.
06 FORM
● Is the mass, or grouping of materials, used to
give a building its shape.
● Form applies to the over-all design of a work
of art. It describes the structure or shape of
an object. Form directs the movements of the
eyes. Since form consists of size volume, it
signifies visual weight. Every kind of form has
its own aesthetic effect, all the visual arts are
concerned with form.
ARCHITECTURE
● Is also concerned with shapes of planes opening and silhouttes of
building forms.
A. Circle: a series of points arranged equally and balanced about a
point.
B. Triangle: a plane figure that is bounded by three sides and
having three (3) angles.
 IRREGULAR FORM
● Are those whose part are
dissimilar and unrelated to one
another. They are generally
assymmetral and dynamic.
● these are regular form which
irregular elements have been
subtracted or on irregular
composition of regular forms.
CENTRELIZED FORMS

● Consist of a number of
secondary forms clustered to
produce a dominant, central,
and parent form.
 LINEAR FORM

● Are arranged sequentially in a

row or a series along a line
 RADIAL FORMS
● Are composition of linear form
that extend outwards form
central form in a radial manner.
 GRID FORMS
● Are modular forms whose relationship
are regulated by 3 dimensional grids. A
grid is two or more intersecting sets of
regularly spaced parallel lines. The
square grid generates a spatial network
of reference points and within this
modular framework any number of form
and spaces can be visually organized
07 VOLUME
WHAT IS VOLUME?

● The term Volume refers to the amount

of space occupied in three Dimension.
It refers to solidarity or thickness.
The sculptor is concerned
with volume because his
figures actually occupy
space and can be observed
from any direction. The
direction of sunlight will
determine the areas of lights
and shadows
What is Color Value
● Color Values describe the degree of
lightness and darkness of a color.
Color values are often presented in
chart or graph to help developers or
others to choose from various
specific shades of color for the
purposes of applying to visual
 What is the Difference between
Tint and Shade in Color

Tint Shade
● A tint is defined as a ● A shades is the
color that has a opposite of a tint. A
lighter value than the shade is a color that
hue of that color. has a darker value
Tints are produced than the original hue
by mixing white into a and is produced by
hue of a color. mixing black with the
hue of the color.

MUSIC DANCE LITERATURE

What is Music?
01
● Music is a collection of coordinated sound
or sounds. Making music is the process of
putting sounds and tones is an order, often
combining them to create a unified MUSIC
composition. Music is made of sounds,
vibrations, and silent moments, and it
doesn’t always have to be pleasant or
pretty. It can be used to convey a whole
range of experiences, environments and
emotions.
