ARTS
QUARTER 2 – MODULE 2
MELCs:
 Analyzes elements and principles of art in the
production of one’s arts and crafts inspired by the
arts of MIMAROPA and Visayas; and
 Appreciates the artifacts and art objects in terms of
its utilization and its distinct use of art elements
and principles.
I – A. INTRODUCTION
In this second module for the second quarter, you will understand how lines, shapes, forms, value,
color, texture, and space add more meaning and significance to an artwork. This will help you understandthe
processes in art and its impact to you as an individual.
After going through this module, you are expected to analyze the elements and principles of art in the
production of one’s arts and crafts inspired by the arts of MIMAROPA and the Visayas.

B. DISCUSSION
Understanding and applying the building blocks of art (or the elements and principles of art as they
are often called) is what takes an artist from beginner to master.
In order to understand, deftly critique, and practice your chosen art form, you need to know the key
concepts that it is built upon. Familiarity with elements of art like color and line and principles of art
(proportion, rhythm, and contrast among others) is what gives artists that fluency. Now, let’s discuss on the
elements and principles of art.
ELEMENTS OF ART
Color
A three-pronged element of art: hue, value and intensity.
Hue is the color itself.

Value is the hue’s lightness or darkness and changes when white or black is added to it.

Intensity is the aspect of brightness and purity of a color. High intensity colors are bold and
bright. Low intensity colors are faint and duller.

Form
It is the element of art that renders a three-dimensional form in two dimensions. In a
lot of ways, it is the heart of an art object — the form itself. It can enclose a volume
and includes height, width and depth.

Line
Marks made on a surface are known as line. They start at a point and move along, creating
space as they go.

Shape
The element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited d to height and width. Usually
a shape is enclosed.

1
Space
Space is the element of art through which both positive and negative areas are defined
or a sense of depth is achieved in a work of art.

Texture
This aspect of art defines the way an art object or an element in a composition feels or
looks as if it would feel if touched.

PRINCIPLES OF ART
Rhythm
This principle of art describes the movement in or of an artwork. Rhythm is created by
the variety and repetition of elements in a work of art that come together to create a
visual tempo or beat.

Harmony
This is achieved when the elements of an artwork come together in a unified way.

Repetition
Repetition involves the use of visual patterns. Examples are repetition of colors,
shapes, or lines to achieve a visual pattern or relationship.

Balance
Artists combine elements to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to a work of art.
Symmetry and asymmetry are manifestations of balance.

Contrast
Areas of contrast are where a viewer’s eye are usually first drawn. Artists will combine
elements to stress the differences between those elements.

Movement
Movement is used to create the look and feeling of action in an artwork. It guides the
viewer’s eye throughout a piece.

Pattern
This is the uniform repetition of an element of art or combination of elements. Anything
can be turned into a pattern through repetition.

2
Proportion
Within the realm of the elements and principles of art, proportion is the relationship of
elements in an artwork to the whole and to one another.

Variety
The principle of art concerned with diversity or contrast is that of variety. Variety is
brought about by using different colors, sizes and shapes in a work of art. It is the
partner of unity. Artists seek the balance between the two.

Emphasis
Emphasis is used in art to attract the viewer's attention to a particular area or object.
This is typically the focal point or main subject of the artwork.

C. READINGS
Art Awareness
Color Harmony is the combination of colors that can is the combination of colors that can go
together. go together. Every time we select Every time we select colors, we usually decide which color
matches the other. For instance, when we buy Tshirts or blouses, we usually consider the color of the pants
or skirts that match them. Without being conscious of it, we are actually using color harmony as one of lor
harmony as one of our bases in our bases in such a decision.
Color harmony is grouped into related color harmonies and contrasting color harmonies:

Complementary Triad Split - Complementary Rectangle

1. Monochromatic harmony – it involves one color and its tint is lighter and
shade is darker. This calming color scheme uses only a single color as a base
and allows its various shades, tints, and tones to be included within its
palette.

2. Analogous harmony – it is a combination of three colors lying side by side in

the color wheel.
