Art

written and oral report; and
 Create and integrative artwork, that will demonstrate the interrelationship between the
arts and their elements

A colorful picture that is very detailed where you could see the people’s position clearly
and also, the setting is very visible. You can see the statues, sky, books, people, the people’s
clothes, what the people are doing, and etc.
The place is bright, where you can see the sky, the statues

ELEMENTS OF ARTS
(1) Line (2) Color (3) Value (4) Texture (5) Shape (6) Composition in Space (7) Movement

1. LINE
 in VISUAL ARTS, it refers to the quality of the line (e.g. thin, broken, thick, blended, or
among others)
 associated with the body’s axis as it moves toward different directions and adjusts to a
point of reference through various positions and actions, such as walking, standing,
sitting, etc.

TEXTURE
 created when several lines come together
 can be very thin, washed or very thick, rough or fine

2. COLOR
 is associated with our experiences of cold and warmth, and the quality of light in our
tropical environmental, the cycles of night and day, of darkness and light.
ASPECTS OF COLOR:
(a) HUE has to do with how light waves of various lengths and rapidity of vibrations
bounce off objects and enter our eyes
 • WARM HUE- it has longer wavelengths and is more distinct and easily discernible (ex.
red, orange, yellow)
– WARM COLORS seem to advance towards us
• COOL HUE- it has shorter wavelengths and seem to merge into each other
- COOL COLORS appear to recede
 Vary in SATURATION, INTENSITY, or BRILLIANCE

(b) BRILLIANCE

example: ● brilliant blue + neutral hue (i.e. gray) = its hue or blueness does not change, it
just becomes less intense or duller

(c) VALUE OR TONE

 Refers to hue’s brightness or darkness example:

- a hue + black = becomes more dim or heavy
- a hue + white (or gray) = it lightens Artists make use of these aspects of color
and combine theme into different color scheme, these includes:
POLYCHROMATIC SCHEME- means it is made of many colors
MONOCHROMATIC SCHEME- using only one color example:
- blue + white (or gray) = many colors
ACHROMATIC SCHEME
- no color
-it uses black that absorbs all colors; or white that reflects all colors

example of ACHROMATIC:

 building of the La Salle College of St. Benilde on Vito Cruz, Manila built by Architect
Lor Calma has white concrete walls interspersed with glass.
 combined with its unique floor pan and structure, the color scheme (achromatic scheme)
gives the building a futuristic look, reflecting its cutting edge, industry-driven curricular
programs
 Visual artists use colors in different ways, depending on their styles and preferences. Some
artists use color as a REPRESENTATIONAL element intending to depict the world as
accurately as possible. Portraits approximate skin tone and color; landscape and still life depict
actual conditions of the environment through shading, and CHIAROSCURO or play of light
and dark.
Example: Fernando Amorsolo’s use of color in his portrait, hewing as closely as possible
to skin tone and color of dress and surroundings. His landscapes are said to capture the colors of
the earth, sky and sea, and that of the Philippine sunlight.
Most contemporary and Modern artists are more personal and expressionist in their use of
color, taking liberties with color schemes to convey mood, atmosphere and symbolic potential, as
opposed to conveying literal, meaning.

3. VALUE
 Refers to gradations of tone from light to dark, which can be an aspect of color as
discussed above, but could also specifically refer to the play of light on an object or a
scene
 In representational painting, it is shading, blending, and chiaroscuro or the play of light
and dark that lend the flat surface an illusion of depth and perspective
 non-representational use of value is also useful in documentations, as in black and white
I.D photos or in reportage practices like photojournalism.
4. TEXTURE

 Refers to how objects and surfaces feel, and is most associated with the sense of touch or
tactility.
 It is created when several lines are combined. The combination maybe described as
smooth,
translucent, fine, silky, satiny, velvety, sandy, furry, feathery, slimy, gritty, rough,
rugged, coarse, porous, irregular, jagged, thick, thin, and so on.
-Example:
● barong and saya fabrics are translucent and delicate.
● Dresses of Aze Ong are soft, yet thick; and as Filipino formal dresses, these are
appropriate for important occasions usually done in air-conditioned spaces, and are not
for everyday wear.
 In REPRESENTATIONAL WORKS, it can be stimulated or imitated. However, it can
also be actual, as can be found in college, where actual objects are glued on a surface.
Example:
- Imelda Cajipe-Endaya integrates sawali panes, crocheted lace, fabrics and rope
to make more concrete and more immediate her work’s social and political themes such
as feminism, export labor, and anti- imperialism
