Arts of the Renaissance and Baroque Period

Art 9– 2nd Quarter – Week 1

Background Information for Learners

The Visual Elements of Arts

1. Line is the foundation of all drawing. It is the first and most versatile of the visual
elements of art. Line in an artwork can be used in many different ways. It can
be used to suggest shape, pattern, form, structure, growth, depth, distance,
rhythm, movement and a range of emotions.
2. Shape can be natural or man-made, regular or irregular, flat (2-dimensional) or
solid (3-dimensional), representational or abstract, geometric or organic,
transparent.
3. Color is the visual element that has the strongest effect on our emotions. We
use color to create the mood or atmosphere of an artwork.
4. Texture is the surface quality of an artwork - the roughness or smoothness of
the material from which it is made.
5. Form is the physical volume of a shape and the space that it occupies. Form
can be representational or abstract. Form generally refers to sculpture, 3D
design and architecture but may also relate to the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface.
6. Tone is the lightness or darkness of a color. The tonal values of an artwork can
be adjusted to alter its expressive character.

PRINCIPLES OF ART
The “principles of design” are mechanisms of arrangement and organization for the
various elements of design in artwork. Please note that different sources might list
slightly different versions of the “Principles of Design,” but the core fundamentals are
essentially the same.
1. Harmony in art and design is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar,
related elements. For instance: adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar
shapes etc.
2. Balance is a feeling of equality in weight, attention, or attraction of the various
visual elements within the pictorial field as a means of accomplishing organic
unity.
3. Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the
relationship in scale between one element and another, or between a whole
object and one of its parts. Differing proportions within a composition can relate
to different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help establish visual weight
and depth
4. Dominance/Emphasis- The principle of visual organization that suggests that
certain elements should assume more importance than others in the same
composition. It contributes to organic unity by emphasizing the fact that there
is one main feature and that other elements are subordinate to it. In the below
examples, notice how the smaller elements seem to recede into the background
 while the larger elements come to the front. Pay attention to both scale and
value of the objects that recede and advance.
5. Variety is the complement to unity and harmony, and is needed to create visual
interest. Without unity and harmony, an image is chaotic and “unreadable;”
without variety it is dull and uninteresting. Good design is achieved through the
balance of unity and variety; the elements need to be alike enough so we
perceive them as belonging together and different enough to be interesting.
6. Movement is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art, and it is
generally very important to keep a viewer’s eyes engaged in the work. Without
movement, artwork becomes stagnant. A few good strategies to evoke a sense
of movement (among many others) are using diagonal lines, placing shapes so
that the extend beyond the boundaries of the picture plane, and using changing
values.
7. Rhythm - A continuance, a flow, or a feeling of movement achieved by the
repetition of regulated visual information.

Characteristics of Renaissance Art

The Renaissance period emerged in Italy in the late 14th century and reached its
zenith in the late 15th century. This was a period when Europe underwent an
astonishing renewal in the fields of fine art, such as painting, architecture, sculpture
and drawing.
Renaissance art, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature produced
during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries in Europe under the combined influences of
an increased awareness of nature, a revival of classical learning, and a more
individualistic view of man. Scholars no longer believe that the Renaissance marked
an abrupt break with medieval values, as is suggested by the French word
renaissance, literally “rebirth.” Rather, historical sources suggest that interest in
nature, humanistic learning, and individualism were already present in the late
medieval period and became dominant in 15th- and 16th-century Italy concurrently
with social and economic changes such as the secularization of daily life, the rise of a
rational money-credit economy, and greatly increased social mobility.

Characteristics of Baroque Art
Baroque art came about during the period from 1600 to 1700. The movement’s initial
works began in Italy but went on to be seen in France, Germany, Spain and the
Netherlands. During this time, artists were encouraged by the Catholic Church to
exhibit stronger religious characteristics in their paintings.
There is usually one source of light, known as tenebrism, in Baroque art. The
contrasting light and dark, such as in shadows, bring drama to the works. Both have
an effect on the emotions and the intensity of the piece.
Realism is an important aspect of Baroque art. Rubens embraced reality in his art.
In “Saint George and the Dragon,” Saint George is muscular with a suit of armor that
appears as it did in everyday life. His horse is depicted as feisty and strong.
Naturalism was also seen in Baroque art through the use of normal details unique to
daily life. Caravaggio employed this technique in his work by showing local places
such as taverns and peasants. He places the viewer in the painting through applying
things as part of both the foreground and central space. Facial expressions highlight
the subjects’ moods or emotions. Artists would sometimes put themselves in the
painting as part of the shadows. For example, Diego Velazquez is seen in the left of
his painting “Las Meninas.”
