Topics:
1. Elements and Principles of Art

Objectives:
1. Enumerate the different elements of visual art.
2. Provide examples of the interrelatedness of some of the elements and principles of art.
3. Illustrate examples of hybrid art and dissect what art forms are combined them.

Introduction
This module on Subject and Content, it was combined that arts have a specialized
language. And to understand this language, the familiarity with some of the elements and
principles that make it legible is required. Think of it as the letters-the stringing of letters to
formulate words and perhaps even the different pronunciations and enunciations that assist
comprehension.

Discussion

LINE
A line refers to point moving at an identifiable path-it has length and direction. It also has width. It
is one-dimensional, however, it has capacity to either define the perimeters of the artwork ( edges ) and
/or become substantial component of the composition.
Line can vary in width, direction, and length

There are many different kinds of lines. Here are some common lines

Horizontal lines – lines that run parallel to the ground, appear to be at rest
Vertical lines – lines that run up and down, seem to show dignity, formality,
and strength.
Diagonal lines – lines that signal action and excitement .
Zigzag lines – lines that are made from combined diagonal lines, can create
a feeling of confusion or suggest action.

Curved lines –lines that express movement in a graceful, flowing way.

SHAPE
Shape is one of the elements of art. When lines meet, shapes are formed.
Shapes are flat and two-dimensional - height and width. Some shapes are geometric, such as squares,
circles, triangles, rectangles, and ovals and using created using a ruler or drawing tool. Other shapes are
organic or irregular and free-form.

These are geometric shapes. Organic shapes look like things from nature.

Geometric shapes. Organic Shapes

These shapes find origin in mathematical Those readily occurring in nature ,often irregular
propositions. AS such, its translation and use are and asymmetrical.
often man-made.

Shapes may also be implied. For instance , Raphael famous painting “ The
Madonna of the Meadows” depicts three figures : Mary , the young Jesus ( Right
) and the young John Baptist ( Left ).The position in the group takes allude to a
triangular shape reinforced by the garb of Mary

FORM
Form is one of the elements of art. Forms are three-dimensional—they have height, width and depth.
Shapes are flat; forms are not.

Here are some common forms:

SPACE
Space is one of the elements of art. Space is an empty place or surface in or around a work of art. Space
can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, negative and/or positive.

You can easily see the positive and negative space in this sculpture.
Artists also create positive and negative space in two-dimensional artworks.
Positive space – the shapes or forms
Negative space – the empty spaces between the shapes or the background

COLOR

Color is perhaps one of the elements that enhance the appeal of

an artwork. Its effect has range , allowing the viewer to make
responses based on the memory , emotions and instinct among others.

Color (hue) is one of the elements of art. Artists use color in many different ways. The colors we see are
light waves absorbed or reflected by everything around us. In nature, a rainbow is white light that is
broken apart by the moisture in the air.

People discovered that white light can be broken apart using tools like prisms or spectroscopes.

The colors of the visible light spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

White light consists of all of the colors mixed together. The color of an object depends on how it absorbs
and/or reflects light. If an object absorbs all of the light wavelengths, it will appear black. If it reflects all
of them, it will appear white. If an object absorbs all wavelengths except red, for example, it will look red.

Color has three properties:

1. Hue
Primary -the name of a color, such as red, blue, or yellow.
Secondary-green, yellow and blue
Tertiary Color –six total, these hues are achieved when primary and secondary colors are mixed.

2. Value – the lightness or darkness of a color.

Light colors-taken as the source of light in the composition
Dark Colors- the lack or even absence of light
Tint-this is a lighter color than normal value (Pink for red )
Shade- this is a darker color than the normal value (maroon for red)
3. Intensity – the brightness or dullness of a color.
Bright or warm colors- positive energy
Dull or cool colors-sedate /soothing, seriousness or calm

Colors are arranged in a circular format on a color wheel. Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors.
Violet, green and orange are the secondary colors.

Artists make use of different types of color schemes to create different effects.
1. Complementary – colors opposite of one another on the color wheel
2. Monochromatic – different values of a single color
3. Analogous – colors that are side by side on a color wheel and share a hue
4. Warm – red, yellow, orange
5. Cool – blue, green, violet

TEXTURE
Texture is one of the elements of art. Texture is the way something feels when you touch it – actual
texture; examples, rug, clothes, wood, etc. Artists also create the illusion of texture in artworks such as
paintings, drawings and prints – implied texture; created with elements such as pattern and line

PRINCIPLES OF ART
To reiterate, the appreciation and engagement of art relies substantially on being equipped with
the appropriate language that allows it to be more comprehensible.

BALANCE
Balance is one of the principles of art which describes how artists to create visual weight.
Artists think about how to make their works balanced by using elements such as line, shape, or color.
There are several ways to balance an artwork:
Symmetrical (formal) balance means both sides of an imaginary line are the same.
Asymmetrical (informal) balance means each side of an imaginary line is different yet equal.
Radial balance means lines or shapes grow from a center point.

CONTRAST

Contrast is one of the principles of art which creates excitement and interest in artworks.
Two things that are very different have a lot of contrast. White and black have the greatest contrast.
Complementary colors also have high contrast.

Artists use high contrast to make something show up. In Wheatfields with Ravens, Vincent van
Gogh used high contrast colors to make the yellow wheat fields stand out against the dark blue sky.
Artists may choose low contrast for a softer look, as Claude Monet did in this painting of
a bridge.
Differences in a work of art light & dark, rough & smooth, curved line & straight.

EMPHASIS
Emphasis is one of the principles of art. Artists use emphasis to make certain parts of their
artwork stand out and grab your attention. The center of interest or focal point is the place
the artist draws your eye to first.
In this painting, "The Letter," Mary Cassatt emphasized the envelope by painting it white
against the dark patterns of the woman's dress. She also placed the envelope in the center
of the painting to draw your eye to it.

UNITY
Unity is one of the principles of art. Unity is the feeling that everything
in the work of art works together and looks like it fits.

Gustave Caillebotte used shape to create unity. Repetition of shape and

color can make an artwork unified.

VARIETY
Variety is one of the principles of art. Variety occurs when an artist
creates something that looks different from the rest of the artwork.
An artist may use variety to make you look at a certain part or make
the artwork more interesting.

Jasper Cropsey painted a large tree to create variety in his landscape,

"In the Valley

PATTERN
Pattern is one of the principles of art. Artists create pattern by repeating a line, shape or color over and
over again.

RHYTHM
Rhythm is one of the principles of art. Visual rhythm makes you think of the rhythms you hear in music or
dance. Artists create visual rhythm by repeating art elements and
creating patterns.

In Okazaki, Ando Hiroshige's bridge supports create

a rhythm that leads your eyes through the landscape.

MOVEMENT
This refers to the direction of the viewing eyes as it goes through the artwork , often guided by
areas or elements that are emphasized. These focal points can be lines , edges , shapes and color within
the work of art among others.
