ART STYLE AND FACTORS AFFECTING STYLE

Every artist has his way of presenting his work. Such is called art style. Such style is affected by the
following factors: geographical, historical, social, ideational, psychological, and technical.
1.Geographical factors-The place where artist stays influence his works. Marble sculptures are
plenty in Romblon because marble abounds in that province.
2.Historical Factors- Historical events exert a great influence on artists, particularly writers. Jose
Rizal’s novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, graphically highlights the events that took
place in the country during the last century of Hispanic rule.
3.Social Factors- Social relationship affects artists, too. The English writer Ben Jonson composed his
“Song to Celia”, the Italian sonneteer Francesco Petrarch wrote poems fo hi lady love named Laura.
4 Ideational Factors- The ideas coming from various people also influence artists. The Father of
Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud , proposed ideas that have influenced surrealist painters. The idea that
the human body is the most beautiful figure to present as an art subject gave rise to the school of
thought called nudism.
5. Psychological Factors- At times, the works produced by the artists are affected by their
psychological make-up frame of mind. For instance, the first painting of Edward Munch, “The Sick
Child”, is an effect of his unfortunate childhood experience of contracting a long illness after losing
his loved one at an early age.

6. Technical Factors- Techniques matter as far as an artistic style are concerned. In fact, painters
employ a variety of techniques to make their works unique. Different brushes produce different
strokes.
PRINCIPLES OF ART
To come up with attractive artworks, artist must be governed by the five conventions of artistic
compositions. The five principles of art are harmony, balance, rhythm, proportion and emphasis.
1.Harmony- is the most essential factor in a composition. Also called unity, harmony is achieved
when all the elements of a thing are put together to come up with a coherent whole.
2.Balance- Known as physical equilibrium, balance is stability produced by even distribution of
weight on each side thing. It is classified into formal or informal.
a. Formal Balance- exist if the weights at equal distance from the center are equal. It is also called
symmetrical balance because the thing displays symmetry (same measure). Bilateral symmetry is
present when the left and right sides appear the same. Radial symmetry exists when the same measure
occurs from the central point to the end of every radius.
b. Informal Balance-present when left and right sides of the thing, though not identical in
appearance, still display an even distribution of weight. It is also known as asymmetrical or occult
balance.
3.Rhythm-is the continuous use of a motif or repetitive pattern of succession of similar or identical
items.
4.Proportion- is the comparative relationship of the different parts in relation to the whole.
5.Emphasis- is giving proper importance on one or more part of the thing or the whole thing itself. It
is achieved by means of size or proportion, shape, color, line, position and variety.
