This part presents all visual art forms presented earlier in this
introduction. However, it should be emphasized that the aim for
this part is not to make a clear delineation of each visual art form.
Bear in mind that tackling each art form can help in understanding
further the scope of the visual arts.
Direction: Fill in the boxes with your ideas about visual elements
of art. There are no wrong or right answers. Your own ideas
matter.
Line
This refers to a prolongation of a point or a mark on a surface.
Solid lines can be used in order to define form while broken lines
are typically used to suggest hidden forms.
Shape and Mass
This element refers to an area with boundaries identified or
drawing lines. A shape may be natural or living forms called an
organic shape and can be irregular or rounded. It. may also be
measured forms called geometric shape. In contrast to shape
which two-dimensional, mass refers to solid portions of a three-
dimensional object.
Color
This refers to visual perception that allows a person to
differentiate objects due to the way various wavelengths of light
are reflected. Color is a very important element because it can
communicate information and emotion to the viewer. These are
the three properties of color:
Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is
represented in the color wheel.
Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color.
A light color or tint is the result of adding white to a hue,
while a dark color or shade results from adding black to
a hue.
Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of
color. It is also referred to as purity of the color. A bright
color can be produced by adding more pigment to the
same hue, while a dull color can be produced by adding
gray or the color’s complement to the pigment.
Color Schemes
Monochromatic – involves using the same hue but with
different gradients of value.
Analogous – entails the use of three or four adjacent
colors in the color wheel.
Complementary – involves the use of a color and its
complement -meaning the color located opposite of the
first color.
Split-complementary – a close relative to the
complementary color scheme. But instead of using the
color’s complement, this scheme uses the two colors
adjacent to the complement.
Triadic – uses three colors that are of equal distance with
each other.
Tetradic – also known as double complementary color
scheme, this uses two pairs of complementary colors.
Texture
This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface. A
person may describe as actual or implied. Actual texture can be
felt tangibly based on the material that is used for the artwork
while implied texture can be exhibited, for instance, in a painting
of fur of an animal.
Value
This element refers to lightness or darkness of an area. This is
evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional object to give
an illusion of depth.
