What I Know
It would really help if you would squeeze out your creative juices in this lesson, as
this may look like a refreshing course in arts. A phone camera may also come in
handy, as well as good word processing skills. Nevertheless, if you do not have the
technology for such at present, I would also love to see your handmade work. Enjoy!

Here are four
samples of
business cards.
Identify what is
wrong with the
design of each
card and suggest
ways to improve
them.
What’s New
How did the activity go? Were you able to identify some of the issues in each
business card? If we would evaluate the cards based on the message that
they convey, it is easy to say that each card gives precise information
necessary for the business: medical services for children for Card A, eye care
for Card B, content creation for Card C, and interior decorating services for
Card D. However, communication does not rely only on establishing the
correct message through content. What matters also is using the right media
to support the content. Consider the visual media presented in each of the
business card above. Would a child be comforted by a doctor whose name
appears as if coming from a horror movie? Would you visit an eye clinic if
you can barely read the info about it? Would you trust a writer and content
creator who cannot even spell words correctly? And would you hire an
interior designer who presents more clutter than order?
Hence integration of the correct content with the correct form is a must to
convey the right information. Without such, you will not be able to capture
your audience and convey the proper message.

2. Shape
A geometric area that stands out from the space next to or around it, or
because of differences in value, color, or texture. Shape may also be
organic.
5. Color
Determined by its hue (name of color), intensity (purity of the hue), and
value (lightness or darkness of hue). Color and color combination can play
a large role in the design. Color may be used for emphasis, or may elicit
emotions from viewers. Color may be warm, cool, or neutral. It plays a
major role in our visual perception, as it influences our reactions about
the world around us. It is therefore important to create color palettes that
evoke the appropriate audience reactions.
6. Form
A figure having volume and thickness. An illusion of a 3-dimensional object
can be implied with the use of light and shading.
Through digital means, shadows are On the other hand, thick pen strokes
are placed in the drawing above in order used to achieve volume and
thickness on to provide a three-dimensional effect. the sketch in this
sketch.
Putting the lines on the picture above, the girl’s face, which is the center of
interest, is right on an intersection point. Hence, the picture has an
interesting composition.
In portraiture, one tip in order to command the center of
interest in close ups (such as the picture of Liza Soberano)
is to place the dominant eye at the center of the frame.
Doing so, the image would have the illusion of staring back
at you. (I did an exercise with my previous classes on
assessing the impact of visuals seen in magazines, and we
all realized that many of Liza Soberano’s photos in her
printed product endorsement in magazines all had her
dominant eye at the center.

3. Balance – a feeling of visual equality in shape, form,
value, color, etc. Balance can be symmetrical and evenly balanced, or
asymmetrical and unevenly balanced. Objects, values, colors, textures,
shapes, forms, etc. can be used in creating balance in a composition.
On the left, the lines implied by the children’s arms provides a direction
that leads to the element that unites them: a trophy. On the right, the
blurred image of children in frenzy during the Buhayani festival evokes a
sense of directionless motion.
You can find rhythmic patterns everywhere, for a simple cup of cappuccino
prepared by a barista, to a festive street dance.
7. Perspective – created through the arrangement of objects in two-
dimensional space to look like they appear in real life. Perspective is a
learned meaning of the relationship between different objects seen in
space
Types of Shots
How do we go about telling a story in visual form? Let’s take wisdom form
children’s fairytales.
Normally, a fairy tale begins with “Once upon a time, in a land far,
far away, there lived a… and so on and so forth.” That sounds too
elementary, but that is the basics to start a story: tell the place and time
and introduce the characters, and the rest will follow. Now, it would be
awkward to have somebody narrate that for you, that is why visuals need to
be properly executed to tell a story effectively.

Establishing the angles of your shots will also help in providing the
desirable meaning on visuals. Through this, you can suggest a specific
emotion, establish strength or weakness, or take the story from the eyes of
a character. Here is a list of shots based on angles and points of view (Ricart,
2018).

Assessment
I believe you are very much aware of the posts in social media
regarding the way learning is taking place in the new normal – from rants
about online classes, exaggerated teaching and learning styles, erroneous
textbooks, etc. Consequently, netizens have feasted so much on this, and
sad to say, some have brought more negativity to the challenging situation
we are having right now.
This is the reason why for this next activity, you will do a “Positivity
Challenge” and flood the internet with encouraging posts for students and
teachers alike. Here are the mechanics.
1. Create a simple poster with the right visual and text components.
2. To ensure originality, include visuals related to your school,
barangay, and/or Calamba City.
3. Make sure also that you or your classmates (or even teachers) are
part of the poster. A decent selfie, screenshot of your class, and
the likes, may be used. Avoid outrageous pictures or you might
become an instant funny meme.
4. Incorporate an encouraging message in your post. We do not aim
to criticize this time. Instead, we aim to spread positive vibes
about learning despite the difficult times we are experiencing. You
may use either English or Filipino, and make sure you follow the
rules of grammar and writing.
5. Post it on social media (FaceBook or Instagram), and make sure
you share it also to your local group pages.
6. Try to work on having as many Likes and Shares of your poster.
Let me clear this first: you will not be graded based on the
number of likes. This is not a contest also, and I have nothing to
offer but sticker “hugs” and “congratulations.” Remember that our
aim is to spread good vibes through social media.
7. However, do take note that this serves as one of your performance
tasks, and you will be graded based on how you utilized the
principles of text and visual media in your work.
8. For students who do not have the means to do digital arts and
connect to the internet, you may just create a poster using your
art materials of your choice and submit it accordingly through the
way devised by your school.
Here is an example. I posted this when Brgy. Canlubang reported its first
COVID-19 case back in April 2020 as a simple reminder that we can
overcome all challenges.
