The Elements of Arts are the compositions of every artwork.
In the previous module, the six (6) Elements of Visual Arts discussed were line,
shape, form, color, texture, and space.
 Line is a stroke or mark that can be straight, curved, thick, or thin . It is
utilized to suggest movement, emotions, depth, distance, and rhythm.
 A shape is a space enclosed by lines that can dictate the point of view of the
viewer or audience called, perspective, and present different emotions and
actions.
 Form pertains to a three-dimensional shape or any shape that has length,
width, and depth that help create the illusion of a three-dimensional design
in a two-dimensional plane.
 Color refers to the product when light hits an object then reflected to the
eyes. Value is how light (tint) and dark (shade) a color is. It creates the mood
of an artwork.
 Space is the area surrounding, between, and within an object; can either be
positive (object or foreground) or negative (background). It helps illustrate
distance and the relationship of the foreground and background.
 Texture pertains to the visual perception of the surface of any object using
the other elements of art to contribute to realism.

RHYTHM
is the flow or movement of music through time. Tempo
and beat are
parts of rhythm. Tempo pertains to the speed of the music (fast
or slow), while beat
refers to the steady and regular pulse in music. For
example, the beating of one’s
heart and the ticking of a clock.
DYNAMICS
refers to the softness and loudness of music. It is used by composers
to express how they want their audience to feel or convey the mood the
piece
through volume and intensity. For example, a horror movie with a chase scene will
have an intense or strong music playing in the background but will change
into a
quiet or soft music when a character is hiding.
TIMBRE
also known as “tone color”, is the unique quality of sound. It helps in
distinguishing the different sources of sound. For instance, a person’s voice
and
musical instruments may have the same note but they are distinct in the
sound
they make. Another example is distinguishing instruments in the same
category,
such as a guitar and violin, which are both string instruments.
MELODY
pertains to a series of notes together. This is the most memorable
part of
music. It is the tune of a musical piece. For example, the
tune one plays when
asked to hum “Happy Birthday”.
HARMONY
is the sound of two or more notes heard at the same time. It is when
sounds form a cohesive whole. To illustrate, think of an orchestra: the violin
is
playing one note, the piano playing another, and the clarinet playing a
different
one. Harmony is created when all those notes are heard simultaneously.
TEXTURE
is the layers of musical sounds. It has three kinds: monophonic,
homophonic, and polyphonic. Monophonic pertains to a piece that has a
single
melody and has no harmony. For example, vocal music that do not have
accompanying instruments (a cappella), or instrumental music that has only
one
instrument playing.
HOMOPHONIC
is the most common among the three because it refers to a
piece that
has melody and harmony. For instance, a song that
has vocals accompanied by a
guitar or an instrumental music using a violin and piano.
POLYPHONIC
refers to playing various melodies at once. For
example, a song
that has three singers, with each singing different
lyric, all of which with of equal
significance and emphasis.
