Visual Arts

Visual arts refer to a broad category of artistic


expressions that involve creating visual or perceptual
experiences. These art forms are primarily appreciated
through sight, encompassing a wide range of mediums,
styles, and techniques.

a. Drawing

b. Sculpture

c. Video Art

d. Print Designs
Literary Arts

Literary arts is an expression of ideas through


writing. There are many types of literary artworks,
and this can be categorized into: poetry and prose.
POETRY
A type of literature based on the interplay of words and rhythm.

PROSE
When an imaginative literary piece is not written in figurative language,
then it is considered as prose.

Examples of prose are short stories , and novels among others.


Performing Arts

Performing arts is an expression of an artistic idea through written


lyrics, text, dramatization, and multimedia production.

Performing arts usually require the MUSICAL THEATRE, DANCE,


and DRAMA, a combination of different art forms, such as literary art
for the material and visual arts for stage design.
Take Note
Different art forms are distinct from each other, but are NOT
necessarily independent of each other.

This means that two or more disciplines of art can be used in


the creation of an integrated artwork.
Take Note
This integration calls for a combined use of various
disciplines to create an expressive work.

An example of a contemporary artwork is the spoken word


poetry. It is when poetry is written to be read on a stage,
usually in intimate settings such as a coffee shop.
Take Note
An integration of various art forms has become more and more
evident in contemporary arts.

With people of different cultures having contact with each other, it


is inevitable that artists lift styles and techniques from different
practices.

UNIT 1 PART TWO

The Elements
and Principles of
Art
What are the things that you
are looking in a piece before
calling it an art?
• There are certain elements which make an
artwork an artistic piece.

• These elements and principles are socially agreed


on and, when followed, usually define what is
formally known as “ Aesthetically Pleasing “
Elements of Arts
SPACE

When we say space, it can vary depending on what art


discipline it pertains to. In visual arts, this may pertain
to emptiness which may either be POSITIVE space or
NEGATIVE space.

POSITIVE space refers to a part which is enclosed in a


shape, while NEGATIVE space refers to the opposite
part which the shape is enclosing.
SPACE
SPACE

In other forms of art like literature and music, space


may pertain to pauses and interval between lines or
notes.
LINE
Different types of lines may convey different meanings. For
example, a horizontal line usually suggests calmness, as
such is the case when viewing the horizon during sunset,
vertical lines may convey loftiness, while diagonal lines may
pertain dynamism.
Example of
Horizontal Line

Line
Example of
Vertical Line

Line
LINE
In other disciplines like theater, this may pertain to the lines
in the script. While in dance, it is the routine of steps as
executed by the dancer.
SHAPE AND FORMS

Shape is formed by connecting both ends of a line.


Shapes are two dimensional figures with
height and width.
KINDS OF SHAPES

a. Geometric Shapes
enclosed figures such as triangle, squares, and other structured
figures

b. Organic Shapes

shapes found in nature. They do not have a structured form as they are usually free
flowing. Examples of these are the shape of a leaf or a cloud.

c. Abstract Shapes

organic shapes for they lack definition, but they are not
necessarily found in nature. They are also asymmetrical and free flowing.
COLOR
In visual arts, color is associated with the natural
phenomenon in our environment.
Scientifically, when a light passes through a prism, it will
produce different hues of different
wavelengths.
VALUE

In visual arts, value is considered a property of a color which


pertains to its lightness or darkness.

In music, this may refer to the pitch. It is the highness or the


lowness of the sound.vd
TEXTURE

In visual arts, texture is the tactile or illusory surface of


the piece.

In music, texture is the mood or quality of the


composition.
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
• The elements of art may be organized in a way
that it can create a more compelling artwork.

• This organization of elements is called principles


of design.

• Understanding the elements and how they may go


together will be of great help in improving, not just
your artistic skills, but also your capacity to
understand art.
SCALE AND PROPORTION

Scale and proportion refer to the


relationship of the elements, specifically
its relative size of
parts of a whole.
SCALE AND PROPORTION
For example, when drawing a human standing beside a
house, it is important to ensure that the human is
proportional to the house, which means ensuring that the
size of the element suggests what they are - a human
standing beside a house, as opposed to a human standing
beside a doll house.
HARMONY

In general, you can say an art piece is in harmony when the different
parts produce an overall
positive impact or effect

In visual arts, harmony is the unity of the artwork, specifically in


reference to the arrangement of its parts, while in music, harmony refers
to the simultaneous
sounding or playing of different notes to produce a sound.
VARIETY

In other terms, variety may be referred to as diversity.

This means adding multiple, different elements to break the


monotony of an artwork and make it more interesting.
MOVEMENT

Movement is a basic principle of nature and is associated with


the environment. All living
things, non-living things, and heavenly bodies move naturally.

It serves as one of the fundamental principles in dance and


theater. In visual arts, an artwork has movement when it
incorporates the passage of time, even in an illusory manner.
RHYTHM

This refers to the repetition of certain elements to produce a


pattern. In visual arts, repeated
design elements may create a certain flow and may lead the
viewer’s eyes.

In music, this refers to the even distribution of notes.


RHYTHM
BALANCE
Balance refers to the even and equal distribution of elements.

TWO TYPES OF BALANCE

● INFORMAL BALANCE, also called asymmetrical, is present when the


designs are not equally distributed on both sides.

● FORMAL BALANCE, also called symmetrical, is present when the weight


of the designs is equally distributed.
EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION

EMPHASIS

a principle which may refer to the greater impact given on a certain element.

SUBORDINATION

serves as the opposite of emphasis as it refers to how certain elements only serve
as a supplement to the emphasized element in a design.
“ Life itself should be balance , and and has colorful
movements.”
