ARTS APPRECIATION- ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLE OF ARTS

LINE

Point moving at an identification path

LINE

Define the perimeters (edges)

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINE

orientation of the line, communicate stability and firmness.

HORIZONTAL LINE

rest or calm

VERTICAL LINE

connotes elevation or height

DIAGONAL LINE

convey movement and instability

CROOKED/JAGGED LINE

reminiscent of violence, conflict, or struggle

CURVED LINES

lines that bend or coil

FRANCISCO DE GOYA

• Known for his prints, he is a master of etched works and use of aquatint.

•  made use of this medium to articulate his political views 

THEODORE GERICAULT 

Author of The Raft of Medusa(1818-19)

THE RAFT OF MEDUSA

• the painting depicts the 1816 wreckage of the French government ship called Medusa

SHAPE

refers to two dimensions: height and width

FORMS

refers to three dimensions: height, width and depth.

GEOMETRIC

these shapes find origin in mathematical propositions

ORGANIC

readily occuring in nature, often irregular and asymmetrical

PIET MONDRIAN

• Author of “Composition with Color Planes and Gray Lines 1” (1918) 

THE MADONNA OF THE MEADOWS

depicts three figures: Mary, the young Jesus (right) and the young John the Baptist (left).

SPACE

• inferred from sense of depth, whether it is real or simulated.

NEGATIVE SPACE

usually identified with the white space

POSITIVE SPACE

space where shadow is heavily used

THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE

can be simulated through a variety of techniques such as shading

COLOR

elements that enhances the appeal of an artwork.

COLOR THEORY

experiments undertaken by Isaac Newton in (1666). A ray of sunlight passing through a prism reveals an array of colors akin to that of a rainbow.

HUE

this dimension of color gives its name.

PRIMARY COLORS

red, yellow and blue

SECONDARY COLORS

green, orange and violet

TERTIARY COLORS

achieved when primary and secondary colors are mixed.

VALUE

this refers to the brightness or darkness of color.

LIGHT COLORS

source of light in the composition

DARK COLORS

lack or even absence of light.

TINT

lighter color than the normal value 

SHADE

this is a darker color than the normal value

INTENSITY

color’s brightness or dullness. It is identified as the strength of color, whether it is vivid or muted.

MONOCHROMATIC HARMONIES

use the variations of a hue. An example is Claud Monet’s “Houses of Parliament.

COMPLEMENTARY HARMONIES

two colors opposite each other in the color wheel. Ex Three Saints

ANALOGOUS HARMONIES

two colors beside each other in the color wheel. 

TEXTURE

• can be either real or implied

• experienced through sense of touch and sight

• renders art object tactile

SURFACE TEXTURE

refers to the texture of the three-dimensional art object. 

FORMAL ANALYSIS OF ART

offers a starting point or a baseline from which analysis may take place

COMMON LANGUANGE

The elements of art make it possible to engage with the visual and tactile qualities of the artwork, through a “_________” that may be widely understood

PERSPECTIVE

requires the implementation of principles and techniques in creating an illusion

PICTURE PLANE

is the actual surface of the painting or drawing, where no illusion of three dimensions exists.

ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE

-often used in depicting roads, tracks, hallways or rows of trees; 

-shows parallel lines that seem to converge at a specific and lone/one vanishing point, along the horizon line.

TWO-POINT PERSPECTIVE

• pertains to a painting or drawing that makes use of two vanishing points, 

• can be placed anywhere along the horizon line

THREE-POINT PERSPECTIVE

• makes use of the three vanishing points

MUSIC

• most widespread forms of art

• is sound organized in a specific time

• considered an implement to cultural activities, answering a specific role or function.

SHAPE, FORM, SPACE

WHATS ARE THE (3) ELEMENTS OF ART?

LINE, SHAPE, FORM, SPACE, COLOR, TEXTURE

WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF ARTS AND DESIGN:VISUAL

RHYTHM, DYNAMICS, MELODY, HARMONY, TIMBRE, TEXTURE

WHAT ARE THE COMMON ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

RHYTHM

• is the element of music that situates it in time.

• pulse of the music

BEAT

basic units of music, tempo refers to its speed

MELODY

refers to the linear presentation (horizontal) of pitch. 

HARMONY

It arises when pitches are combined to form chords

CHORDS

when several notes are simultaneously played

TIMBRE

• is often likened to the color of music

• is a quality that distinguishes a voice or an instrument from another.

TEXTURE

the number of melodies, the type of layers, and their relatedness in a composition

BALANCE, SCALE AND PROPORTION, EMPHASIS, CONTRAST, UNITY, VARIETY, HARMONY, MOVEMENT, RHYTHM, REPETITION, PATTERN

WHAT ARE THE 11 PRINCIPLE OF ARTS

SYMMETRICAL

the elements used on one Side are reflected to the other

ASYMMETRICAL

The elements are not the same (or of the same weight) on each side

SCALE AND PROPORTION

1. Pertains to the size in relation to what is normal for the figure or object in question.

NATURAL

relates to the realistic size of the visual elements in the artwork

EXAGGERATED

Refers to the unusual size relations of visual elements,

IDEALIZED

• most common to those that follow canons of perfection

• achieve the most ideal size-relations

EMPHASIS

1. allows the attention of the viewer to a focal points

CONTRAST

is the disparity between the elements that figure into the composition.

UNITY

compositions are intended to imbue a sense of accord or completeness from the artwork

VARIETY

the principle that aims to retain the interest by allowing patches or areas

HARMONY

 which the elements or objects achieve a sense of flow and interconnectedness.

MOVEMENT

refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the artwork

REPETITION

1. Lines, shapes, colors, and other elements may appear in an artwork in a recurring manner
   
   

PATTERN

the image created out of repetition

RHYTHM

created when an element is repeated creating implied movement. 

RADICAL

there is a central point in the composition around which elements
