CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS FROM THE REGION  ARTS AND ITS VISUAL ELEMENTS 1. 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. BROKEN LINES are typically used to suggest hidden forms. BROKEN LINES SOLID LINE 2. 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 is two- dimensional, MASS refers to solid portions of a three-dimensional object. 3. COLOR – this refers to visual perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way various wavelengths of light are reflected. It is very important element because it can communicate information and emotion to the viewer.  3 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. ✓SATURATION – which refers to brightness and dullness of color. COLOR WHEEL – is an arrangement of primary, secondary and tertiary colors. It is important tool to identify which colors can work well if used in a certain artwork which is the color schemes or color relationships.  SIX COLOR SCHEMES 1. MONOCHROMATIC – involves using the same hue but with different gradients of value. 2. ANALOGOUS – entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color wheel.  SIX COLOR SCHEMES 3. COMPLEMENTARY – involves the use of a color and its complement- meaning the color located opposite of the first color. 4. SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY – a close relative to the complementary color scheme. But instead of using the color’s complement, this scheme uses the colors adjacent to the complement.  SIX COLOR SCHEMES 5. TRIADIC – uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other. 6. TETRADIC – also known as double complementary color scheme, this uses two pairs of complementary colors.  SIX COLOR SCHEMES 5.

TEXTURE – this element refers to the feel of 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. 5. 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. 6. SPACE – refers to the area that is occupied by an object or a subject as well as the area surrounding that object or subject. An illusion of space can still be created in a two-dimensional surface using perspective. 2 TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE SPACE ✓ ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE – which utilizes the properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance. ✓ LINEAR PERSPECTIVE – which involves the use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines. ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE LINEAR PERSPECTIVE 7. TIME AND MOTION – movement in the visual arts can either be an illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of movement is more common in two- dimensional artworks. On the other hand, actual motion is easily seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind or are vibrating with the surrounding air.
