LESSON 3C PRINCIPLES of ART This material is meant for the personal use of Grade 12 UST Senior High School learners in the academic year 2024-2025. Do not share on any media platform or with other individuals without permission. Learning Objectives 1. Recognize the Elements and Principles of Art 2. Familiarize how the Elements and Principles of Art are applied in art-making  What is the purpose of the Principles of art? How to use the tools to make art. The principles of art are techniques of the elements of art to create art pieces, composition, arrangement, choreography, story, and many other works of art and design. What is a composition? Composition The arrangement and structural elements of a work of art. Demetrio Diego’s Guitarista The way these principles are applied affects the expressive content or the message of the artwork. Sometimes, creative artists purposely break the rules. PRINCIPLES OF ART Balance Contrast Emphasis Unity Harmony Movement Art in Context: Principles of Art – Understanding the Principles of Design in Art BALANCE This is commonly described as the visual weight of an artwork. The concept of visual equilibrium relates to our physical sense of balance. It is a compromise of opposing forces in one composition that results in visual stability. BALANCE SYMMETRICAL BALANCE Also known as “formal balance” in art equal balance between both halves of the composition, mirroring of halves BALANCE ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE Known as “informal balance” retaining balance even if the weights vary. BALANCE RADIAL BALANCE “Radiating” outwards; Art elements are placed around the central point. EMPHASIS Elements are applied to draw the viewers’ attention to a “focal point.” In Philippine modern art, there are artworks with no single focal point but still have an emphasis. “Brown Madonna” by Galo Ocampo “Rajah Solaiman” by Botong Francisco Where is the emphasis? Where is the emphasis? Where is the emphasis? CONTRAST “David with the Head of Goliath” by Caravaggio Focuses on differences between or among opposing elements. Common examples of contrast are value and color contrast. “Chiaroscuro” Italian word for “light-dark.” Strong contrasting light and shadow. Rembrandt’s works, “David and Saul” (L) and self-portrait (R) UNITY State of wholeness; Totality of related parts; complete unified whole. HARMONY Elements in art working together; effective “The Umbrellas” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir relation to one another; combining similar, related elements. Harmony can be achieved through RHYTHM and REPETITION and PATTERN. Repetition – repeated use of an element; makes visual echo and accent. Pattern – combination of repeated elements. Rhythm – continuity, recurrence, and sequence in time and space. Harmony by Shapes and Forms  Harmony by Color and Value “Quinces, lemons, pears and grapes” by Vincent van Gogh  UNITY is (somehow) equivalent to HARMONY, but there’s a slight difference. UNITY – different elements synched with one another. HARMONY – same elements (usually on repeat) synched with one another.  Harmony vs Unity Harmony (pattern, Unity (similarity and repetition and rhythm) within an element) Repetition of lines every….. spirals with different Repetition of color every ….. colors Rhythm of beat every….. hearts of various textures school of rounded fishes Which is Harmony?

Which is Unity? MOVEMENT The viewers’ eyes are “guided” through the artwork or towards the focal point; Visual representation of movement. “In the Dance Studio” by Edgar Degas There are some Principles of Art that are similar in expression to the audience; the difference lies in the intent of the artist. END OF LESSON 2, PART 3 ELEMENTS OF MUSIC
