Lesson IV : Part 1 Contemporary THE Philippine Arts from the Regions ELEMENTS OF ARTS The Elements LINE SHAPE Of Visual Art FORM SPACE - provide an essential starting TEXTURE point for understanding and COLOR creating art that express and VALUE moves us. LINE -refers to the continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. Different kinds of lines convey different concepts, values and feelings. -Horizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose. -Vertical lines often show dignity, formality and strength. -Diagonallines can suggest action and excitement. -ZigzagLines convey a feeling of confusion or suggest action -Curvedlines suggests grace and beauty. Also signifies play, sensuality and eroticism. -Jaggedlinessuggest turmoil and anxiety SHAPE - when the beginning of a line connects with its own end or intersects with another. - Shape indicates the general outline of an object. - Shapes are flat and two-dimensional (Length & width) The Snail Henri Matisse Cut-out paper 1953  FORM - is the volume of a shape meaning its height, width and length. -Formgenerally refers to sculpture, 3D design and architecture but may also relate to the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface. SPACE - is the area where the artwork is organized. 2 Types of Space: 1.Positive & Negative 2. 3D space  Negative-the space around and between the subject Positive-the space inside the subject or the main focus of a certain piece  SPATIAL INDICATORS Size 3D Position SPACE Transparency Fractional representation Sharp and diminishing detail Converging parallels Linear perspective Linear Perspective : One-point perspective Vanishing Point Linear Perspective : Two-point perspective Vanishing Point Linear Perspective : Three-point perspective Vanishing Point Vanishing Point TEXTURE - Texture is the look or feel of a surface. - We experience texture in two ways: Optically(through sight) Physically(through touch) -It can either be made from an actual object, be simulated, or from imagination. Actual Texture Artworks by Alfonso Ossorio Simulated Texture Seascape By Felix Hidalgo Simulated Texture Hyperealistic Paintings by Eloy Morales  Invented Texture Glitch Art by Nick Liberatore aka “roybot” COLOR - The colors we see are light waves absorbed or reflected by everything around us. Color Has Three Distinct Qualities: 1. Hue -the name of the color 2. Value-lightness to darkness of a color 3. Saturation-brightness to dullness of a color Yellow, Red, Blue Orange, Violet, Green Yellow-green, Yellow-orange, Red-orange, Red-violet, Blue- violet, and Blue-green WARM COLORS - advancing, stimulates COOL COLORS - receding, relaxing COLOR HARMONIES VALUE - Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. -You can get different values of a color by mixing its Shades (adding black to a color) and Tints (adding white to a color). A Tone is created when grey is added to a color. Colored Grayscale Value scale  VALUE SCALE Shadows Midtones Highlights Types of Value: Low Contrast High Contrast  ETLHEME EENLETMS ELeNsTsSo nO 1FI IA pRtT.1 & pt.2: The 7 Elements of Art -The elements of art provide an essential starting point for understanding and creating art that express and moves us. 1. Line -refers to the continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. 2. Shape -when the begging of a line connects with its own end or intersects with another. (2D) (2 types: Geometric –The Basic Shapes; Organic –free-form and often one of a kind.) 3. Form -is the volume of a shape meaning its height, width and length (3D). 4. Space -is the area where the artwork is organized. (2 types: Negative & Positive, 3D space) 5. Texture -Texture is the look or feel of a surface. (Optical & Physical) 6. Color -The colors we see are light waves absorbed or reflected by everything around us. (Hue: Name of Color, Value: Light to Dark, & Saturation: Brightness to Dullness) (Primary: Red, Yellow, Blue; Secondary: Orange, Green, Violet; Tertiary: Yellow-green, Yellow orange, Red-orange, ) and Blue-green Red-violet, Blue- violet, (Warm -advancing, stimulates; Cool -receding, relaxing) 7. Value –Lightness to Darkness (High Contrast & Low Contrast) (Shades: adding black to a color, Tints: adding white to a color, & Tone: adding Gray to a color. ) (Value scale: Highlights, Midtones, & Shadows)  Lesson IV : THE PART 1 ELEMENTS OF VISUAL ARTS Lectured by : Lemoine Rey D.
