1ST Quarter Arts Handouts Lesson 1: Principles of Design Design – indicates both the process of organizing visual elements and the product of that process - It is a result of our basic need for meaningful order. Some designs are so well integrated that they have qualities beyond a mere sum of their parts. These are the several key principles of design: A. UNITY AND VARIETY Unity – refers to the appearance or condition of the oneness of an artwork B. BALANCE Balance – is the condition in which acting influences are held in check by opposing forces or what is on the left side should appear on the right side also in order to achieve equilibrium. symmetrical balance – is the near or exact matching of the left and right sides of a three-dimensional form or a two-dimensional composition asymmetrical balance – two sides that are not the same or equal C. EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION Emphasis – is the principle of making one or more elements in a composition more dominant or visually important than the others. D. CONTRAST Contrast – is the juxtaposition of strongly dissimilar elements - can be seen also in the thick and thin areas of a single brushstroke E. REPETITION AND RHYTHM Repetition of visual elements – gives a composition of unity, continuity, flow, and emphasis Rhythm in visual art – is created through the regular recurrence of elements with related variations F. SCALE AND PROPORTION Scale – is the relation of one thing to another. It is one of the first decisions an artist makes when planning a work of art. Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole Lesson 2: Elements of Arts Seven elements of arts: 1. Line 3. Space 5. Color 7. Perspective 2. Shape 4. Value 6. Texture LINE Line – is our basic means for recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and feelings - it is a primary means of visual communication - it is always have direction - they are always active SHAPE Shape – refers to the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional area or within the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional object - it may be geometric, which tends to be precise or regular (circles, triangles, squares) or organic, which are irregular, often curving or rounded, and seem relaxed and more informal Mass – is a physical bulk of solid body material, and it has a three-dimensional area SPACE Space – is the indefinable, general receptacle of all things - it is continuous, infinite, and ever-present Visual arts – are sometimes referred to as spatial arts because most of the art forms are organized in space VALUE Value – refers to the lightness and darkness of surfaces - it ranges from white to various grays to black - it can be a property of color or an independent element color COLOR Color – is a component of light, affects us directly by modifying our thoughts, moods, actions, and even our health  - it exists only in light, but light itself seems colorless to the human eye - it is the effect on our eyes of light waves of differing wavelengths or frequencies - it affects our feelings about size and distance as well as temperature. Properties of Color Hue is a particular wavelength of spectral color to which we give names. ❖ Primary Hues are: Red, Yellow, and Blue ❖ Secondary Hues are: Orange, Green, and Violet. This is produced by a mixture of primary hues. ❖ Intermediate Hues are: red-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, and red-violet. Each is located between the primary and the secondary hues of which they are composed. Value refers to the relative lightness and darkness from white through grays and black. Intensity, also called saturation, refers to the purity of a hue or color. TEXTURE Texture in visual arts – is the textile qualities of surfaces or to the visual representation. Actual textures – are those we can feel by touching Simulated textures – are those created to look like something other than pain on a flat surface Painters simulate texture, while sculptors and architects make use of actual texture. PERSPECTIVE Perspective – is a point of view - it can refer to any means of representing three-dimensional objects in space on a two-dimensional surface, in visual arts. - it is a system designed to depict the way objects in space appear to the eye. vanishing point – is the last meeting of the lines on the horizon In linear perspective, objects appear smaller at a distance, because parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance. TIME AND MOTION Time is nonspatial in which events occur in succession. Our experience of time depends upon the movements we experienced and vice versa. A sense of motion can be created by an actual change in position. LIGHT The source, color, intensity, and direction of light greatly affect the way things appear; as light changes, surfaces illuminated by it also seem to change. To suggest the way light reveals form, artists use changes in value. Lesson 3: Characteristics of Arts from the Various Art Movements IMPRESSIONISM Impressionist artists – they used pure unmixed colors side by side using short, broken strokes for more visual effect on the subject - they started on something new, like capturing scenes of lifelike household objects, seascapes, houses, and ordinary people - they preferred working outdoor in a natural light incorporating unusual visual angles, out of proportion objects, subjects placed off-centered, and empty spaces on the canvas EXPRESSIONISM Expressionism artists - they created works with more emotional force, and not on realistic or natural images. - they used distorted outlines, unrealistic or unnatural images to attain realistic artworks - their works are not actually what they see in the physical world, but depend on their imaginations and feelings The different styles that emerged within the expressionist art movements are: 1. Neoprimitivism 4. Surrealism 2. Dadaism 5. Social realism 3. Fauvism Neoprimitivism – is an art style of combined elements from the native arts of the South Sea Islanders and the wood carvings of African tribes Fauvism – is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early 20th-century modern artists whose works emphasized with strong colors and visual distortions Henri Matisse – the most known artist of Fauvism The characteristics of Fauvism include: 1) The important use of unnatural colors gives new, emotional meaning to the colors. 2) Creating a strong, unified work that appears flat on the canvas. Dadaism – is a style characterized by imagination, remembered images, and visual tricks and surprises Surrealism – came from the term "super-realism," - a style that depicts an illogical, subconscious dream world - it is a clear expression of departure from reality - as if the artists were dreaming, seeing illusions, or experiencing a change in mental state Social realism – is an art movement that expresses the artist's role in social reform ABSTRACTIONISM The abstractionist movement has four art styles, namely: Cubism Futurism Mechanical style Non-objectivism cubist style – was derived from the word cube, a three-dimensional geometric figure composed of lines, planes, and angles Pablo Picasso - Spanish painter/sculptor is foremost among the cubists Futurism – is a style of art that began in Italy in the early 1900s. It is an art of fast-paced, machine-propelled age mechanical style- is a style of basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres, and cylinders all fit together in a precise and neat manner. Non-objectivism - from the term non-object, works in the non-objectivism style did not make use of figures or even representations of figures. Optical art or Op art is another art movement that gives a visual experience – a form of "action painting," taking place in the viewer's eye, giving the illusion of movement. Popular art or Pop art is a movement made of the use of commonplace, trivial, even nonsensical objects that pop artists seemed to enjoy and laugh at. ✓ Contemporary Art Forms: Installation art – is a contemporary art form that makes use of sculptural materials and other media to modify the way the viewer experiences a particular space. - it is also called environmental art, project art, and temporary art. It creates an entire sensory experience for the viewer that allows him to walk through them. Performance art – is a form of modern art in which the actions of an individual or a group of a particular place and at a particular time constitute the work. It involves four basic elements, namely: time, space, the performer's body, and a relationship between the performer and audience.
