Robert E. de Leon: Art Appreciate Filipino 1B

This document discusses the elements and principles of visual art, including line, shape, tone, color, pattern, texture, and form. It provides examples of how different types of each element can be used to convey different meanings or effects. For instance, curved lines suggest comfort while jagged lines indicate turmoil. Shapes like squares portray strength but triangles can lead the eye upward. Tone is used to create depth or atmosphere, while color impacts mood. Pattern and texture also impact rhythm, balance, and illusion of reality.

ART APPRECIATE

FILIPINO 1B
ROBERT E. DE LEON

Visual arts refer to work that is enjoyed entirely, or mostly, through the


eyes. This includes fields like painting, sculpture, architecture, film, and
many more. 
2D visual arts is an art that you can touch but in a form of flat. You will
appreciate the art by looking it. This arts includes painting, drawing, digital
and film photography, mixed media and graphic design.
3D visual arts are pieces, presented in the dimension of height, width and
depth, occupy physical space and can be perceived from all sides and angles.
This art includes model, sculptures, decorations, ornaments and so on.

ELEMENTS OF VISUAL ARTS


1. Line 5. Shape
2. Tone 6. Color
3. Pattern  7. Texture 
4. Form

Line is the foundation of all drawing. It is the first and most versatile of the
visual elements of art. Line in an artwork can be used in many different ways.
It can be used to suggest shape, pattern, form, structure, growth, depth,
distance, rhythm, movement and a range of emotions.

Different types of lines

 Curved lines suggest comfort and ease


 Horizontal lines suggest distance and calm
 Vertical lines suggest height and strength
 Jagged lines suggest turmoil and anxiety

Different expressive qualities of lines

 Freehand lines can express the personal energy and mood of the artist
 Mechanical lines can express a rigid control
 Continuous lines can lead the eye in certain directions
 Broken lines can express the ephemeral or the insubstantial
 Thick lines can express strength
 Thin lines can express delicacy

Shape can be natural or man-made, regular or irregular, flat (2-dimensional)


or solid (3-dimensional), representational or abstract, geometric or organic,
transparent or opaque, positive or negative, decorative or symbolic, colored,
patterned or textured.

The Perspective of Shapes- The angles and curves of shapes appear to


change depending on our viewpoint. The technique we use to describe this
change is called perspective drawing.

The Behaviour of Shapes

 Shapes can be used to control your feelings in the composition of an


artwork.
 Squares and Rectangles can portray strength and stability.
 Circles and Ellipses can represent continuous movement.
 Triangles can lead the eye in an upward movement.
 Inverted Triangles can create a sense of imbalance and tension.

Tone is the lightness or darkness of a color. The tonal values of an artwork


can be adjusted to alter its expressive character.

Tone can be used;

 to create a contrast of light and dark.


 to create the illusion of form.
 to create a dramatic or tranquil atmosphere.
 to create a sense of depth and distance.
 to create a rhythm or pattern within a composition.
Color is the visual element that has the strongest effect on our emotions. We
use color to create the mood or atmosphere of an artwork.

Different approaches to the use of color

 Color as light
 Color as tone
 Color as pattern
 Color as form
 Color as symbol
 Color as movement
 Color as harmony
 Color as contrast
 Color as mood

Pattern is made by repeating or echoing the elements of an artwork to


communicate a sense of balance, harmony, contrast, rhythm or movement.

Two basic types of pattern in art

Natural Pattern- Pattern in art is often based on the inspiration we get from
observing the natural patterns that occur in nature. We can see these in the
shape of a leaf and the branches of a tree, the structure of a crystal, the spiral
of a shell, the symmetry of a snowflake and the camouflage and signaling
patterns on animals, fish and insects.

Man-Made Pattern- Pattern in art is used for both structural and decorative
purposes. For example, an artist may plan the basic structure of an artwork by
creating a compositional pattern of lines and shapes. Within that composition
he/she may develop its visual elements to create a more decorative pattern of
color, tone and texture across the work.

Texture is the surface quality of an artwork - the roughness or smoothness of


the material from which it is made.

Two ways to experience texture


Optically (through sight)

Physically (through touch).

Optical Texture: An artist may use his/her skillful painting technique to create
the illusion of texture. For example, in the detail from a traditional Dutch still
life above you can see remarkable verisimilitude (the appearance of being
real) in the painted insects and drops of moisture on the silky surface of the
flower petals.

Physical Texture: An artist may paint with expressive brushstrokes whose


texture conveys the physical and emotional energy of both the artist and
his/her subject. They may also use the natural texture of their materials to
suggest their own unique qualities such as the grain of wood, the grittiness of
sand, the flaking of rust, the coarseness of cloth and the smear of paint.

Ephemeral Texture: This is a third category of textures whose fleeting forms


are subject to change like clouds, smoke, flames, bubbles and liquids.

Form is the physical volume of a shape and the space that it occupies.

 Form can be representational or abstract.

 Form generally refers to sculpture, 3D design and architecture but may


also relate to the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface.

Three-Dimensional Form can be modeled (added form), carved (subtracted


form) and constructed (built form). It can be created from sculptural materials
like clay, wax, plaster, wood, stone, concrete, cast and constructed metal,
plastics, resins, glass and mixed media. It may also be kinetic, involving light
and movement generated by natural, mechanical and electronic means. More
recently the CAD process of 3D printing has be been added to the list of
sculptural processes.

Two-Dimensional Form constructs the illusion of 3D in 2D media by a skilful


manipulation of the visual elements. Perspective drawing, trompe l'oeil [1], 3D
computer graphics programs and holograms are examples of 2D form.
 MEDIUMS OF ART are the materials used to create a work of art.

Different kind of mediums

 Oil paint
 Watercolors
 Acrylic paints
 Graphite pencil
 Charcoal and pastels
