Secondary Arts 10 Q3 Week4
QUARTER 3 – MODULE 4
MELC: Discuss the role or function of artworks by evaluating their utilization
and combination of art elements and principles.
PART I.
A. Introduction:
This module is created while taking into consideration the learners needing further assistance from us
in terms of studying and learning what they need to know when they are inside the classroom. Although the
module serves its purpose it still needs the guidance and concrete instructions from the facilitators. As you
give the instructions to the learner, give emphasis on the importance of the lessons to be learned and to follow
instructions well in doing the activities and tasks required.
In this module, it will discuss the role and functions of an artworks. It will be also evaluated by utilizing
and combining the elements and principles of arts.
B. Discussions:
2. ART AS COMMENTARY
Before the advent of the photography in the nineteenth century, artists and illustrators were our only source of
information about the visual appearance of anything by providing a visual account of an event or a person, or by
expressing an opinion, artists have shaped not only the way people understand their own world but also how their
culture is viewed by others.
Artists who fulfill our need for commentary often speak in language easy to understand, they view art`s
primary goal as communication between artists and viewer by means of subject matter.
6. ART AS SELF-EXPRESSION
For most of human history, self-expression has not been a primary reason for creating art. Other social
and cultural needs, such as the five we have already considered, more fully engaged the talents of artists.
Art fulfills an expressive function when an artist conveys information about his or her personality or
feelings or worldview, and aside from a social cause, market demand, commissioning ruler, or aesthetic urge.
C. Readings:
The elements and principles of art and design are the foundation of the language we use to talk about
art. The elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition. These are line, shape,
color, value, form, texture, and space.
The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help
convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern,
rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of these principles can help determine whether a painting is successful,
and whether or not the painting is finished.
The artist decides what principles of art he or she wants to use in a painting. While an artist might not
use all the principles of design in one piece, the principles are intertwined and the use of one will often depend
on another. For example, when creating emphasis, the artist might also be using contrast or vice versa. It is
generally agreed that a successful painting is unified, while also having some variety created by areas
of contrast and emphasis; is visually balanced; and moves the viewer's eye around the composition. Thus, it is
that one principle of art can influence the effect and impact of another.

The Seven Principles of Art and Design
1. Balance refers to the visual weight of the elements of the composition. It is a sense that the painting feels
stable and "feels right." Imbalance causes a feeling of discomfort in the viewer.
Balance can be achieved in 3 different ways:
a. Symmetry, in which both sides of a composition have the same elements in the same position, as in a
mirror-image, or the two sides of a face.
b. Asymmetry, in which the composition is balanced due to the contrast of any of the elements of art. For
example, a large circle on one side of a composition might be balanced by a small square on the other
side
c. Radial symmetry, in which elements are equally spaced around a central point, as in the spokes coming
out of the hub of a bicycle tire.
2. Contrast is the difference between elements of art in a composition, such that each element is made stronger
in relation to the other. When placed next to each other, contrasting elements command the viewer's
attention. Areas of contrast are among the first places that a viewer's eye is drawn. Contrast can be achieved
by juxtapositions of any of the elements of art. Negative/Positive space is an example of contrast.
Complementary colors placed side by side is an example of contrast.
3. Emphasis is when the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually dominant and commands the
viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.
4. Movement is the result of using the elements of art such that they move the viewer's eye around and within
the image. A sense of movement can be created by diagonal or curvy lines, either real or implied, by edges,
by the illusion of space, by repetition, by energetic mark-making.
5. Pattern is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination thereof. Anything can be
turned into a pattern through repetition. Some classic patterns are spirals, grids, weaves.
6. Rhythm is created by movement implied through the repetition of elements of art in a non-uniform but
organized way. It is related to rhythm in music. Unlike pattern, which demands consistency, rhythm relies
on variety.
7.Unity/Variety You want your painting to feel unified such that all the elements fit together comfortably. Too
much unity creates monotony, too much variety creates chaos. You need both. Ideally, you want areas of
interest in your composition along with places for your eye to rest.
