ELEMENTS OF MUSIC (Ibarra,2015)

Sound Components
1. Pitch-a musical procedure that determines the highness or lowness of a
specific musical sound
2. Intensity-process of distinguishing volume of specific sound vibration
3. Duration-covers the span between the first and the end or cut off of a specific
perceptible sound
4. Timber-process of distinguishing the quality of sound of an instrument or
human voice.

The Primary and Secondary Elements of Sound Components

The Primary Elements of Music

1. Rhythm-the organization of all elements of time included in the music


2. Melody-the organization of the individual tones in successive pitches in
horizontal motion that is organized in time
3. Harmony-the process of simultaneous pitches and the vertical relationship
among tones

The Secondary Elements of Music


1. Texture-refers to the horizontal and vertical relationship among tones
2. Dynamics-the intensity of sound or volume of a musical phrase
3. Form-the principle of musical organization that determines its over-all
structure
4. Tone Color-the quality of sound of a particular instrument or voice

ELEMENTS OF FICTION
1. Character -a figure in a literary work (personality, gender, age, etc.). E.M. Forester
makes a distinction between flat and round characters:
a. Flat Characters - types or caricatures defined by a single idea of the quality
b. Round Characters - have the three-dimensional complexity of real people

2. Setting - combination of place, historical time, and social milieu that provides the
general background for the characters and plot of a literary work. The general
setting of a work may differ from the specific setting of an individual scene or
event.

33
3. Theme-the central and dominating idea (or ideas) in a literary work.
4. Plot- the major events that move the action in a narrative. It is the sequence of
major events in the story, usually in a cause-effect relation.
5. Style-the authors type of distinction (choice of words), syntax (arrangement of
words), and other linguistic features of a work
6. Point Of View- the vantage point from which the narrative is told.

ELEMENTS OF POETRY

1. Connotation- refers to an implied meaning that’s associated with a word in


addition to its literal meaning.
2. Figurative Language- are words and expressions used in poems and text to
convey various meanings and interpretations from the literal meaning.
3. Imagery- the name given to the elements in a poem that sparks of the senses.
4. Sound and Rhythm- is the beat and stressed syllables in a poem. Poets have a
variety of possibilities for building that rhythm and ending lines.

ELEMENTS OF DRAMA

1. Character-is a person, animal, being, creature, or a thing in a story. Writers use


characters to perform the actions and speak dialogue, moving the story along a
plotline.
2. Conflict-literary element that involves a struggle between two opposing forces,
usually a protagonist and an antagonist.
3. Dramatic Irony-the words or act of a character may carry a meaning unperceived
by the character but understood by the audience.
4. Idea-a plan, suggestion or possible course of action.
5. Discovery-something that is suddenly revealed about a character or situation in a
play.
6. Reversal-turning point in a drama after which the plot moves steadily to its
denouement.

ELEMENTS OF DANCE

1. Action- any human movement included in the act of dancing.


2. Music-used in reference to dancing, rhythms, such as tempo, dynamics, and beat,
are derived from music, as most dance is either set to music or accompanied by it.

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

 The elements of design are the multiple ways the elements of art can be used
to create an artwork

1. BALANCE
 Way of combining elements to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to
a work of art.
 It can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial

34
a. Symmetrical-known as formal balance, the
similarity is so precise that each half is seen one and
the same.
b. Asymetrical- known as informal balance,
Symmetry, credits to
Wikipedia.com
where elements on either side of a composition do not reflect
one another

c. Radial - all elements radiate out from a center point in a circular


fashion to all four quadrants of the shape’s constraining plane

2. EMPHASIS/CONTRAST
 Way of combining elements to stress differences between those elements.
 Contrasting elements are often used to direct and focus the viewer’s
attention on the most important parts of a design.
3. HARMONY

 A way of combining similar elements in artwork to accent their similarities


 It is accomplished through the use of repetitions and subtle, gradual changes

4. Variety

 Involved ways to create intricate and complicated relationships.


 It is achieved through diversity and change
5. Gradation

 Using a series of gradual changes in those elements


 Examples of gradation include a gradual change from small shapes to large
shapes, or from dark hue to a light hue
6. Movement

 Used to create the look and feel of actions and to guide the viewer’s eye
throughout the work of art.
 Also used to direct the viewer’s attention to a center of interest, or make
certain that the main parts of the work are noted.
7. Rhythm

 Created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to


cause a visual tempo or beat
8. Proportion

 Concerned with the relationship with the certain elements to the whole and
to each other.
 Proportion is often closely connected with emphasis.
