Elements of Beauty and Uniqueness

The document discusses the elements of art that are found in Luzon artwork: line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. It provides examples of each element, such as different line types, geometric and organic shapes, the color wheel and primary/secondary colors. It also explains how artists use these elements like using warm/cool colors, color schemes, and implied vs. tactile texture. Perspective and the use of foreground, middle ground and background are discussed as ways to show space in artwork.

Arts and Crafts of Luzon

Elements of Beauty and


Uniqueness
Learning Competencies
The learner:
 Analyze elements and principles of art in the production of one’s
arts and crafts inspired by the arts of Luzon (highlands and
lowlands).
 Reflect on and derive the mood, idea, or message emanating from
selected artifacts and art objects.
In this module, we will focus on the elements of art as applied in the
said artworks from Luzon. You will learn the elements of arts like line,
shape, form, value, color, texture, and space, as well as their differences
among each other and how artists applied these in their artwork.

The elements of art are the building blocks of all art. Every artwork or
art piece created comprises one or more elements. And of course, you
need to know all of this first.
The first element is LINE. A mark drawn by any tool that marks
as it moves across a surface. Lines can be: long or short, thick
or thin, rough or smooth, dotted, broken or solid.

Long and Short Rough and Smooth Dotted and solid

Broken and Solid Thick and Thin


They can make straight movements, zig-zags, waves or curls.
They may be horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.

Zigzags Waves and Curls

Horizontal lines Vertical line


Lines can convey different emotions as well.

Other lines which can be measured,


geometric, directional and angular are called
constructive lines.
They tend to appear to be man-made because
of their precision.

Expressive lines are found in nature and are


very organic.
The next element is SHAPE. Shape is created when a line becomes connected and
encloses space. It is the outline or outward appearance of something. Shapes are 2
Dimensional (2-D) which means you can measure its height and its width.

There are two basic types of shape: geometric shapes and organic shapes.

• Geometric shapes have smooth even edges and are measurable such as square,
circle, triangle, and rectangle.

• Organic shapes have more complicated edges and are


usually found in nature.
The other element is FORM. A Form is a shape that is 3- Dimensional (3-D) that has
height, width, and depth.
The fourth element is COLOR. Color can add interest and reality to artwork. These
colors are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (ROY G BIV).

Color Wheel
There are 3 primary colors: Red, Yellow and Blue

These colors are primary for 2 reasons:


A. They cannot be formed from other mixed colors
B. They make all the other colors on the color wheel\

When you mix 2 primary colors together,


you get a secondary color. For example:

When you mix a primary and a


secondary color together you
get an intermediate color. For
example:
Color schemes

Color is divided into groups based on the way they are


placed on the color wheel:

3-4 colors “next-door-neighbors” to each other create an


analogous color scheme

2 colors that are directly opposite each other (going across the
center) create a complementary color scheme.
A split-complementary color scheme is a harmony of color
and that features a base color and two colors on either side of
its complement.

A Triadic color scheme uses 3 colors that are equally spaced


apart on the color wheel
Colors have temperatures. It is important that you understand the effects of color in
every art piece. Colors can convey emotion and feelings too.

• Warm colors are those that have Reds, Yellows and Oranges. Warm colors seem
to advance (or come forward) in an artwork.
• Cool colors are those that have Blues, Greens and Violets. Cool colors seem to
recede (or go back into) an artwork.
Color can be described by its Properties: Hue, Intensity, Value.

Hue is the actual color, or the identity of a


color. Intensity is the brightness or dullness
of a color.
Another element is VALUE. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Value
makes objects appear more real because it imitates natural light. When showing
value in a work of art, you will need a light source. A light source is the place
where the light is coming from, the darkest areas are always on the opposite side
of the light.
Color Value
When you use only one color plus its tints and shades, you are using
a monochromatic color scheme.

A tint is a color plus white A shade is a color plus black


Another element is TEXTURE. Texture is the way the surface of an object
actually feels. In the artistic world, we refer to two types of texture – tactile
and implied.

Tactileorrealtextureis the way the surface of


an object actually feels.

Implied Texture is the way the surface of


an object looks like it feels. This is the type
of texture that artists use when they draw
and paint.
The seventh element is SPACE. The distance around, between, above, below, and
within an object.
Positive and Negative space is a way that an artwork is divided. Space is basically
divided into 3 parts: Foreground, Middle Ground and Background.
Space can be shallow or deep depending on what the artist wants to use.

Shallow space is used when the artist


has objects very close to the viewer.

Deep Spacemay show objects up close but objects are


shown far away too.

Perspective is also a way of showing space in a


work of art. Perspective is when the artist uses a
vanishing point on the horizon and then creates a
sense of deep space by showing objects getting
progressively smaller as they get closer to the
vanishing point. Objects may overlap as well. When
objects are overlapped it is obvious that enough
space had to be in the picture to contain all the objects
that have been included.
