ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES OF ART

EXPLORE

Mediums and elements are the two major factors in creating an artwork. One can easily identify
the elements through the medium used. Elements is independent of medium; if we say that a painting is
made of watercolor, it is medium but when we say that the painting is made of warm and cool colors,
we are speaking of elements. Same also with music, when we say that a song was accompanied by
guitar or piano, we say it is medium but when we say that the song has its pattern of melody we pertain
to elements. The elements of art constitute an important part of the language of art. Basically, elements
of art are the primary source to have knowledge in understanding and appreciating art because it is
visually detectable. Thus, artist used elements as basic component in art making. In a practical sense it is
considered as the building blocks or ingredients of art. Expressing feelings and sentiments by the artist
using elements or visual vocabulary intelligently can be a great source for the audience to fully
understand an artwork Elements of art is one of the basics in understanding principles of art and art
criticism or art analysis.

Choose a song or musical recording from different genre like R&B, acoustics, love songs, etc.
Listen and define a song. What makes a song an experience to remember after listening to it, is it the
basic elements like melody, timbre, duration, loudness, or texture? If you experience all this element as
you listen to the song. Write it in your art journal and share your answer to your seatmate.

Look at any painting that you like. Look at the details of the artwork, such as color, line, shape,
texture, space and value. Can you identify each element from one another? How can you describe the
distinction of one element to the other? Write it in your art journal and discuss it with your seatmate.

3. The Principles of Design

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=018N8p4Y3cA

The Elements of Visual Arts include Line, Shape, Form, Space, Color, Texture and Value.

1. LINE

line is the strongest and most important and influential. Without line there can be no shape.
Without shape there can be no form. Without form there can be no texture and there can be no pattern.
Lines are powerful tools that can be used smartly to lead the viewers eyes towards the point of interest
in a photograph, and alter the overall feeling and mood of an image. Line can be considered as the
oldest, simplest, and universal elements for creating visual arts. Connecting dots can be considered as
line Line is important in making any work of arts like in painting, sculpture and architecture. Through
lines, artist can make us know what the work is all about. Thick lines and thin lines are used to make
representation of shapes and forms, can create drawing and necessary in working with figurative and
non figurative art. The best quality of lines is giving direction in the artwork. The viewer's eyes can
recognize the movement for a better orientation. For a better understanding about this first vocabulary
of art, we have to consider the other functions of line;

 Outline and form

 Movement and emphasis

Kinds of Line

1. Vertical Line - Vertical lines depict power and strength stability, simplicity, poise or stature and
dynamism. An example of vertical line can be a man standing, a tall tree, a tall building and even
statues of saints. Some monuments of heroes with vertical lines suggest honor and dignity. It
also motivates certain emotion or even sentiments, a deeper sense of adoration and praise in
some architectural monuments like cathedrals.

2. Horizontal Lines - Horizontal line is basically associated with rest and repose. It suggests serenity and
quietness, relaxation and reflection, stability and inaction Landscape often impart a feeling of tranquility
because of supremacy of horizontal line like the bodies of water meeting the sky in a sunset scene which
is commonly called horizon. Horizontal line is visible also in a dead man reclining, resting animals, a
serene sea and a cemetery

3. Diagonal Lines - Diagonal lines are lines of action and movement. 1t also suggests impulse, will power,
aspiration, passion, and emotion. Almost all artworks that suggest actions, assumes to have diagonal
lines. The degree of an action depends on the angle of the diagonal. A woman dancing with a position of
forty-five degrees is in its maximum of action while weak angles are below forty-five degrees gives an
impression of uncertainty, instability, insecurity and a sense of collapse. A man running, a bended tree
because of the wind, an air plane on it take off, and a flowing river comprise horizontal lines.

4. Curved Lines - It is considered as "line of grace" and of beauty". It is associated with smooth
movements In graceful dance, simple smile or a tree bending because of heavy weight of fruits, or even
curly hair. Curved line is most pleasing among the other lines discussed. It implies softness, and
flexibility. Most common curved line can be associated with arches, scallops and spiral that can be easily
recognize in ornamental designs like the Maranao Okir in wood carvings like sari-manok.

5. Jagged Lines -Jagged lines is associated with pointed and sharp object that signifies difficulty and
discomfort. It also shows violence, torture, confusion, and conflict.

2. SHAPE

Shape is an enclosed area or surface. It can be easily identified because when a line crosses itself
or intersects with other lines to enclose a space it creates a shape. Shape is the principal element of
identification. For that shape to be successfully identifiable, it needs to be in strong contrast with its
surroundings so that it is detached from the clutter around it. It is impossible to create shape without
using other basic elements. Shape is responsible in creating the subject in art even representational or
abstract art. Shape can be two-dimensional and can be three dimensional. Two-dimensional exist with
height and width, while three-dimensional exist with height, width and volume. There are two
categories or classification of shape:

"Balancement". Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) Russia

https://www.weinerelementary.org/kandinsky-and-variety.html

a. Geometric Shape

Its origin came from mathematical perspective. It includes Circles, Squares, rectangles and
triangles. We see them in architecture and manufactured items. Geometric shape can be Rectilinear or
Curvilinear. There are also Geometric shapes in different cultures and Geometric shapes in
Contemporary arts.

b. Organic or biomorphic Shape –

Oftentimes we see them in nature and with characteristics that are free flowing, informal and irregular.
These shapes derived from any living organisms. Trees, flowers, birds, fishes and even sea shells are
organic shapes.

3. FORM

It is the overall design of an artwork. It describes the structure of shape and object from the
different perspective. The organization of the object or thing in the entire composition is what makes
form identifiable. Almost all visual arts are concern with form since artist deliberately use forms create
movement that would lead the viewers eyes in full attention. Since form consist of size, height, width
and volume it always suggests visual weight. In painting which is two dimensional, the three-
dimensional or form can be recognizable if by using illusion and perspective as well as shading and
modeling, Such in the case of pyramid. Pyramid is presented as one triangle, but when it is view from
left and right sides using perspective or if it views from the top, the pyramid represents four triangles.
Sculpture and architecture deal with three dimensional forms.

4. SPACE

Space is the surface or the area within the artwork. It constitutes the area or distance, between,
around, above or within things. Artist who deals in painting and architecture consider space to be of
great importance. Architecture can be considered as art of space. Buildings with its exterior, interior
appears to have a spacious element. In two-dimensional art like painting space includes the background,
the foreground and the middle ground for the viewers to visualize the distance within the artwork.
There are two kinds of space: Positive space is the space where most likely to be filled with shadows or
color while negative space is the empty area in the artwork,

5. COLOR

Color can be considered as the most expressive of all the elements of art. Colors can be easily
recognize in any visual experience. The primary source of colors came from light. We enjoy the beauty of
nature and things around us through colors with the aid of light, This light has vibrating waves that
varies in length which pass through our eyes and produce illumination of colors. The colors that we see
in objects or things around us varies because of the reflection and absorption of light. One of our basic
understanding about color spectrum was an experiment conducted by Isaac Newton in 1966 wherein a
white light of the sun passes through a prism which reveals an array of colors that we called rainbow.
These colors are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet or ROY G BIV.

PROPERTIES OF COLOR

1. HUE - is the name of a color and the property which distinguishes one color from another. The major
hues are such as red, blue, or yellow.

2. VALUE - Value is the lightness or darkness of a hue (color). The value of a hue can be changed by
adding black or white.

3. INTENSITY -Intensity is the brightness or dullness of a hue (color). Pure hues are high-intensity colors.
Dull hues are low-intensity colors.

CLASSIFICATION OF COLOR

1. Primary Colors - are hues


which can be mixed to create all other
colors. Primary Colors are basic and
cannot be mixed from other elements.
They are to color what prime numbers are to mathematics. One can mix to primaries to get a Secondary
Color.

https://medium.com/@avawill10/how-many-primary-colors-are-there-b6c0c9a71a96

2. Secondary Colors - are the hues between the primary hues on the color wheel. The secondary colors
are a combination of equal amount of two primaries. To get orange, you have equal parts of red and
yellow. To get Violet, you mix equal parts of red and blue. To get green, you mix equal parts of blue and
yellow.

The 3 Secondary Colors

https://uxplanet.org/basic-guide-to-understanding-colors-2301c9d777f8

3. Intermediate Colors - These colors are created by mixing a secondary color with a primary color like
red-orange, red- violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange.

4. Tertiary Colors - are created by mixing two complementary colors or mixing two colors that are
opposite from each other on the color wheel. One example is orange combined with green will result to
Citron (yellowish gray), orange mixed with violet will result to Russet (Reddish Gray) and green
combined with violet will result to buff (Bluish Gray).

5. Warm and Cool Colors - Color can be associated with warmth and coldness in which the artist
considered in any composition. All colors can be grouped as cool colors and warm colors. Warm colors
express warmth; they are red, yellow and orange like sun, fire and golden fields. Warm colors are vivid
and energetic, and tend to advance in space. Warm colors suggest cheerfulness, joy and excitement.
Cool colors have the feel of being cold or cool; they are blue, violet and green like sky, sea, and earth.
Cool colors give an impression of calm, and create a soothing impression. Cool colors depict rest,
serenity and calmness. Warm colors always seem closer than cool colors and give an impression of
advancing towards the viewer, that is why it is called advancing colors while cool colors are called
receding or retreating colors. Cool colors are receding colors because when red, green and blue circles
are in the composition, red seems closest to the viewer and blue farthest away.

COLOR HARMONY - is the correct arrangement or combination of colors. It creates a pleasing


arrangement which is essential in any visual experience. It also delivers visual interest and a sense of
order. In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and
it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. When something is not
harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic. The human brain rejects what it cannot organize, what it
cannot understand. To achieve harmony in arts and design it is necessary to consider Color Scheme.

COLOR SCHEME - In color theory, a color scheme is the choice of colors. Color schemes are used to
create style and appeal. A basic color scheme will use two colors that look appealing together. More
advanced color schemes involve several colors in combination, usually based around a single color, for
example, text with such colors as red, yellow, orange and light blue arranged together on a black
background in a magazine article. There are six formula in creating style and appeal:

https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/258886678567973844/

1. Complementary Color Scheme- Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are
considered to be complementary colors (example: red and green) Complementary color schemes are
tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you want something to stand out. The high contrast of
complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation

2. Analogous Color Scheme - Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the
color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs. Analogous color
schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Make sure you have
enough contrast when choosing an analogous color scheme.

3. Triadic Color Scheme - A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color
wheel. A Triadic color schemes tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of
your hues. To use a triadic harmony successfully, the colors should be carefully balanced. Let one color
dominate and use the two others for accent.

https://www.homedit.com/triadic-color-
scheme/

4. Split-Complementary Color Scheme - is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to


the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. This color scheme has the same strong
visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension. The split complimentary color
scheme is often a good choice for beginners, because it is difficult to mess up

decorator/

5. Rectangle or Tetradic Color Scheme - uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This
rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation. Tetradic color schemes works best if you let
one color be dominant You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in
your design.

6. Square Color Scheme - The square color scheme is similar to the rectangle, but with all four colors
spaced evenly around the color circle. Square color schemes work best if you let one color be dominant.
You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design.

PSYCHOLOGY OF COLORS - Colors are known to have varied psychological and emotional connotation.
Thus, the meaning of color and its symbolism changes from one culture to other, Philippines has
distinctive symbolism and meaning of colors in the diverse cultural groups. Christianity has its own
meaning of colors. Thus, artist in the Philippines have strong influence from the western world regarding
symbolism and meaning of colors.

Black - Death, despair, gloom, sorrow (for fashion; elegance), mourning and darkness

Blue - Infinity, Freedom, Calmness, serenity, sadness, peace, masculinity and loyalty

Brown - Humility, earth, spiritual death, renunciation of the world

Green - Nature, Freshness, Prosperity, Hope, Money, life, good health and well-being and envy

Orange - Sweetness, Cheerfulness, energy, food, craving for food-

Pink - Femininity and love

Red - Bravery and courage, Energy, Passion, War, Warm, Ardent love and martyrdom

Violet - Royalty, Dull, penance, mourning, and power.

White -Purity, Clarity, Simplicity, Virginity, Peace, surrender, meekness, goodness and mourning

Yellow - Joyful, Life, Vibrant, Sunshine, Happiness, warmth and cowardice

6. VALUE - Right next to color, value can suggest emotional and dramatic impression by using lightness
and darkness in composition. Value is referred to Chiaroscuro meaning lightness and darkness (from the
Italian word chiaro "clear" and oscuro "dark". Thus, light and shadow mean the same thing It is a quality
that depends on the amount of light and dark in color. They give expression of depth and solidity in
visual art, Value is created by a certain source of light that strike or shines on an object creating
highlights and shadows. It also illuminates the local or actual color of the subject. Furthermore, value
creates depth within a picture making an object look three dimensional with highlights and cast
shadows, or in a landscape where it gets lighter in value as it recedes to the background giving the
illusion of depth. Value refers to the intelligent usage of tint, shades and tones in an artwork to achieve
the desired mood of the work. Shading, tinting and toning, may create no boundaries of transition in
surface rendering and when executed skillfully they appeared to be as realistic and natural. For
architecture and sculpture values change because of light while in painting the values are fixed.

Tint, Shades and Tones

If a color is made lighter by adding white, the result is called a tint. black is added, the darker
version is called a shade. And if gray is added, the result is a different tone.

7. TEXTURE

Texture is found in all visual arts. It is the elements that deals primarily with the sense of touch
or the tactile sensation or stimuli. It is how the surface in a ceratin composition feels. Other elements
discussed like color, line, shape, form and value can be associated with the sense of sight. The
uniqueness of texture is distinctive because artist can create illusion like actual and stimulated that
resulted the richness and natural characteristics of artworks. Texture maybe described as smooth, hard,
soft, wet, dry, rough, slippery, etc.

started/?%3A+DigitalPhotographySchool+%28Digital+Photography+School%29=

Kinds of Texture
1. Actual Texture

Texture is capable of moving your deep emotions than any other elements. It refers to the real
texture of an object. In such cases like in architecture and sculpture, differences in texture can be felt
because of the different materials used like bronze, marble and ice for sculpture and bricks, concrete
and polished stone for architecture. Thus, when it comes to painting or two-dimensional art, actual
texture are found and felt as the artist incorporate other objects like scraps of cloth, bottle cups, leaves,
papers and others. This process is called collage which was introduced by Picasso and Braque. In mix
media art, artist can paste different objects with texture and at the same time use paints for the whole
artwork. Aside from collage and mix-media art, painter can create texture using paints with the aid of
brushes and palette knife. Post impressionist artist like Vincent Van Gogh used strokes using pigment
which give body to the artwork called impasto. Impasto is a technique used in painting using very thick
layers of paint using brush and palette knife.

2. Implied or Simulated Texture

Simulated texture is the imitation of real texture or real objects. It is obtained through visual
effects with the aid of other elements. Artist manipulate his medium to give an impression of texture
and visual effects. Visual texture is an illusion of texture created by the artist. Contemporary artist takes
simulated texture as a one of the great challenges in visual art.

PRINCIPLES OF ART

Principles of design is used to organize the elements of art in a certain composition. Basically, it
is the strategies in creating a good and beautiful design. It is the proper arrangement of different
elements to come up with a pleasurable art experience for the viewers. The effectiveness of elements of
art will defend on the proper usage and manipulation of the principles of design which is the guiding
principles and rules in art. The principles of arts and design are the following:

1. Emphasis- In visual art, emphasis or subordination is the focal point or the center of interest in an
artwork, it catches our attention so easily while the rest are subordinated. Usually the artist intentionally
creates something that would stand out in the whole composition so that it will grab the attention of the
viewer. It gives importance of what truly matters in the artwork

2. Balance - It has something to do with visual weight. An artist deliberately uses other elements like
value, color and texture to create visual weight and balance. An illusion of stability with the proper
use of certain elements is necessary in creating balance. Weight should be equally distributed on
each side of the center or fulcrum.

There are three kinds of Balance

a. Symmetrical Balance - The most stable among the kinds of balance is symmetrical Balance or formal
balance, When one side of the composition mirrors the other.

https://www.quora.com/What-are-symmetrical-and-asymmetrical-balances

b. Asymmetrical Balance or informal balance - it is achieved when one side of the composition does not
reflect the design of the other but visually balanced. It can be obtained by using large object on the
other side and distribute the size of the bigger part to form smaller sizes on the other side. The two sides
are visually equal without being identical

composition-by.html

C. Radial Balance - elements and objects had a central point. There is a circular distribution of elements
and objects in a composition,

3. Harmony - Harmony is essential to beauty. It is achieved by using similar elements and establishing
pleasing relationship with other elements through a body of work. Harmony shows interconnectedness
of elements used. Thus, it gives an uncomplicated look that may result to unity.

https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/478718635371272370/

4. Variety - This principle creates an interest and appeal in a body of work. Using differences and
change may result to increasing visual interest. An artist may use variety to make you look at a
certain part or make the artwork more interesting. Other way to achieve variety is by using different
shapes, textures, colors and values in your work.

5. Movement - It adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers- eye
throughout the picture plane. Other elements used repeatedly can give impact to this principle through
illusion like, color, line, form and shape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAi0N9ELqNg

6. Rhythm- A regular repletion of elements can produce implied movement. Artists create visual rhythm
by repeating art elements and creating patterns. Alternating lights and darks also give a sense of rhythm.
Visual rhythm makes you think of the rhythms you hear in music or dance,

https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-The-Rhythm-of-Life/83799/1258073/view

7. Proportion or Scale - The comparative relationship of one part to another with regards to size. It is
also the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work. Proportions give a sense of size seen as a
relationship of objects such as smallness or largeness.

8. Unity - It can be accomplished by using all elements and some principles to create a pleasing image.
Unity is the feeling that everything in the work of art works together and looks like it fits

https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/61572719876202986/

9. Contrast- Contrast can provide interest and excitement in an artwork or to any visual experience. Two
things that are very different create a lot of contrast (complementary colors, for example)

KEY POINTS
ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES OF ART line is the strongest and most important and influential. Without line
there can be no shape. Without shape there can be no form. Without form there can be no texture and
there can be no pattern. Lines are powerful tools that can be used smartly to lead the viewers eyes
towards the point of interest in a photograph, and alter the overall feeling and mood of an image. Line
can be considered as the oldest, simplest, and universal elements for creating visual arts.
The Elements of Visual Arts include Line, Shape, Form, Space, Color, Texture and Value.
line is the strongest and most important and influential. Without line there can be no shape. Without
shape there can be no form.
Kinds of Line
Vertical Line - Vertical lines depict power and strength stability, simplicity, poise or stature and
dynamism. An example of vertical line can be a man standing, a tall tree, a tall building and even statues
of saints. Some monuments of heroes with vertical lines suggest honor and dignity.
Horizontal Lines - Horizontal line is basically associated with rest and repose. It suggests serenity and
quietness, relaxation and reflection, stability and inaction Landscape often impart a feeling of tranquility
because of supremacy of horizontal line like the bodies of water meeting the sky in a sunset scene which
is commonly called horizon.
3. Diagonal Lines - Diagonal lines are lines of action and movement. 1t also suggests impulse, will power,
aspiration, passion, and emotion. Almost all artworks that suggest actions, assumes to have diagonal
lines.
4. Curved Lines - Curved Lines - It is considered as "line of grace" and of beauty". It is associated with
smooth movements In graceful dance, simple smile or a tree bending because of heavy weight of fruits, 5.
5. Jagged Lines -Jagged lines is associated with pointed and sharp object that signifies difficulty and
discomfort. It also shows violence, torture, confusion, and conflict.
or even curly hair.

2. Shape is an enclosed area or surface. It can be easily identified because when a line crosses itself or
intersects with other lines to enclose a space it creates a shape. Shape is the principal element of
identification. For that shape to be successfully identifiable, it needs to be in strong contrast with its
surroundings so that it is detached from the clutter around it
a. Geometric Shape
Its origin came from mathematical perspective. It includes Circles, Squares, rectangles and
triangles. We see them in architecture and manufactured items. Geometric shape can be Rectilinear or
Curvilinear. There are also Geometric shapes in different cultures and Geometric shapes in Contemporary
arts.

b. Organic or biomorphic Shape –


Oftentimes we see them in nature and with characteristics that are free flowing, informal and irregular.
These shapes derived from any living organisms. Trees, flowers, birds, fishes and even sea shells are
organic shapes.

3. FORM
It is the overall design of an artwork. It describes the structure of shape and object from the different
perspective. The organization of the object or thing in the entire composition is what makes form
identifiable.

4. SPACE
Space is the surface or the area within the artwork. It constitutes the area or distance, between, around,
above or within things. Artist who deals in painting and architecture consider space to be of great
importance.
5. COLOR
Color can be considered as the most expressive of all the elements of art. Colors can be easily recognize
in any visual experience. The primary source of colors came from light. We enjoy the beauty of nature
and things around us through colors with the aid of light,
PROPERTIES OF COLOR

1. HUE - is the name of a color and the property which distinguishes one color from another. The major
hues are such as red, blue, or yellow.

2. VALUE - Value is the lightness or darkness of a hue (color). The value of a hue can be changed by
adding black or white.

3. INTENSITY -Intensity is the brightness or dullness of a hue (color). Pure hues are high-intensity colors.
Dull hues are low-intensity colors.
CLASSIFICATION OF COLOR
1. Primary Colors - are hues which can be mixed to create all other colors. Primary Colors are basic and
cannot be mixed from other elements. They are to color what prime numbers are to mathematics. One
can mix to primaries to get a Secondary Color.
2. Secondary Colors - are the hues between the primary hues on the color wheel. The secondary colors
are is a combination of equal amount of two primaries. To get orange, you mi equal parts of red and
yellow. To get Violet, you mix equal parts of red and blue. To get green, you mix equal parts of blue and
yellow.
3. Intermediate Colors - These colors are created by mixing a secondary color with a primary color like
red-orange, red- violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange.

4. Tertiary Colors - are created by mixing two complementary colors or mixing two colors that are
opposite from each other on the color wheel. One example is orange combined with green will result to
Citron (yellowish gray), orange mixed with violet will result to Russet (Reddish Gray) and green combined
with violet will result to buff (Bluish Gray).
5. Warm and Cool Colors - Color can be associated with warmth and coldness in which the artist
considered in any composition. All colors can be grouped as cool colors and warm colors. Warm colors
express warmth; they are red, yellow and orange like sun, fire and golden fields.

COLOR HARMONY - is the correct arrangement or combination of colors. It creates a pleasing


arrangement which is essential in any visual experience. It also delivers visual interest and a sense of
order. In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye.
COLOR SCHEME - In color theory, a color scheme is the choice of colors. Color schemes are used to
create style and appeal.
1. Complementary Color Scheme- Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered
to be complementary colors (example: red and green) Complementary color schemes are tricky to use in
large doses, but work well when you want something to stand out. The high contrast of complementary
colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation
2. Analogous Color Scheme - Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color
wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs. Analogous color schemes are
often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Make sure you have enough contrast
when choosing an analogous color scheme.
3. Triadic Color Scheme - A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color
wheel. A Triadic color schemes tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of
your hues. To use a triadic harmony successfully, the colors should be carefully balanced. Let one color
dominate and use the two others for accent.
4. Split-Complementary Color Scheme - is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to
the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement
5. Rectangle or Tetradic Color Scheme - uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This
rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation.

6. Square Color Scheme - The square color scheme is similar to the rectangle, but with all four colors
spaced evenly around the color circle. Square color schemes work best if you let one color be dominant.
You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design.

PSYCHOLOGY OF COLORS - Colors are known to have varied psychological and emotional connotation.
Thus, the meaning of color and its symbolism changes from one culture to other, Philippines has
distinctive symbolism and meaning of colors in the diverse cultural groups. Christianity has its own
meaning of colors. Thus, artist in the Philippines have strong influence from the western world regarding
symbolism and meaning of colors.

Black - Death, despair, gloom, sorrow (for fashion; elegance), mourning and darkness

Violet - Royalty, Dull, penance, mourning, and power.
White Purity, Clarity, Simplicity, Virginity, Peace, surrender, meekness, goodness and mourning
Yellow - Joyful, Life, Vibrant, Sunshine, Happiness, warmth and cowardice

6. VALUE - Right next to color, value can suggest emotional and dramatic impression by using lightness
and darkness in composition. Value is referred to Chiaroscuro meaning lightness and darkness (from the
Italian word chiaro "clear" and oscuro "dark". Thus

Tint, Shades and Tones


If a color is made lighter by adding white, the result is called a tint. black is added, the darker
version is called a shade. And if gray is dded, the result is a different tone.

7. TEXTURE
Texture is found in all visual arts. It is the elements that deals primarily with the sense of touch or
the tactile sensation or stimuli. It is how the surface in a ceratin composition feels.

Kinds of Texture
1. Actual Texture
Texture is capable of moving your deep emotions than any other elements. It refers to the real
texture of an object
2. Implied or Simulated Texture
Simulated texture is the imitation of real texture or real objects. It is obtained through visual
effects with the aid of other elements
PRINCIPLES OF ART
Principles of design is used to organize the elements of art in a certain composition. Basically, it is
the strategies in creating a good and beautiful design. It is the proper arrangement of different elements
to come up with a pleasurable art experience for the viewers

1. Emphasis- In visual art, emphasis or subordination is the focal point or the center of interest in an
artwork, it catches our attention so easily while the rest are subordinated.

2. Balance - It has something to do with visual weight. An artist deliberately uses other elements like
value, color and texture to create visual weight and balance.
There are three kinds of Balance
a. Symmetrical Balance - The most stable among the kinds of balance is symmetrical Balance or formal
balance, When one side of the composition mirrors the other.

b. Asymmetrical Balance or informal balance - it is achieved when one side of the composition does not

reflect the design of the other but visually balanced.

C. Radial Balance - elements and objects had a central point. There is a circular distribution of elements
and objects in a composition,

3. Harmony - Harmony is essential to beauty. It is achieved by using similar elements and establishing
pleasing relationship with other elements through a body of work
4. Variety - This principle creates an interest and appeal in a body of work. Using differences and change
may result to increasing visual interest.
5. Movement - It adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers- eye
throughout the picture plane.
6. Rhythm- A regular repletion of elements can produce implied movement. Artists create visual rhythm
by repeating art elements and creating patterns.
7. Proportion or Scale - The comparative relationship of one part to another with regards to size. It is also
the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work.
8. Unity - It can be accomplished by using all elements and some principles to create a pleasing image.
9. Contrast- Contrast can provide interest and excitement in an artwork or to any visual experience. Two
things that are very different create a lot of contrast (complementary colors, for example)
