These are the guide
questions:

1.How does the shapes

and forms define the
subject of the artwork?
2.How does colors create
mood or emotion in this
Elements of Art
1.Line -an element of art that is used to
define shape, contours, and outlines, also
to suggest mass and volume. It may be a
continuous mark made on a surface with a
pointed tool or implied by the edges of
shapes and forms.
*Line -may come in two 8
characteristics:
1. form – curved, dotted, or broken
lines;
Horizontal Line creates an impression of serenity
and perfect stability.

Vertical Line creates an impression of strength

and perfect stability.

Diagonal Line creates an impression of

action .
 Circular Line creates an impression of
abrupt change of direction

 Curved Line creates an impression of gradual

change of direction.
Lines can be classified as:
a)Outlines are made by the edge of an object or its silhouette.
b)Contour Lines describe the shape of an object and
the interior detail.
c) Expressive Lines catch the movement and gestures
of an active figure.
d)Sketch Lines capture the appearance of an object
or impression of a place.
e) Calligraphic Lines are the elegant handwriting or
lettering done by hand.
f) Implied Lines are lines that are not actually drawn
but created by a group of objects seen from a
distance.
2.Shape
Shape-is an area that is enclosed by a line or
lines. Shapes are two dimensional figures with
height and width. There are different kinds of
shapes and these are geometric shapes,
organic shapes, positive shapes, negative
shapes, static shapes, and dynamic shapes.
a)Geometric Shapes- are
circles,squares,rectangles, triangles, and other
geometric shapes.
b)Organic Shapes- are shapes found in nature
and are free flowing, informal and irregular
(abstract shapes).
c)Positive Shapes- are the solid forms in a design.
d)Negative Shapes- are the space around the positive
shape.
e)Static Shapes- are shapes that appears stable and
resting.
f)Dynamic Shapes- are shapes that appears
3. Color

Colors are the way we see light reflected

from a surface or refracted through a
prism. Colors we see in nature are
reflections of light on the surfaces around
us. We can classify colors into primary
colors, secondary colors, tertiary
colors, analogous colors,
complementary colors,
 Primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.
 Secondary colors are the resulting colors when
the two of the primary colors are mix. The
secondary colors are purple, green, and
orange.
 Tertiary colors are the resulting colors when two
of the primary and/or secondary colors are mix.
The tertiary colors are amber, vermilion,
magenta, violet, teal, and chartreuse.
 Analogous Colors are colors that lie nest to each
other based on the color wheel. Example of
analogous colors are yellow, orange, and red.
 Complementary colors- are colors that are opposite
to each other based on the color wheel. Examples of
complementary colors are red and green, blue and
orange, and purple and yellow.
 Monochromatic Colors- are several values of one color.
 Warm colors- are colors that give the feeling of
warmth. The warm colors are yellow, amber, orange,
vermilion, red, and magenta.
 Cool colors- are colors that give the feeling of
coolness. The cool colors are purple, violet, blue,
teal, green, and chartreuse.
4. Space
refers to distances or areas around,
between or within components of a
piece and refers to the arrangement
of objects on the picture plane (two-
dimensional). In visual arts, space
may either be positive space or
negative space.
• Positive space refers to a part which is enclosed in a
shape.
• Negative space refers to the opposite part which the shape
is enclosing
PERSPECTIVE- is a technical means by which we perceive
distance in painting, by which we are made to see the position
of objects in space.
A. In one-point perspective, we perceive that the position of
objects meets at one point on the horizontal line.

B. In two-point perspective, we perceive that the position of

objects meets at two points on the horizontal line.
 5. Texture
Texture is the element that appeals to our sense of feel on
things- rough or smooth, bumpy or slippery. It is the
character of the surface of an artwork.

a. Real texture is the actual texture of an object. Artist may

create real texture in art to give it visual interest or
evoke a feeling.
b. Implied texture made a piece of art to look like a certain
texture. Like a drawing of a tree trunk may look rough but in
fact it is just a smooth piece of paper.
Value
ue pertains to the lightness or darkness of a color in a given artwork.
lue can be changed by adding white or black to a color and these
scribed as tint and shade.

• Tint pertains to the lightness of a

color.
• Shade pertains to the darkness of a
color.
7. Form
- is the three-dimensionality of an object.
It has dimensions of height, width, and
length.
Principles of Arts
Rhythm
-refers to the repetition of certain elements to produce a pattern.

Movement
- is the illusion of motion in a painting, sculpture, or design.

Proportion
- refers to the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work.

Contrast
This principle shows differences between elements of art in an
artwork. It shows how stronger each element of art in relation
to one another.
Principles of Arts
Balance
Balance refers to the visual weight in a picture. It refers to
the even distribution of positions of elements in an artwork.
The principle of balance can be symmetrical or
asymmetrical.
 Symmetrical balance refers to an artwork wherein its
both sides has the same elements in the same position.
Asymmetrical balance refers to an artwork wherein it is
balance through the contrast or differences of any of the
elements of art.
 Harmony

This principle of art refers to the unity of an artwork. It is about the arrangement of the related elements that makes an artwork to be viewed as a whole.

Elements and Principles of Art

These are the guidelines in doing the activity.

1. In doing the activity, you should illustrate four elements of
art and four principles of art based on your understanding
about the lesson. The four elements of art that you will
illustrate are line, color, shape, and space; while the four
principles of art that you will illustrate are rhythm, contrast,
harmony, and balance. The materials needed in this activity
are pencil, coloring materials, markers, erasure, ruler, and
other art materials.

LONG BONDPAPER
The upper four sections on the bond paper correspond to the four elements of
art, while the lower four sections correspond to the four principles of art that
you will illustrate.
