ELEMENTS OF ART

1. Line- is the path of a moving point. Lines define the edges of shapes and forms.

______________________________

2. Shape- is an area enclosed by line. It is 2 dimensional and can be geometric or

organic.

3. Forms- are 3-Dimesional. They occupy space or give the illusion that they occupy
the space.

4. Color- is the most expressive element of art and is seen by the way light reflects of a
surface and also adds interest and reality to an artwork.

5. Value- is the lightness and darkness of a surface. It is often referred to when

shading. Value is also important in the study of color.

6. Texture- is the actual surface feel or the simulated appearance of roughness,

smoothness and many others.

7
7. Space- is the distance around, between, above, below, and within an object.

PRINCIPLES OF ART

1. Balance- refers to the visual of the elements of the composition. It is a sense that the
painting “feels stable and feels right”.

2. Contrast- is the difference between elements of art in the composition, such that
each element is made stronger in relation to the other.

3. Emphasis- is when the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually
dominant and commands the viewer’s attention.

4. Pattern- is the uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination
thereof.

5. Movement- is the result of using the elements of art such that they move the viewer’s
eye around and within the image.

8
6. Rhythm- is created by movement complied through the repetition of elements of art
in a non-uniform but organized way.

7. Unity/Variety- is visually pleasing agreement among the elements in a design; it is

the feeling that everything in the work of art works together and looks like it fits.

The elements and principles of arts can be found in all forms of art. This include the arts
and crafts of Luzon (Highland and Lowlands). Now, let us discuss on the different arts
