ARTS vs. ART
ARTS also called FINE ARTS, modes of expression that use skill or imagination in the creation of
AESTHETIC objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others.

ART, also called VISUAL ART, is a visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of
skill of imagination.
The term ART encompasses diverse media such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, decorative
arts, photography.
The Seven Elements of Art

1. Line
2. Shape
3. Color
4. Texture
5. Form
6. Value
7. Space

LINE
• A path created by a moving point, mark or object. It is a dot that takes a walk.
• Line can be straight, swirly, wavy, jagged, dotted, dashed, broken, thick, thin, zigzag, diagonal,
vertical, horizontal, curved, bold, parallel or perpendicular.
• Lines is an associated with the body’s axis as it moves towards different direction and adjusts
to a point of reference through various positions and actions such as walking, standing,

work of art.
• It is also referred to as "Hue".
• The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.
• The secondary colors are created by mixing the primary colors. They are purple (violet), orange
and green.
• is associated with our experiences of cold and warmth, and the quality of light in our tropical
environment, the cycles of night and day, of darkness and light. One of its aspects is hue, which
has to do with how light waves of various lengths and rapidity of vibrations bounce off objects
and enter our eyes. a hue is said to be warm when it has longer wavelengths and is more distinct
and easily discernible, for example: red, orange, and yellow. Cool hues such as blue or violet has
shorter wavelengths, and seem to merge into each other.
• ISs the elements of art that is produce when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye.

TEXTURE
• How something feels or looks like it would feel if you could touch it.
• There are two kinds of texture: REAL (how something actually feels, such as a sculpture) and
IMPLIED (when an artist paints or draws a texture but it is artificial).
• Refers to how objects and surfaces feel, and is most associated with the sense of touch and
tactility.
• In art stimulates the senses of sight and touch and refers to the tactile quality of the surface of
the art.

EXAMPLE OF REAL

EXAMPLE OF REPLIED

FORM
• Objects having three dimensions (3D), or height, width, and depth. You can walk around a
form.
• Examples of form can include cubes, cylinders, and spheres.
• The visual arts are forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, designs, crafts, photography
video, printmaking, literature and architecture.
• Describe volume and mass

VALUE
• The lightness or darkness of an object. The degree of lightness or darkness. The effect of light
and shade in a picture.
• Value vocabulary includes TINT (adding white to make something lighter), SHADE (adding
black to make something darker) and HUE (the true color).
• Shadow, highlight, and light source are also some vocabulary words to consider with this
element of art.
• Refers to gradation of tone from light to dark, which can be an aspect of color.
• Deals directly to light. We see things because light reflects off of objects and goes into our eyes

SPACE
• The element of art that refers to the emptiness or area around or within objects.
• POSITIVE SPACE refers to the part of the artwork that takes up space.
• NEGATIVE SPACE is the area around that object.
• This element of art also refers to the "parts" of the picture... Foreground, Middleground and
Background.
• Involves the relationship between figures and elements. It is also refers to how this elements are
organized and composed according to principles of organization, among them balance,
proportion, rhythm, unity, in variety, dominance and subordination.
• Includes the background, foreground and middle ground and refers to the distances or area
around, between and within things.

LESSON: 1.2
THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF ART

1. Harmony
 Harmony in art and design is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related
elements.
 For instance: adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar shapes etc.

2. Balance
 A feeling of equality in weight, attention, or attraction of the various visual elements
within the pictorial field as a means of accomplishing organic unity.
 SYMMETRY: A form of balance achieved by the use of identical balance compositional
units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.

3. Proportion
 Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in
scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts.
 Differing proportions within a composition can relate to different kinds of balance or
symmetry, and can help establish visual weight and depth.
