Composition of the Art
• Subject Matter
• Form
• Content
• Medium
• Technique
Page 2
• Subject Matter
- anything that could ignite the artist’s
imagination, prompting him to create.
Kinds:
a. Representational or Objective art
b. Non-representational or non-
objective art
Page 3
• Form
– it includes all the visual aspects of the work.
Content
- it is what the artist is trying to express or communicate in his
work.
Medium
- it is the means by which an artist translate his feelings and
thoughts into form.
Technique
- it is how the artist selects and arranges his materials to achieve
a specific effect.

Visual Art
• Formal analysis
- centers on the medium and
technique, concerned primarily with visual
aesthetics and the organization of the
elements
• Contextual analysis
- Concentrates on the aspects
outside of the work.
Page 5
Elements of Visual Arts
• Line
• Shape and Form
• Value or tone
• Color
• Texture
• Space
Page 6
Basic Kinds of Line
• Horizontal lines
- suggest a feeling of rest, infinity and perfect
stability.
• Vertical lines
- give an impression of height and dominance
• Diagonal lines
- convey a feeling of action, movement, unrest or
uncertainty
• Curved lines
- create a sense of smoothness, softness and
continuity
Page 7
Shape and Form
• Shape
– Is a two- dimensional figure and usually
defined by lines.
Forms
- exist in three dimensions and can be viewed
from more than one side
Page 8
Value or Tone
• It is the juxtaposition of light and dark. The
lightness or darkness in anything that is
visible.
Page 9
Chiaroscuro
- an Italian term in art for the contrast

between light and dark.
Page 10
Color
• the light reflected off objects.
Properties:
Hue
Value
Intensity

The Color Wheel
Page 12
Color Harmony
• Complementary harmony
- two colors directly opposite one another on the
color wheel.
• Analogous harmony
- colors which are adjacent to one another.
• Triadic
- Three colors equally spaced.
Page 13
Texture
• Actual texture
- the physical property of an art work.
• Visual texture
- influences our perception in viewing an
art work.
Page 14
Space
- a dynamic visual element that interacts
with all the other elements.

Linear Perspective
Page 16
The Principles of Design
• Balance
• Rhythm
• Emphasis and Subordination
• Unity and Variety
Page 17
Balance
- It is an equilibrium that result from looking at the images
and judging them against our ideas of physical structure,
such as gravity, mass and volume.
Kinds:
Symmetrical (formal balance)
- having equal visual weight
Asymmetrical (informal balance)
- having an unequal visual weight

Emphasis and Subordination
Emphasis
- drawing more attention to a
certain parts of the composition.
Subordination
- purposely making other
areas of the composition less visually
interesting.

Painting
• Refers to the application of color, pigment or paint to a

surface or support.
Paint is made of pigment (powdered color) mixed in a

vehicle or binder, a liquid that holds pigment particles
together.

Printing
Techniques:
a. Relief - a printing method in which the surface of the
image to be printed is higher than its background.
b. Intaglio - the areas to be printed are lower than the
surface of the printing plate.
c. Lithography – the printing surface is flat and not raised
as in relief nor depressed as in intaglio, it heavily
depends on the immiscible quality of oil and water.
d. Serigraphy – a screen printing process,
Page 29
Sculpture
- a three-dimensional artwork which may be made through
different processes, such as carving, modeling,
assembling or casting.
Types:
Relief – is a sculpture where figures are projected
from a flat background.
Free standing – it is also called the round sculpture
which may be viewed from more than one position.
Kinetic – sculpture which involves movement.
Ornamental- sculpture which are used for
adornment.

Architecture
• Refers to the art and science of designing and constructing
buildings.
Principles of a good building:

a. Durability –refers to the power to resist stress or force, thus,
making the structure lasting.
b. Utility – is the value of being of practical use to people.
c. Beauty – pertains to the quality of being pleasant to the senses,
thus, giving delight to the onlookers.
Page 34
Mediums of Architecture
• Stone - it is strong in resisting pressure or compression but relatively weak
when subjected to tension.
• Brick – sometimes made of baked clay or simply of sun-dried mud, shares

some qualities of the stone, but it is not as strong.
• Wood – enables to withstand tension as compression, unlike stone.
• Structural steel – this material has tremendous strength, which allows it to

resist both tension and compression.
• Reinforced concrete – resist both tension and compression.
Page 35
Construction Systems
• Post-and-lintel - makes use of two vertical supports
(post) traversed by a horizontal beam (lintel)
• Arch – consists of separate pieces of wedge-shaped

blocks arranged in semicircles.
• Truss- is a system of triangular forms brought together

into a rigid framework.
• Cantilever – uses a beam that extends horizontally into

space beyond its supporting post, yet strong enough to
support walls and floors.
Page 36
Three Basic Orders of Columns
• Doric order – the simplest order, plain, short, thick and
without arches.
• Ionic order – a little more decorative, the capitals consist

of scrolls above the shaft, and the shafts are taller.
• Corinthian order – the most decorative, at the top of the

column, there are decorative elements, like acanthus
leaves.

Stone Funerals
- The very first structure built.
Examples:
a. Menhirs – consist of single upright stone.
b. Dolmen – having two upright stones that
support a horizontal slab.
c. Cromlech – consist of one large flat stone
which is supported by two or more upright
stones
