III. INTRODUCTION ELEMENT OF ARTS The element of arts is “the building blocks” of art and it is also the basic components of artmaking. This is the vocabulary we use to describe works of art. Element of art are stylistic features that are included within an art piece to help the artist to communicate. The seven (7) most common elements include line, shape, form, space, texture, color, and value. The element of art is important for several reasons. First, it is impossible to create a work of art without using at least one of the seven elements of art. Second, knowing what the elements of art will enables us to describe what an artist has done, analyze what is going on in a particular piece/art. Third, it is both fun and useful. IV. BODY Line A path created by a moving point, mark, or object. Line can be straight, swirly, wavy, jagged, dotted, dashed, broken, thick, thin, zig zag, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, curved, bold, parallel, or perpendicular. Its length is greater than its width and it can be two or three dimensional, implied, or abstract. It is also the foundation of drawing. 1 Pamantasan ng Cabuyao College of Education, Arts, and Sciences Katapatan Homes Subd. Brgy. Banay-banay, City of Cabuyao Psychological response to different types of lines: Curved lines suggest comfort and ease. Horizontal lines suggest distance and calm. Vertical lines suggest height and strength. Jagged lines suggest turmoil and anxiety. The way artists draw a line can convey different expressive qualities: Freehand lines can express the personal energy and mood of the artist. Mechanical lines can express a rigid control. Continuous lines can lead the eye in certain directions. Broken lines can express the ephemeral or the insubstantial. Thick lines can express strength. Thin lines can express delicacy. Shape It is a two-dimensional (2D), closed contour, or a defined area. When a line crosses over itself it creates a shape. It can be geometric, such as squares or triangles or they can be organic and not have defined parameters and are more curved and abstract. Shapes are everywhere and all objects have shape. A shape’s boundaries are defined by other elements of art such as lines, values, colors, and textures. Examples of shapes could be geometric, organic/natural, irregular, circle, square, rectangle, diamond, oval, crescent, heart, triangle, octagon, and many more. Form Form is a three-dimensional object that has volume (length, width, and height). When shape acquires depth and becomes three dimensional, it takes on form. Form is also used to describe the physical nature of the artwork, as in metal sculpture, an oil painting, etc. Form can be geometric or organic. Geometric forms are forms that can be named associated with them and are typically man-made. Examples: sphere, cube, pyramid, cone, and cylinder. 2 Pamantasan ng Cabuyao College of Education, Arts, and Sciences Katapatan Homes Subd. Brgy. Banay-banay, City of Cabuyao Organic forms are those free-flowing, curvy, and are not symmetrical. It does not have specific names associated with them. They most often occur in nature, as in the shape of flowers, branches, leaves, clouds, animal, human figure, etc. But can also be found in the fanciful buildings of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, and in many sculptures. Space Space is the emptiness, distance, or area between, around, above, below, or within things. Space can be positive or negative. Positive space is an area occupied by an objector form. Negative space is the area that runs between, through, and around or within objects. This includes background, foreground, and middle ground. V.
