Lesson 2
AESTHETIC ARTS AND CRAFTS
●
●
●
●
The word “esthetic,” meaning
perception, is derived from the Greek
word “eisthesis.”
Alexander Baumgarten, a German
philosopher, popularized it in the 18th
century, a science dedicated to
studying art and beauty
The laws that regulate nature and
beauty, especially visual art, are thus
referred to as esthetic arts (Rader,
1979).
On the other side, the phrase
“Handwerk” comes from the English
word Kraft (Craft), meaning “power” or
“capacity...”
●
●
●
●
It is most frequently employed in
decorative arts or artistic hobbies. It
also refers to using your hands to
utilize your skills for pleasure purposes
or usage. It prefers to do things for
other human purposes and shows its
beauty for another purpose than the
object itself (Dutton, 1990).
Due to the design reform of William
Morris, arts & crafts arose throughout
Europe during the 19th century.
Morris, a communist, felt a designer
should produce finely interwoven
designs using any medium for fruit,
flower, or leaf pattern

PRINCIPLES OF ARTS
●
●
●
●
●
Principles are applied to determine
the organization and standardization
of visual aspects in art
This set of criteria is essential for the
study and evaluation of art.
The principle of art explains how an
artist uses art to generate an outcome
and communicate the artist’s aim
Arts components are visual tools that
artists utilize to construct a
composition.
Visual aspects include line, shape,
color, value, texture, and space. The
principles of art are created by
blending components of art
The following are the basic principle of arts:
1. Harmony
- is established when all parts of one
artwork are interconnected.
- creates a cohesive composition by
employing similar geometric shapes,
lines, and colors
- This means that each element must be
unified and must “hang together” as
one entity. Each element is necessary to
its value and essential to the work
2. Variety
- It is a stable concoction that
demonstrates the mixing principle
- There should be a dominant theme for
you to base to make it more appealing,
so even if your presentation or designs
will be varied, all are related and
connected. It’s done using varied lines,
colors, and forms inside an artwork to
draw attention to certain places or add
visual interest..
3. Balance
- The proportion of conflicting visual
forces is what this term alludes to.
- The axis or the center point is
established to maintain balance
- When forms, colors, textures, or shapes
are harmoniously mixed, it is called art.
There are three approaches to
achieving balance: symmetrical,
asymmetrical, and radically
symmetrical.
4. Movement
- It’s utilized to give a sense of
direction to a piece of art
- The artist uses visual progression to
draw the viewer’s attention to the
artwork’s focal point
5. Emphasis
- refers to an artist’s requirement to
create a focal point inside a work of
art
- This creative aspect is a vital part of
the work, and spectators’ attention
should be drawn to it.
6. Proportion
- When the sizes of the elements in the
artwork are harmoniously
harmonized, a proportion is
established
- To show the human form in the
appropriate proportion, the artist
typically tries to rationally make all of
the composition links. Leonardo da
Vinci's Vitruvian Man is an excellent
picture for displaying the human body's
proportions
7. Rhythm
- is the application of visual patterns to
a piece of art
- Models are made by repeating specific
colors, lines, or shapes in specified
regions of an artwork. In a painting,
they can be utilized to create a variety
of textures. Repetition of lines in
artwork, for example, might make a
rhythm by implying movement.
