Topic Background Information/Concepts Notes: (Briefly discuss or present the lesson/topic/concept. Whenever
possible, cite examples, illustrations, etc.)
In order to understand how to describe a painting or a sculpture, it is important to comprehend first the visual elements
of art. These visual elements of art are line, color, shape, space, value, texture, time and motion.
ARTS AND VISUAL ELEMENTS
Line
This refers to a prolongation of a point or a mark on a surface.
Solid lines can be used in order to define form while broken lines are
typically used to suggest hidden forms.
Shape and Mass
This element refers to an area with boundaries identified or drawing lines.
A shape may be natural or living forms called an organic shape and can
be irregular or rounded. It may also be measured forms called geometric
shape. In contrast to shape which is two-dimensional, mass refers to solid
portions of a three-dimensional object.
Color
This refers to visual perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way various wavelengths of light
are reflected. Color is a very important element because it can communicate information and emotion to the viewer.
These are the three properties of color:
• Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in the color wheel.
• Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color. A light color or tint is the result of adding white to a hue,
while a dark color or shade results from adding black to a hue.
•Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of color. It is also referred to as purity of the color. A bright color
can be produced by adding more pigment to the same hue, while a dull color can be produced by adding gray or the
color’s complement to the pigment.
The color wheel is an arrangement of primary, secondary and tertiary colors.
It is important tool to identify which colors can work well if used in a certain
artwork which is the color schemes or color relationships. These are some
of the color schemes:
Color Schemes
HSD-FO-003
• Monochromatic – involves using the same hue but with different gradients of value.
• Analogous – entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color wheel.
• Complementary – involves the use of a color and its complement
-meaning the color located opposite of the first color.
• Split-complementary – a close relative to the complementary color scheme. But instead of using the color’s
complement, this scheme uses the two colors adjacent to the complement.
• Triadic – uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other.
• Tetradic – also known as double complementary color scheme, this uses two pairs of complementary colors.
Texture
This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface. A. person
may describe as actual or implied. Actual texture can be felt tangibly
based on the material that is used for the artwork while implied texture
can be exhibited, for instance, in a painting of fur of an animal.
Value
This element refers to lightness or darkness of an area. This is evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional
object to give an illusion of depth.
Space
Space refers to the area that is occupied by an object or a subject, as well as the area surrounding that object or
subject. An illusion of space can still be created in a two-dimensional surface using perspective. There are two types of
perspective: atmospheric perspective, which utilizes the properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance;
and linear perspective, which involves the use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines.
Time and Motion
Movement in the visual arts can either be an illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of movement is more common in
two-dimensional artworks. On the other hand, actual motion is easily seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind
or are vibrating with the surrounding air.
PAINTING
FORMS OF PAINTING:
Easel Painting
The easel painting is perhaps the most common form of painting which involves
applying color to a board or canvas that is fixed on an upright support called an
HSD-FO-003
easel. These are meant to be framed and hanged on a wall after
creating them.
Murals
A mural is described as a huge wall-sized painting used to impart messages to
the public. A new form of. mural which is a portable mural, was developed in
order to prevent the mural from being erased from the wall which was created by
using bold strokes in applying bright colors on pieces of cheesecloth or canvas.
Telon Painting
A telon is describes as a backdrop or background for the stage which are used for
komedya, sarswela, and sinakulo, the popular forms of theater in the country.
Jeepney and Calesa Painting
The calesa is typically painted using one color. The borders of the calesa are
decorated with geometric patterns, repetitive patterns, and/or thin lines.
Jeepney painting evolved from calesa painting. In a typical jeepney, a logo,
number, or painting is covered near the driver’s seat, as well as near the seats
adjacent. to it.
Collage
This refers to a form of painting that involves combine images in a single artwork.
This entails cutting and pasting materials such as paper, fabric, tin foil and other
relatively flat.materials onto a board or canvas.
THEMES OF PAINTING:
Genre Painting
Genre painting portrays people in daily activities. During the contemporary period,
genre painting took several directions. One of these new approaches is folk genre,
which mainly focuses on the everyday activities of the folk. Another approach is
using the style of cubism in depicting folk or urban subjects. On the other hand,

scene, and the Station of the Cross.
Still Life
This refers to a painting that depicts natural or man-made objects that form a composition in a natural setting. A lot of
styles can be used by artists in painting, ranging from Baroque and Rococo, to impressionism, expressionism, and
abstract. Neo-realism involves creating representational figures that also look abstract; hyperrealism or magic realism,
the subject is painted in a highly realistic way that it resembles a photograph and social realism entails creating
paintings that depicts socioeconomic and political problems.
SCULPTURE AND OTHER FORMS OF VISUAL ARTS
GENERAL KINDS OF SCULPTURE:
Free-standing
This is a kind of sculpture that can independently stand in space. It has a flat
horizontal base. All its sides contribute to the overall form of the sculpture.
Relief
This kind of sculpture does not have a flat horizontal base. The form is projected
from a flat surface. There are two types of relief – low relief or bas-relief which is
slightly from the flat surface; and high relief. Cagayan de Oro’s Legendary River
Monster is an example of relief sculpture.

pieces of paper, sponges, wood scraps, and other materials. A good example of
this is Lamberto Hechanova’s Man and Woman.

parts of the sculpture are moving with the wind or are vibrating with the
surrounding air.

this process.
•Goldsmithing and silversmithing

Multimedia
This consist of works that involves the use of other senses in appreciating those works aside from the sense of vision.
•Conceptual Art
In this type of multimedia, a visual artist “ideates or sets up a situation, placing philosophical value in the process itself
