Elements of Visual Art

Lesson Three of Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions

Introduction

  • Welcome to lesson three of contemporary Philippine arts from the regions.
  • Today's lesson is about the elements of visual art.
  • The elements of visual art provide a starting point for understanding and creating art.
  • There are seven elements of art: line, shape, form, space, texture, color, and value.

Line

  • Line refers to the continuous mark made by a moving point on a surface.
  • Line can be used in various ways to suggest shape, structure, depth, movement, emotions, and more.
  • Different types of lines convey different concepts, values, and feelings.
  • Examples of lines include horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, curved, and jagged lines.

Line in Sculpture & Installation Art

  • Line is often integrated into sculpture and installation art.
  • An example is Megan Ge's outdoor installation 'Were Rewritten by Machine in New Technology', which features colored tape lines resembling flames.
  • Another example is Philip Case Smith's 'One Fourth Mile Arc', an installation at Laguna Beach made of mirrors reflecting the sunsets.

Horizontal Lines

  • Horizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest or repos.
  • Examples of objects or imagery with horizontal lines are sunsets.

Vertical Lines

  • Vertical lines often show dignity, formality, and strength.
  • Examples include trees, buildings, and lamp posts.

Diagonal Lines

  • Diagonal lines can suggest action and excitement.
  • Examples of zigzag lines are zigzag roads or stairs.

Curved Lines

  • Curved lines suggest grace, beauty, and playfulness.
  • An obvious example would be the human body.

Jagged Lines

  • Jagged lines suggest turmoil and anxiety.
  • No specific examples are provided.

Shape

  • Shape is when the beginning of a line connects with its own end or intersects with another.
  • Shapes indicate the general outline of an object and can be two-dimensional.
  • There are two types of shapes: geometric and organic.

Geometric Shapes

  • Geometric shapes are basic shapes like squares, rectangles, circles, and cubes.
  • Examples of geometric shapes can be found in crystal shapes and processed gemstones.
  • Artists like Hans use cut paper to mimic geometric shapes in their artwork.

Organic Shapes

  • Organic shapes are free-form and often derived from nature and living organisms.
  • Examples of organic shapes can be found in Victoria Addis' painting 'The Builders'.
  • Another example is On Mat's 'P the sea', inspired by organic shapes under the sea.

Form

  • Form refers to the volume of a shape, including its height, width, and length.
  • It is often associated with sculpture, 3D design, and architecture.
  • An example of form in art is Michelangelo's sculptures 'David' and 'Pieta'.

Illusion of 3D

  • Form can also relate to the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface.
  • An example is Fiona Tan's artwork 'Humpback Whale', which uses the corner of the room to create a pop-out effect.
  • Another example is Peter's artwork, where the corner of the building is utilized to achieve a 3D effect.

Conclusion

  • This concludes part one of Lesson Three on the elements of visual arts.
  • Stay tuned for the next video. Thank you!
