3. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
1. LINE
• A line refers to a point moving at an identifiable path-it has length
and direction. It also has width.
• A quality that is ascribed to lines is its ability to direct the eyes to
follow movement or provide hints as to a work’s focal point.
a. Horizontal and Vertical lines – refers to the orientation of the line.
Horizontal lines are normally associated with rest or calm. Vertical lines,
on the other hand, connote elevation or height, which is usually taken
to mean exaltation or aspiration for action.
4. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
1. LINE
b. Diagonal and crooked lines – diagonal lines convey movement and
instability, although the progression can be seen. Crooked or jagged
lines, on the other hand, are reminiscent of violence, conflict or
struggle.
c. Curved lines – these are lines that bend or coil. They allude to
softness, grace, flexibility, or even sensuality.
5. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
1. LINE
Sample artwork with LINE as dominant visual components:
• “The Raft of Medusa” (1818-1819) by Theodore Gericault
6. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
2-3. SHAPE AND FORM
• Shape refers to two dimensions: height and width.
• Form refers to three dimensions: height, width, and depth.
Two categories can be used to distinguish the two:
a. Geometric – these shapes find origin in mathematical propositions.
These includes shapes such as squares, triangles, cubes circles,
spheres, and cones, among others.
b. Organic – organic shapes are those readily occurring in nature,
often irregular and asymmetrical.
7. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
2-3. SHAPE AND FORM
Shapes may also be implied. For
instance, Raphael’s famous
painting “The Madonna of the
Meadows (1505)” depict three
figures: Mary, the young Jesus
(right), and the young John the
Baptist (left). The positions in
which the group takes allude to a
triangular shape reinforce by the
garb of Mary.
8. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
4. SPACE
• Real Space is three-dimensional.
• Sculptures are perfect example of artworks that bear this element.
However this can only be manifested in two-dimensional artworks
through the use of different techniques, or the use (or non-use) of
area around a drawing or picture
9. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
5. COLOR
• Color enhances the appeal of an artwork. This element is a property
of light, as it reflected off the object. Color is not intrinsic to an object
and without light, one cannot perceive color.
11. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
5. COLOR
The properties of color:
a. Hue – this dimension of color give its name. it can be subdivided
into:
• Primary colors – red, yellow, and blue
• Secondary colors – green, orange, and violet
• Tertiary colors – six in total, these hues are achieved when primary
and secondary colors are mixed.
12. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
5. COLOR
The properties of color:
b. Value – this refers to the brightness or darkness of color. Often, this
is used by artists to create the illusion of depth and solidity, a particular
mood, communicate a feeling, or in establishing a scene (e.g., day and
night).
• Light colors – taken as the source of light in the composition
• Dark colors – the lack or even absence of light
13. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
5. COLOR
The properties of color:
c. Intensity – this is the color’s brightness or dullness. It is identified as
the strength of color, whether it is vivid or muted. To achieve a specific
intenstity of a color, one may add either gray or its complementary
color.
• Bright or warm colors – positive energy
• Dull or cool colors – sedate/soothing, seriousness or calm
14. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
6. TEXTURE
TEXTURE – like space, texture can be either real or implied. This
element in an artwork is experienced through the sense of touch (and
sight). This element renders the art object tactile.

court painter Frans Pourbus
the Younger, Princess
Margherita’s garb is adorned
in opulent bead and stitch
work that are befitting her
rank.
16. ELEMENTS OF VIRTUAL ARTS:
6. TEXTURE
a. Textures in the two-dimensional plane – texture can be implied
using one technique or a combination of other elements of art. By
creating this visual quality in artwork, one can imagine how the
surface will feel if it was to be touched. To be able to simulate the
texture of a surface in a flat, two-dimensional plan is one important
skill that an artist must be familiar with.
b. Surface texture – refers to the texture of the three-dimensional art
object.
19. • Often associated to the terms beat,
meter, and tempo, rhythm is the element
of music that situates it in time.
• It is the pulse of the music. Beat is basic
unit of music while tempo refers to its

organized into a recognizable recurrent
pattern called the meter.

• Pitch is the
highness or lowness
of musical sound.
25.
26. Harmony
• If melody is horizontal,
harmony is vertical, It arises
when pitches are combined
to from chords. When
several noted are
simultaneously played.
• Harmony can be
described in terms of its
“harshness” dissonance or a
harsh-sounding
combination; or
consonance, the smooth-
sounding combination.
27. Timbre
• Timbre is often likened to the color of
music. It is a quality that distinguishes a
voice or an instrument from another.
28. Texture
MONOPHONIC- SINGLE
MELODIC LINE
POLYPHONIC- TWO OR
MORE MELODIC LINES
HOMOPHONIC- MAIN
MELODY ACCOMPANIED
BY CHORDS
The number of melodies, the type of layers, and their relatedness
in a composition is the texture of music. It may be:
36. Emotional
appeal
– is attained when the reader is

Tangere and El Filibusterismo, are good
illustrations of literature of intellectual
appeal.

Don’t you realize that it is a useless life which
is not consecrated to a great idea? It is a stone
wasted in the fields without becoming part of
any edifice. (Simoun to Basilio)

as they said to be Said one to the others, now listen,
you two, There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true That
man descended from our noble race The very idea! It’s
desire disgrace! No monkey ever deserted his wife,
Starved his children and ruined their lives. And you’ve
never known a mother monk To leave her baby with
others to bunk Or pass them on from one to another
‘Till they hardly know who is their mother And another
thing, you will never see A monk build a fence round a
coconut tree And let the coconut go to the waste
Forbidding all the monk to the taste. Starvation would
force you to steal from me. Besides, what monk would
smoke a pipe and burn the trees, pollute his hair and
kill himself?
Here’s another thing a monk won’t do Go out at night
and get a stew Or use his gun or club or knife To take
some other monkey’s life Yes! Man descended, the
ornery cuss, But brother, he didn’t descend from us!!!

46. Don’t Quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a person turns about
When they might have won had they stuck it out
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow…
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup
And he learned too late when the night came
down
How close he was to the golden crown.
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit…
Rest if you must but don’t you quit.
47. Success is failure turned inside out…
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit…
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t
quit. -Anonymous

rather than an artifact, by
nature ephemeral, though it is often
recorded on video and by means of

49. What is overlapping
in art?
• he technique of
overlapping in a

the elements in a drawing,
painting, or

dimension
50. What Is Graffiti
