2. LINES
Lines are one of the many
elements of art and are
regarded as the most basic
among all elements of art.
3. In drawing anything, a line is the very first
thing you scribble on your paper.
Everything starts in a line. With art, line is
not just straight. It can be curvy, crooked,
zigzag and others. It can show depth and
movement, describe edges, and can be
used to highlight certain parts of the
artwork.

5. ORGANIC LINES
Organic lines are asymmetrical and
curve. They do not follow the shape of
any geometrical figure. They do not
follow any rules. These lines are lines
found in nature. Drawing organic lines
would express fluidity, gracefulness.
Enthusiasm, and naturalness.

8. As you see, organic lines are irregular
and these lines are always used to draw
nature, hence having the term “organic”
or natural. In drawing organic lines, the
key is to find the central area of your
drawing and make your drawing develop
from there. This will make your organic
line drawing more fluid and graceful
9. INORGANIC LINES
Inorganic lines are the complete
opposite of organic lines. They are
regular and follow a geometrical pattern
and a geometric shape. They are rigid
and follow certain rules. These lines are
used when drawing man-made
structures like a house or a car.

12. These lines are usually your basic
shapes such as squares, triangles, and
rectangles. These shapes are rarely
found in nature. These are often used in
making designs of buildings, furniture,
and others. An inorganic line
demonstrates control over nature, thus,
having its rigid characteristics compared
to the fluidity of an organic line.
16. Color is another important element of art
that is made whenever light strikes on an object
and is reflected back to one’s eye. You cannot
see colors without light.
Colors give life to everything. They make
everything very interesting.
17. There are three properties of
color
1. HUE which is basically the name of
the colors (red, blue, green, and others.
18. 2. INTENSITY which talks about
brightness or dullness of hue and
is changed by mixing a color with
its complement
19. 3. VALUE the lightness and darkness
of colors or shades adjusted by
adding black or white shades create
the value.
20. Primary Colors
Primary colors are the root of every hue imaginable.
These are red, blue, and yellow hues.
They are called primary colors because these
colors can only be obtained by using natural pigments.
They cannot be created by mixing two other colors. Also,
all the colors from the color wheel are created by mixing
primary colors together. Think of the primary colors as
the parents in the family of colors.
21.
22. Secondary Colors
Mixing any two primary colors produces the secondary
colors. This will give you three new colors. These are
orange, purple, and green.
Think of the secondary colors as the children in the
family of colors. The intensity of the secondary color
depends on the proportion in which you mix the two
primary colors. For instance, if you mix more yellow than
red, you will get a lighter shade of orange (yellowish
orange, while if you mix more red than yellow, you will have
a darker intensity of orange (red orange).
