11. The Subject of
Art

realism in which the
subject is done the way it
actually looks.
An example of this is the
painting of Araceli Dans,
the Bridal White.

his or her imagination and
alters the subject according
to his or her desire. A
stylized work is a form of
distortion like Norma
Belleza’s painting, the Fiesta.

breaks a part a subject
and rearranges it in a
different manner. The
paintings of the National
Artist Vicente Manansala
belong to this category.

18. 4. Non Objectivism In here,
there is no subject at all-just
an interplay of pure
elements, like line, shape or
color, and so on. A good
example of this is the
painting of Roberto Chabet
which is on Acrylic paper.

20. Elements of Art

21. 1.Space
• Space in visual arts can be defined
as a void, an emptiness which can
either be positive or negative.
• Space refers to the area that is
occupied by an object or a
subject, as well as the area
surrounding that object or
subject.

22. • An illusion of space can still be
created in a two-dimensional
surface using perspective.
There are two types of
perspective:
a. Atmospheric perspective, which
utilizes the properties of light and
air in depicting the illusion of
distance;

24. b. Linear perspective,
which involves the
use of vanishing
points and receding
hidden lines.

26. 2. Line
•Line is the extension of a point.
•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.

28. 3. Shape and Form
• When the ends of a line meet,
they form a shape.
• 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.

30. 4. Color
•Probably the most striking art
element that catches the eye
is color.
•Color is a very important
element because it can
communicate information and
emotion to the viewer.

31. These are the three properties of color:
a. Hue, which refers to the basic or pure
color, and is represented in the color
wheel.
b.Value, which refers to the lightness
and darkness of color.
c. Saturation, which refers to brightness
and dullness of color. It is also
referred to as purity of the color.

32. 5. Value
In visual arts, value is
the degree of
lightness and
darkness of a color.

33. 6. Texture
•Texture is the surface of an
artwork. A texture can be
actual or tactile, meaning, it
can really be felt by touch, or
it can be simulated or
illusory, which mean it can
only be seen, not felt.

34. * This element refers to the feel or
appearance of a surface. 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.
