This document discusses the visual elements of art, including line, shape, texture, value, space, time and motion, and color. It defines each element and provides examples. Color is described in more depth, outlining its three properties - hue, value, and saturation. The document also discusses different color schemes artists can use, such as monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, triadic, and tetradic. It encourages the reader to provide their own examples of each color scheme in a table format.

PHILIPPINE ARTS
FROM THE REGION

2. ARTS AND IT'S
VISUAL ELEMENT

4. What
Is It?
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

5. 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

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.
TIME AND MOTION

11. 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.
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

15. Color Schemes
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

16. Color Schemes
Monochromatic –
involves using the same
hue but with different
gradients of value.

17. Color Schemes
Analogous – entails the
use of three or four
adjacent colors in the
color wheel.

18. Color Schemes
Complementary –
involves the use of a
color and its
complement -meaning
the color located
opposite of the first color.

19. Color Schemes
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..

20. Color Schemes
Triadic – uses
three colors that
are of equal
distance with
each other.

21. Color Schemes
Tetradic – also
known as double
complementary color
scheme, this uses two
pairs of
complementary colors.

24. Activity 1. Your Turn
You have identified color schemes. This time, give your own
examples of each color scheme or color relationship. Please review
to be sure your answers are correct. Use a table format above.
