A. Elements of design

• Line - is man's own invention. The simplest, most primitive and most universal means for
visual arts. Artist uses lines to imitate or to represent objects and figures on a flat surface.

• Shape - is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, CQIQULS or an
area enclosed by other shapes for example triangles circles and squares.

• Form - is three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width,
but it also has depth.

• Value - tonal relationship between light and dark. It is also referred as tone.

• Space - refers to distances or areas around, between, and within components of a piece.

• Texture - refers to the feel or tactile quality of the surface of an object. Surface is rough,
smooth, grooved or ridged, furry or silky.

• Color - produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. A series of wave
lengths which strikes our retina. Color is not a permanent property of things we see around us.

B. Principle of design

• Contrast - refers to the arrangement of opposite elements and effects. For example, light and
dark colors, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes.

• Variety - the use of a quality or an element which contrasts with or is slightly different from
those that surround it prevent sameness.

• Rhythm - created by the alternating ebb and flow. Continuance, or a flow, or a feeling of
movement achieved by the repetition of regular visual units.

• Proportion - the ratio of one part to another and of the parts to the whole. Ratio implies
comparison between parts. Example: Size, number and position.

• Emphasis - refers to the area of an artwork that dominates attention or draws interest. It is
often the place a viewer looks first. Artists create emphasis by contrasting the elements of art,
such as color or shape.
• Balance - suggest the gravitational equilibrium of a single unit in space or a pair of objects
arranged with respect to an axis or a fulcrum. Feeling of equality in weight, attention, or
attraction of the various elements.

• Unity or harmony - Adaptation of the visual elements to each other. It is achieved by the
repetition of the characteristics which are similar in nature, such as shape, size and color.

Elements of design

Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893

2.1 Line - Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893 uses wavy lines in contrast with a strong straight
diagonal line. The bright orange sky in the background, the terrified, inhuman, ghostly face.

2.2 Lines that show feeling and emotion to convey anxiety, features a dramatic display of
swirling lines, distorted forms and exaggerated colors.

2.3 According to Munch himself, The Scream was a picture he painted to represent his soul.
Rather than adhering to the art style of the time — that is, painting pictures meticulously to
realistically represent the subjects in them — he chose to use an unrealistic style to paint his
emotions, rather than focus on realism and perfectionism in his art.

Pablo Picasso, Three Musicians, 1921

2.1 Shape - Pablo Picasso, Three Musicians, 1921 shows different shapes. These shapes can be
simple or complex and generally the artist give an artwork a sense of order.

2.2 Geometric shapes are precise areas that can be made using a ruler or compass. Picasso uses
circles, triangles, crescents, and rectangles.

2.3 Geometric shapes are precise areas that can be made using a ruler or compass. Picasso uses
circles, triangles, crescents, and rectangles. These paintings each colorfully represent three
musicians wearing masks in the tradition of the popular Italian theater Commedia dell'arte.
Each painting features a Harlequin, a Pierrot, and a monk, who are generally believed to
represent Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Max Jacob, respectively.

Salvador Dali, Galatea of the Spheres, 1952

2.1 Form - Salvador Dali, Galatea of the Spheres, 1952 unlike shape, this art is three-
dimensional. It is like illusion art. They can be created by combining two or more shapes and
are often defined by the presence of shadow and how light plays against it in an artwork.

2.2 I think the artist show that you can a different artwork from shapes such as person, animal
etc. Dali uses geometric forms (spheres) to create his image.
2.3 It depicts Gala Dalí, Salvador Dalí's wife and muse, as pieced together through a series of
spheres arranged in a continuous array. The name Galatea refers to a sea nymph of Classical
mythology renowned for her virtue, and may also refer to the statue beloved by its creator,
Pygmalion.

Rufino Tamayo, Women of Tehuantepec, 1939

2.1 Value - they are all women at the market and this art, white is the lightest value while black
is the darkest. To create a tint of a color, the artist adds white. To create a shade, the artist adds
black.

2.2 The artist refers to the lightness and darkness of colors and is often described in varying
levels of contrast.

2.3 In Tehuantepec women are the economic 'breadwinners' and often earn more than their
male counterparts. They represent the economical and cultural aspects of life in the region, and
they do it very well. The women are in charge of how and what the money is spent on in the
home.

Claude Monet, Water Lily Pond, 1900

2.1 Texture - it's colorful and the pink color looks like a flamingo. Monet draw this because he
want the audience to have a piece of mind by the nature.

2.2In this closeup of Water Lily Pond, you can see Monet’s thick application of paint to create
actual/tactile texture. Impasto is the technique of applying paint very thickly to the surface.

2.3 In 1893, Monet, a passionate horticulturist, purchased land with a pond near his property in
Giverny, intending to build something "for the pleasure of the eye and also for motifs to paint."
The result was his water-lily garden.

Piero della Francesca, Ideal City, c. 1470

2.1 Space - from the title itself I think this is what the artist ideal city to have a spacious place
with a particular rational or moral objective. He uses lines to create the illusion of deep, three-
dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.

2.2 Piero della Francesca was expert in geometry that's why he want the audience to saw a
painting techniques such as linear perspective and foreshortening. he used one-point linear
perspective to show the depth of the space

2.3 The Ideal City celebrates the values in a well-ordered society, with architecture standing as
a metaphor for good government. The illusion of space is achieved using a mathematical
perspective system developed in Florence.

Paul Klee, Hammamet with Its Mosque, 1984

2.1 Color - Paul Klee, Hammamet with Its Mosque, 1984 the artist want the audience to feel
relax everytime they see this panting that's why he make it a light and warming colors. Each
color has three properties—hue, value, and intensity.

2.2 Shows contrast between high intensity and low intensity colors by using more or less water
with his paint. The artwork often includes abstract and representational elements, bottom
section is a combination of translucent color contrasting.

2.3 Hammamet is a small town in the northwest of Tunisia and Klee visited this place in April of
the year 1914. Hammamet with Mosque is a depiction of the small town and its surroundings.
The painting is a watercolour and Klee created this piece from beyond the walls of the town.

Principles of design

Käthe Kollwitz, Misery, 1897

2.1 Contrast - The painting has a strong emotion by adding a contrast, showing the despair of
the mother in dark values and lighter sweeter elements like the heart on the chair in the
background.
2.2 He use of a mother with a dead child. Käthe Kollwitz adds contrast using the elements of
art line, value, and shape, but she also adds contrast of emotions.

2.3 Critically, departing from Hauptmann's play, Kollwitz began her series with Misery, a scene
showing the death of a child from the deprivations of poverty, which situated her illustration of
the weavers' rebellion as a direct reaction to a life cut short by low wages and inhumane living
conditions.

Wassily Kandinsky, Der Sturm, Volume 10, Number 7, 1919

2.1 Variety - I think the Wassily Kandinaky visual interest and energy. Wassily Kandinaky want
the audience to saw that by using different sizes, shapes and colors in your artwork you can
create visual diversity.

2.2 The paiting look likes in the mountain with some flowers. Wassily Kandinaky uses a variety
of lines, shapes, values, and colors.

2.3 By referring to religion, Kandinsky proclaimed his abstract art as a substantially spiritualised
art. Increasingly free use of colour as well as a gradual dissolution of representational subject
matter – a shift towards a new, abstract art.

Piet Mondrian, Broadway Boogie-Woogie, 1942-43

2.1 Rhythm - An abstract painting, the artwork looks like moving, determined by the long lines
of the grid, while other accents indicate the insertion of little bands of unbounded color.

2.2 Painting is inspired by clear real-world examples: the city grid of Manhattan. Mondrian
repeats shape, color, and line to bounce the viewer’s eye around the artwork

2.3 The title of the painting, Broadway Boogie-Woogie, is a nice collision of two delighted
references to things that made Mondrian so enthusiastic about his new life in New York City:
Broadway, a very busy, broad thoroughfare full of interesting stores, but also full of theaters
representing the novelty and the liveliness.

María Izquierdo, The Indifferent Child, 1947

2.1 Proportion - indicate depth of perspective and the artwork has a strong emotion of sadness
because of the contrast.
2.2 Maria applied watercolours in small brushstrokes, a method particularly suitable for
representing the dark spaces and implements of the indigenous world.

2.3 I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” I paint self-portraits because I
am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” I tried to drown my sorrows, but the
bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.”

Francisco Goya, The Third of May 1808, 1814

2.1 Emphasis- Goya highlights the man in white through putting him in a spotlight, having the
man wear bright clothes. And also, it looks like soldier killing the innocent people.

2.2 The painting's content, presentation, and emotional force secure its status as a
groundbreaking, archetypal image of the horrors of war.

2.3 Third of May 1808 commemorates the events surrounding the Madrid uprising against the
French occupying forces of the previous day. The picture is in fact the right-hand half of a
diptych: the left-hand half consists of The Second of May, 1808 (The Charge of the Mamelukes).

James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, 1871
2.1 Balance (Asymmetrical) - The artist want to show reality and morality paintings exclusively
told stories or conveyed a moral lesson.

2.2 Its a realism artwork, when you saw it the first thing will come up your mind isa the color of
grey and black.

2.2 best known under its colloquial name Whistler's Mother, is a painting in oils on canvas
created by the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler in 1871. The subject of the
painting is Whistler's mother, Anna McNeill Whistler.

Fernando Botero, The Musicians, 1991

2.1 Unity - the artist want to show a cohesiveness of an artwork—how whole, consistent, and
complete it appears and Botero's most likely feels about music: abundant in joy and bursting
with passion.

2.2 Botero is most famed for his oversized, sometimes impossibly proportioned figures
portrayed in his art works. Ceates unity through subject matter, through rhythm, and through
repetition of form, shape, and color. Has a pleasing combination of elements to create a
harmonious composition.

2.3 The large figures that he depicts in his work, including those in the painting Thhe Musicians,
are deemed to be a mere glorification of sensuality and life, Botero's personal and unique
perspective. Many of his paintings evoke ingenuity, humor, irony, and at times, much
controversy. His style of artistry has become known to many as Boterismo.
