AND CONTENT THE LANGUAGE OF ART: ELEMENTS, COMPOSITION AND CONTENT  The visual arts have
PLASTIC ELEMENTS that are composed or organized according to principles of Unity, Balance, and
Rhythm, among others.  The COMPOSITION of the elements creates the CONTENT of the work— even
if this content is an abstract image and not a common subject. A. Elements of Visual Art  Line  Shape
 Color  Chiaroscuro  Texture  Space  Mass  Time and Motion  Perspective A. Elements of Visual
Art 1. LINE –  Curved or Straight  Slender or Thick  Dark or Bright.  Delicate  Tentative  Elegant 
Assertive  Forceful  Brutal Lines  A line is the mark left a by a moving point, curved or straight,
slender or thick, dark or bright. Lines  Lines imply action because they are created by action. In
sculpture, and other threedimensional media, lines are perceived edges as we move about rounded
forms. A. Elements of Visual Art ◦to outline shapes, ◦to evoke forms and movement, ◦to imply solid
mass, and for its own sake. ◦In groupings, lines can create shadows and even visual illusions. Types of
Line and their Meanings  Horizontal lines - They express ideas of calmness, repose, serenity and
quiescence. Horizontal lines Horizontal lines Horizontal lines Types of Line and their Meanings  Vertical
lines - They express ideas of action, force and dynamism. Vertical lines TYPES of Line and their Meanings

interior and exterior portions of an object SHAPE  Shape may be communicated by dominant lines that
enclose specific areas, by patches of color or texture. SHAPE  In architecture or sculpture, shape is
created when it is perceived against its environment. A. Elements of Visual Art 3. COLOR –  property of
light that serves as a tool for composition which relates to the artists perceptive experience: cold or
warm, advancing or retreating, light or heavy, attractive or repulsive, in tension or in suspension.  Color
plays a decisive role: it describes, generalizes, compares and helps in the experiencing any work of art

refers to the lightness/ darkness of a certain color.(light blue, dark blue)  Hue. A characteristic of color
that gives a specific name to a certain color. (red, yellow, blue are our primary colors)  Saturation.
Applies to purity of hues in comparison to their appearance in the spectrum. Color  Value - lightness/
darkness of a certain color.(light blue, dark blue) Color  Hue - specific name to a certain color Color 
Saturation - purity of hues A. Elements of Visual Art 4. Light and Shadow (Chiaroscuro) – is a means of
modeling a figure in depth, a means of articulating form. Bright light tends to be stimulating, while low
levels are quieting Warm-colored light is generally cheerful, cool-light is depressing or quieting. Strong
contrasts of brightness and darkness are emphatic and dramatic, and they attract attention. Chiaroscuro

– Refers to the surface quality, roughness or smoothness, of an object that appeals to the perceptive
senses. The sense of sight and touch are involved. SMOOTH and ROUGH Texture  Tactile texture –
Three -dimensional manifestation of structure, related to the sense of touch.  Smooth textures are
usually unobtrusive and undemanding.  Smooth textures seem to be cool, tranquil, precise and friendly
. Texture Visual texture - Two-dimensional manifestation related to the sense of sight. Rough textures
attract attention. They look warm and informal, irregular and harsh. A. Elements of Visual Art 6. Space –
is an art element concerned which is concerned with making all parts functional so that all parts of the
work of art will contribute to make the whole complete work of art. Space exist as tangible in

Motion A. Elements of Visual Art 9. Perspective – Achievement of special effects in painting, to suggest
depth, especially to embody the artist’s meaning in the form. PESPECTIVE  Linear Perspective – refers
to the relative diminution in apparent size of objects as they are located at greater distance from the
viewing point Linear Perspective Aerial Perspective Aerial Perspective – refers to the apparent change in
color and distinctness of objects viewed at a distance. B. COMPOSITION  The act of organizing the
plastic elements of art. . It takes place according to aesthetic principles such as:  Proportion and Scale,
 Unity  Balance  Rhythm and Harmony. B. COMPOSITION  Proportion and Scale is the comparative
relationship of the parts of a composition to each other as a whole.  Unity is oneness or wholeness. A
work of art achieves unity when its parts seem necessary to the composition.  Balance refers to the
visual or actual weights or masses distributed in such as a way they achieve physical or visual harmony.

progressions or repetition of sensory impressions of things or events in a work of art.  Harmony is the
adaptation of the visual elements to each other, the agreement between parts of a composition.
