Philippine Arts From
The Regions
For the Learners

The arts are described as means of expression that require

imagination and/or skill in making aesthetic objects or encounters that can
be shared with other people. These objects are experiences that may
exhibit what is in the imagination of the artist or creator. These may also
portray ideas and emotions. These may also be used to entertain or
persuade other people. These aesthetic objects and encounters create
beauty. The arts include visual arts, architecture, literature, music, dance,
theater, and cinema or film.

Module Content

The term “visual arts” encompasses a wide range of forms created by

Filipinos. It ranges from Western-influenced visual art forms to works created by folk
and indigenous people. Traditionally, these visual art forms include painting,
sculpture, and architecture. However, there are other functional visual art forms in the
country that need to be appreciated as well. Some of these forms include advertising
art, basketry, metal craft, mat weaving, pottery, and textile weaving.

This part presents all visual art forms presented earlier in this introduction.
However, it should be emphasized that the aim for this part is not to make a clear
delineation of each visual art form. Bear in mind that tackling each art form can help
in understanding further the scope of the visual arts.

These are the competencies included in this module:

• Identifies various contemporary art forms and their practices from the various
regions (CAR11/12IAC-0a-1)

• Classifies various art forms found in the Philippines (CAR11/12IAC-0b-2)

Fill in the boxes with your ideas about visual elements of art. There are no wrong or
right answers. Your own ideas matter.

ART AND
ITS
VISUAL

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.

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.
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.

Color

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:

• 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.

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 of the color.. schemes:

Color Schemes

• Monochromatic – involves using the same hue but with different gradients
of value.
• Analogous – entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color
wheel.
• Complementary – involves the use of a color and
its complement
-meaning the color located opposite of the first color.
• 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.
• Triadic – uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other.
• Tetradic – also known as double complementary color scheme, this uses
two pairs of complementary colors.
Texture

6
 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.

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.

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.

Time and Motion

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.

Reflective Question:

How can learning visual elements of art help you?

Remember these key points:

 These are visual elements of art:

o Line o Shape
and Mass o Color
o Value o Texture
o Space o Time
and Motion

 Color wheel is an important tool to identify which colors can work

well if used in a certain artwork.
Activity 4. My Own Color Wheel

Create and draw a color wheel using the color schemes. In this activity, make sure
that you draw the color wheel with color schemes applied well. It is important that you
are able to apply what you have learned.

Self-Check!

Great job! You have completed Lesson 1 successfully! Before going to the next
lesson, check the icon that best shows your learning experience.

10
 If you checked the first icon, you are ready for lesson 2. If you have checked
the second icon, you need to review the things that you need to relearn. If you have
checked the third icon, it would be best if you read more and ask help from your
teacher, parents or peers in clarifying the lessons that you find it difficult. Be honest
so that you will truly improve.
