Learning Competency: Analyze principles of art in the production of one’s arts and crafts inspired by the arts of
MIMAROPA and the Visayas. A7EL-IIb-1
Motivation:
1. Are these handicrafts familiar to you?

2. Have you ever given thought of the time and planning to create these handicrafts with their beautiful and vibrant
designs?
3. How do these designs create a visual representation of the beauty that art connotes?
Basic Concepts:
The principles of art are the underlying support of the elements. While the elements are the visual tools, the
principles of art reflect how the elements are used to create a work of art. The principles of art and design are
balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.
Balance refers to the visual weight of the artwork. It is a sense that

something is not giving discomfort to the eyes of the viewers. There are 3 kinds of
balance.
1. Symmetry is a type of balance in which both sides of a composition have the
same elements in the same position.
2. Asymmetry is a type of balance in which the composition is balanced due to the
contrast of any of the elements of art. It can be perceived in the different sizes of
circles with one which is smaller and the other one, bigger.
3. Radial symmetry is a type of balance in which elements are equally spaced like
that of the bicycle wheel and the spokes.
Contrast is the difference between elements of art in a composition, such

that each element is made stronger in relation to the other. When placed next to
each other, contrasting elements command the viewer's attention. The areas of
contrast are among the first thing that the viewer’s eyes are drawn. Contrast can be
achieved by placing objects together and creating contrasting effect. Negative/Positive space is an example of
contrast including the command of variety of colors.
Emphasis is when the artist creates an area of composition that is visually dominant and commands the
viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.
Movement is the result of using the elements of art where the

eyes are commanded to move around the image. A sense of
movement can be created by diagonal or curvy lines, either real or
implied, by edges, by the illusion of space, by repetition and by
energetic mark-making.
Rhythm is created by movement implied through the
repetition of elements of art in a non-uniform but organized way. It is
related to rhythm in music. Unlike pattern which
demands consistency, rhythm relies on variety.
Pattern is the uniformed repetition of any of the elements of art or

any combination. Anything can be turned into a pattern through repetition.
Unity/Variety is present when you want an

art to feel unified such that all the elements
fit together comfortably. Too much unity
creates monotony, too much variety creates disharmony. Both of these principles are
needed for the areas of interest in your composition along with places for your eyes to
rest.
Modelling:
Directions: Analyze elements and principles of art in the Iraya-Mangyan basket by completing the table through
answering the questions.

patterns around the jar have the same
dimensions in each portion of the jar.
How is contrast used Contrast is shown through the darker color
in the design of the used in the rising and falling pattern. The
basket? darker color contrasts the lighter color of
the basket’s base.
How is emphasis Emphasis is achieved through the contrast

What movements are Movement is shown in the design of basket

What rhythm is Rhythm is created through the varying yet

width than those in the lower portion of the

What pattern is The pattern created through the design of
