ELEMENTS AND
PRINCIPLES IN
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
 DEFINITION OF
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
 broadly refers to any
collection of written or oral

LITERATURE
work, but it more commonly
and narrowly refers to
writings specifically
considered to be an art form,
especially prose fiction,
drama, and poetry, in
contrast to academic writing
and newspapers.
 an art form, and cultural
MUSIC activity, whose medium is
sound.
 is a performing art form
consisting of purposefully
selected sequences of
human movement.
DANCE This movement has
aesthetic and symbolic
value, and is acknowledged
as dance by performers and
observers within a particular
culture.
 is a collaborative form of
performing art that uses live

THEATRE
performers, typically actors
or actresses, to present the
experience of a real or
imagined event before a live
audience in a specific place,
often a stage
 The performers may

THEATRE
communicate this
experience to the audience
through combinations of
gesture, speech, song, music,
and dance.
 also called movie, motion

FILM
picture or moving picture, is
a visual art-form used to
simulate experiences that
communicate ideas, stories,
perceptions, feelings, beauty,
or atmosphere through the
use of moving images.
 These images are generally
accompanied by sound, and
more rarely, other sensory
stimulations.
FILM The word "cinema", short for
cinematography, is often
used to refer to filmmaking
and the film industry, and to
the art form that is the result
of it
 ELEMENTS OF
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
LITERATURE
LITERATURE
LITERATURE MEANING
A writer can use the following
in order to express his or her
feelings or idea: technical
terms, idiom, dialect, new
words, allusion, and
connotation.
LITERATURE FIGURATIVE
LANGUAGE
This mainly consist of simile,
metaphor, and other figures
of speech that can be used in
order to express something in
a different way aside from its
literal meaning.
LITERATURE IMAGERY
This consists of descriptions
and details that can trigger
the readers senses (sight,
hearing, smell, etc.).
LITERATURE SOUND AND
RHYTHM
These elements make use of
the spoken nature of poetry.
Sound refer to the emphasis
on certain words or rhymes.
Rhythm is the just a position
of beats or the sound pattern
of the work.
LITERATURE PLOT
Plot is the serial arrangement
of incidents, ideas or events.
In literature, the plot
encompasses all the incidents
and provides aesthetic
pleasure.
MUSIC
MUSIC
MUSIC PITCH
-register (high or low);
Organization of pitches with a
pattern of intervals between
them creates scales; Words
we might use to describe
scales: major/minor,
chromatic, gapped,
pentatonic.
MUSIC RHYTHM
the time element of music. A
specific rhythm is a specific
pattern in time; we usually
hear these in relation to a
steady pulse, and mentally
organize this pulse or tempo
into meter (sometimes called
a "time signature").
MUSIC MELODY/
MUSICAL LINE
is a combination of pitch and
rhythm (some say
"duration"). Sometimes a
melody is considered to be
the theme of a composition.
We might characterize
melody by its contour (rising
or falling) and the size of the
intervals in it.
MUSIC TIMBRE
is the sound quality or tone color;
timbre is the characteristic that
allows us to distinguish between
one instrument and another, and
the difference between vowel
sounds (for example, long "a" or
"ee").

Terms we might use to describe

timbre: bright, dark, brassy, reedy,
harsh, noisy, thin, buzzy, pure, raspy,
shrill, mellow, strained.
MUSIC DYNAMICS
is the loud or soft element of
music.

A composition that has extremely

soft passages as well as
extremely loud passages is said
to have a large or wide dynamic
range. Dynamics can change
suddenly or gradually (crescendo,
getting louder, or decrescendo,
getting softer.)
DANCE
DANCE
DANCE BODY
Dance is comprised of various
body motions that express
feeling and emotion. Our
bodies move in ways to
express ourselves using
locomotor and non-
locomotor movements.
DANCE ENERGY
Energy is the force at which
we express our body motions
DANCE SPACE/LEVEL
This is to show variation and
movement, we need to use our
surroundings well. We zig, zag,
move high and low. We use the
entire space around us and
below us.
DANCE RELATIONSHIP
In dance, we often dance with
one other person or with
many people in a group. Just
like with conversation, we
communicate and react using
our bodies.
DANCE TIME
Timing is key to any dance. We
follow the rhythm or beat to
match our actions with the
sound of the music. When
working with others, we
sometimes mimic another
using time
THEATER
THEATER
THEATER PERFORMERS
People onstage presenting
characters in dramatic
action.The audience is coming
to see a performer pretend to
be someone else.

When the actor/actress is on

stage, they must be believable
as the character they are
portraying.
THEATER AUDIENCE
The essence of theater is the
interaction between the
performer and audience.

Theater needs to be
experienced live. There is a
"call and response"
atmosphere that cannot be
witnessed in a movie theater
THEATER DIRECTOR
The director makes certain that
the performers understand the
text and deliver the script
excitingly and appropriately.

The director also makes sure

the blocking, costume designs,
set designs and other aspects of
the show blend together to
make a production that works
together.
 THEATER SPACE
THEATER
Another necessary element of
theater is the space in which
performers or audiences
come together.

It is essential to have a stage,

or some equivalent area,
where actors and actresses
can perform.
 TEXT
THEATER
A final element essential to
theater is the text that is
performed, and it must be
present for theater to occur.

Another name for the text is

script. One key element for
writing is conflict.
FILM
FILM
 CHARACTER
FILM
If there is one element of good
stories that is common
through all ages and narrative
forms, and if there is one
unbroken rule of successful
storytelling, it is this - creating
compelling characters whose
story the world would want to
listen.
 SCENE
FILM A scene is the building block of a
screenplay, its most basic unit that
has its own independent, whole
existence.

Technically speaking, everything

happening at one place at one
time in the film is a scene.

The moment you change the

location or jump time, you have
entered a new scene.
 CONFLICT
FILM It is the bread and butter of drama.

The more you can involve the

audience into the conflicted
situations of your characters, the
more problems you can create for
your protagonists and make them
overcome those one by one, the
more successful your storytelling
will be.
 RESOLUTION
FILM A climactic resolution to the already
thickening plot, a final confrontation of
the protagonist with the antagonistic
forces, a final Plot Point, that is
emotionally, dramatically, and visually
the high point of the film is very
important to complete your movie
experience.

And this closure, this resolution of the

primary conflict of the film, or the lack
of it (as is the case with tragedies),
often brings forth the 'point of the
movie'.
