Background Information for Learners
Elements of Visual Arts
Every visual art utilizes at least one of the six (6) elements: lines,
shapes, forms, colors, textures, and space. The different Elements of Art
can be used to express certain emotions and meaning. Depending on how it
looks, humans have different emotional and psychological responses and
perceptions to each.
A line is a stroke or mark that can be straight, curved, thick, or thin.
Depending on the look and how it is used, a line may be utilized to suggest
movement, emotions, depth, distance, and rhythm. For example, an artwork
with scribbled, jagged lines may convey emotions of anger and sadness,
whereas another artwork with refined and straight lines may convey
tranquility.
A shape is a space enclosed by lines. The use of shapes can dictate
the point of view of the viewer or audience called, perspective. Perspective
changes depending on a shape’s size and angles. For instance, a square can
indicate that an object is being viewed in front, then changing it to a trapezoid
can mean that the object is now below the normal eye level and that there is
a change in perspective. Additionally, shapes can also present different
emotions and actions, such as circles for continuous movement.
Form pertains to a three-dimensional shape or any shape that has
length, width, and depth. Forms help create the illusion of a three-dimensional
design in a two-dimensional plane, like in interior design or architectural
design. More importantly, form is an integral element in traditional 3D art,
such as carving and ceramics.
Color refers to the product when light hits an object then reflected to the
eyes. Value is how light (tint) and dark (shade) a color is. The color of an
artwork is most often the first element a viewer evaluates and interprets. The
use and value of color creates the mood of an artwork. Imagine a painting of
a city colored in dark blue – it gives off a depressing and lonely atmosphere.

But if the same painting is colored with a combination of yellow, green, and
sky blue, it would exude a joyful and pleasant vibe to the viewer.
Space is the area surrounding, between, and within an object; can either
be positive or negative. Positive space is the area occupied by any object,
usually the foreground or object itself, whereas negative space is the area
surrounding an object.
Space can change a lot of things in an artwork. It illustrates the distance
between objects, perspective, depth, as well as size. It helps evoke a different
message based on the relationship of the foreground and background.
Texture pertains to the visual perception of the surface of any object.
The texture of an artwork can be experienced either through seeing or feeling
it. Using the other elements of art, the artist can recreate the surface quality
of an object, which greatly contributes to realism or the imitation of life itself.
Optical illusions of the actual textures of objects are recreated in paintings
and drawings.
Elements of Music
There are six (6) Elements of Music, namely, rhythm, dynamics,
timbre, melody, harmony, and texture.
Rhythm is the flow or movement of music through time. Tempo and
beat are parts of rhythm. Tempo pertains to the speed of the music (fast or
slow), while beat refers to the steady and regular pulse in music. For
example, the beating of one’s heart and the ticking of a clock.
Rhythm greatly affects the emotional impact and direction of music. Musical
pieces that are slow generally give off a gentle, dramatic, or even melancholic
vibe, while fast ones are generally joyful, exciting, and fun.
Dynamics refers to the softness and loudness of music. It is used by
composers to express how they want their audience to feel or convey the
mood the piece through volume and intensity. For example, a horror movie
with a chase scene will have an intense or strong music playing in the
background but will change into a quiet or soft music when a character is
hiding.
Timbre, also known as “tone color”, is the unique quality of sound. It
helps in distinguishing the different sources of sound. For instance, a
person’s voice and musical instruments may have the same note but they are

distinct in the sound they make. Another example is distinguishing
instruments in the same category, such as a guitar and violin, which are both
string instruments.
Melody pertains to a series of notes together. This is the most
memorable part of music. It is the tune of a musical piece. For example, the
tune one plays when asked to hum “Happy Birthday”.
Harmony is the sound of two or more notes heard at the same time. It
is when sounds form a cohesive whole. To illustrate, think of an orchestra:
the violin is playing one note, the piano playing another, and the clarinet
playing a different one. Harmony is created when all those notes are heard
simultaneously.
This is also described as the accompanying sound to the melody.
Texture is the layers of musical sounds. It has three kinds: monophonic,
homophonic, and polyphonic. Monophonic pertains to a piece that has a
single melody and has no harmony. For example, vocal music that do not
have accompanying instruments (a cappella), or instrumental music that has
only one instrument playing. Homophonic is the most common among the
three because it refers to a piece that has melody and harmony. For instance,
a song that has vocals accompanied by a guitar or an instrumental music
using a violin and piano. Lastly, polyphonic refers to playing various melodies
at once. For example, a song that has three singers, with each singing
different lyric, all of which with of equal significance and emphasis.
Elements of Dance
There are 5 Elements of Dance, which can be remembered through
their abbreviation, BASTE, which stands for body, action, space, time, and
energy.
Body refers to the what is being used to perform. This includes all parts,
shapes and figures made by the body, and their relationship with the other
elements. When analyzing the body, one may identify what body parts were
used; Is it an individual part or the whole body? Or it may be a several parts
or a whole system (e.g. muscles, bones, and breathing). Another aspect to
analyze is its shape, whether it is symmetrical or asymmetrical, straight,
rounded, or twisted.

Action pertains to the movements that the dancer performs, which
includes the dance steps, facial expressions, and gestures. It can either be
part of the choreography or the dancer may improvise or add additional
movements to the routine. Action is divided into two: locomotor and non-
locomotor movements. Locomotor movements are actions wherein the body
travels from one location to another (e.g. walking, running, hopping), while
non-locomotor movements do not cause the body to move to another space
(e.g. twist, bend, stretch).
Space is the relationship of the dancer to another dancer and the area
where the dance occurs. The space can be analyzed through the place where
the dancer is, whether they are dancing on a spot (personal space) or through
the space (general space). It can also be described by the size of the space
being used (i.e. small, large, narrow, wide). Their proximity to other dancers
or objects is also considered (near or far), as well their positioning (e.g. in
front, behind, beside).
Time is the rhythm, metered or free, in dance. This includes the timing
of actions and patterns. Time is divided into three kinds: clock time, sensed
time, and event-sequence. Clock time is based on units of seconds, minutes,
and/or hours. Sensed time is moving based on others’ timing (e.g. waving
only after another dancer waves). And event-sequence is triggered by
internal or external signals (e.g. cheerleaders change cheers if the team is in
offense or defense in sports).
Lastly, energy is how dance movements happen. This helps convey the
emotion of the routine. For example, a dance meant to be gentle is slow,
whereas an exciting dance is usually fast and has swift movements.
Additionally, a routine can be described through the energy qualities, such as
wild, light, timid, smooth, tight, loose, etc.
