The Visual Elements of Arts

1. Line is the foundation of all drawing. It is the first and most versatile of the visual elements of art. Line in
an artwork can be used in many different ways. It can be used to suggest shape, pattern, form, structure,
growth, depth, distance, rhythm, movement and a range of emotions.
2. Shape can be natural or man-made, regular or irregular, flat (2-dimensional) or solid (3-dimensional),
representational or abstract, geometric or organic, transparent or
3. Color is the visual element that has the strongest effect on our emotions. We use color to create the mood
or atmosphere of an artwork.
4. Texture is the surface quality of an artwork - the roughness or smoothness of the material from which it is
made.
5. Form is the physical volume of a shape and the space that it occupies. Form can be representational or
abstract. Form generally refers to sculpture, 3D design and architecture but may also relate to the illusion of
3D on a 2D surface.
6. Tone is the lightness or darkness of a color. The tonal values of an artwork can be adjusted to alter its
expressive character.
Principles of Art
The “principles of design” are mechanisms of arrangement and organization for the various elements of
design in artwork. Please note that different sources might list slightly different versions of the “Principles of
Design,” but the core fundamentals are essentially the same.
1.Harmony in art and design is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related elements. For
instance: adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar shapes etc.
2.Balance is a feeling of equality in weight, attention, or attraction of the various visual elements within the
pictorial field as a means of accomplishing organic unity.
3.Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in scale between
one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts. Differing proportions within a
composition can relate to different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help establish visual weight and
depth

4.Dominance/Emphasis- The principle of visual organization that suggests that certain elements should
assume more importance than others in the same composition. It contributes to organic unity by emphasizing
the fact that there is one main feature and that other elements are subordinate to it. In the below examples,
notice how the smaller elements seem to recede into the background while the larger elements come to the
front. Pay attention to both scale and value of the objects that recede and advance.
5.Variety is the complement to unity and harmony, and is needed to create visual interest. Without unity and
harmony, an image is chaotic and “unreadable;” without variety it is dull and uninteresting. Good design is
achieved through the balance of unity and variety; the elements need to be alike enough so we perceive
them as belonging together and different enough to be interesting.
6.Movement is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art, and it is generally very important to
keep a viewer’s eyes engaged in the work. Without movement, artwork becomes stagnant. A few good
strategies to evoke a sense of movement (among many others) are using diagonal lines, placing shapes so
that the extend beyond the boundaries of the picture plane, and using changing values.
7.Rhythm - A continuance, a flow, or a feeling of movement achieved by the repetition of regulated visual
information.

Characteristics of Renaissance Art

The Renaissance period emerged in Italy in the late 14th century and reached its zenith in the late 15th
century. This was a period when Europe underwent an astonishing renewal in the fields of fine art, such as
painting, architecture, sculpture and drawing.
Renaissance art, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature produced during the 14th, 15th, and
16th centuries in Europe under the combined influences of an increased awareness of nature, a revival of
classical learning, and a more individualistic view of man. Scholars no longer believe that the Renaissance
marked an abrupt break with medieval values, as is suggested by the French word renaissance, literally
“rebirth.” Rather, historical sources suggest that interest in nature, humanistic learning, and individualism
were already present in the late medieval period and became dominant in 15th- and 16th-century Italy
concurrently with social and economic changes such as the secularization of daily life, the rise of a rational
money-credit economy, and greatly increased social mobility.

Characteristics of Baroque Art
Baroque art came about during the period from 1600 to 1700. The movement’s initial works began in Italy
but went on to be seen in France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. During this time, artists were
encouraged by the Catholic Church to exhibit stronger religious characteristics in their paintings.
There is usually one source of light, known as tenebrism, in Baroque art. The contrasting light and dark,
such as in shadows, bring drama to the works. Both have an effect on the emotions and the intensity of the
piece.
Realism is an important aspect of Baroque art. Rubens embraced reality in his art. In “Saint George and
the Dragon,” Saint George is muscular with a suit of armor that appears as it did in everyday life. His horse
is depicted as feisty and strong.
Naturalism was also seen in Baroque art through the use of normal details unique to daily life. Caravaggio
employed this technique in his work by showing local places such as taverns and peasants. He places the
viewer in the painting through applying things as part of both the foreground and central space. Facial
expressions highlight the subjects’ moods or emotions. Artists would sometimes put themselves in the
painting as part of the shadows. For example, Diego Velazquez is seen in the left of his pa inting “Las
Meninas.”
