Arts can be seen in all aspect of life. It is everywhere. It can be seen in our
surroundings. The popular feeling about art is that it exists only in concert
halls, museums, and art galleries in a world by itself, which are accessible only
to those who can afford to pay for its enjoyment or to the critics and scholars
who take time to study the art and objects of the art.

What is It

What is Renaissance Art?

The Renaissance period (1400-1600) derived its name from the French word that
means “rebirth”. The artworks during this period were inspired by the Greek artistic
tradition, although they became more worldly. They portrayed individuality and the value
of the human being was its motivating factor. The artists were interested in showing the
human character, the capabilities of the mind and body, social relationships, economic
condition, and the people’s place in political life.

The Renaissance period enabled human being to achieve their highest potentials
by applying perfection of beauty, and by practicing intellectual exchanges, exploration,
and experimentation. This is why the Renaissance period is referred to as “the age of
humanism”. Renaissance art and culture travelled around the globe through trade and
conquest.
 FORMS AND STYLE IN RENAISSANCE PAINTING

Forms and style are evident in every Renaissance painting. Forms encompasses the
elements of art and the principles of organization that guide the artist in art-making. The
elements of art include the qualities that we experience through our senses: line, shape,
forms, texture, color, space, movement. The principles of organization show how sensory
properties are organized to achieve a sense of unity and harmony, variety, rhythm,
proportion, balance and perspective. Style is the manner in which the artist expresses
himself or herself, which influenced by the characteristics of an art historical period. For
example, in Impressionism, the brushstrokes are rough and thick and the lines of the subject
are very well defined. In this period, the artists wanted to record the interplay between light
and color. Artists are recognized by their viewers through their style.

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.

Elements of Renaissance Art

Raphael, School of Athens

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

Elements of Renaissance Art

Raphael, Madonna in the Meadow

3. 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.
Elements of Renaissance Art

Giotto, Lamentation

4. Texture is the surface quality of an artwork - the roughness or smoothness of the material
from which it is made.

Elements of Renaissance Art

Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa

5. 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.

Elements of Renaissance Art

Boticelli, Birth of Venus

 What is Baroque Art?

The term Baroque was derived from the Portuguese word barocco which means “irregularly
shaped pearl or stone”. It describes a fairly complex idiom and focuses on painting, sculptures
as well as architectures.

Baroque paintings illustrated key elements of Catholic Dogma, either directly in Biblical
artworks or indirectly in imaginary or symbolic work. The gestures are broader than Mannerist
gestures: less ambiguous, less arcane, and mysterious.

The meeting of Marie de Medicis and The Crowning of Thorns,

Henry IV, Peter Paul Rubens Michaelangelo Caravagio

Great Job! Now you have learned the different elements let’s check
how far you have done with it. Do the activities and assessments that
are prepared for you to work on. Let’s get it on.
 Lesson PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN IN
RENAISSANCE AND
2 BAROQUE PERIOD
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.

Raphael, Marriage of the Virgin Mary

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.

Raphael, Madonna and Child

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.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Hand

Proportion
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 that
other elements are subordinate to it. In the examples
below, 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.
Sanzio, St. Michael and the
Dragon
 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.

The Last Judgement, The Sistine Chapel

Wall, by Michaelangelo

6. Movement is the path our eyes 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.

Boticelli, Madonna and the

Magnifocat

7. Rhythm - A continuance, a flow, or a

feeling of movement achieved by the
repetition of regulated visual information.

What I Can Do

USING THE ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLE OF ART

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In these lessons, you will create artworks integrating themes found through direct
observation, personal experiences and imagination. You will also select appropriate art
materials and tools to interpret subjects or themes traditionally and experimentally.
You will create a nonobjective composition. Your drawing will be based on your
imagination as well as direct observation of the art elements. You will use a variety of art
materials and tools.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED

 PENCIL AND RULER

 SHORT BOND PAPER
 COLORED MARKERS, COLORED PENCIL AND CRAYONS

WHAT YOU WILL DO

1. Using one continuous pencil line, make a design that fills the sheet of drawing paper.
Use your imagination. Your line should be straight in some places and curved in others.
Allow your pencil to drift off the edge. Create a design that has both large and small
shapes.
2. Use a ruler to divide your paper into eight rectangles. Number the boxed areas lightly
in pencil. You may order the numbers any way you like.
3. Using the primary hues of crayons, color all the shapes in area 1. Using light and dark
values of colored pencils, color in all the shapes in Area 2. Using the bright and dull
intensities of colored pencils, color in all the shapes in Area 3.
4. Using the pencil, go over the lines in Area 4. Press down on the pencil to add variety
to your line quality. Make some of the lines darker and thicker. Using pencil, crayons,
colored pencils, or markers, create three different textures to fill all the shapes in area
5.
5. Using markers, draw outlines around all the shapes in Area 6. Fill in some of the
shapes with the markers. Leave others white. To show space, use a pencil to draw a
new shape that overlaps the existing shape in Area 7. Add to this feeling of space by
using colored pencil to color this new shape in an intense or bright hue.
6. Using a pencil, shade the shapes in Area 8 to suggest three-dimensional forms.
Gradually increase the pressure on the pencil to create the illusion or depth.
7. See the sample picture below on how to use the different elements and principles of
artworks.
