ELEMENTS OF ART
By gaining a deeper understanding of the elements of art, it will be easier
to analyze, unravel, and create any type of artwork from painting and
photography to sculpture and architecture. The elements of art are concrete
visual components that work in tandem with principles of art that organize and
harmonize them.
1. Line is the foundation of all drawings. It is the first and most
versatile of the visual elements. It refers to a mark that may
continuously go across a piece of artwork, or a mark that encloses
an area of space and forms a shape.
2. Shape is an enclosed space, a bounded two-dimensional form
that has both length and width. It is created when lines are joined or
overlapped to enclose an area. It can also work with the
pinterest.com
element space to create positive and negative spaces.

3. Value is made by the shadows and highlights within a piece of


artwork created by the light source. It makes a range of brightness
pinterest.com
and darkness that enables art to appear to be three dimensional or
gives depth.

4. Form includes depth and is three-dimensional that can be held or


viewed from different positions. It can be implied by the placement of
shadows and highlights in artwork that give it the appearance of
pixels.com
being three dimensional when it is not.
5. Texture is about how smooth or rough a surface of an object is. It
can be really creating a unique feeling or draw attention to the work.
This is created when a two-dimensional piece of artwork is created
pinterest.com
with various lines, values, and colors to imply that it has a different
texture from the actual texture of the canvas or paper.
6. Color refers to various pigments that can be represented through
different mediums. It is used to create emphasis or contrast and can
also be symbolic and present a deeper meaning or feeling. A deep
understanding of color theory helps an artist make better use of the
colors they have at their disposal.
7. Space can be the positive space and be the objects themselves,
the area around the objects and be referred to as negative space,
closed off or open and be narrow or deep, two dimensional or three
dimensional.

Computer/Digital Arts
In the early 1960s, digital or computer art first came on the scene.
Understandably, this was due to the technology that was constantly developing,
and that became available at that time. Thus, the early experimenters were not
necessarily artists, but engineers and scientists who had access to and experience
with the hardware needed. It was they who began to recognize the potential of
artistic expression through the application of scientific and mathematical
principles.
In fact, even in the sample works presented here, you will note a strong
scientific or mathematical look and feel to the creations of many digital artists.
Geometric forms and repeating patterns appear frequently. More traditional
subjects like human beings, landscapes, animals, and still-life elements are
simply incorporated as part of those forms and patterns—rather than as the
focus.
Computer art exhibits became critically acclaimed and highly popular, as
digital artists or computer art masters or “superstars” came to the fore in Europe,
Russia, and the United States.

Here are some of their works:

Frieder Nake Georg Nees


Polygon Drawings, 1965 Schrotter (“Gravel”), c. 1965

Vera Molnar Ronald Davis Ronald Davis


Mountain and Staurolyte, 1997

Computer-Generated 3D Art
Plotter Drawing
PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 8
Manfred Mohr, 1999 Olga Kisseleva, 2012 Jean-Pierre Hebert, 2007

Some digital artists have even used their works to express their views on
political, social, and cultural issues; as well as to advocate causes that are critical
to modern life, such as the environment and climate change. Others even explored
the philosophical relationship between science and technology and the arts.

The Philippine Scene

Likewise, Filipino artists in our country were influenced by the technology


trend in art. However, this was more in the commercial sphere. From the 1960s to
the 1990s, their computer-generated works were primarily geared towards
illustrating international comic books. Filipino illustrators earned quite a
reputation for their talents and were highly in demand in this field. They
eventually became equally sought after as animators for some of the major film
production companies in the United States, as well as for animated television
series produced in different countries.
However, the younger generation of local artists gained ground on the
concept of computer-generated works as a means of serious artistic expression.
Today, even the more established names in the field—artists and critics alike—
have come to accept and recognize digital works as fine art.

was inspired by the works of Ang Kiukok and Jose Joya. In
2010, he discovered the art of digital painting. He created his
pieces using Adobe Photoshop, a popular photo-editing
software. He believes digital art is the new creative frontier
offering limitless possibilities and accessibility. He encourages
artists and art lovers to embrace new technologies in making
art.

Technology-Based Art
Art and technology have become more intertwined than ever before. It
provides us with new ways to mix different types of media, allowing more human
interaction or simply making the process of creating something easier. Technology
-based arts or simply digital art, once created, can be easily mass-produced
because it is a work made and presented on digital technology. This includes
images done completely on a computer, hand-drawn images scanned into a
computer and finished using software or applications. It can also involve
animation and 3D virtual sculpture renderings, as well as projects that combine
several technologies. Some digital art also involves the manipulation of video
images.
The 21st-century artworks are mostly created with different digital art
forms such as mobile phone art, computer-generated image, digital photography,
video game, and digital painting with the aid of different software and applications
of using a variety of gadgets.
Mobile Phone Arts
 changed the way we do things today and can do a
wide range of things
 a means of personal expression and artistic
creativity
 used for school projects, or reports that require
combining images, incorporating text, or even
including simple animations

-dimensional (2D)
 commonly refers to 3D computer graphics to create
scenes or special effects in films and televisions
 used in foreign movies like Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean, Incredible Hulk
and etc.
Digital Photography
 capture, create, edit and share digital images/
photographs
 primary function is to record history, the whole
series of past events connected with someone or
something
 equate history with writing
 provide electronic or computer-based
photography services
 mainly used to create, publish, or use digital photographs on computers
and/or the Internet
 outcome or output is stored in a bitmap (BMP) format

Some electronic and computing technologies that are part of digital photography
Electronic/digital cameras: capture images/photographs and store them in
built-in/integrated storage media cards
Computing devices: include webcam integrated with a computer/laptop or a
scanner that enables the capturing of existing physical (paper/card) images
Digital photography software: purpose-built software enables the modification
of texture, color, brightness, and many other image attributes
For today’s younger generation that grew up in a digital world, even
entertainment now comes courtesy of computer devices. A major component of
such entertainment is in the form of video games of every conceivable genre,
subject matter, and skill level.
Video Games
 various interactive games played by electronically
manipulating images on a screen
 uses specialized electronic gaming devices,
computers, or mobile devices for entertainment.
 modern video games have evolved into sophisticated
experiences

producing learning, and promoting brain plasticity
 involve predominately active forms of learning; typically more effective than
passive learning

Digital Painting
 a method of creating artwork using a computer
 still makes use of traditional painting mediums such as
acrylic paint, oils, ink, and watercolor, and applies the
pigment to traditional surfaces, such as canvas, paper,
polyester, etc.
 employs computer software that drives a type of robot
device (such as a plotter) or an office machine (such as a
printer) that takes the place of the artist’s hand
 a technique using a graphics software program to create
an artwork that is totally virtual
 finished work is stored in virtual format to be shared

 Today’s video technology is that of imaging videos in the fields of medicine
and science. Examples are Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerized
Tomography (CT scans), and the like which are used to create and record
visual images of a patient’s internal anatomy to diagnose and treat diseases
and injuries. Ultrasound tests or sonograms translate sound waves bouncing
off physical objects into images that can be studied—whether a baby
developing in the womb (in 2D, 3D, and 4D options), growths or
malformations inside the body, structural flaws in buildings, as well as

artistic expression through the application of scientific and mathematical
principles.
Computer technology has now invaded every aspect of modern life. It was,
therefore, inevitable that it would develop into forms and devices that could be
mass-produced, mass-distributed, and therefore widely accessible to everyone. In
other words, anyone with a computer device— from a desktop PC to a laptop, to a
tablet or android phone—can now capture and edit images and videos; create,
manipulate, and share works of art; and even compose music. You can be—and
probably already are—a digital artist in your own right.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 22


 Computer/digital arts make use of electronic and mechanical devices, rather
than the artist’s own hand, to produce the desired images and effects. Thus,
these are definitely technology-based art forms. In recent decades, personal
gadgets such as laptops, tablets, and Android phones have incorporated the
artistic capabilities of large-scale computers. So, it is now possible for anyone
to be a digital artist.
 Mobile Phone Art allows you to generate original works of art for an entire
range of purposes. These could be personal photographs and videos that you
can manipulate with myriad special effects, both visual as well as sound and
music. They could also be school projects or reports that require you to
combine images, incorporate text, even include simple animation.

MEDIA-BASED ART

These phenomenal capabilities and possibilities


of the electronic or digital media available in today’s
technology-driven world have empowered incredibly
imaginative artistic expressions to advance traditional
painting, sculpture, and architecture. As quickly as
technology can develop new devices, gadgets, and
techniques, modern artists and designers adapt them
to enhance their creative expression. The advanced
procedures and patterns in photography, film, print
media, digital media, and product and industrial
design will be explored.

Photography as an Art
From the Greek “photos” (meaning light) and
“graphos” (meaning writing)
The Photographer as Artist Focusing a camera on a
subject and clicking the shutter is photography as a
process. They discern the significant moment or a
unique expression, framing it in the camera
viewfinder with an eye for composition, and then
clicking the shutter, and that is photography as art.

Photography as Communication
Being a modern art form means that photography
is now viewed as being more than just beautiful. It
is also considered one of the most powerful means
of communication.

Digital Photography
Another method for creating a unique
picture is to capture it first as a digital file. In
the case of today’s electronic technology, that
would mean recording the image using a
digital camera or a device with a built-in
camera, like your mobile phone, android
device, or tablet.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 24


Point-and-Shoot Camera
 has been overtaken by the magic of digital
photography
 automatically makes all the adjustments in
lighting, focus, zoom-in, and zoom-out, and
removal of “red eye”
 the user is given some leeway for slight
adjustments
 offers image enhancement features like adjusting color and brightness
imbalances, as well as sharpening or blurring the image
 offers unique effects like “fisheye” or filters that allow pre-setting of the photo
to be taken with a colored tint or a special texture
 allows the user to immediately review the photos taken without waiting for a
complex developing process
 can delete any unsatisfactory images while storing the good ones for future
needs

Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) Camera


 provides the filmless and instant review features of
a “point-and-shoot” type of digital camera
 gives the photographer much more artistic freedom
and control to select the camera settings to create
the desired final image with the preferred visual
effects

Basic Tips for Taking Good Photographs


Whether you are using a point-and-shoot camera or a DSLR, there are basic
guidelines for capturing a good quality photographic image:
 Choose a good location. An interesting location can sometimes make the
difference between a good and a great photo.
 Check that the available background is relatively simple and not too cluttered
so that the focus will be on your chosen subject.
 Natural light in the outdoors or near a window is usually the most flattering or
effective for any kind of subject. Ideally, the best light for photos is within the
first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset
 Avoid taking shots facing the light, as this would make your subject back-lit
and most of the details would be lost in shadow.

Media-Based Art in the 21st Century
Media art is constantly expanding, and new technologies are being used at a
rapid pace.
Open-source software is popularized. It allows people to freely use and modify
existing software.
Video games and web interfaces such as Flicker, Myspace, YouTube, Facebook,
and Second Life become new materials for artworks.
Museums and other institutions begin to develop policies and procedures for
documentation and conservation strategies specific to media artworks.

Computer Generated Images


If you want to create original images from
scratch, you may make your own illustrations
using specialized programs for image
generation and manipulation.
Examples of Programs:
Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw

There are scaled-down versions of such programs specifically developed


for use on smaller, handheld units like your personal tablet or Android phone.
These enable you to perform virtually all of the tasks that a program like
Illustrator performs but, almost literally, in the palm of your hand. Many of these
come at a fraction of the cost of the more complex programs or, in some cases,
even for free.
Among such programs are:

Gimp Paint.net Inkscape Xara Extreme Artweaver Draw Plus

Pencil Picasa Paint Star Smooth Adobe Photoshop


Express

Corel Paintshop Pro X5

prevent excessive weight gain. However, physical activity is also important to
all other aspects of your health. Benefits include sleeping better at night,
decreasing your chances of becoming depressed, and helping you look good.
When you are not physically active, you are more likely to have health
problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.

The Good Dose of Exercise


You should increase the dose or amount of physical activity or exercise
to see changes in your fitness level. This is the overload principle, which is
guided by the FITT Principle that is composed of the following:
a. Frequency refers to how often you involve yourself in regular
physical activity or exercise.
b. Intensity refers to how hard you should exercise or the level of difficulty
of your physical activity.
c. Time refers to how long you should engage in a specific physical activity.
d. Type refers to the kind of exercise or physical activity you should engage
in.

effectively promotes metabolic fitness and overall health. It must be done
intensely enough to elevate the heart rate to target zone levels to achieve
cardiovascular fitness. Take a look at its health and fitness benefits:

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON PE G10 18

To attain fitness you also should consider your eating habit. If your
BMI (Body Mass Index) classification is overweight or obese, take a look at
some weight loss strategies that would help you manage your weight
properly.
 Make a commitment to change. You must accept that you have a problem
and decide that you really want to change.
 Incorporate exercise into the program. Choosing enjoyable activities,
places, time, equipment, and friends to work out will help you get
motivated.
 Avoid automatic eating. Many people associate certain daily activities with
eating, for example cooking, watching television, or reading. Most foods
consumed in these situations lack nutritional value or are high in sugar
and fat.

19 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON PE G10


 Stay busy. People tend to eat more when they sit around and do nothing.
 Try “junior size” instead of “super size”. People who are served larger
portions eat more, whether they are hungry or not. Use smaller plates,
bowls, cups, and glasses.
 Eat slowly and at the table only. Eating at the table encourages people to
take time out to eat and deters snacking between meals. After eating, do
not sit around the table but rather clean up and put away the food to
avoid snacking.
 Cut unnecessary items from your diet. Substituting water for a daily can
of soda would cut calories from your diet.
 Do not serve more food than you should eat. Measure food in portions
and keep serving dishes away from the table.
 Think positive. Avoid negative thoughts about how difficult changing past
behaviors might be. Instead, think of the benefits you will reap, such as
feeling, looking, and functioning better, plus enjoying better health and
improving the quality of life.

The risk of being obese and overweight will bring a lot of health
problems to many individuals. Read the health consequences accompanied
by being obese. Manage your weight properly while you are still young and
influence the people around you by setting good examples of how you can be
fit and healthy.
Health Consequences of Excessive Body Weight Being overweight or
obese increases the risk for:
 high blood pressure
 type 2 diabetes
 congestive heart failure
 obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory problems
 poor female reproductive health (menstrual irregularities)
 psychological disorders (depression, eating disorders, distorted body
image, discrimination, and low self-esteem)
 shortened life expectancy
 decreased quality of life
 gallbladder diseases
 stroke
 gout

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON PE G10 20


Eating disorders
Eating disorders are illnesses that involve dangerous disturbances in
eating behaviors thought to stem from some environmental pressures. These
disorders are characterized by an intense fear of becoming fat, which does
not disappear even when the person is losing weight in extreme amounts.
Take a look at the following eating disorders:
 Anorexia nervosa – an eating disorder characterized by self-imposed
starvation to lose and maintain very low body weight due to a false/
distorted perception of being fat
 Bulimia nervosa – an eating disorder characterized by a pattern of binge
eating and purging in an attempt to lose weight and/or maintain low body
weight
 Binge-eating disorder – an eating disorder characterized by uncontrollable
episodes of eating excessive amounts of food within a relatively short time
 Emotional eating – the consumption of large quantities of food to
suppress negative emotions

The combination of diet and exercise leads to greater weight loss.


Exercise increases the rate of weight loss and is vital in maintaining the ideal
weight. Not only will exercise maintain lean tissue, but those who exercise
and remain physically active for 60 or more minutes per day can keep their
weight off.
