Good morning everyone, In this chapter we will be learning about The Elements of Art.

Elements in Visual Arts

The elements of visual arts are line, color, texture, perspective, space, form, volume, light, and
shadow.

Line
Line is an important element at the disposal of every artist. Through the lines, as in painting or
sculpture, the artist represents figures and forms.
- “Lines always have direction. They are always moving. Lines are used in any work of art, may either
be straight or curved.”
-
- Lines are fundamental to creating shapes, defining forms, and expressing emotions in art. They can
be used to convey movement, direction, rhythm, and depth. Lines can vary in thickness, length,
curvature, and texture, allowing artists to create a wide range of effects.

- “Hibayo man kamo unoy lines diba. So sa art magamit nat ini lines to create shapes, defining forms,
and pag express nan emotions in art. They can be used to convey movement, direction, rhythm, and
depth.”

So we have here the different types of lines:

Horizontal lines are lines of repose and serenity. They express ideas of calmness and quiescence.
- An horizontal is pahigda sija. An example of this is kanang mga landscapes, linaw na dagat, itun
makita nim sa lajo na way na bukid where the sky meets the sea kibali and that is called the horizon.

Vertical lines are lines that denote action. They suggest poise, balance, force, aspiration, exaltation, and
dynamism.
- So an vertical is kanang patindog na line diba. So examples of these are tall building, tall trees, and
mga haligi

Diagonal lines suggest action, life and movement. They give animation to any composition in which they
appear.
- An diagonal is pahiwi sija na line. Makita nat ini sa mga mountains and sa volcanoes diba diagonal.
An shape nija triangle so an lines na magamit sa tigkilid is diagonal. And also if kita diba mag jagan,
in order to move paglihok nat nan siki makita nat na nag diagonal sija.

Curved lines suggest grace, subtleness, direction, instability movement, flexibility, joyousness, and
grace.
- Examples of this are kanang liko2 na dayan haud sa binoni.
