OBJECTIVES:

 Identify the different elements of art, principles of design, and

the different kinds of lines involved in the making of a picture;

 Compare and contrast the dynamic and static lines;

 Differentiate the contour line from the hatching and

crosshatching; and

 Design an illusion of depth or distance to simulate a three-

dimensional effect by using crosshatching and shading

techniques in drawing.
Art
- It is the dress that we wear, the pair of shoes we have on, and all functional
designs, etc..

- It is all around us; and it all starts with a line – first of the seven components
that make up the elements of art.

- The elements of art are the expressions through which artists communicate
their ideas and emotions.
Line
- It the distance between two points.
- It can be straight or curved, thick or thin, short or long, an
static or moving. The main kinds of lines: straight, curves, and
zigzag.
 Lines represents emotions and moods.

Straight vertical lines characterizes a dignified, formal, and stable persona.

Horizontally positioned line represents peace, calmness, quietness, and rest.

Diagonally positioned line models movement and activity.

Curved line imitates activity but in a more fluid and graceful manner, much like a
dancer.

Zigzag line depicts confusion, tension, and excitement.

Static line depicts an object at rest. Dynamic line represents motion.
Lines extract a certain mood from the one who is viewing the artwork.

Gives a picture a beginning or a point of origin for the artist’s story or message.

Used to give an object a more realistic effect when viewed.

Are not only used to draw objects. Lines add effect when used in certain ways.

Used to create dimension to an otherwise flat plane.

Utilized to recreate form on an object in a drawing. This is done through

contour lines.

It follow the shape of an object and soften its edges. Outline traces the silhouette of the object to
emphasize it.
Drawings with effects vs Without effects
 Three-Dimensional

Two methods:

Hatching is achieved with several parallel lines drawn horizontally and

closely together to create tonal effect or value.
- refers to the relative lightness or
darkness of a color

Crosshatching is when parallel lines intersect with vertical lines in a

crisscross manner.
Tonal effect or value can be properly done when observing the effect of a light
source on an object.
- The application has 6 levels – lightest, lighter, light, dark, darker, darkest.
 Line and other elements of art are not enough to make an artwork effective.

need principles of design to organize them into a more attractive and impressive artwork.

— bring order to the elements used in an artwork

— balance, contrast, emphasis, harmony, proportion, rhythm, and variety.

Balance refers to the distribution of weight in a composition. The principle of

balance most often refers to the visual heaviness of shapes and forms in an
artwork. it can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Leonardo da Vinci - The Last Supper, 1495 - 1498
Symmetrical balance in art is when each half of the artwork is identical
or very similar.

Subic Spanish Gate, City of Olongapo, Zambales province, Philippines, 1885

Asymmetrical balance in art is when each half is different but has equal
visual weight. The artwork is still balanced.

Sto. Tomas Church, Ilo-Ilo, Philippines

Rhythm in art and design refers to a relationship between elements that creates a
sense of harmony .

Rhythm can be seen in patterns, in relationships between colors and shapes, and in
repetitions of lines and forms.
