These elements of art are generally produced when something is done to the medium after the technique is carried out. Elements are the necessary preconditions for the creation of art.

Visual Art

A________refers to a point moving at an identifiable path-it has length and direction. It also has width. It is onedimensional, however, it has the capacity to either define the perimeters of the artwork (edges) and/or become a substantial component of the composition.

Line

This normally associated with rest or calm.

Horizontal Line

on the other hand, connote elevation

Vertical lines

convey movement and instability, although the progression can be seen.

Diagonal lines

on the other hand, are reminiscent of violence, conflict, or struggle.

Crooked or jagged lines

These are lines that bend or coil. They allude to softness, grace, flexibility, or even sensuality.

Curved lines

the position and orientation of the bodies that are aboard the raft are predominantly diagonal in direction. This creates not only movement but also tension in the scene.

The raft of medusa

These two are related to each other in the sense that they define the space occupied by the object of art.

Shape and Form

refers to two dimensions: height and width

Shape

refers to three dimensions: height, width, and depth.

Form

These shapes find origin in mathematical propositions. As such, its translation and use are often man-made. These include shapes such as squares, triangles, cubes, Circles, spheres, and cones, among others.

Geometric

_______ shapes are those readily occurring in nature, often irregular and asymmetrical.

Organic

It is usually inferred from a sense of depth, whether it is real or simulated. Real _______ is threedimensional. However, this can be manifested in two-dimensional artworks through the use of different techniques, or the use (or non-use) of area around a drawing or picture

Space

Usually identified with the white space is the ________ space. The ________ space, on the other hand, is the space where shadow is heavily used.

Positive and Negative

the white space is the________ space.

Negative

The _________ space, on the other hand, is the space where shadow is heavily used.

perhaps one of the elements that enhances the appeal of an artwork. This element is a property of light, as it is reflected off the object.

Color

Elements of art Auditory

_________refers to the linear presentation (horizontal) of pitch. By horizontal, it means that in musical notation, it is read in succession from left to right. Pitch is the highness or lowness of musical sound.

Melody

Two types of Melody

Conjunct, Disjunct

A melody that is the basis for an extended musical work

Theme

It arises when pitches are combined to form chords. When several combinatio notes are simultaneously played, this refers to a chord.________& can be described in terms of its 'harshness"; dissonance is the harshsounding combination while consonance is the smooth-sounding combination.

Harmony

________ is often described in terms of its relative HARSHNESS

Harmony

A harsh-sounding harmonic combination

Dissonance

A smooth-sounding harmonic combination

Consonance

_________chords produce musical tension which is often released by resolving to consonant chords. Since we all have different opinions about consonance and dissonance, these terms are somewhat subjective

Dissonant

Dissonant chords produce musical tension which is often released by resolving to ______chords. Since we all have different opinions about consonance and dissonance, these terms are somewhat subjective

Consonant

Harmony created out of the ancient medieval/Renaissance modes

Modality

Harmony that focuses on a "Home" Key center

Tonality

Modern harmony that AVOIDS any sense of a 'home" Key center

Atonality

________is often likened to the color of music. It is a quality that distinguishes a voice or an instrument from another.

Timbre

The number of melodies, the type of layers, and their relatedness in a composition is the ___ of music.

Texture

Types of texture

Monophonic, Polyphonic, Homophonic

single melodic line

Monophonic

two or more melodic lines

Polyphonic

main melody accompanied by chords

Homophonic

Music with only one note sounding at a time (having no harmony or accompaniment).

Monophonic

Music with two or more notes sounding at a the same time, but generally featuring a prominent melody in the upper part, supported by a less intricate harmonic accompaniment underneath (often based on homogenous chords-BLOCKS of sound).

Homophonic

Music with two or more independent melodies sounding at the same time. The most intricate types of polyphonic texture- canon and fugue-may introduce three, four, five or more independent melodies simultaneously! This manner of writing is called COUNTERPOINT.

Polyphonic

This principle refers to the distribution of the visual elements in view of their placement in relation to each other.

Balance

There are three forms of balance

Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial

the elements used on one side are reflected to the other. This offers the most stable visual sense to any artwork.

Symmetrical

the elements are not the same (or of the same weight) on each side, putting the heaviness on one side.

Asymmetrical

there is a central point in the composition, around which elements and objects are distributed.

Radial

pertains to the size in relation to what is normal for the figure or object in question, pictures of exaggerate scale are common all over the world as many artists taken by the whimsical quality of these objects.

Scale and Proportion

relates to the realistic size of the visual elements in the artwork, especially for figurative artworks

Natural

refers to the unusual size relations of visual elements, deliberately exaggerating the immensity or minuteness of an object

Exaggerated

most common to those that follow canons of perfection, the sizerelations of elements or objects, which achieve the most ideal size-relations.

Idealized

3 types of scale and proportion

Natural, Exaggerated, Idealized

allows the attention of the viewer to a focal point(s) accentuating or drawing attention to these elements or objects.

Emphasis

the disparity between the elements that figure into the composition. One object may be made stronger compared to other objects (hence, emphasis).

Contrast

Unless intended to be otherwise, compositions are intended to imbue a sense of accord or completeness from the artwork. This is?

Unity

on the other hand, is the principle that aims to retain the interest by allowing pitches or areas that both excite and allow the eye to rest.

Variety

Like what is hinted above, unity and variety is related to the principle of _________, in which the elements or objects achieve a sense of flow and interconnectedness.

Harmony

This refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the artwork, often guided by areas or elements that are emphasized. These focal points can be lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art, among others.

Movement

This is created when an elements repeated, creating implied movement. Variety of repetition helps invigorate rhythm as depicted in the artwork.

Rhythm

Lines, shapes, colors, and other elements may appear in an artwork in a recurring manner. This is called

Repetition

the image created out of repetition is called?

Pattern

These __________ forms are interesting specimens that can be studied to understand what art forms and styles have been combined, and furthermore skills, techniques or creative processes can be put together to produce interest innovative compositions.

Combined art

Another movement that is reminiscent of the motivations of the Renaissance, and whose emergence is hinged on the frontiers of science and technology, is called

Hybrid arts
