Lesson
1 Principles of Design
What’s In
Art 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’s New

What is It
The word design indicates both the process of organizing visual elements and
the product of that process. It is a result of our basic need for meaningful order.
Some designs are so well integrated that they have qualities beyond a mere sum of
their parts. Such are said to be beautiful, interesting, absorbing, or surprising.
Art and beauty can be expressed in many ways- in natural beauty of huge old
trees or in the created beauty of a painting of those trees like in the work of Van Gogh
“Large Plane Trees”.
The visual themes were established with the use of lines, shapes, and colors. The
many figures and the objects in the complex compositions of Lawrence formed a
unified design through the artist’s skillful use of abstraction, theme, and variation.
B. BALANCE
Balance is the condition in which acting influences are held in check by opposing
forces or what is in the left side should appear on the right side also in order to
achieve equilibrium.
The near or exact matching of left and right sides of a three-dimensional form or
a two-dimensional composition is called symmetrical balance. Two sides which are
not the same is asymmetrical balance.
To draw our attention to an area or areas, the artist uses emphasis. To create
emphasis, position, contrast, color intensity, and size can all be used. Neutral areas
of lesser interest are created by artist through subordination to keep us from being
distracted from the areas of emphasis.
D. CONTRAST
Luster-Painted Bowl Spain. Tin-glazed earthenware painted in cobalt blue and luster
E. REPETITION AND RHYTHM
The repetition of visual elements gives a composition of unity, continuity, flow,
and emphasis. Rhythm in the visual art, is created through the regular recurrence of
elements with related variations.
Procedure:
1. Look around and observe the people around you: your friends, your family and
your neighbor or the nature.
2. Describe them through a drawing or painting applying the principles of design
based on what you see in their faces or actions as they exercise the freedom of
expression in their daily lives.
3. Do this in an Oslo paper. You may use crayons, color pastel, water color, acrylic
paint or any available resources that you have.
ASSESSMENT 1
Create something beautiful and useful artwork to make your life more meaningful
by applying the different principles of design that you have learned in relation to the
talent that God has given you.
Write your reflection on a sheet of paper.
2 Elements of Arts
Medium and elements together are the materials the artist uses in creating a work
of art. The distinction between them is easy to see but hard to define. An element
can be known only in some medium, but as an element it is independent of medium.
When we study elements, we consider them with no attention to the means by
which we can come into contact with a work of art. The elements are its qualities or
properties.
The seven elements of art are:
1. Line
2. Shape
3. Space
4. Value
5. Color
6. Texture
7. Perspective
We now look with greater care at the elements of the visual arts as a kind of
“basic language” with which the artist’s work.
1. LINE
Line is our basic means for recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and
feelings; it is a primary means of visual communication. Lines always have direction.
They are always active.
a. Actual Line
b. Implied line and implied curved line
c. Actual straight lone and implied curved line
d. Line created by an edge
e. Vertical line (attitude of alert attention);
horizontal line (attitude of rest)
f. Diagonal lines (slow action, fast action)
g. Sharp jagged lines
h. Dance of curving lines
i. Hard line; soft line
j. Ragged, irregular line
2. SHAPE
Shape refers to the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional area or
within the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional object. It may be geometric which
tends to be precise or regular (circles, triangles, squares) or organic which are
irregular, often curving or rounded and seem relaxed and more informal. Most
common shapes in human-made world are geometric while most shapes in nature
are organic.
3. SPACE
Value refers to the lightness and darkness of surfaces. It ranges from white to
various grays to black. It can be a property of color or an element independent color.
Chiaroscuro is the use of gradations of light and shade, in which the forms are
revealed by the subtle shifting from light to dark areas. This technique was developed
during the Renaissance Period to create illusion that figures and objects depicted on
a flat surface appear as they do in the natural light conditions.
5. COLOR
Properties of a Color
• Hue is particular wavelength of spectral color to which we give name.
• In 1666, British scientist Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when the light of the
sun passes through a glass prism. It is separated into the bands of colors that
make up the visible spectrum. The sequence of the spectral colors is: red,
orange, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
White Light Blue
Glass Prism Indigo
Violet
- Primary Hues are: Red, Yellow, and Blue
- Secondary Hues: Orange, Green, and Violet. This are produced by the mixture
of primary hues.
- Intermediate Hue are red-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, and red-violet. Each
are located between the primary and the secondary hues of which they are
composed.
Primary
intermediate intermediate
(tertiary) (tertiary)
RED
RED- RED-
VIOLET
ORANGE
Secondary Secondary

BLUE- YELLOW-
GREEN GREEN

intermediate intermediate
(tertiary) Secondary (tertiary)
Colors affects our feelings about size and distance as well as temperature.
Yellow-green and red-violet are the poles dividing the color wheel into cool and warm
hues. Cool colors found at the blue-green side of the wheel, while the warm colors at
the red-orange side, appear to expand and advance.
Objects that appear to be black absorbs all the colors; while objects that appear
white reflects all the colors of the spectrum. Black and white are not true colors and
their combination, gray is achromatic and they are often referred to as neutrals.
• Value refers to the relative lightness and darkness from white through grays
and black.
• Intensity also called saturation, refers to the purity of a hue or color. The
pure hue is the most intense form of a given color; the hue at its highest
saturation; and the hue in its brightest form.
6. TEXTURE
7. PERSPECTIVE
Perspective is point of view. In visual arts, it can refer to any means of
representing three dimensional objects in space on a two-dimensional surface. It is
a system designed to depict the way objects in space appear to the eye. In linear
perspective objects appear smaller at a distance, because parallel lines appear to
converge as they recede into the distance, and the last meeting of the lines on the
horizon is called vanishing point.
• TIME AND MOTION
- Time is nonspatial in which events occur in succession. Our experience of
time depends upon the movements we experienced and vice versa. A sense of
motion can be created by actual change in position.
• LIGHT
- The source, color, intensity, and direction of light greatly affect the way
things appear; as light changes, surfaces illuminated by it also appear to
change. To suggest the way light reveals form, artists use changes in value.
