Components of Creative Arts and Sports.

Creative arts is made of the following components:


 Visual arts -creative art forms appreciated through sense of sight such
as;

 Play - a written work that tells a story through action and speech and
is meant to be acted on a stage.

 Music - Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds. Making


music is the process of putting sounds and tones in an order, often
combining them to create a unified composition

 Dance – dance is the movement of the body in a rhythmic way,


usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing
an idea or emotion.

Principles of Visual arts.


There are two principles of visual arts namely:

Principle of dominance in Visual Arts.
Dominance is when a single element is so large and/or different
compared to the rest of the design that it dominates.
It grabs your attention.
Famous examples include the London Eye that dominates the skyline of
London or the Ashoka Lions that dominate the Indian Passport and other
official documents.

Principle of Proportion in Visual arts.


Proportion refers to the dimensions of a composition and relationships
between height, width and depth. How proportion is used will affect
how realistic or stylized. Proportion also describes how the sizes of
different parts of a piece of art or design relate to each other. Proportion

in any art is the relative size of objects in relation to each other or
corresponding to the other elements as a whole.

Basic Elements of a play.


The theme refers to the message (meaning) that is intended to be
expressed in the story. In other words, it is the main idea or the lesson to
be learned from the story.
Examples of themes in plays include: justice, loyalty. drugs, bullying,
human rights etc.
 Character- this is a person or individual taking part in the play or
drama that may have defined personal qualities and/or histories.

Plot- A plot is a sequence of events within a play that tells a story. A plot
is what makes a story. Five components make up a plot: exposition,
rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Conflict and theme
help drive the plot forward.

 Language- Language in drama is represented as spoken language or,


in other words, as speech. In drama, language refers to the particular
manner of verbal expression, the diction or style of writing, or the speech
or phrasing that suggests a class or profession or type of character.

 Setting- The setting is the time and place in which the story takes
place
Elements of Music in Creative Arts.
 Sound-any tone with characteristics such as controlled pitch and
timbre

 Rhythm- Rhythm is the pattern of sound, silence, and emphasis in a


song

Elements of Dance in Creative Arts.
 Body - In dance, the body is the mobile figure or shape, felt by the
dancer, seen by others. The body is sometimes relatively still and
sometimes changing as the dancer moves in place or travels through the
dance area. The body is the mobile instrument of the dancer and helps
inform us of what is moving.

 Action – This is what a dancer does, for example travelling, turning,


elevation, gesture, stillness, use of body parts, floor-work and the
transference of weight

Space – Space refers to the area through which the dancer's body moves.

 Time - It is an essential part of choreographing and performing


dance. It helps us to stay together when we dance in unison, identify the
beat and the rhythm of how we move and provide stimulus for
choreography.
