MODULE
Art is something that is perennially around us.
- Some people may deny having to do with arts but it is indisputable that life presents us with many
forms of and opportunities for communion with arts.

A politician shuffling her music track while comfortably seated on her car looking for her favorite song.
- Ones whose exposure to music is only limited to one genre finds it lacking not to have been exposed
to more.

A student marveling at the intricate designs of a medieval cathedral during his field trip.
- Ones whose idea of a cathedral is limited to the locally available ones, finds enormous joy in seeing
other prototypes in Europe.

The word “art” is from a Latin ars which means craftsmanship, inventiveness, mastery of form, skill. It
includes literature, music, paintings, photography, sculpture, etc. It serves as an original record of human
needs and achievements. It usually refers to the so-called “fine arts” (e.g., graphics, plastic, and building) and
to the so-called “minor arts” (everyday, useful, applied, and decorative arts).

It is the process of using our senses and emotions in making creative activities.

It is a human capability to make things beautiful (e.g., buildings, illustration, designing, painting, sculpture,
and Photography) through the production of his/her imagination depending on the preparation, theme,
medium, and values used.

Significantly, the word artist comes from the French word “artiste” and the Spanish “artista”, which
means “performer”. It is someone who creates art that is merely trades and professions by which different
people make their livings (Goines, 2004).

Artist is most often refers to those who create within a context of the fine arts such as acting, dancing, drawing,
filmmaking, painting, sculpture, writing, photography, and music. They are those who use imagination, and a
skill to construct works that may be judged to have aesthetic importance. Creativity is a characteristic of an
artist that progressed in the extent of his/her life to express feelings.

Why Study Humanities?


Etymologically, the term Humanities is from a Latin word “humanus” which means “educated”. It refers to the
learning of arts such as architecture, dance, literature, music, painting, theatre, and sculpture. They are
branches of knowledge that focuses on the human opinions, and relationships. As a branch of learning, the
artwork is considered as the material object while its creativity and appreciation is the formal object.

Likewise, Humanities is more concerned on how a person expresses his/her feelings. These feelings can
be in facial manifestations or body movements. Laughing, crying, clenching our fists, curling our toes,
stretching out our fingers, and crossing our arms are representations of humanities.

As a branch of knowledge, humanities explores on human conditions through the use of analytical, critical, or
theoretical methods.
These methods are in the form of ideas and words that help makes our life more meaningful.
Moreover, humanities can also be as the study on how an individual documented and processed his/her
experiences particularly in connecting to others. Imparting humanities as an academic science is designed to let
our learners (particularly the new generations) become creative and artistic individuals. Humanities help the
students to connect with the community through art exposure like museum outings, concerts, theatre
performance, etc.

1. Individual Function- The artists perform arts because of the passion of their respective art forms. A
singer presents a concert for free because of his advocacy and the love of singing. For example, Regine
Velaquez (Asia’s Songbird) is well-known for possessing extensive vocal range.
2. Social Function- Man associates with others through his art performance that arouses social
consciousness. Examples of this association are the choral singing, group dancing, public art exhibits
and other practices.
3. Economic Functions- Arts are emerging as a potent force in the economic life of people assumes an
essential role as a direct and indirect contributor to state economies. Example of this is by generating
economic vitality in under-performing regions through crafts, tourism, and cultural attractions.
4. Political Functions- Art provides a forum for ideas that will lead to employment, prestige, status, and
power. During election period, for example, the candidates created their artworks (poster) which
expresses their propaganda, agendas and political views about making a stable society.
5. Historical Functions- Art is an essential technique for information to be recorded and preserved. It
serves to document or reconstruct historical figure and events. Most arts that are in Museums, for
example, are filled with amazing stories about the world most excellent and most creative people who
brought us the treasures. By looking at a work of art’s colors, materials, and symbolism, we can learn
about the story and culture that produced it in the past.
6. Cultural Functions- Art is an articulation and transmission of new information and values. Example,
when you think of Manila, you probably think of Fort Santiago, Luneta Park, and its world-renowned
churches, or the famous Intramuros.
7. Physical Functions- Buildings are artistically designed and constructed to protect their occupants and
make their life inside more meaningful. Architects, Industrial and Graphic Designers, and Interior
Decorators share responsibility in building environment that balance forms and functions.
8. Aesthetic Functions- Any artwork means beauty. It is visual spice for gracefully adorned interiors and
can bring out the most elegant features of different décor elements. It reasonably reproduced visual
images which communicate through fantastic persuasions and meaningful words.

What is a Subject?
A painter, a poet, a writer, a choreographer, a photographer, a film-maker, a cartoonist, a designer and some
other art practitioners will never run out of subject. There are unlimited subjects that surround us. Every minute,
every second, we see potential concrete and abstract material that can be utilized as a subject.
Art generally refers to the thing; object, person, landscape, event, etc. depicted by the artist in his/her artwork.
The Subject serves as the window of the artwork. Audience will be informed of what the artwork is all about.
On the picture below, what do you think is its Subject? Its subject varies from one’s perspective to another.

Not only concrete objects in the real world but also anything in the realms of imagination can be used as a
subject in art.

Representational Art
• An artwork that has a subject • Also known as objective art (easily objectify
the subject)
• Paintings • Sculptures
• Photography • Graphic arts

• Theatre

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 12


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
Sometimes paintings and sculptures do not have subjects, more so with dance, theater and literature,
which do not depict clear subjects/ representations but have themes, would help the audience clarify their
meanings and intentions.

Non- Objective Art


× defines a type of abstract art that is usually, but not always, geometric and aims to convey a sense of simplicity
and purity.
× Artwork that have no resemblance to any real subject

What is Content?
A Content is not subject or things in the painting. Content is the communication of ideas, feelings and
reactions connected with the subject. When we look at a painting its content is what is sensed rather than what can
be analyzed. It is the ultimate reason for creating art. It is the theme which bears the essence or substance of a thing
or an object.

Kinds and Sources of Subject


The kinds and sources of subject enumerated below are explored and prevalent in any form of art expression, either in
any form of art expression, either in visual, auditory, or combined arts.

6. Religion and Mythology

• Practiced by religious and tribal groups

• Usually done by an insider artist or a devoted member of a religious group. If not they are artisans who
followed a traditional practice

7. Dreams and Fantasies

• Inspired by unconscious mind.


• Artworks inspired by dreams and fantasies are called SURREALISM.
• Subject-realistic, however, the imagery is distorted, and the setting becomes a dream world.

ARTIST
■ Defined as an art practitioner who produces or creates indirectly functional arts with aesthetic values using
imagination.
■ They provide us paintings, sculptures, dances, music, literary pieces, etc. as the means of provoking our
thoughts, ideas, and emotions that are necessary to discover ourselves and our being.
■ A formal art study would be an advantage, but it is not a requirement to practice art.
■ Acquiring or learning skills in art is not just taught and learned in a formal art school but also acquired
informally…
■ More artists feel free in making their art.
■ “An artist will do whatever it takes to make the work right.”

ARTISAN

■ People have different perceptions on the importance of artists and artisans in our society. They are the same in
the sense that they both develop works of art; hence, they are also different since they address different needs
of human beings.
■ Artisans works are also noticed and valued- only in different ways and levels.
■ The relevance and usefulness of the artisans works make them essential in our daily living.
■ Artisans are there to facilitate easy living.
■ A craftsman such as carpenter, carver, plumber, blacksmith, weaver, embroider, etc. who produces directly
functional and/or decorative arts.
■ They help us in meeting our basic needs such as food, clothing, dwelling, furniture, kitchen, utensils, and
everything that makes our life easy are crafted by artisans.

Elements of Art

These are the visual qualities in creating a work of art.

1. Line

× This is a fundamental form of Visual Communication.


× A line is a path that a point takes through space. Lines can be thick, thin, dotted or solid. They can make
straight movements, zigzags, waves or curls.
× Lines can convey emotion as well. They may show excitement, anger, calmness, tension, happiness and
many other feelings. Because of this, some are said to be expressive.

Horizontal Lines are generally restful, like the horizon, where the sky meets land.

Vertical lines seem to be reaching, so they may seem inspirational like tall majestic trees or church steeples.

Diagonal lines tend to be disturbing. They suggest decay or chaos like lightening or falling trees.

Expressive Lines tend to be found in nature and are very organic.

Other lines that are very measured, geometric, directional and angular are called Constructive lines. They tend
to appear to be human-made because of their precision.

2. Shape

Shape is created when a line becomes connected and encloses space. It is the outline or outward
appearance of something. Shapes are 2 Dimensional (2-D) which means there are 2 ways they can be
measured.
You can measure its HEIGHT and its WIDTH.

There are two basic types of shape.


× Geometric shapes have smooth even edges and are measurable. This includes the square, the circle,
the triangle and the rectangle.

Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
× Organic shapes have more complicated edges and are usually found in nature. Leaves, flowers, amoeba,
etc.

3. Form

A Form is a shape that has become 3- Dimensional (3-D) Form has HEIGHT, WIDTH and
DEPTH--which is the 3rd dimension. Depth shows the thickness of the object. Forms are NOT flat like shapes
are.
How to turn shapes into form?

× A triangle becomes a cone or a pyramid.

× A square becomes a cube.

× A rectangle becomes a box or a cylinder.

× In order to turn a circle into a sphere, you must shade it. You can’t add another side to it.

4. Color
Color can add interest and reality to artwork. The use of a 12-step color wheel will help us understand
color more effectively. When light is reflected through a prism, colors can be seen.

These colors are: Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Indigo, Blue and Violet
Remember the anagram: ROY G BIV

A long time ago, artists decided that these colors would be more useful to them if they were placed in
a wheel fashion. This became known as the color wheel.

Here are 3 primary colors:

Red, Yellow and Blue

These colors are primary for 2 reasons:


1. They can’t be mixed to be made
2. They make all the other colors on the color wheel

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 21


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
When you mix 2 primary colors together, you get a secondary color.
For example:
Red and Yellow= Orange

+ =

Red and Blue= Violet

+ =
Yellow and Blue= Green

+ =

When you mix a primary and a secondary color together you get an intermediate color.
For example:
Red and Orange= Red-Orange
Yellow and Green= Yellow-Green
Blue and Green= Blue-Green
Red and Violet= Red-Violet
Yellow and Orange= Yellow-Orange
Blue and Violet= Blue-Violet

Color Schemes

Color is divided into groups based on the way they are placed on the color wheel:
3-4 colors “next-door-neighbors” to each other creates an analogous color scheme.

2 colors that are directly opposite each other (going across the center) create a complementary color
scheme.

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 22


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
A Split-Complementary color scheme is a harmony of color and that features a base color and two
colors on either side of its complement.

A Triadic color scheme uses 3 colors that are equally spaced apart on the color wheel.

Temperature
Colors can convey emotion and feelings too.

Have you ever felt “blue?” Been “green’ with envy? Called a “yellow” coward?

It is important that artists understand the effects of color when they are trying to get the viewers of
their art to feel a particular way.

Warm colors are those that have Reds, Yellows and Oranges. Warm colors seem to advance (or
come forward) in an artwork.

Cool colors are those that have Blues, Greens and Violets. Cool colors seem to recede (or go back
into) an artwork.

Color can be described by its Properties:

Hue Intensity Value


• Value is the lightness or
darkness of a color. Value
• is the brightness or dullness of
makes objects appear more real
• The actual color or the identity a color
because it imitates natural light.
of a color. • is a color’s strength,
When showing value in a work
saturation, purity
of art, you will need a LIGHT
SOURCE.

Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
A light source is the place where the light is coming from; the darkest areas are always on the
opposite side of the light.
In order to have a successful drawing, you will need to show a full value range, which means that
there are very light areas, middle tones, and very dark areas. This is a way of giving a work of art Contrast. In
drawing, value can be added several ways:

Color Value
When you use only one color plus its tints and shades, you are using a monochromatic color scheme.
A tint is a color plus white. A shade is a color plus black

5. Texture
Texture is the way the surface of an object actually feels. In the artistic world, we refer to two
types of texture---tactile and implied.

Tactile or real
• This is the way the surface of an object actually feels. Examples would be sandpaper, cotton balls, tree bark,
puppy fur, etc.

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 25


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
Implied Texture is the way the surface of an object looks like it feels. This is the type of texture that
artists use when they draw and paint. Textures may look rough, fuzzy, gritty, or scruffy, but can’t actually be
felt.

6. Space
This is the distance around, between, above, below, and within an object.

Positive and Negative space is a way that an artwork is divided. When planning a work of art, both
areas must be examined so that they balance one another. Drawing items running off the page and zooming in on
objects are ways to create visual interest within a work.

Space is basically divided into 3 parts: Foreground, Middle Ground and Background

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 26


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
Space can be shallow or deep depending on what the artist wants to use. Shallow space is used when
the artist has objects very close to the viewer.

Deep Space may show objects up close but objects are shown far away too.

Perspective is also a way of showing space in a work of art. Perspective is when the artist uses a
vanishing point on the horizon and then creates a sense of deep space by showing objects getting progressively
smaller as they get closer to the vanishing point.

Objects may overlap as well. When objects are overlapped it is obvious that enough space had to be in the
picture to contain all the objects that have been included.

Principles of Design

1. Balance
This is the way the elements are arranged to create a feeling of stability in a work.
× Symmetrical Balance. The parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other.

× Asymmetrical Balance. When one side of a composition does not reflect the design of the other.

× Radial Balance. This is any type of balance based on a circle with its design extending from
center.

Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
2. Emphasis
This is the focal point of an image, or when one area or thing stands out the most.

× Contrast. A large difference between two things to create interest and tension.

3. Rhythm and Movement


This is a regular repetition of elements to produce the look and feel of movement.

This document is a property of NONESCOST Module 1 | Page 29


Unauthorized copying, uploading, and / or editing is prohibited. (For Classroom Use Only) Prepared by: Mark A. Labrador
× Pattern and Repetition. Repetition of Design.

4. Unity
This happens when all the elements and principles work together to create a pleasing image.

5. Variety
This is the use of differences and change to increase the visual interest of the work.

6. Proportion

This is the comparative relationship of one part to another with respect to size, quantity, or degree;
SCALE.

NEW MEDIA, NEW ART FORMS (20 TH- 21ST CENTURY) - the artists in this period used new materials, new
techniques of painting and developed new theories about how art should reflect the perceived world. They abandoned
strict adherence to traditional hierarchies of mediums and embraced any means, including technological, which best
served their purpose.
1. Fauvism and Expressionism (1890-1939 AD). First 20th century movement in the modern art led by Matisse
and Rouault. The group called ‘Les Fauves’ or the ‘The Wild Beast” used with colors and depictions of
primitive objects and people. Comparing the two art movements of Fauvism and German Expressionism is
like looking at two sides of the coin. Both rest on the value of color as applied in painting, but where Fauvists
used color to express joy, the artists of the German Expressionist movement manipulated it to convey the
darker side of human emotions, ending up with a much different result.

Example: Fauvism- Madame Matisse, 1905 (oil on canvas)


Expressionism- “The Scream”, 1893 (waxed crayon tempera on paper)

*Note: to understand more about Fauvism, you can watch this video entitled Fauvism- Overview- Goodbye Art
Academy

2. Cubism. (1907-1914). the first abstract art developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This has been
considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Organic forms were broken down into a
series of geometric shapes and reassembled in an abstract form. The cubist artist views an object from many
angles selected from sight, memory and movement.

The Charnel House


Pablo Picasso

TWO DISTINCT STAGES OF CUBISM


• The Analytic Cubism. The artist reduced natural forms to their basic geometric parts and
reconstructed it within a geometric framework in a two-dimensional picture plane.

Glass on a Table Tea Time


Georges Braque (1909-1910) Jean Metzinger (1911)

• Synthetic Cubism. Explores the use of foreign objects as abstract signs. The use of collage on a
painting is one good example of a “Synthetic Cubism”.

3. Dada (1916-1923). An artistic and literary movement that began in Zurich, Switzerland. It emerged out
negative reactions to the horrors of World War I and rationalism. A sort of revolution against the very concept
of art that rejected reason and logic, irrationality and intuition.

Example: Marcel Duchamp- leading dada artist, used ready- made or mass- produced objects. He is well known for
his work“Fountain”, a urinal, turned upside down to which he submitted to an exhibition in 1917.

4. Surrealism (1922-1939 AD). The works feature the element of surprise, evocative juxtaposition of strange
images in order to include unconscious dream elements. In painting, it is expressed in two techniques: the
Naturalistic technique in the works of Salvador Dali and the Abstract technique in the works of Joan Miro.

Mystery and Melancholy of a Street The Treachery of Images (This is Not a Pipe)
Giorgio de Chirico (1914) René Magritte (1929)

*Note: to understand more about Surrealism, you can watch this video entitled Surrealism- Art Vocab Definition

5. Abstract Expressionism (1940-1960s). An American post-World War II art movement that emerged in the
1940’s and flourished in the ‘50s. This is regarded by many as the golden age of American art and the first
American movement to achieve international influence. Although artists in this movement vary greatly in
style, yet they all share the same outlook in the freedom of individual expression.

6. Pop Art (1950-1960s). An art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in United Kingdom and became
prevalent in the late 1950s in the US. It depicts methods, styles, and theme of popular culture and employs
techniques of commercial art or popular illustration such as comic strips and advertising.

7. Optical Art (1960s). Also known as Op Art, a style of visual art. The term is used to describe artworks which
seem to swell and vibrate through their use of optical illusion. This method of painting concerns with the
interaction between illusion and picture plane that produces dramatic visual effects that are difficult for the
eye to resolve. This is a dynamic visual art, stemming from a discordant figure- ground relationship that
causes the two planes to be in contradictory and the creation of effects using pattern and line.

8. Photorealism (1960s- 1970s). The subject matter, usually everyday scenes, is portrayed in an extremely
detailed, exacting style. It is also called super realism, especially when referring to sculpture. It is the genre of
painting using cameras and photographs to gather visual information and to create a painting that appears to
be photographic.

9. Minimalism (1960s- 1970s). Also called ABC art, Minimal Art, Reductivism, and Rejective Art. It is a school
of abstract painting and sculpture that emphasizes extreme simplification of form- mainly from American
movement in the visual arts and music originating in New York City during the late 1960s and displaying
extreme simplicity of form and literal objective approach. It is composed of extremely simple monumental
geometric forms made of fiberglass, plastic, sheet metal, or aluminum, either raw or solidly painted with
bright industrial colors. Minimalist sculptors attempted to make their works totally objective, inexpensive, and
non- referential.
