23 Art is made up of various elements. These elements are the building blocks used to create art. Identifying these elements will help us evaluate the composition of art and better understand the artists’ choices and content. On the other hand, principles of design combine various elements to create a better visual representation. It is the device that makes the images more visually appealing. When design principles are used together, the artist can create amazing artwork.
The Elements of Art 24 Rainbow Colorful Art by Steve Johnson
In visual art, space pertains to emptiness, which may be positive space or negative space . Positive space refers to the part that is enclosed in a shape, while negative space refers to the opposite part that the shape is enclosing. Space 25 Positive and Negative Space
In visual arts, line is a series of points that may have two characteristics: form (curved, dotted, or broken) direction (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) In other disciplines like theater, line pertains to the script. In dance, it is the routine of steps. Line 26 Zigzag Line Various Types
Shape is formed by connecting both ends of a line. It is a two-dimensional figure with length and width. On the other hand, form is three-dimensional: it has the same dimensions as a shape except with added depth and therefore does not feel flat. Shape and Form 27 Elementary Form
Color 28 Abstract Background Art Colors by Andrea Stöcke l When light bounces off an object and reaches our eyes, we perceive color. Color may have lightness or darkness, or coolness or warmth.
In visual arts, it is a property of color that pertains to the lightness or darkness. In music, value refers to the pitch. It is the highness or lowness of a sound. Value 29 Value Scales Pencil 10183 by Nevit

It refers to the relationship of the elements, particularly the relative size of parts of a whole. Scale and Proportion 32 In visual arts, it is the unity of the artwork, specifically in reference to the arrangement of its parts. While in music, it refers to the simultaneous sounding or playing of different notes to produce a sound. Harmony It refers to diversity. This means adding multiple elements to break the artwork’s monotony and make it more interesting. Variety
Movement serves as one of the fundamental principles in dance and theater. In visual arts, an artwork has movement when it incorporates the passage of time, even in an illusory manner. Movement 33 Claude Monet (1840)
It refers to the repetition of certain elements to produce a pattern. In visual arts, repeated design elements may create a certain flow and lead the viewer’s eyes. In music, this refers to the even distribution of notes. Rhythm 34 It refers to the even distribution of elements. There are two types of balance in visual arts: Informal balance or asymmetry – when the designs are not equally distributed Formal balance or symmetry – when the weight of the designs is equally distributed Balance
Emphasis is a principle that may refer to the greater impact given on a certain element. On the other hand, subordination serves as the opposite of emphasis as it refers to how certain elements supplement the emphasized elements in a design. Emphasis and Subordination 35
36 Art Forms in the Philippines Lesson 03 Unit 1| Integrative Art as Applied to Philippine Contemporary Art Art Forms in the Philippines
37 Are there any cultural practices or artistic productions you know in your region? What are the historical roots of these practices? THINK-PAIR-SHARE
Art, for indigenous people, had social utility. It is integrated into communal services, such as planting and harvesting, weddings, funerals, and rites of passage. Precolonial art was also used in the daily lives of people. For instance, there are woven fabrics for dresses, weapons for battles, and chants for a good harvest. Precolonial Art 38 Mindanao Burial Pottery by Gary Todd
The kashawing ritual , in Lake Lanao, is a prayer for abundance during harvesting season. It is a reenactment of a legendary pact between ancestors and unseen spirits. Higaonon and B’laan have banog-banog , and the Bagobos have the man-manok dance , which imitates a bird’s movement. Ifugao’s courtship ritual is called talip . These rituals are usually accompanied by their own musical instrument. An example of this is the Agung ensemble, which is usually played and complemented with dances that imitate the movements of animals. Precolonial Art 39 Agung by Philip Dominguez Mercurio
Indigenous arts were inspired by animism. They created statues to symbolize their ancestors or the deities they worshipped. The Ifugao carved bul-ul represents their granary god. In southern Philippines, okir is a curvilinear decoration and is influenced by Indian and Islamic art. Precolonial Art 40 Seated Bul-ul from Ifugao by Hiart Mindanao Bangsomoro Islamic Art by Gary Todd
The Manunggul Jars is a burial jar excavated in the Tabon Cave in Palawan. Precolonial Art 41
Spanish colonization brought Catholicism, imposed western culture, and gave rise to religious or Christian and folk arts. There was also the rise of Hispanic baroque structure in the Philippines, where towns were created in a structure of a plaza complex with a church at the center. Spanish Colonial Art 42 Our Lady of the Gate Parish (Daraga Church) by Christopher Aquino
Religious icons like santos and retablos have become essential in rituals. Paintings focused on representing biblical characters and narratives. Music was used for liturgies, where worship became essential. Pasyon or pabasa , a narration of Christ’s passion is portrayed during the Lent season. Awit and korido became popular in the provinces of Iloilo, Pampanga, Ilocos, and Bicol. The Spanish colonization marked the rise of kundiman and balitao . Even Spanish theater was adopted, which gave birth to sarsuwela , senakulo , and komedya . Spanish Colonial Art 43

Americans introduced the public education system in the Philippines. Thus, the learners were required to learn English. They also brought Philippine literature into English. Paz Marquez Benitez’s short story Dead Stars marked the birth of modern Philippine literature in English. American and Japanese Colonial Art 45
American popularized seculars like Vaudeville or Bodabil in theater. University of the Philippines (UP) was established, and the School of Fine Arts allowed Filipino artists, such as Fernando Amorsolo , to learn western techniques. The Japanese emphasized on nationalism, the effect of the war and repression on the Filipino people. American and Japanese Colonial Art 46 Hurly-Burly Extravaganza and Refined Vaudeville (1899)
Culture and arts were given more focus in line with the vision of a “ New Society ” during the Marcos regime. Urban planning and architecture were also highlighted through the establishment of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex and other structures. Social realism became the leading movement in response to martial law’s horrors. Literary, visual, and performing arts were used to express dissent. For instance, the acrostic poem Prometheus Unbound by Jose Lacaba , whose pen name is Ruben Cuevas , revealed the hidden message “Marcos, Hitler, Diktador, Tuta,” a chant during protests. Contemporary Arts in the Philippines 47
When martial law was lifted, Filipinos were reintroduced to democracy. The newfound freedom paved the way for more diverse and expressive Filipino artworks. Art has now become more about self-expression. With the rise of technology and the popularity of social media, Filipinos found more platforms and ways to express themselves, thereby continuously changing the art scene. Contemporary Arts in the Philippines 48
49 ART MOVEMENT The Philippines is an archipelagic nation, which has a diverse set of cultures and traditions. Because of this, various art forms can be found in the country. Different ethnic groups have their art traditions and styles that make up their identity. Likewise, art can contribute to the development of national identity by serving as reflections of a country’s realities, traditions, and history. Filipino artists constantly explore unique and resourceful ways to convey these realities and contribute to the nation’s culture and arts. Art movements such as realism, minimalism, conceptual art, and neo-Expressionism are some of the common movements that Filipino artists used in their creations. These movements help our artists create works representing the nation’s identity.
