    This document outlines the key elements of visual and auditory arts. For visual arts, the main elements are line, shape, space, color, form, and texture. Lines form the basis of shapes. Shapes can be flat or three-dimensional forms. Color is reflected light and includes hue, value, tint, and shade. Forms have three dimensions. Texture refers to how something feels or looks like it would feel. For auditory arts, the main elements are rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, timbre, and texture. Rhythm involves beats and tempo. Dynamics refer to loudness and volume. Melody is the memorable tune. Harmony involves different sounds supporting each other. Timbre is

    ELEMENTS

    Visual Arts and Auditory Arts


    ELEMENTS OF VISUAL ARTS
    Element Simple Definition

    Line Extended point

    Shape Enclosed line or space.

    Space Illusion of Depth

    Color Reflection of Light

    Form 3-Dimensional Shape

    Texture Tactile Element


    LINES
    ◦ One of the earliest artistic elements.
    ◦ Used to show the shape of various animals for hunting.
    ◦ Lines are foundations of art.
    SHAPES
    ◦ Areas of enclosed space which gives permanent meanings.
    ◦ Shapes are flat by default,
    ◦ They may be natural or geometric.
    SPACE
    ◦ Deals with the illusion of depth on a flat surface.
    ◦ It is the area or surface occupied by the artwork.
    COLOR
    ◦ What we see when light reflects on an object.
    ◦ Enhances the attractiveness of artworks.
    Hue - the family of colors where one color belongs to. For instance, the
    yellow belongs to the primary colors or primary hues because it cannot be
    achieved by mixing other colors. Orange belongs to the family of
    secondary hues because it is made by mixing red and yellow.
    Value – the dimension of color that pertains to the lightness or darkness of a
    color. In the color wheel which you already should know by now, the colors
    are always found in the middle value. But when you add an amount of white
    or black to a color, then it becomes either darker or lighter.
    Tint – the color that we produce when we add or mix white into a color to
    make it appear lighter. The example below shows you that the dark pink
    becomes light pink when we add white tint to it.
    Shade – the dimension of color that is present when we add black to a hue
    or color to make it darker. Look at the example below. Orange, as the first
    box on the left, changed shades when we add black to it, little by little.
    COLOR
    SCHEMES
    FORM
    ◦ Refers to the three-dimensional version of a shape.
    ◦ An artwork that has form can be viewed in different angles.
    ◦ Forms can be hard-edged or free flowing.
    Texture
    ◦ This is the way something feels, or looks like it might feel, in an
    artwork. This pertains to the tactile appearance or quality.
    ELEMENTS OF AUDITORY ARTS
    Element Simple Definition

    Rhythm The pulse of music

    Dynamics Volume

    Melody Tune of the song

    Harmony Togetherness of sound

    Timbre Color or sound quality

    Texture Interaction of melodies


    Rhythm
    ◦ This is the consistent pattern of identical or similar sounds in music.
    ◦ Associated with beats (basic unit), tempo (speed) and meter
    (organized beat in a recurring pattern)
    Dynamics
    ◦ Refers to the loudness or softness, volume and intensity of music.
    Melody
    ◦ The original tone and sound that we retain in our heads even after
    listening to the song / music.
    ◦ Memorable series of pitches.
    Harmony
    ◦ How each component of a musical piece or performance is
    supporting one another to create a coherent sound.
    ◦ For harmony to exist, there need to be more than one note sounding
    at once.
    Timbre
    ◦ This pertains to the color or sound quality of a tone.
    ◦ Defined by three factors:
    ◦ Harmonic Content – Intensity of harmonic tones
    ◦ Attack and Decay – The way sound is produced and naturally recedes.
    ◦ Vibrato - Natural and controlled pulsation of a tone.

    Sharp / Round / Reedy / Brassy


    Texture
    ◦ The interaction of melodies and harmonies within a song.
    ◦ Thin or thick.
    TYPES OF TEXTURE
    ◦ Monophonic - Only one musical part in a song
    ◦ Polyphonic – Two or more independent melodies are
    heard in a song.
    ◦ Homophonic – Homo meaning the same - Two or more
    sounds but one of the sounds is accompanying the main
    melody.
