Introductory Message For the facilitator: Arts have been part of our lives since early years of history. From then to contemporary times, the development of art has continuously grown and encompasses so many aspects of our lives. Hence, the learner and his/her family need to be aware that they get to encounter and to appreciate Art almost daily, and it has engaged in and part of their lives. More importantly, to make these encounters with arts meaningful, they need to know and to understand it. Having knowledge and understanding of art is essential as it can help to know and to understand oneself. To know and understand art, Module 5 is made with these in mind. This module can be used in school and at home as it is considered a part of a continuum of lessons in enhancing one’s knowledge of Art. Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions is a subject that will enhance the understanding of what is already known by both learner and parents. In this module, it is important that writing, drawing, and coloring materials are prepared ahead so that it would be easier to facilitate the activities. The learner should have their own pens, pencils and sharpeners, erasers, coloring materials, and bond papers. The learner should be told to use separate sheets in answering the pre-test, self-check exercises, and post-test. As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module. Notes to the Teacher Many of your students have a limited view of Art. They may just have a visual perspective of the arts from their experiences of drawing, coloring, illustrating, and looking at pictures and paintings. Broadening their view of Art will open a new way for them to appreciate it, with particular attention given to Contemporary Arts that are developed in the different regions of the country.

From the previous lessons, you described the various contemporary art forms of the Philippines based on the elements and principles of arts and you learned who are the National Artists of the Philippines and their contribution to Philippine Arts. Now, in relation to that, did you ever wonder how the elements and principles of arts is used in making an artistic artwork? Or did you ever wonder how to critic an artwork based on the elements and principles of arts? Those questions will be answered and explored in this module. To start your learning about the elements and principles of art, examine the following image of artwork and process your thoughts with the help of the guide questions below. Thinking Man by Ang Kiukok Redraw by Mervin Meude These are the guide questions:
characteristics: form – curved, dotted, or broken lines; and direction – vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines. Different characteristics of lines may convey different meanings: a) Horizontal Line creates an impression of serenity and perfect stability. b) Vertical Line creates an impression of strength and perfect stability. c) Diagonal Line creates an impression of action. d) Curved Line creates an impression of gradual change of direction. e) Circular Line creates an impression of abrupt change of direction. Moreover, lines can be classified into different types: a) Outlines are made by the edge of an object or its silhouette. b) Contour Lines describe the shape of an object and the interior detail. c) Expressive Lines catch the movement and gestures of an active figure. d) Sketch Lines capture the appearance of an object or impression of a place. e) Calligraphic Lines are the elegant handwriting or lettering done by hand. f) Implied Lines are lines that are not actually drawn but created by a group of objects seen from a distance.
2. Shape Shape is an area that is enclosed by a line or lines. Shapes are two dimensional figures with height and width. There are different kinds of shapes and these are geometric shapes, organic shapes, positive shapes, negative shapes, static shapes, and dynamic shapes. a) Geometric Shapes are circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and other geometric shapes. b) Organic Shapes are shapes found in nature and are free flowing, informal and irregular (abstract shapes). c) Positive Shapes are the solid forms in a design. d) Negative Shapes are the space around the positive shape. e) Static Shapes are shapes that appears stable and resting. f) Dynamic Shapes are shapes that appears moving and active. 3. Color Colors are the way we see light reflected from a surface or refracted through a prism. Colors we see in nature are reflections of light on the surfaces around us. We can classify colors into primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors, analogous Calligraphy
6. Value Value pertains to the lightness or darkness of a color in a given artwork. Value can be changed by adding white or black to a color and these described as tint and shade. a) Tint pertains to the lightness of a color. b) Shade pertains to the darkness of a color. 7. Form Form is the three-dimensionality of an object. It has dimensions of height, width, and length. According to Mader (2019), the elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition. Consequently, principles of art represent how the artist uses elements of art to create an effect and convey the artist's intent. **Principles of Art
8. Harmony This principle of art refers to the unity of an artwork. It is about the arrangement of the related elements that makes an artwork to be viewed as a whole. These elements and principles of arts are very important aspects in understanding and appreciating arts. It helps an artist to make an artistic artwork which conveys their essential ideas or their intent. However, it is not just served as a help to artists but also to the viewers. Through the elements and principles of art present in an artwork, viewers will be able to understand, appreciate, and evaluate an artwork. Hence, we will apply elements and principles of art in evaluating artworks. Evaluation of Artworks Based on Elements and Principles of Art This artwork was made by the National Artist of the Philippines in Visual Arts Hernando Ocampo entitled “Genesis”. According to Rafhael Piola (2015), “some of the elements that could be seen in this canvass, in my own opinion, would be lines (curved), shape (amorphic), light, and color. As for its principles of design and in my own opinion, some of the principles visible to this canvass would be variety in terms of its colors, and balance (asymmetrical), emphasis (focal point). Through the elements and principles that I have seen through this illustration, personally, I would interpret it as a very strong yet positive canvass because of its colors. With the color of red, for me it means that there is passion and dedication that the painter wants me to feel and I could also see a yellow color meaning happiness and positive vibes. As for its lines, it is curvy yet it is thin meaning it is flowing in a very calm state…”. This artwork of Hernando Ocampo was also assessed by Ambeth R. Ocampo through the online platform of Philippine Daily Inquirer. According to Ambeth Ocampo (2013), “with proper lighting, “Genesis” glows with the intensity of red-hot embers and emanating from its three-dimensional center are what seem to be claws or tongues of fire reaching out to the viewer”. Appreciation to this artwork of Hernando Ocampo by the viewers or other artists maybe similar or maybe different in some aspects. It is based on how they perceive the artwork with the help of elements and principles of arts or other factors that can influence them to appreciate or understand it. Overall, elements and principles of art are a must in learning and comprehending arts especially Philippine arts. Hence, if you are a student engage to arts or have an interest to arts, use these elements and principles of arts wisely in creating your unique and artistic pieces of art. Redraw by Mervin Meude
