Principles behind the elements

Learning Competencies

The learner:
1. analyzes elements and principles of art in the production of one’s arts and
crafts inspired by the arts of MIMAROPA and the Visayas. (A7EL-IIb-1)

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Hello! How are you today? After our previous encounter in the past lesson, I
am sure that you have realized how important the art elements are. Without those
elements, it is difficult to appreciate a specific piece of work because those elements
somehow serve as bases in understanding a piece of man’s creativity. From the
colors and multiple incorporation of shapes and various textures, the art products of
MIMAROPA and Visayas are truly a pride to honor.

This time, we will not be going anywhere far from here. We will still stick to our
previous point of destination. Let us wander once again in the beautiful places of
MIMAROPA and Visayas as we deal with the different principles of art and design.

Principles are the spring board and the guiding light of something. In all
aspects, we consider its signifying role. Even in arts, the importance of principles
cannot be taken for granted. These are the fundamental values that we follow as we
observe consistency in the creation of aesthetics.
Now that you are about to open another door of learning, sit back and let me
be in charge of your journey.
Learning Objectives

WHAT’S NEW

In the previous lesson, we dealt with the different elements with regards to the
arts and crafts of MIMAROPA and Visayas. I know how well you enjoyed our
previous lessons and activities.
Now, before we open up our minds for new learning, let us try to do this
activity called “Amazing Notes”
Directions: In a separate sheet of paper, kindly copy this. Afterwards, fill it out with
the concepts that you have learned from the previous discussion. You may construct
short phrases or sentences for your ideas.

MY AMAZING NOTES

Thank you for your answers! Your participation is highly acknowledged.

Needless to worry, this portion will not be graded.
Previously, we have discussed the different elements of arts that are used in
the production of crafts in MIMAROPA and Visayas. Being influenced by diverse
cultures and inspirations from nature, the regions made use of their natural
resources as the means of expressing their inner selves.

 Now that you are about to discover what is inside this module, Will you spend
a moment to look at the question wall?

Directions: In the boxes below, kindly input the questions that you would like to
have answers in the discussion to follow. Use separate sheet in your activity
notebook.
ACTIVITY 1.1: QUESTION WALL

WHAT WHEN WHO

WHERE HOW

That one is easy, right? I hope that all the questions you wrote in the wall will
be answered in our discussion. But before we completely get in there, let’s try to
have this another activity below.

ACTIVITY 1.2: “AESTHETICS CHECK”

Directions: Observe the given picture. Note your observation and be ready to answer
the questions that follow.

4
 Thank you for being cooperative! It matters to me a lot. To enhance your
critical thinking, please be guided by the following questions and try to answer them
in a separate sheet in your activity notebook.

Processing Questions:
1. What observation do you have in the picture?
2. Can you name the different things you see in it?
3. What will happen if you remove some parts of this picture? Why?

That one is quite tough. Your observations are put into words and I admire
you for your untiring participation. Now, bear with me as I tour you in our discussion.

WHAT IS IT

In everything that we do, we cannot do away from the fact that we need
techniques, materials and style to enable us in achieving our target. Just like how we
perform our daily tasks and assignments, arts also need techniques aside from
materials and style. Principles are the underlying techniques per se. If the elements
are visual tools, the principles are the guide on how something simple can be
transformed into better ones. .
Before we delve deeper, I want you to discover how these principles play their
role in creating a well-balanced artwork.
I have prepared for you an activity called, Round D’ Craft

 Well done! I am happy that you are able to match the principles with the
definitions. With your knowledge in cracking the activities that you have just
encountered, you are now ready to enter the discussion phase.

Come on now and read it with me.

When an artist decides doing something, it is always affected by culture and
his own understanding of arts. But his understanding and culture alone cannot
suffice the achievement of a successful interpretation. There must be a set of
governing rules in the use of a specific material or element that will enable a
successful manifestation of visual effect to the viewers. It is agreed that these
principles are vital in the successful illustration of arts. Being unique in function,
these underlying values play its inimitable role respectively.
Today, we will be dealing with the different principles of arts of MIMAROPA
and Visayas in terms of architecture, daily objects, sculpture, fabric and body
ornamentation.
The principles of art are the underlying support of the elements. While the
elements are the visual tools, the principles of art reflect how the elements are to be
used to create a work of art. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast,
emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.
THE PRINICIPLES OF ART MAGNIFIED…

Balance refers to the visual weight of the artwork. It is a sense that something
is not giving discomfort to the eyes of the viewers. There are 3 kinds of balance.
1. Symmetry is a type of balance in which both sides of a composition have the
same elements in the same position.
2. Asymmetry is a type of balance in which the composition is balanced due to
the contrast of any of the elements of art. It can be perceived in the different
sizes of circles with one which is smaller and the other one, bigger.
3. Radial symmetry is a type of balance in which elements are equally spaced
like that of the bicycle wheel and the spokes.

This is the Miag-ao Church.

With two towers side by side the main
building, the principle of balance is
portrayed. Being asymmetrical, since
the two towers were commissioned by
two different priests at two different
times, the different towers are still
pleasing to the eyes. In this
architecture, the two towers paved way
to increase the aesthetics of the main
façade which contains a variety of
elements put together in the bas relief.
Miag-ao Church

8
 WORDS TO REMEMBER:
BAS RELIEF is a kind of carving or sculpture in which the figures
are raised in a few inches from the flat background.

The church is decorated with a sculpted wall. Centered by a coconut tree that
is portrayed as the tree of Life where St. Christopher holds the Child Jesus, the
remaining decors of the façade depicts the daily life of Miag-ao people which
obviously is showing variety in the utilization of art elements.

Contrast is the difference

between elements of art in a
composition, such that each
element is made stronger in
relation to the other. When placed
next to each other, contrasting
elements command the viewer's
attention. The areas of contrast
are among the first thing that the
viewer’s eyes are drawn.

Contrast can be achieved

by placing objects together and
Sablayan Church
creating contrasting effect.
Negative/Positive space is an example of contrast including the command of variety
of colors.

This is the old church of Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. Located at the foot of
“Bundok Bayan”, at Barangay Poblacion. The old church is a 16th century antiquated
legacy of the Spanish missionaries.Here, lime or “apog” is used as cement for
walling. Some old folks believed that in the olden times, before the interior
reconstruction of the church, there used to be underground dwellings for nuns and a
tunnel at the back of the church that led to the lighthouse of the nearby mountain
park.

The interior of the church portrays the principle of contrast beginning with the
opposing colors of ceilings and floor, balanced out by the wall of decorative stones
and white colored pillars and columns to project the height of the inside.

9
 In this embroidery, the third principle highlighted is emphasis. It is when
the artist creates an area of composition that is visually dominant and commands the
viewer's attention. This is often achieved by contrast.

Panubok is one among the

many definitions of Capisnon
culture. Being the traditional
embroidery of Panay-Bukidnon,
this art that is rooted from their
deep connection to the
environment has shown how
inspired their people are in creating
their wonderful designs. This fabric,
being inspired from nature has
variety of incorporated designs but
is centered by a colorful flower and
Panubok adorned with lines and mixture of
colors. The attention of the viewers is locked on the circular pattern of bright colors
but the supporting details are embroidered right round it.

Movement is the result of using the elements of art where the eyes are
commanded to move around the image. A sense of movement can be created by
diagonal or curvy lines, either real or implied, by edges, by the illusion of space, by
repetition and by energetic mark-making.

The known body decoration

in Visayas is Pintados. Relived by
their purpose of showing bravery
and heroism, this practice of
smearing the skin and inserting
pigment to create an indelible
design has long been a trademark
of their culture. Since the tattooing
surface is the skin of a human, the
natural tendency is for every line
and curve to follow the person’s
anatomy and kinesthetics.
In this art, the lines painted
in the bodies are causing the eyes
of the viewers to create an illusion
of movement.
Pintados

10
 Rhythm is created by movement implied through the repetition of elements of
art in a non-uniform but organized way. It is related to rhythm in music. Unlike
pattern which demands consistency, rhythm relies on variety.

The cultural treasure found in the early

1960s in Manunggul, a part ofthe archaeologically
significant Tabon Cave Complex in Lippun
Palawan is one of the numerous jars found in a
believed to be burial site. The design of this jar is
unique in all aspects. The covering is designed with
3 objects: the soul, the boatman and the boat itself.
The body, however, is designed with lines which is
a depiction of the sea waves. This rhythmic design
shows the maritime culture of the Filipinos; how
one’s soul after he dies is being transported by
boats in water and seas as they go to the afterlife.
Manunggul Jar The lines in the jar body are non-uniform but are
organized and clearly show a rhythmic flow.

Pattern is the uniformed repetition of any of the

elements of art or any combination. Anything can be
turned into a pattern through repetition.

Tingkop is one among the notable products of

Tagbanua tribe in Palawan. It is a cone-shaped basket
with a visibly- creative pattern in the outside that serves
as its decorative design. This is made possible by an
alternate placing of natural bamboo strips and blackened
ones, thereby creating figures that are repeated similarly.

Tingkop

Living in the foothills of Malasimbo, Puerto

Galera, the Iraya Mangyans are indigenous people of
Oriental Mindoro who are known for their skills in nito-
weaving. This craft has been a preserved tradition that
dictates their unique culture and art. The tradition of
nito weaving has been the primary source of their
income as the vine called nito is easily found in the
forest where they are living. This material is harnessed
to provide use to their basketry and weaving. The
diagonal pattern in the canister is only one among the
many designs they make.
Nito
11
 Another example of pattern
is the most popular and still existing
finished item of Ilo-ilo’s weaving
industry, the patadyong or the
wrap-around. To Panay weavers to
which Ilo-ilo is a part, this
patadyong is not only a fabric but is
a parcel of Panayanon history and
culture. The patadyong is a native
tube-like skirt made from hablon Patadyong
clothing that is distinctly Ilonggo in color and character. The garment is made of
diverse colored strips of cotton that has become their indigenous work of art.

Unity/Variety is present when you want an art to feel unified such that all the
elements fit together comfortably. Too much unity creates monotony, too much
variety creates disharmony. Both of these principles are needed for the areas of
interest in your composition along with places for your eyes to rest.

Façade of Miag-ao Church

The variety of elements in the façade of Miag-ao church consists of an
ornately decorated bas-relief in the middle of two huge watchtower belfries on each
side. The bas-relief is a mixed influence of Medieval Spanish, Chinese, Muslim and
local traditions and elements, a unique characteristic of the church façade. A
prominent part of the façade is a coconut tree depicted as the tree of life where St.
Christopher holds on. The saint is dressed in local and traditional clothing carrying
the Child Jesus on his back. The rest of the façade features the daily life of Miag-ao
during that time including native flora (like papaya, coconut and palm tree) and
fauna. Despite the various decorative designs in the façade, the tall coconut figure
enables the eye to rest, thereby, creating unity in the sculpture.
