Elements of Arts- Lines
What are lines?
There are two kinds of lines that will be discussed in this lesson. These are the organic
and inorganic lines. These lines are common in the attire and body accessories of the
cultural communities in the Philippines.
What are organic lines?

Banana Plant Coconut tree

These lines have length and direction that form an irregular

shape. Organic lines are found in nature like those lines lines
formed in banana plants and in coconut trees shown above.

What are inorganic lines?

Inorganiv lines are mnarks with length and direction that are straight
and form a geometric shape. The body accessories of the Tiruray and
T’boli on the right and below show these lines.
 Reviewing colors
Look at the T’boli attire. What colors are used by the T’boli?
What are the different types of color?
The three basic colors in art are red, yellow, and blue.

Do you know that combining two primary colors will create another color? The new
created are called secondary colors.

Shapes
You can see different shapes and sizes in the drawings or artworks displayed in
museums. The shapes come in the form of circles, squares, triangle, and geometric
figures. An artist draws by using motifs and styles with the use of different strokes,
repeated, and alternated shapes. The bracelet and attire of the Ifugao, another ethnic
group, have repeated and alternated shapes and designs like those shown below.

Circle Triangle

Square Repeated and alternated shapes

What is overlapping of shapes?

Overlapping of shapes in art is the placement of objects over one another. This is
done to create the feeling of depth to a painting by positioning some objects behind
others.
Depths can be defined as the illusion of distance or a three- dimensional effect in a
design.

T’boli Accessories

Do you notice how overlapping beads added a three- dimensional effect in the
design? This effect means more depth and texture and made it really interesting. The
various colors in earth tones and shapes of the beads also made an impact to the
accessories.

Colors
Look at the painting of a bahay-kubo below.

How do colors express mood and atmosphere?

Do you know that the colors of the bahay – kubo create different feelings?
The color red creates an atmosphere of riches and power. The color yellow brings,
while blue gives out of mood of peace.

In this lesson, you will study printmaking of the cultural communities in our country. The
other things that will discussed in this lesson are the following:
A. Process: Printmaking
1. Relief paint
2. Glue print
3. Cardboard print, found objects print
B. Art Elements

2. Colors- earth or natural colors
3. Texture- from a variety of materials
4. Shapes- geometric, two-dimensional shapes
C. Principles of design:
1. Contrast -smooth vs. rough, curves vs. straight lines, small shapes vs. big
shapes
2. Harmony
3. Ethnic motif designs
WEEK 1:
Discusses the texture and characteristic of each materials
What is relief printing?
You learned in your previous lesson that printmaking is making a copy of a picture or
image. Printmaking is said to have been practiced here in our country as far as many
centuries back. This is shown in ancient clay pots that have been imprinted with the
shapes and textures of shells and stones.
 There are several types of making prints. One of these is relief painting. Relief
painting uses woodcut or wood engraving, and rubber stamp. One of the earliest forms
of relief printing is woodcut printing.
In woodcut printing, the artist draws an image directly on a wood surface. Then the artist
removes the wood around the image. This removal of the wood is called the
subtractive process. The background image is considered as low relief or the
positives.
What are other examples of relief printing?

Metal cut- is a relief printing technique

that involves engraving on metal.

Wood engraving- is a type of relief

printing technique that involves an image
carved on the wood and the artist applies
ink on the wood and prints using low
pressure.

Relief etching- is a method of etching in

which the parts of the design that take the
ink are embossed into the plate. The
design is drawn on the plate is then
immersed in acid, which eats away the
unprotected parts so that the design
stands out.
