What’s In
ELEMENTS OF ARTS:
The building blocks or ingredients of art.
PRINCIPLES OF ART:
What we use to organize the Elements of Art, or the tools to make art.
BALANCE - The way the elements are arranged to create a feeling of stability
in a work.
EMPHASIS - The focal point of an image.
CONTRAST - A large difference between two things to create interest and
tension.
RHYTHM & MOVEMENT - A regular repetition of elements to produce the
look and feel of movement.
PATTERN/REPETITION - Repetition of an object or symbol to create a
unified look, shape and design.
UNITY - When all the elements and principles work together to create a
pleasing image.
VARIETY - The use of differences and change to increase the visual interest
of the work.
PROPORTION - The comparative relationship of one part to another with
respect to size, quantity, or degree.

VOCABULARY:
Arts of the Renaissance Period covers artworks produced during the 14th,
15thand 16thcenturies in Europe.The most common subject of this period is
human philosophy. Famous artists of this era were Michelangelo, Leonardo
Da Vinci, Raphael and Donatello.
Baroque- The term Baroque was derived from the Portuguese word “barocco”
which means “irregularly shapedpearl or stone.”It describes a fairly complex
idiom and focuses on painting, sculpture, as well as architecture.
The arts of the Baroque Period aremore elaborate and full of emotion. They
developed in Europe around the 1600’s. This type of art form was highly
encouraged by the Catholic Church to propagate itsdogma. Artists who were
popular during this era were Caravaggio, Rubens, Velasquez, Rembrandt,
and Bernini.
What is It
Italian Renaissance began in the late 14thcentury. It wasan era of great artistic and
intellectual achievementwith the birth of secular art.
The focus of Renaissance art was on realistic and humanistic art characterized by
accurate anatomy, scientific perspective, and deeper landscape.Renaissance
painters depicted real-life figuresand their sculptureswere naturalistic portraits of
human beings.

Here are some examples of Renaissance Art:
“Pieta” by Michelangelo

ELEMENTS USED: PRINCIPLES APPLIED:
Rhythm/Movement:
- implied by the actions/gesturesand
the directions the human figures
seem to lean on to.
Proportion:
- size of the human figures is realistic
as compared to the room.
- Anatomy of the subjects’ bodies is
real-life
“The Transfiguration” by Raphael

Wikipedia, Transfiguration

David by Donatello
Baroque sculpture, typically larger than life size,is marked by a similar sense of
dynamic movement, along with an active use of space.Baroque architecture was
designed to create spectacle and illusion. Thus the straight lines of the Renaissance
were replaced with flowing curves.

“Conversion of St. Paul” by Carravagio
11
ELEMENTS USED: PRINCIPLES APPLIED:
Lines: golden rays in the background and Unity:still dramatically thematic though
the organic lines in the drapery with emphasis and accents
Rhythm/Movement:
- implied by the theatrical
actions/gesturesof the subject and
the flow of the drapery in the
clothing
Proportion:
- the whole sculpture is larger than
life but anatomy is real-
life/realistically proportioned

Assessment
All the elements of art are utilized in Da Vinci’s Monalisa. Organic lines
and free-form shapes are evident in both the main subject and the
background. There’s an illusion of realism and volumetric form in the
painting depicted by the way Da Vinci masterfully used highlights and
shadows in his combination and manipulation of both warm and cool
colors. Space is also vastly shown in the Italianlandscape behind the
main figure where atmospheric perspective is applied through
vanishing details and receding color values of the trees and skies. The
brushstrokes are less visible creating an overall smooth texture.
This Baroque painting by Rubens used every element of art from the
organic and spontaneous brush-lines that form into a real-life portrait
of a fair-skinned woman with an elaborately drapedclothing, to the
brush-textured background of clouds and landscape. What’s also very
noticeable in this work of art is the rendering of highlights and
midtones of the black dress which depicts a shiny satin look. It
contrasts the porcelain white and rosy skin of the main subject,
“Helena Fourment.”
