The Meaning and Importance of Arts1.The term humanities is
derived from the Latin word humanus meaning human, cultured and
refined what humanities believes is that man should be humanized,
socialized and educated to respond positively and rapid changes. 2.

A Work of ArtA work of art is an activity that involves both
imagination and skill in accomplishing it. It creates aesthetic
feelings or experiences, which delight and satisfy our desire for
beautiful things. It is great when the aesthetic experiences it
creates uplifts us and stays vividly in our minds. Much more, a
work of art is presented in beautiful language, interesting to read
and arouses emotional response. According to Bogart, a work of art
is a record of the artists unique personality influenced
consciously or unconsciously by factors such as: his environment ,
traditions, national traits, religious beliefs, economic
conditions, his ideals or even the climate and geography. A work of
art represents or reflects the individual, the character or the
period and the place it is produced.
-
Art Appreciation is the ability to interpret or understand
man-made arts and enjoy them either through actual and work
experience with art tools and materials or possession of these
works of art for ones admiration and satisfaction. Art appreciation
therefore deals with learning or understanding and creating arts
and enjoying them

Grouping of Arts1.Visual Arts These art works are perceived by
our eyes which may be classified into graphic arts and plastic
arts. a.Graphic arts they have flat two-dimensional surface such as
painting, drawing, photography and other products of the printing
industry. It covers the commercial arts like the design of books,
advertisements, signs, posters and other displays for
advertisements.

Grouping of Arts b. Plastic Arts- these are visual arts which
have three-dimensional forms. Under this grouping are:
architectural designs and construction of buildings and other
structures: landscapes of gardens, parks, playgrounds, and golf
courses with plants, trees and vines, interior design for
convenience and beauty which include the furnishings accessories,
the door, ceiling and wall paper or paint; ant the textiles for
curtains and upholstery; sculpture which produces objects and
images out of stones, wood, clay; metal or ivory; crafts or the
designing and making of objects such as jewelry, ceramics,
leather-works, and weaving. Industrial arts which involve
specialized skill in making industrial designs of automobiles and

The Elements of Arts Art is a powerful language. Through it,
artists communicate thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Like most
languages, the language of art has its own special vocabulary. It

made.2. Secondary Hues (Green, Violet, and Orange)Or the binaries
result of combining any two colors in equal proportions or
amounts.3. Intermediate Hues (YO, RO, RV, BV, BG, and YG)These can
be produced by combining in equal measure a primary hue and a
secondary hue.
-
Kinds of Hues4. Tertiary Hue (OV, VO, OG) These can be produced
by combining in equal mixture any two secondary hues.5. Quaternary
Hues (BVOC These can be produced by mixing any 2 tertiary colors in
equal amount.

color schemes Monochromatic color scheme. This scheme uses
different values of a single hue. For example, dark green, medium
green, and light green make a monochromatic scheme.Analogous color
scheme. This scheme uses colors that are side by side on the color
wheel and share a hue.Warm or cool color scheme. Warm color
schemes- with red, yellow, and orange colors- remind us of the sun
and warmth. Artists use blue, green, and violet-cool color schemes
to make us think of cool items such as ice or grass.

Color Harmony Color Harmony- refers to combination of colors
that blend together well. When one decides which color of bag
matches with ones dress or which shoes to wear with certain pants,
he or she is deciding on a color harmony.A. Complementary Harmony
is the combination of 2 opposite colors in the color chart together
with their values and intensities.B. Double Complementary - is
achieved by combining of adjacent colors in the color chart with
their complements.
-
Color HarmonyC. Split- Complementary Harmony 3 colors together
with their values and intensities are involved.D. Double
Split-Complementary Harmony this is the combination of any two sets
of split complementary that lie directly, opposite each other.E.
Triads are said to be the richest of the harmonies. In the harmony
3 colors together with their values and intensities are used. It is
three equi-distant point on the color wheel. Example is the primary
triad.

LINE
Line is an element of art, which is the path of moving, pointing
thou space or the trace of a moving point. You can draw lines on
paper or scratch a line in wet clay with a tool. Lines can be seen
in your environment, such as web of a spider or the railing on a
stair.
-
MAIN KINDS OF LINESHorizontal Lines- are lines which run
parallel to the ground, appear to be at rest, and lines of repose
and serenity. They express ideas of calmness and quiescence.
Horizontal lines are found in reclining persons, in landscapes,
calm bodies of water and in the distant meeting of the earth and
sky in what is commonly called the horizon.
-
MAIN KINDS OF LINESVertical Lines- are lines that run up and
down seem to show dignity, formality and strength, stability and
majesty. They are poised, balanced, forceful, and dynamic. e.g. A
man standing straight, a tall tree, statues of saints and heroes
give an impression of dignity.Diagonal Lines- suggest action and
movement. They give animation to any composition in which they
appear. e.g. A running person makes a diagonal line with his body
and legs. The degree of action is shown by the angle of the
diagonal.
-
MAIN KINDS OF LINESCurved Lines- suggest movement, flexibility,
joyousness and grace. They are never harsh or stern since they are
formed by a gradual change in direction. Curved lines are concave,
convex, spiral and scroll. Curved Lines express movement in a
graceful , flowing wayCurved lines (such as scroll, S-lines)
express continuity. Spiral lines suggest fascination.

PERSPECTIVEPerspective deals with the effect of distance upon
the appearance of objects, by means of which the eye judges spatial
relationships. Kinds of perspective are aerial and linear. Aerial
perspective means that objects become fainter in the distance due
to the effect of the atmosphere. Linear perspective means that
objects become smaller as they recede into the distance.

SHAPE AND FORMEvery object- a cloud, a house, a pebble has a
shape. Shape is an element of art that refers to an area clearly
set off by one or more of the other elements of art. Shapes are
limited to two dimensions-length and width.
-
two classes of shapesGeometric shapes look as though they were
made with a ruler or drawing tool. The square, the circle, the
triangle, the rectangle, and the oval are the 5 basic geometric
shapes.Organic is called free form. Shapes are not regular by even.
Their outlines may be curved or angular, or they may be a
combination of both, to make free-form shapes. Organic shapes, such
as clouds and pebbles, are usually found in nature.
-
Organic Shapes
-
FormForm applies to the over all design of a work of art. Closed
form is when the elements of a painting are contained with in the
frame and lead the eyes back into the picture. Open form if facts
of figures are to cut of by frame and we feel that the action
extends out of the picture.
-
SPACE / VOLUMEAll objects take up space. Space is an element of
art that refers to the distance between, around, above, below, and
within things. In both two-and three-dimensional works of art, the
shapes or forms are called the positive area. The empty spaces
between the shapes are called negative spaces. Volume means
solidity or thickness. It refers to the amount of space occupied in
3 dimensions.
-
TEXTURETexture is an element of art that refers to the way
things feel, or look as though they might feel, if touched. It has
to do with the characteristics of surfaces which can be rough or
smooth, fine or coarse, shiny or dull, plain or irregular. It is
best appreciated when an object is felt with the hands.
-
METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSRealism is the attempt to
portray the subject as it is. It started in France in the mid
1800s. It is a style of art in which everyday scenes and events are
printed as they actually look. Realists render the exact details
and distortions of a particular object. The presentation and
organization of details in the art work seem natural.

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSAbstraction is a work in
which the artist used a recognizable subject that portrays it in an
unrealistic manner. Abstractionists used bright colors, varied
brushstrokes and designs with simplified or rearranged elements.
Ways:Distortion this is clearly manifested when the subject is in
misshapen condition.
Elongation it refers to that which is being lengthened, a
protraction or an extension.
Mangling this may not be a commonly used way of presenting an
abstract subject, but there are few artists who show subjects or
objects which are cut, lacerated, mutilated or hacked with repeated
blows.
Cubism it stresses abstract form thru the use of a cone,
cylinder, or sphere. It is style in which objects are shown from
severalangles at once. (founder Pablo Picasso)

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSSymbolism - is the symbol
of an image for a quality or an idea. It is a visible of something
invisible such as an idea or quality. It can be simply an emblem or
sign like: % to represent percent, a lion to represent courage, a
lamb to represent meekness.
-
METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSFauvism the first
important art movement of the 1900s. Henry Matisse led the
movement. He chose colors that communicate a joyous or happy mood.
The artists goal was to express their feelings through sharply
contrasting colors and heavy outlines. Most of the artists try to
paint pictures of comfort, joy and pleasure. They used extremely
bright colors. To a fauve, for example, a tree trunk need not be
brown but it could be red or other colors.

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTS Dadaism a protest
movement in the arts was formed in 1916 by a group of artists and
poets in Zurich, Switzerland. The dadaist reacted to what they
believed were outworn traditions in art and the evils they saw in
society. They tried to shock and provoke the writing, poetry,
recitals and art exhibitions. Much dada art was deliberately
chooses because it was nonsensical. Best known dadaist was the
French artist Marcel Duchamp. The name dada , French word meaning
hobby horse, was deliberately chosen because it was
nonsensical.

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSFuturism - it developed in
Italy. Futurist painters wanted their works to capture the speed
and force of modern industrial society. Subjects included
automobile, motorcycles, and railroad trains subject vitality of a
modern city. Subjects are related to fantasy, the future and rapid
changes in life. Futurist painters wanted their works to capture

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSSurrealism this movement
was developed in Paris in 1924 by the French poet Andre Breton.
Surrealism uses art as a weapon against the evils and restrictions
in society. It tries to reveal a new and higher reality that that
of daily life. Dream-like images are portrayed as if you could
actually see them. This movement (was influenced) emphasizes the
activities of the subconscious state of the mind.
-
METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSExpressionism a style that
emphasized the expression of innermost feelings. The expressionists
ignored the rules of art. They had the strength to experiment with,
to exaggerated to change, the proportions of figures. The artists
here use brilliant clashing colors and sharp, twisted shapes. Van
Gogh painted the Starry Night which depicts his violence and which
is the feature of expressionism.

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTSImpressionism- portrays
the effects pf experiences upon the consciousness of the artist and
the audience. The artist is characterized as one concerned more
with the technique of suggesting light and color to the picture
than with the subject matter. Leaders of this movement included
Claude Monet who portrayed landscapes depicting sunlight playing on
water. On the whole, the Impressionist shows features of vagueness
fleeting and transitory.

Activity 3 Drawing and ColoringStill Life Drawing Still Life
drawing means drawing the subjects that are not alive such as
tables, fruits, flower vase etc. Come up with a still life drawing
of a subject of your choice. Sketch the outlines first for harmony
and proportion then use crayons for color.
-
Module 11Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the learners must
be able to:Identify the principles of arts .Name the ways in which
drawing, painting and printmaking media are used in art.Explain the
basic methods of printmaking and sculpting.Sketch designs according
to subjects and methods.Undergo sculpting activities such as:
carving, modeling etc.
-
THE PRINCIPLES OF ARTProportion is the principle of art
concerned with the relationship of one part to another and to the
whole.The principle of proportion is not limited to size. Elements
such as color can be used in differing proportions to create
emphasis.
-
THE PRINCIPLES OF ARTMovement is the principle of art used to
create the look and feeling of action and to guide a viewers eye
throughout the work of art. Artists use the principle of movement
to lead the viewers eyes throughout the work.
-
MOVEMENT
-
THE PRINCIPLES OF ARTRhythm is the principle of art concerned
with repeating an element to make a work seem active to suggest
vibration.
Sometimes to create rhythm, an artist will repeat not just
elements but also the same exact objects over and over. When this
is done, a pattern is formed
-
RHYTHM
-
DRAWINGDrawing is the art of representing something by lines
mode on a surface or the process of portraying an art object.
If you have scribbled with a pen or pencil, you have used
drawing media. Pen, pencil, charcoal, and chalk are some of the
media used to draw. Artists used drawing for different purposes.
One is to create finished works of art.

Activity 1 Drawing and Coloring1. Face Sketch One subject of
interest for drawing and painting is a persons face. There are
different shapes of peoples faces. There are oval, round, square
and triangle too. Eve, the shape of the nose, the eyes, the mouth
differ also.Observe the faces of your family. Try to make a sketch
of the faces of your:fathermotherbrothersister Begin by drawing the

Painting Painting a process of applying pigment to a surface to
secure effects involving forms and colors. Pigments, Binder and
SolventBefore a painter begins a work, he or she chooses a type of
paint and an appropriate surface on which to work. Canvas, paper,
or fabric are three surface materials that painters use.
-
three basic parts of paintPigment is a finely ground colored
powder that gives every paint its color.Binder- is a liquid that
holds together the grains of pigment. The binder is what makes the
pigment stick to a surface.Solvent- is a material used to thin a
paints binder. The thickness or thinness of a paint depends on the
amount of solvent used. Turpentine is the solvent in
watercolors.
-
Painting MediaWatercolor. Watercolor as a medium is difficult to
handle because it is difficult to produce warm and rich tones but
it invites brilliance and a variety of hues. Simple and clear
spontaneity is its principal essence.Fresco. Fresco is painting on
a moist plaster surface with colors ground in water or a limewater
mixture. The colors dry into plaster, and the picture becomes a
part of the wall. Fresco must be done quickly because it is an
exacting medium- the moment the paint is applied to the surface, it
becomes an integral part of the wall.
-
Painting MediaTempera. Tempera paints are mineral pigments mixed
with egg yolk or egg white and ore. They are often used as binder
due to its film forming properties and rapid drying rate and
corrections are difficult to make. It is more deliberate and
technique than oil because it does not possess the flexibility of
oil.Pastel. It is a stick of dried paste made of pigment round with
chalk and compounded with gum water. Its colors are luminous, and
it is a very flexible medium.
-
Painting MediaEncaustic. This is one of the early mediums used
by the Egyptians for the painted portrait on mummy cases. This is
done by painting with wax colors fixed with heat. Painting with wax
produces luster and radiance in the subject making them appear at
their best in portraits.Oil.

PrintmakingPrintmaking is a technique in which an image from a
prepared surface is transferred into another surface such as paper
or fabric Printmaking Methods. There are four main methods of
making prints. These are:Relief printing the image to be printed is
raised from a background.Intaglio the images to be printed in
scratched or etch into a surface.
-
Intaglio: image is etched into the surface, smeared with ink
(which sticks in the recessed areas), and (using damp paper) put
through a press. The ink is transferred from the recessed areas to
the paper. Relief: Pretty much the opposite; the parts you don't
want are carved away, ink rolled on, and dry paper pressed onto it.
In layman's terms, it's a big stamp.
-
Inrelief printingthe image to be transferred to paper (or other
surface) is raised above the surface of theprinting plate. Ink is
applied to the raised surface then rolled or stamped onto the
substrate. The relief printing process is similar to using an
inkpad and stamp such as inrubberstamping.

IntaglioAmanda Fuller used watercolor in this spectacular use of
color and value to create a mood.Tina Edwards evokes the post
impressionist movement in this oil painting. Note the wonderful
expressions on the subjects.
-
In relief printmaking, the matrix is a block of wood or
linoleum. Using knives and gouges, the artist cuts away lines and
areas. When the artist rolls or dabs ink onto the block, the ink
adheres only to the surface, skipping over the cut-away areas.
Intaglio(from the Italian world to carve) might be considered the
reverse of relief printing. The matrix in intaglio is a thin plate
of metal (usually zinc or copper), plexiglass, or any other surface
in which a line can be engraved. Each intaglio process uses a
different method of creating permanent marks on the plate.
-
Etchingis the process of using strongacidormordantto cut into
the unprotected parts of a metalsurface to create a design
inintaglioin the metal (the original processin modern manufacturing
other chemicals may be used on other types of material). As
anintaglio method ofprintmaking, it is, along withengraving, the
most important technique forold master prints, and remains in wide
use today.
-
Printmaking MethodsLithography the art or process of printmaking
from a flat stone or metal plate. To make a lithograph, the artist
draws image to be printed on a line stone, zinc or aluminum slab
with a special greasy crayon.Screen-Printing the artist transfers
the design through various processes on a silk screen.

-
No, they are not all the same, except in the fact that they
areprintmaking processes. The processes and final effects are
totally different. 1)Relief printing: The design is cut into a
block of wood or linoleum, color is rolled over it, an remained
raised. The resulting image is reversed. 2) Lithography: The image
is drawn d the resulting image comes from the surfaces that on a
limestone slab (classically), the slab is treated so the drawn
parts attract ink and the rest doesn't, and it is sent through a
press. The resulting image is reversed, but is a true image of the
drawing on the slab.
-
3) Intaglio: This is sort of the opposite of relief printing:
the ink is pushed into the lines and pits and wiped off the surface
of the plate, and the resulting image comes from the ink in the
engraved or etched lines. The resulting image is reversed.
-
SCULPTURESculpture is art that is made to stand out in space. It
is the design & the construction of three-dimensional forms
representing natural objects or imaginary shapes. All sculpture is
of one of two types, freestanding or relief. Freestanding sculpture
is sculpture surrounded on all sides by space. It is meant to be
seen from all sides. Relief sculpture, on the other hand, is
sculpture only partly enclosed by space. It is flat along the back
and is meant to be viewed only from the front.

Activity 3 Sculpting1.Carving Carving is three-dimensional or
made of relief. It is three-dimensional when the finished work can
be seen from all angles. It is relief when it can be viewed on one
side only. Different materials for carving can be used such as
Perla soap, wax, big candle and soft wood.The subject for carving
are as varied as those for painting. It may be a simple house, a
shop, a fish, a fruit, a tooth, or a person. In carving, the object
is made by the process of cutting out or subtracting parts from the
material.

Materials:Perla Soap, knife and water colorsProcedure:Sketch the
object you wish to carve within the area of the soap (or other
materials). With a knife cut out the parts outside the design. If
properly cut, the shape of the design will be exactly like the
original shape. Find out which parts should be thinner or thicker.
Cut little by little to reduce the parts which should be made
smaller. As the cutting goes on, look at the figure from all angles
now and then.When the cutting is finished, smoothen the surface by
scraping it little by little with the knife or rub it with a piece
of cotton. The finished carving may be painted with watercolor or
paint.

Activity 3 SculptingModeling is an excellent means of
self-expression as well as of representation in three-dimensional
media. Materials:clay or soilProcedure:Take some clay . Flatten it
on the table. Roll the clay on flat surface until you form a coil.
Continue the coiling until the shape of the object can be
determined. Press and pinch the sides until the desired shape is
achieved Modeling

ARCHITECTUREArchitecture is the planning and creating of
buildings. The success of a work of it does the job it was meant to
do and partly by its appearance. Architecture is defined as the art
and science of designing and erecting buildings.

Uses of ArchitectureStructures for prayer. The building of
temples, churches, and other houses of worship dates to the dawn of
history.Structures for business. With the spread of civilization in
ancient times came the need for places to carry on business. In our
own time that need is often met by vertical creations such as
skyscrapers
-
Structures for prayerAccording to the Chinese media reports,
this is the world's tallest stupa. Stupas are Buddhist structures
that contain ancient religious relics. Usually they look more like
mounds, and are also very old. Though this particular stupa has
none of those two traits, it does house a very special Buddhist
relic: an actual finger bone to Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of
the religion.

Basic Construction TypesPost and Lintel consists of two vertical
posts for support (post) and a horizontal one (lintel). A better
known example of post-and-lintel construction is the Parthenon in
Athens, Greece. It was built about 454-438 B.B. as temple of the
goddess Athena Parthenon. The post-and-lintel is generally use d
for wooden buildings.Arch is an architectural form built from
pieces of wood called voussoirs with joints between them and are
arranged in a semi-circle . Since stone can stand great pressure
and is durable, this method is typical for stone construction. The
dome is an extension of the principle of arch.

square, rectangle, or octagon in a ceiling or vault.A series of
these sunken panels were used as decoration for a ceiling or a
vault, also called caissons, or lacunaria, while a coffered ceiling
was sometime called a lacunar.
-
ArchThe arch is probably on of the most important design
discoveries dealing with math. Its shape allows it to withstand a
massive amount of weight without crumbling. It must be meticulously
built in order to not fracture under stress. A lot of math is
involved.
-
Cantilever-is any structural part projecting horizontally and
anchored at one end only. This method of construction needs a beam
with a great strength that can be securely fastened at the
supported end. Steel is the best material here. Other materials
such as stone, wood and concrete can also be used.Architecture has
three main qualities: structure, texture and aspect. Structure-
determines how the structure reacts to the wind, floods, water,
movement etc. This is a reaction to stress. Texture has to do with
the roughness or smoothness of the material. This should blend with
the internal structure of the building. Aspect refers to particular
colors and outside skin after tooling.

the summit of Glyder Fach (994m - roughly translated from Welsh as
"Small pile of boulders") in the Snowdonia National Park, NW

ART CRITICISM
Art Criticism is studying, understanding, and judging work of
art.In carrying out their work, art critiques often use a four-step
system. The four steps are describing, analyzing, interpreting, and
judging.
-
Art Criticism
-
Describing the Work of Art To describe an artwork, the critic
must notes certain key facts. These includes the following:The size
of the work, the medium, and the process used. The credit line
gives the viewer information about the size of the work and the
medium used. It is also lists the process, such as serigraph or
woodcut.The subject, object, and details. The subject is the image
viewers can easily identify in an art of work. The subject answers
the question What do I see When I look at this work
-
Describing the Work of ArtThe elements used in the work. Line
and color are two of the elements of art that play an part of this
work.
In other words, the critic answers the questions Who? Where? and
When?.
-
Analyzing an Art WorkComposition is the key word in analyzing an
art work. When we say composition, it is the way the art principles
are used to organize the art elements of color, line, shape, for,
space and texture. Style must be considered also in analyzing an
art work. Style is an artists personal way of using the elements
and principles of art and expressing feelings and ideas in art. Two
questions can be asked by the critic here such as: What style did
the artist used? and Did the artist use the same style in other
works?
-
Interpreting an Art WorkThe critic must focus on the content in
interpreting an art work. Content is the message, idea or feeling
expressed by an art work. All critics may interpret an art work
differently according to their individual feelings. The
interpretation of an art work will be based on ones personal
experiences and opinions. In interpreting also, the critic needs to
determine how time and place may have affected the artists
style.
-
Judging an Art WorkTo judge an work is to tell whether the work
succeeds. The critic will answer the question Is this a successful
work of art? The critic needs to notes the arts place in history.
The critic decides whether the work and the artist of it make an
important contribution to art.
-

paintings in the world stems from the unknown identity of the
sitter and the fact that the artist is one of the most famous

The ScreamOne of the most famous paintings known to the world is
Edvard Munchs The Scream. This work of art was first created by
Munch in 1893 and was first titled, The Scream of Nature. Munch
went on to recreate a series of this painting however, using
different materials over the next 17 years. In 1895, Munch
recreated the painting in lithograph before repainting it again in
1910 with oil and pastels. The work has since found a place in our
culture, becoming almost as recognizable to the common person as,
perhaps, the Mona Lisa or Starry Night.The painting is popular
because of its stark, almost disturbing figure which is standing in
the middle of a road, hands clapped to its face, screaming. The sky
is a deep red and a body of water is in the background. Munch
recorded an incident in his diary in which he was walking with two
friends down a path and, as the sun was setting, the sky suddenly
turned a blood red and Munch suddenly felt a deep exhaustion, as if
he could feel an infinite scream passing through Nature. This
feeling, captured so acutely, became the painting which is now
known as The Scream. This painting helped to usher in works of art
which have more Expressionistic backgrounds, capturing the feeling
of the moment instead of the sights.

TheaterIt comes from a Greek word meaning thing done. It begins
in make believe, in the play acting of children and in the ritual
of primitive religion. When an actor appears on stage, he makes
believe he is someone other than himself, much as a child does,
much as primitive people will do. Thus, like play-acting and
ritual, drama creates its experiences by doing things than can be
heard and seen.The magic of theater is its ability to conjure up-
even such incredible characters, depends on the power of spectacle.
When we witness a play, our thoughts and feelings are provoked such
by the spectacle as by the words themselves.

The Elements of DramaDrama like prose fiction, utilizes plot and
character, develops a theme, arouses emotion or appeals to humor,
and may be either escapist or interpretative in its dealing with
life. Like poetry, it may draw upon all the resources of language,
including verse. Much drama is poetry, but drama has one
characteristic peculiar to itself. It is written primarily to be
performed, not read. It normally presents its action 1) through
actors, 2) on a stage, and 3) before an audience.Despite the
immense diversity of drama as a cultural activity, all plays have
certain elements in common. They are 1) plot, 2) character, 3)
thought, 4) language (dialogue), 5) theme, 6) climax/denouement, 7)
music and spectacle, 8) costume and make-up,9) scenery and
lighting.
-
The Elements of Drama1. Plot. It is the term sometimes used to
mean a summary of a plays story. It is concerned with what happens
in the story. 2. Character. The characters must be shaped to fit
with the needs of the plot, and all parts of the characterization
must fit together. In addition to understanding what the characters
are like, we should recognize each ones role in the story. The main
character, the person who is attempting to resolve the problem is
called the protagonist. The conflict he faces, frequently involves
a struggle with some force outside himself (external conflict) as
with an antagonist, and/or a struggle within himself (internal
conflict).
-
characters
-
The Elements of Drama3.Thought. Every play, even the most
lighthearted comedy, involves thoughts in its broadest sense. In
dramatic structure, thoughts include the ideas and emotions implied
by the overall meaning of the play, sometimes the theme. Not all
plays explore significant ideas, but every play makes some comments
on human experience either through direct statement or more
commonly by implication
-
The Elements of Drama4.Language (dialogue). Language is a means
of expressing the character and the thoughts dramatically; Language
in the theater refers to the dramatic dialogue, which may be in
prose or in verse. Prose dialogue may be naturalistic or
rhetorical. Naturalistic dialogue is the actual why people talk,
while the rhetorical dialogue is popularly described as high flown,
florid, oratorical. Verse dialogue makes used of the conventions of
poetry for the purpose of drama.`Dialogue is the conversation
between 2 or more characters in a play.
-
The Elements of Drama5. Theme. It is what a story means. It is a
conviction about the real world we live in, and it may be stated in
several ways. Theme tends to be complex, and may include
contradictory evaluations (Colwell, 1986).
-
The Elements of Drama6. Climax/Denouement. The climax is the
scene or incident that is the fruition of the accumulated suspense,
and that stirs the most intense feelings or emotions. It can also
be described as the turning point of the story. It is very likely
to be the most elaborately presented scene in the play. Denouement
is the working out of the plot, following the climax. In this final
part of the play, usually briefly but sometimes a full act, the
playwright brings the conflict to an end and explains how and why
every thing turned out the way it did.

The Elements of Drama7. Music and Spectacle. Aside from
background music, there is music or speech and of movements.
Spectacle intensifies emotions whatever these emotions are. In the
theater, the element of a spectacle heightens the atmosphere
whether of vitality or terror or sorrow.8. Costumes and Make-Up.
Every costume should be comfortable and securely put together so
the performer doesnt have to worry about it once it is on. Before
the dress rehearsal, all the parts of each costumes should be hung
together and tagged. A dressing crew from the costume committee
should be on hand to help.
-
Make-up
-
The Elements of Drama9. Scenery and Lighting. Scenery and
lighting, furniture-painted backdrops, or large props, should be
real. The scenery may be simple, for it is supposed only to suggest
the scene. Proper lighting can add a great deal to the realism of
the play. Consider brightness, color, and direction in lighting the
playIs the scene gay or mysterious? White, yellow, amber and pink
lights brighten the stage and are happy colors. Blue and green dull
the scene and produce a cold effect. Red and purple are
mysterious.
