Painting has changed in the last few decades,

through the power and creative ability of

computers. Computers can make you a better
artist. They can and do improve your skills as
an artist . Computers do not paint for you
more than a brush paints for you, but
computers provide you with digital
technologies that have become important in
this competitive area.
Most, if not all of today’s successful digital
painters started as beginners. They gained their
understanding of digital painting step-by step.
Like them, you can gradually edge your way
towards getting your own unique style before
becoming a master of craft. Digital painting is a
fun hobby, one that you will enjoy for years. You
can even make a living with digital painting.

Elements and Principles in Digital Art

This lesson was designed and written with you in mind. The scope of this lesson permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to identify the elements and principles
of arts and appreciates the elements and principles applied in digital art and appreciate
your artwork.
Elements of Arts
1. Line is a mark with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal;
straight or curved; thick or thin.
2. Shape is a closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares and circles; or organic, like
free-form or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and can express length and width.
3. Forms are three-dimensional shapes expressing length, width, and depth. Balls, cylinders,
boxes, and pyramids are forms.
4. Space is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called
negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real
space is three-dimensional; in visual art, when we create the feeling or illusion of depth, we
call it space.
5. Color is light reflected off objects. Color has three main characteristics: hue (the name of the
color, such as red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or
dull it is).
6. Texture is the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft
or hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look; for example, a drawing of a porcupine
may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth.
Principles of Arts
1. Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be
balanced to make a design feel stable.
2. Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with
other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.
3. Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines,
edges, shape, and color within the work of art.
4. Pattern and Repetition is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.
5. Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human
figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.
6. Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a
mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential.
7. Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of
art.
8. Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness.
