    Teacher Pao introduces a Grade 10 art lesson focusing on Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night." Students are encouraged to describe, interpret, analyze, and judge the artwork. Emphasizing that there are no wrong answers, Pao explains design as a process for organizing visual elements, highlighting its integration and beauty through the principles present in Van Gogh's work, such as unity, variety, and balance.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The lesson explores the principles of design: unity and variety, balance, contrast, and emphasis and subordination, using various art examples. Unity and variety are compared to choral harmony, while symmetrical and asymmetrical balance are shown through artwork. Emphasis is about guiding focus in art, using Turner's painting to demonstrate, and contrast involves juxtaposing dissimilar elements to avoid monotony.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Repetition and rhythm are discussed as elements that create unity and flow in art, exemplified in Buddhist mandalas. Scale and proportion are important in art planning, as shown by Jose Clemente Orozco's work. The elements of art are introduced: line, shape, space, value, color, texture, and perspective, each with detailed explanations and examples, emphasizing their role in visual communication.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:24:15

    The video concludes with the art elements of space, value, color, texture, and perspective, detailing their definitions and applications in art. Space includes positive and negative space; value covers lightness and darkness; color addresses hue, value, and intensity; and texture differentiates simulated and actual textures. The video ends with a quiz on these elements, a homework assignment, and encouraging students to create art from the heart.

  • 00:00:55
    now before we begin with our lesson
  • 00:00:57
    let's try to analyze
  • 00:00:58
    an artwork created by the famous artist
  • 00:01:02
    vincent van gogh i'm sure you've heard
  • 00:01:05
    of that name before
  • 00:01:07
    his paintings and drawings include some
  • 00:01:09
    of the world's
  • 00:01:10
    most popular and most expensive pieces
  • 00:01:14
    but even though his works are considered
  • 00:01:16
    as classic
  • 00:01:18
    they are also used as a reference in pop
  • 00:01:20
    culture
  • 00:01:21
    a lot of times take a look at this
  • 00:01:25
    painting over here
  • 00:01:27
    this is the artwork that we will analyze
  • 00:01:32
    i'm sure you have seen this artwork
  • 00:01:34
    before
  • 00:01:35
    on a t-shirt maybe on a mural
  • 00:01:40
    on a bag basically we see
  • 00:01:43
    this everywhere but do you know the
  • 00:01:46
    title
  • 00:01:48
    yes it's starry night by none other than
  • 00:01:51
    vincent van gogh let's start analyzing
  • 00:01:55
    this iconic
  • 00:01:56
    artwork you can write down your answers
  • 00:01:59
    on your notebook
  • 00:02:00
    or just simply state your answers as i
  • 00:02:03
    ask the questions
  • 00:02:05
    let's begin with a description of this
  • 00:02:08
    artwork
  • 00:02:09
    what are the things that you see in the
  • 00:02:11
    artwork
  • 00:02:12
    describe each of those things
  • 00:02:27
    now on to interpretation what do you
  • 00:02:30
    think
  • 00:02:30
    van gaal wanted to imply in his artwork
  • 00:02:34
    is the title starring knight appropriate
  • 00:02:36
    for the image
  • 00:02:38
    why do you think so
  • 00:02:52
    for analysis based on your prior
  • 00:02:55
    knowledge from the past
  • 00:02:56
    grade levels what do you think are the
  • 00:02:59
    elements of
  • 00:02:59
    art used in this artwork
  • 00:03:15
    last one is judgment is this piece of
  • 00:03:19
    artwork worthy of appreciation
  • 00:03:22
    why or why not
  • 00:03:38
    no there is no right or wrong answers
  • 00:03:40
    here
  • 00:03:41
    i'm sure you've given a lot of
  • 00:03:43
    interesting observations on the starry
  • 00:03:46
    night
  • 00:03:47
    good job everyone the word design
  • 00:03:50
    indicates both the process of organizing
  • 00:03:54
    visual elements and the product of that
  • 00:03:57
    process
  • 00:03:58
    it is a result of our basic need for
  • 00:04:01
    meaningful
  • 00:04:02
    order some designs are so well
  • 00:04:05
    integrated that they
  • 00:04:06
    have qualities beyond a mere sum of
  • 00:04:09
    their parts
  • 00:04:11
    such are said to be beautiful
  • 00:04:14
    interesting absorbing
  • 00:04:17
    or surprising art and beauty
  • 00:04:22
    can be expressed in many ways in natural
  • 00:04:25
    beauty
  • 00:04:26
    of huge old trees or in the created
  • 00:04:29
    beauty of a painting of those trees
  • 00:04:32
    like in the case of van gogh's large
  • 00:04:34
    plain trees
  • 00:04:36
    [Music]
  • 00:04:37
    depicted in his paintings are the
  • 00:04:40
    principles of design
  • 00:04:42
    that made his work beautiful fascinating
  • 00:04:45
    and expressive so what are these
  • 00:04:48
    principles of design
  • 00:04:51
    we have six of them unity and variety
  • 00:04:55
    balance emphasis in subordination
  • 00:05:00
    contrast repetition and rhythm
  • 00:05:04
    and scale and proportion
  • 00:05:10
    let's discuss the first principle of
  • 00:05:13
    design
  • 00:05:14
    unity in variety look at it this way
  • 00:05:18
    when you watch a chorale performance
  • 00:05:21
    there are various types of voices we
  • 00:05:23
    hear
  • 00:05:24
    soprano tenor alto
  • 00:05:28
    and others but when we listen to them
  • 00:05:30
    singing all together
  • 00:05:32
    there is harmony different voices
  • 00:05:36
    but they are one that's a perfect
  • 00:05:39
    example of unity unity in art
  • 00:05:43
    refers to the appearance or condition of
  • 00:05:46
    oneness of an artwork all the elements
  • 00:05:50
    such as lime color
  • 00:05:53
    texture and others belong together
  • 00:05:56
    that result in having a coherent and
  • 00:05:59
    harmonious whole
  • 00:06:01
    as variety provides diversity yet
  • 00:06:04
    it acts as a counter balance to the
  • 00:06:07
    extreme
  • 00:06:08
    unity look at these examples from jacob
  • 00:06:12
    lawrence
  • 00:06:13
    what do you notice each artwork has
  • 00:06:17
    plenty of colors mixed up as well
  • 00:06:20
    as patterns but it all looks cohesive
  • 00:06:24
    the visual themes were established with
  • 00:06:26
    the use of
  • 00:06:27
    lines shapes and colors
  • 00:06:31
    the many figures and the objects and the
  • 00:06:35
    complex compositions of
  • 00:06:36
    lawrence formed a unified design through
  • 00:06:40
    the artist's skillful
  • 00:06:41
    use of abstraction theme and variation
  • 00:06:46
    next is balance when you're riding a
  • 00:06:49
    bike
  • 00:06:50
    balance is the key element to keep you
  • 00:06:53
    moving
  • 00:06:54
    and to avoid accidents in art
  • 00:06:57
    balance is the condition in which acting
  • 00:07:00
    influences are held in check
  • 00:07:03
    by opposing forces or what is in the
  • 00:07:05
    left side
  • 00:07:07
    should appear on the right side also in
  • 00:07:10
    order to achieve
  • 00:07:11
    equilibrium the near or exact matching
  • 00:07:15
    of left and right sides of the
  • 00:07:17
    three-dimensional form
  • 00:07:18
    or a two-dimensional composition is
  • 00:07:21
    called
  • 00:07:22
    symmetrical balance the two sides
  • 00:07:25
    which are not the same is asymmetrical
  • 00:07:29
    balance
  • 00:07:30
    look at these examples in this image
  • 00:07:34
    you can see all the sides are in an
  • 00:07:36
    exact
  • 00:07:37
    match this has symmetrical balance
  • 00:07:42
    well in this one you can see that both
  • 00:07:45
    sides are not the same therefore
  • 00:07:48
    this one has asymmetrical balance
  • 00:07:52
    symmetrical balance can be seen on the
  • 00:07:55
    wheels of the chariot
  • 00:07:56
    in giacometti's work in bronze where
  • 00:07:59
    there is
  • 00:08:00
    a slim figure that serves as a vertical
  • 00:08:03
    line
  • 00:08:03
    attached on an elevation on the other
  • 00:08:07
    hand
  • 00:08:07
    in haranobu's figure on a wood block
  • 00:08:10
    print
  • 00:08:11
    asymmetrical balance was achieved with
  • 00:08:14
    one figure
  • 00:08:14
    sitting and the other standing
  • 00:08:19
    third is emphasis in subordination
  • 00:08:22
    when we are telling a story to other
  • 00:08:25
    people
  • 00:08:26
    we tend to give emphasis on the key
  • 00:08:28
    parts of our story
  • 00:08:30
    that way the listeners will focus on the
  • 00:08:33
    important information
  • 00:08:36
    when it comes to word to draw our
  • 00:08:38
    attention to an area or areas
  • 00:08:42
    the artist uses emphasis to create
  • 00:08:45
    emphasis position contrast
  • 00:08:48
    color intensity and size can all be used
  • 00:08:53
    neutral areas of lesser interest are
  • 00:08:55
    created by the artist through
  • 00:08:57
    subordination
  • 00:08:59
    to keep us from being distracted from
  • 00:09:01
    the areas of emphasis
  • 00:09:04
    in other words the artist wants us to
  • 00:09:06
    focus on a certain
  • 00:09:08
    area in the image just like in this
  • 00:09:11
    artwork
  • 00:09:12
    of joseph mallard william turner
  • 00:09:15
    entitled
  • 00:09:15
    yacht approaching the coast he wants to
  • 00:09:19
    draw our
  • 00:09:19
    attention to the yacht because it is the
  • 00:09:22
    main subject
  • 00:09:23
    of the image that's why there were more
  • 00:09:27
    details on that area of the painting
  • 00:09:31
    next one is contrast the juxtaposition
  • 00:09:34
    of strongly dissimilar elements is
  • 00:09:37
    called
  • 00:09:38
    contrast dark set against light
  • 00:09:42
    large against small bright colors
  • 00:09:45
    against
  • 00:09:46
    doll are examples of contrasts
  • 00:09:50
    visual experience becomes monotonous
  • 00:09:52
    without contrast
  • 00:09:54
    contrast can be seen also in the thick
  • 00:09:58
    and thin areas of a single brush stroke
  • 00:10:02
    and this luster painted bowl is a
  • 00:10:05
    perfect
  • 00:10:06
    example of that
  • 00:10:09
    then we have repetition in rhythm when
  • 00:10:12
    we listen to music
  • 00:10:14
    we tend to remember the songs which have
  • 00:10:17
    repetitive lyrics in melody
  • 00:10:20
    in art the repetition of visual elements
  • 00:10:24
    gives a composition of unity
  • 00:10:27
    continuity flow and emphasis
  • 00:10:31
    rhythm is not only found in music
  • 00:10:34
    rhythm in the visual art is created
  • 00:10:37
    through the regular recurrence of
  • 00:10:39
    elements with related variations
  • 00:10:42
    not an exact copy but with uncanny
  • 00:10:46
    similarity to one another just
  • 00:10:49
    as in this buddhist mandala called the
  • 00:10:52
    womb
  • 00:10:52
    realm from the 9th century the pattern
  • 00:10:56
    emphasizes the unity of purpose shared
  • 00:11:00
    by these
  • 00:11:00
    thousands of figures each on embodiment
  • 00:11:04
    of the ideal of compassion
  • 00:11:08
    the last principle is scale and
  • 00:11:10
    proportion
  • 00:11:11
    when you're writing an essay you have to
  • 00:11:14
    make sure that the idea of each
  • 00:11:16
    paragraph
  • 00:11:17
    is somehow connected to the other
  • 00:11:19
    paragraphs in the essay
  • 00:11:22
    that's also how it is in art scale
  • 00:11:25
    is the relation of one thing to another
  • 00:11:29
    it is one of the first decisions on
  • 00:11:31
    artist mix
  • 00:11:32
    when planning a work of art proportion
  • 00:11:35
    is the size relationship of parts to
  • 00:11:38
    a whole look at this artwork from jose
  • 00:11:41
    clemente
  • 00:11:42
    orozco the artist made sure that the
  • 00:11:45
    size relationship
  • 00:11:46
    of the different elements in the image
  • 00:11:48
    is proportioned to one another
  • 00:11:51
    speaking of elements that is the next
  • 00:11:55
    topic that we
  • 00:11:56
    are going to talk about the elements
  • 00:11:59
    of art the elements of art
  • 00:12:02
    are its qualities or properties
  • 00:12:05
    and these seven elements are
  • 00:12:08
    line shape
  • 00:12:11
    space value color
  • 00:12:15
    texture and perspective
  • 00:12:19
    let's discuss each one starting with
  • 00:12:21
    line
  • 00:12:22
    line is our basic means for recording
  • 00:12:26
    and symbolizing ideas observations
  • 00:12:29
    and feelings it is a primary means of
  • 00:12:32
    visual communication
  • 00:12:34
    lines always have direction they are
  • 00:12:37
    always
  • 00:12:38
    active lines have different variations
  • 00:12:42
    and these are the following actual line
  • 00:12:50
    implied line and implied curved line
  • 00:12:56
    actual straight line and implied curved
  • 00:12:58
    line
  • 00:13:02
    line created by an edge
  • 00:13:08
    vertical line or attitude of alert
  • 00:13:11
    attention
  • 00:13:12
    horizontal line or attitude of rest
  • 00:13:16
    diagonal lines or slow action and fast
  • 00:13:19
    action
  • 00:13:21
    sharp jagged lines
  • 00:13:25
    dance of curving lines
  • 00:13:29
    hard line and soft line
  • 00:13:32
    ragged irregular line
  • 00:13:37
    the second element is shape shape refers
  • 00:13:41
    to the expanse within the outline of a
  • 00:13:43
    two-dimensional
  • 00:13:44
    area or within the outer boundaries of a
  • 00:13:47
    three-dimensional
  • 00:13:48
    object it may be geometric
  • 00:13:51
    which tends to be precise or regular
  • 00:13:55
    like circles triangles squares
  • 00:13:59
    just like this tablet it's a rectangle
  • 00:14:03
    or this compact powder which is a
  • 00:14:06
    perfect circle
  • 00:14:09
    on the other hand organic shapes are
  • 00:14:11
    irregular
  • 00:14:12
    often curving or rounded and seem
  • 00:14:15
    relaxed
  • 00:14:16
    and more informal most common shapes in
  • 00:14:20
    human-made world are geometric while
  • 00:14:23
    most shapes in nature are organic
  • 00:14:26
    just like this thief we cannot really
  • 00:14:29
    tell what shape
  • 00:14:30
    this is can we moving on mass is a
  • 00:14:33
    physical bulk
  • 00:14:34
    of a solid body material and it has a
  • 00:14:37
    three-dimensional
  • 00:14:38
    area this example from henry moore
  • 00:14:41
    is considered as mass in three dimension
  • 00:14:45
    since it is a sculpture well this one
  • 00:14:48
    from pablo picasso
  • 00:14:49
    is mass in two dimension because it's on
  • 00:14:52
    paper
  • 00:14:53
    third element is space
  • 00:14:57
    space in a work of art refers to a
  • 00:14:59
    feeling of
  • 00:15:00
    depth or three dimensions it can also
  • 00:15:04
    refer to the artist's use
  • 00:15:05
    of the area within the picture plane
  • 00:15:08
    the area around the primary objects in a
  • 00:15:11
    work of
  • 00:15:12
    art is known as negative space
  • 00:15:15
    while the space occupied by the primary
  • 00:15:18
    objects is known as
  • 00:15:20
    positive space these are the diagrams of
  • 00:15:24
    clues to spatial depth in
  • 00:15:26
    two-dimensional surface
  • 00:15:28
    overlap overlap and diminishing size
  • 00:15:33
    vertical placement
  • 00:15:36
    overlap vertical placement and
  • 00:15:39
    diminishing size
  • 00:15:41
    the next element is value value refers
  • 00:15:45
    to the lightness
  • 00:15:46
    and darkness of surfaces it ranges from
  • 00:15:50
    white
  • 00:15:50
    to various grays to black it can be a
  • 00:15:54
    property of color or an
  • 00:15:56
    element independent color chiaroscuro
  • 00:15:59
    is the use of radiations of light and
  • 00:16:02
    shade
  • 00:16:03
    in which the forms are revealed by the
  • 00:16:06
    subtle shifting from light
  • 00:16:08
    to dark areas this technique was
  • 00:16:11
    developed
  • 00:16:11
    during the renaissance period to create
  • 00:16:14
    illusion
  • 00:16:15
    that figures and objects depicted on a
  • 00:16:18
    flat surface
  • 00:16:19
    appear as they do in the natural light
  • 00:16:22
    conditions
  • 00:16:24
    color is the fifth element it is a
  • 00:16:27
    component of
  • 00:16:28
    light affects us directly by modifying
  • 00:16:31
    our thoughts
  • 00:16:33
    moods actions and even our health
  • 00:16:36
    color exists only in light
  • 00:16:39
    but light itself seems colorless to the
  • 00:16:42
    human eye
  • 00:16:44
    the so-called color is the effect
  • 00:16:47
    on our eyes of light waves of differing
  • 00:16:50
    wavelengths or frequencies
  • 00:16:54
    color has three properties first one is
  • 00:16:57
    hue
  • 00:16:58
    which includes primary hues like red
  • 00:17:02
    yellow and blue
  • 00:17:05
    secondary hues consist of orange
  • 00:17:08
    green and violet while the intermittent
  • 00:17:12
    hues are located between the primary and
  • 00:17:15
    the secondary hues
  • 00:17:16
    of which they are composed
  • 00:17:21
    second color property is value which
  • 00:17:24
    refers to the relative lightness
  • 00:17:26
    in darkness from white through grace and
  • 00:17:30
    black
  • 00:17:33
    third and last property of color is
  • 00:17:36
    intensity also called a saturation
  • 00:17:40
    it refers to the purity of a hue or
  • 00:17:43
    color the pure hue is the most intense
  • 00:17:47
    form of a given color the hue at its
  • 00:17:50
    highest saturation
  • 00:17:52
    and the hue in its brightest form
  • 00:17:56
    the sixth element of art is called
  • 00:17:59
    texture
  • 00:18:00
    the textile qualities of surfaces or to
  • 00:18:03
    the visual representation of those
  • 00:18:05
    qualities
  • 00:18:06
    is referred to as texture in visual arts
  • 00:18:10
    actual textures are those we can feel by
  • 00:18:13
    touching
  • 00:18:15
    simulated textures are those created to
  • 00:18:17
    look like
  • 00:18:18
    something other than plain on a plain
  • 00:18:20
    flat
  • 00:18:21
    surface painters stimulate texture
  • 00:18:25
    while sculptors and architects make use
  • 00:18:28
    of
  • 00:18:28
    actual texture the last
  • 00:18:31
    element is perspective perspective
  • 00:18:35
    is point of view in visual arts
  • 00:18:38
    it can refer to any means of
  • 00:18:40
    representing
  • 00:18:41
    three-dimensional objects in space on a
  • 00:18:44
    two-dimensional surface
  • 00:18:46
    meaning a flat surface it is a system
  • 00:18:49
    designed to depict the way objects in
  • 00:18:53
    space
  • 00:18:53
    appear to the eye in linear perspective
  • 00:18:57
    objects appear smaller at a distance
  • 00:19:00
    because
  • 00:19:01
    parallel lines appear to converge as
  • 00:19:04
    they recede into the distance
  • 00:19:06
    and the last meeting of the lines on the
  • 00:19:08
    horizon
  • 00:19:09
    is called the vanishing point
  • 00:19:13
    now that you've learned the principles
  • 00:19:14
    of design and refresh your memory about
  • 00:19:18
    the elements of
  • 00:19:19
    art let's check how far you've done with
  • 00:19:22
    it
  • 00:19:22
    get a pen and a piece of paper and let's
  • 00:19:25
    do an activity
  • 00:19:27
    i want you to evaluate the following
  • 00:19:29
    designs and try to see
  • 00:19:31
    what elements of art are applied you
  • 00:19:34
    have five
  • 00:19:35
    seconds to write down your answers ready
  • 00:19:39
    here's the first image

  • 00:20:08
    number three
  • 00:20:18
    all right what's the answer yes
  • 00:20:21
    it's color
  • 00:20:24
    number four
  • 00:20:34
    time is up the answer is
  • 00:20:37
    texture number five
  • 00:20:49
    the answer is line
  • 00:20:53
    number six
  • 00:21:03
    the correct answer is perspective
  • 00:21:07
    last number number seven
  • 00:21:18
    if the answer is texture
  • 00:21:21
    great job everyone i hope you all had
  • 00:21:24
    fun
  • 00:21:25
    while learning today but before we part

    will find an activity entitled
  • 00:21:40
    let's take more you will see this
  • 00:21:43
    picture
  • 00:21:44
    there and you will have to copy the
  • 00:21:46
    design
  • 00:21:47
    and draw it on a piece of paper using a
  • 00:21:50
    pencil
  • 00:21:52
    that's it for today don't forget to
  • 00:21:54
    explore your creativity
  • 00:21:57
    and remember to create art from the
  • 00:22:00
    heart
  • 00:22:01
