Lesson 5

What will I learn?

At the end of lesson 5, you should have:
a. identified the different kinds of lines.
b. drawn different lines.
c. interpreted the meaning of different lines.
d. patiently created art pieces using different lines.
Lesson Motivation
Look at the picture. What do
you see? Can you identify the different lines you see?
A line connects two points.
Its also the path made by a
moving point. Lines can be thick
or thin. They can be long or short.
They can be vertical, horizontal, or
diagonal. They can be solid or dotted or dashed but usually, lines can
be classified into twostraight lines and the curved lines.
Point 2

Point 1

24

A. Straight lines

Vertical lines

Horizontal lines
Diagonal or slant lines

Broken lines

Dotted lines

Zigzag lines

Generally straight lines suggest steadiness, balance, and

calmness.
Horizontal lines look like they are lying down, at rest, asleep.
They suggest calmness, quietness, and a relaxed comfort. A long
horizontal line gives peacefulness, while a short line tends to be
exciting.
Vertical lines are filled with potential energy that could be
released if they were to fall over just like the rain falling down.
Vertical lines are strong and rigid. They can suggest stability,
especially when thicker. It also symbolizes poise, force and
readiness for action.
Diagonal lines can appear to be either rising or falling and
convey action or motion. Diagonal lines suggest action, instability,
25

loss of control and independence. Diagonal lines are more

dramatic than either vertical or horizontal lines.
Broken lines connote movement or restlessness.
Zigzag lines are unpleasant and harsh. They create excitement
and intense movement. They convey confusion and nervousness as
they change direction quickly and frequently. They can imply danger
and destruction as they break down. They signify confusion
disturbance, battle or war.
B. Curved lines

Curved lines are softer than straight lines. They sweep and
turn gracefully between end points. They are less definite and
predictable than straight lines. They bend, they change direction.
Curved lines express fluid movement. They can be calm or dynamic
depending on how much they curve. The less active the curve the
calmer the feeling.
26

Activity 5.1
After knowing the different lines and their meaning, let us try
some activities. Imagine that today is the birthday of your mother.

Lesson 7

Paint with Colors

What will I learn?

At the end of lesson 7, you should have:
a. known the difference between primary and secondary colors.
b. known the importance of properties of colors
c. applied primary and secondary colors creatively in your artworks.

Lesson Motivation
Look around you. What do you see? Is everything presented
in black and white? Why do you think it is not? Imagine your
surroundings having no colors at allthe leaves, flowers, trees, even
the food you eat. Would you think it would be fun and happy seeing things black and white alone? Of course not! It would be a
horrible thing to think of.
Look at these pictures.
They both represent a
sunflower image.
However, which of these
pictures do you like
looking at? Most of
us will like the
sunflower showing its
real color. Why?
37

Things in the environment are beautiful because of the variety

of colors. Just like lines and shapes, different shades of color set
things apart from one another. Colors help us recognize the
difference of one object from the other.
Remember that in art, colors are very important. Because
color gives life to an art work. Colors are mainly classified into
primary and secondary. The primary colors are red, blue and
yellow. The secondary colors are orange, green and violet.
Look closely at the color plates below. Look at how orange,
green and violet formed.

Combining red and yellow will form orange. Combining red

and blue will form violet. Combining blue and yellow will form
green.
Color does not only give life to an artwork. Like lines, it also
interprets something. Green is the color of nature. It is believed
that green is healing for the eyes. When your eyes are strained from
reading, you feel tired, go out into the garden and look at the
38

green leaves. You feel that your eyes as well as your nerves will be
rested.
Violet or purple gives you peace of mind. Violet is associated
with imagination and inspiration. The lighter tints of violet
represents feminine qualities.
Orange is a power color. It symbolizes craving for food. Colors
have meaning too just like what we discussed in your previous year
studying about colors.
In addition to that, color has properties namely: Hue, Value
and Intensity.
Color Properties.
Properties
Hue is the basic name of the color. It is determined by
the dominant wavelength of the light.
Example: Red, yellow and blue are primary hues.
Orange, green and violet are secondary hues.

Low

High

Value is concerned with the light and dark properties of

colors. A color may be light, medium or dark. The
strongest available contrast in art is black to white.
Example: Pink is the light value of red and maroon is
its dark value.
Intensity or saturation is concerned with the brightness
and dullness of a color. Levels of intensity can make
a color stand out or be lost in the presence of other
colors. A color with high intensity is bright and a
color with low intensity is dull.

39

Activity 7.1
Learning about colors was really fun! Lets do some
activities. See the picture below? Color the picture with green.
Apply the value property of color.

40

Activity 7.2

Lesson 8

Mixing More Colors

What will I learn?

At the end of lesson 8, you should have:
a. added tertiary colors as another set of color groups
b. differentiated warm colors from cool colors
c. mixed and applied colors creating interesting art designs.
Lesson Motivation
Remember that in our previous lesson we learned that
combining two primary colors forms secondary colors. I know that
you would like to ask about the rest of the colors that you have and
you see whenever you buy a set of crayons at a local school supplies
store. More colors can be produced by blending equal amounts of
primary and secondary colors. The result is intermediate also
known as tertiary colors.
colors Study the color wheel below.
Primary Colors (inner colors)
yellow, red and blue

Secondary Colors (outer colors)

yellow + red = orange yellow + blue = green, red + blue =
violet

Tertiary Colors (outermost colors)

yellow+orange=yellow-orange, red+orange=red-orange,
red+violet=redviolet, blue+violet=blue-violet,
blue+green=blue-green, yellow+green=yellow-green

44

Look at the characters of the movie

Monsters Inc. Remember Sulley and his
buddy Mike? What is Sulleys color?
How about Mike?
Sulley is a blue-green monster and
Mike is a yellow-green monster. Why do
you think they have these colors? Since
color implies meaning it also sets mood, attracts attention or makes
a statement. You can use color to warm up, or to cool down.
Blue and green are cool colors. Since Sulley and Mike are
cartoon characters, they have to look cool even though theyre
monsters. Blue-green is the color of communication and associated
with dream works. Remember that Sulley appears only in
childrens dream!
Cool colors give an impression of calm and soothing
feeling. These colors are usually associated with grass, trees, water
and the sky.
Warm colors on the other hand are vivid
and energetic. Red and orange are warm colors.
They tend to make objects appear bigger and nearer
to the viewer.
Do you know Garfield? Garfield is
known as a lazy fat cat. Red-orange is his color
since he really needs to look bigger. These colors
are usually associated with the sun, coal and fire.
Neutral colors are black, gray, and white.
White is the absence of color. It signifies purity, joy, innocence and
surrender. Black is the presence of all colors. It expresses sorrow.
