The elements and principles of art and design are the foundation of the
language we use to talk about art. The _________ (mesetenl) of art is the visual tools
that the artist uses to create a composition. These are _____ (elni), shape, color,
value, form, ________ (rteuxte), and space.
3 CO_Q3_Arts8_Module1
The ___________ (pcinsiprel) of art represent how the artist uses the elements
of art to create an effect and to help convey the artist's intent. The principles of art
and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, __________ (atnerpt),
rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of these principles can help determine whether
a painting is successful, and whether or not the painting is finished.
The artist decides what principles of art he or she wants to use in a painting.
While an artist might not use all the principles of design in one piece, the principles
are intertwined and the use of one will often depend on another. For example, when
creating ___________ (psahsime), the artist might also be using contrast or vice
versa. It is generally agreed that a successful painting is __________ (indfuei), while
also having some ___________ (atveryi) created by areas of contrast and emphasis;
is visually ___________ (ndcalbae); and ________ (vmeso) the viewer's eye around the
composition. Thus, it is that one principle of art can influence the effect and impact
of another.

South Asia
Sculpture
final than anything presents in the merely transitory presence of human models,
individuality is almost completely suppressed in Indian sculpture. Sculpted Hindu
divinities' various heads and weapons were thought necessary to represent the gods'
several qualities of strength.

The stupa, which houses the tomb and/or relics of a holy person, is the most
distinctive type of Buddhist architecture. As a result, the stupa is a kind of shrine: a
sacred building dedicated to a particular person or deity. Shrines are a type of
temple, which is a general term for any structure dedicated to religious practice.

Painting
Manuscript painting is a
relatively new medium in South Asia,
dating back to the last centuries of the
Indian kingdom era; however, it was
not until the Islamic period (ca.1200-
1800) that this art form truly
flourished. This was mainly because
paper became widely available in
South Asia during the Islamic period.
Until then, manuscript painting has
been done on palm leaves, which
made for uncomfortable painting
surfaces (given their irregular shape,
size, and texture).

During special events such as weddings, temple rituals, and festivals, women create
more intricate patterns.
The women expect that the day will bring them peace, health, good luck, and
happiness by doing this regular rite. Rangoli, also known as a 'Sand Mandala,' is
known by many names in India, including Kolam, Alpana, Muggulu, and Rangavalli.
Rangoli is created for a specific occasion or moment. Its freshness, like that of a
flower, is fleeting. To the uninitiated, the Rangoli art's impermanence may seem to
be a candle in the sky. It is deleted until its function has been fulfilled, and the
ritual is performed with the same motive and passion.
West Asia
West Asia is the birthplace of arts produced in areas where Islam is the
prevalent culture. These works of art may be religious or secular, and they may
have been created by or by Muslims. These various art styles can be referred to as
"Islamic Art." In terms of material and visual features, many depictions of Islamic
art from traditional Islamic lands have a lot in common.

Biomorphic Art) is the commonly used pattern
by Islamic artist. This pattern uses leaves and
flowers and is commonly found in wooden
carvings, textiles, stone reliefs on buildings,
and decorated books.
The rhythmic waves that define the arabesque style also suggest an eternal
architecture with no beginning or end. The growth of leaves, trees, or other motifs
from one another rather than a single stem is one of the contributing factors to the
arabesque's endless pattern. Interlacing geometric and other decorative designs are
9 CO_Q3_Arts8_Module1
often used in Arabesque. The flora may have evoked themes of heaven, which is
represented as a garden in the Qur'an, while the geometry may have evoked the
diversity in the unity of God's creation or the complexity of mathematics in Islamic
lands.
Ornate ceramic, marble, plaster, and wood-carved friezes all have islimi as a
main architectural element. Islimi patterns can also be used on household items
like utensils, clothes, and carpets.
West Asia is rich in cultural heritage. This is evident in the variety of regional
arts and crafts lively and finely made by their creative hands. The movement and
rhythm in their artwork show their unique cultural identity.
Central Asia
Originated in Central
Asia, the art
was created by mainly Turkic
peoples of
modern Kyrgyzstan,
Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan,
Azerbaijan,
Tajikistan, Mongolia, Tibet,
Afghanistan,
Pakistan, and parts of China and Russia.
The present centuries of arts were mostly
influenced by Islamic art while the art of
China, Persia, and Greece, including the
animal style of nomadic people influenced
the earlier cultures. This folk art of
nomads can be immediately found as they

clothes, woven bags, rugs, ornate silver bridles, steps.

Shyrdak carpets have historically been among a Kyrgyz family's most valued
possessions. They are an essential part of a girl's dowry. The stitching— shyryk
(which gives birth to the term shyrdak)— is one of the most important features of
these carpets, since it increases the carpet's longevity. The stitching creates a
pattern within the felt by following the outline drawn on the carpet. A shyrdak is
around 1.5 meters by 3 meters in height, making it easy to handle.
