    Different Forms of Contemporary Arts

    1. Visual Arts and Design

    Visual design focuses on the aesthetics of a site and its related materials by strategically
    implementing images, colors, fonts, and other elements.

    2. Musical Instrument and Musical Composition

    A musical instrument is a device created or adapted to make musical sounds. In principle, any
    object that produces sound can be considered a musical instrument--it is through purpose that the object
    becomes a musical instrument. A person who plays a musical instrument is known as an instrumentalist.

    Musical composition can refer to an original piece or work of music.

    3. Choreography

    Choreography is the art or practice of designing sequences of movements of physical bodies in


    which motion or form or both are specified. Choreography may also refer to the design itself. A
    choreographer is one who creates choreographies by practicing the art of choreography, a process known
    as choreographing.

    4. Literacy

    Literacy in its broadest sense describes “particular ways of thinking about and doing reading and
    writing” with the purpose of understanding or expressing thoughts or ideas in written form in some
    specific context of use.

    5. Theatrical Performance

    Theatre is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performances, usually actors or
    actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place,
    often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of
    gesture, speech, song, music, and dance elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as
    lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience.

    6. Cinema
    Art cinema is often defined as an artistic or experimental work expressing symbolic meaning
    through the medium of film. It I ambiguous, aesthetically rich, complex, and sadly it’s often defined as
    commercially unfit for the mass audience.

    Visual Arts and its Effects

    Elements of Visual Design

    Elements of Visual Arts

    1. Line - is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in
    width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertically,
    or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.

    Examples of Line

    a. Horizontal - lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose because objects parallel to the earth are at rest. In
    this landscape, horizontal lines also help give a sense of space.
    b. Vertical - lines often communicate a sense of height because they are perpendicular to the earth,
    extending upwards toward the sky. In this church interior, vertical lines suggest spirituality, rising
    beyond human reach toward the heavens.
    c. Curve - Soft, shallow curves recall the curves of the human body and often have a pleasing, sensual
    quality and a softening effect on the composition.
    d. Diagonal - convey a feeling of movement. Objects in a diagonal position are unstable. Because they
    are neither vertical nor horizontal, they are either about to fall or are already in motion.
