This is the Arts Grade 7 self-learning module for Quarter 1, Module 4: Arts and Crafts of Luzon, focusing on the principles of art (balance, emphasis, rhythm, unity and variety, movement, scale and proportion). It was made by DepEd MIMAROPA Region as an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) module (First Edition, 2020) for learners studying at home. After working through it, learners can define the principles of art and spot them in famous architecture, sculpture, and everyday objects from the highlands and lowlands of Luzon.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module states that learners will be able to:
- define the different principles of art;
- distinguish the principles of art used in the arts and crafts of Luzon (highlands and lowlands) by analyzing how the principles were used; and
- appreciate the importance of the principles of art built into a design.
The learning competencies printed in Lesson 1 are:
- Analyzes elements and principles of art in the production of one’s arts and crafts inspired by the arts of Luzon (highlands and lowlands) (A7EL-Ib-1)
- Reflects on or derives the mood, idea, or message emanating from selected artifacts or art objects (A7PL-IH-1)
Arts and crafts of Luzon featured in the module
The module opens by naming works that show Filipino skill in architecture, sculpture, and everyday objects: Calle Crisologo of Ilocos, Tumauini Church of Isabela, the Spanish Gate and Andres Apostol Parish Church of Zambales, the Parish of the Three Kings of Nueva Ecija, Abucay Church (Saint Dominic de Guzman Parish Church), the Bul’ul of Ifugao, woodcarving of Laguna, the Higantes of Rizal Province, and the Balisong of Batangas. The activities also use Meycauayan, Bulacan jewelry, Inabel fabric, amulets, the Spanish Gate, and Burda (embroidery).
The principles of art: a quick review
The module explains that the principles of art show how artists use the elements of art (line, shape, form, value, color, texture, and space) to create an effect and express what they mean. Here are its definitions and examples:
| Principle | What it means | Module’s example |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern | Elements arranged in an alternating or repeating form or sequence | Two briefcases and two lips repeated in turn |
| Balance | Elements arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically to give a feeling of stability or equal weight | One big rectangle balanced by six small ones |
| Symmetrical balance | One side mirrors the other | A lung shape |
| Asymmetrical balance | One side does not reflect the design of the other | A fingerprint |
| Radial balance | Balance based on a circle, with the design extending from the center | Fireworks |
| Emphasis | The focal point; the part that stands out most | One blue owl among gray birds |
| Contrast | A large difference between elements that creates visual interest | Light and dark happy faces; rough and smooth stones |
| Rhythm and movement | Repeated elements that lead the eye and give a feeling of motion | Spiraling clouds and trees |
| Harmony | How well all the visual elements work together as a whole | Bugs, gears, webs, and arrows arranged together |
| Unity | All elements and principles working together to make a pleasing image | Stars of different sizes grouped together |
| Variety | Using different elements and changes to add visual interest | A portrait over woven patterns and a color wheel |
| Scale | The relationship between images in size, amount, or visual weight | A large crab and a small crab |
How the principles appear in Luzon art
Calle Crisologo, Vigan
The module describes Vigan’s narrow cobblestone street, with red-tiled roofs, thick walls, huge doors, and sliding capiz shell windows. In the “Artist Perspective” part, it points out:
- Pattern and scale in cobblestones of different sizes laid in a repeating sequence
- Pattern, balance, and unity in the columns and doors, with rhythm and movement seen from a perspective view
- Contrast in capiz shells, some plain and some dark
- Variety in the different wall decorations that make each house unique
- Overall harmony that makes the street lovelier and more famous
Meycauayan, Bulacan jewelry
Meycauayan jewelry smiths use patterns, scale, and balance, and they combine gold, silver, pearls, and precious and semi-precious stones for variety. Gemstones create emphasis, and rope and chain designs show movement and rhythm.
How to use this module
The module follows the usual self-learning module order:
- What I Know: a 15-item matching pretest (descriptions to principles of art).
- What’s New: “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Fairest of them All?” Learners draw their own face from a mirror, then check whether their eyes, ears, and eyebrows are balanced.
- What is It: the Calle Crisologo and Meycauayan jewelry discussions, each with a “Stop! Look and Observe!” activity where learners write how each work shows pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, scale, harmony, rhythm/movement, unity, and variety.
- What’s More: a chart analyzing the principles in Inabel, amulets, the Spanish Gate, and Burda, followed by light-bulb prompts where learners write their own ideas of each principle.
- What I Have Learned: a written reflection.
- What I Can Do: “Tara na! Biyahe na Tayo!” (Come on, let’s travel!). Learners make a poster ad promoting tourism and the arts and crafts of Luzon, showing how the principles were used. A sample poster about the burnay (unglazed earthen jar) of Vigan is included.
- Assessment: a 15-item matching post-test.
- Additional Activities: a chart on the mood, idea, and message of an artifact, plus a reflection.
For learners: Write all answers in your activity notebook or on a separate sheet, not on the module. Take a photo of your poster and send it to your facilitator through Messenger, e-mail, or another platform.
For parents: An answer key for the pretest and post-test is at the back. Help your child use it honestly, after answering.
For teachers: The poster is scored with a rubric on creativity, attractiveness and craftsmanship, and timeliness (10, 8, 6, or 4 points each), with points lowered for each day the work is late.

What I Need to Know
The skills of Filipinos in architecture and sculpture are uniquely incomparable. Every detail of the design is truly amazing and extraordinary. Even decades would pass, it will still stand and stay worthy of being built and created.
Filipinos in the regions of Luzon are proud to show their work of arts in their everyday objects, architecture, and sculpture like Calle Crisologo of Ilocos, Tumauini Church of Isabela, Spanish Gate and Andres Apostol Parish Church of Zambales, Parish of the Three Kings of Nueva Ecija, Abucay Church or the Saint Dominic De Guzman Parish Church, Bul’ul of Ifugao, Woodcarving of Laguna, Higantes of Rizal Province, and Balisong of Batangas.
In this module, we will focus on the principles of art used in Luzon’s architecture, sculpture, and everyday object. You will learn the elements of arts like line, shape, form, value, color, texture, and space as well as the differences among these elements and how to express it in an artwork.
We may say that a masterpiece is perfect or not and that we can judge it even in a simple glance. However, can you notice at once, every single detail of it? Did you pay attention to the execution of balance, emphasis, rhythm, unity and variety, movement, scale and proportion?
In your past lessons when you were in elementary, you have learned about the principles of arts (balance, emphasis, rhythm, unity and variety, movement, scale and proportion).
The principles of art represent how the artists use the elements of art to create an effect to the design and to help convey the artist’s intent.
Let us have a short review about the principles of art.
PATTERN
PATTERN refers to the visual arrangement of elements (line, shape, color, etc…) that is alternated or with a repetitive form or sequence.
[illustration: two briefcases and two lips repeated in alternating sequence]
Illustration of pattern
The illustration shows that there are alternated and repetitive form or sequence of two briefcases and two lips.
BALANCE
BALANCE is the way the elements are arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically to create a feeling of stability or impression of equality in weight in an artwork.
[illustration: one big gray rectangle on the left and a group of six small gray rectangles on the right]
Illustration of balance
You can see in the illustration that there is a big rectangle on the left side and a group of six small rectangles on the right side. You will notice that the size of a big rectangle on the left is equal to the size of the grouped small rectangles on the right.
Symmetrical Balance
An artwork illustrates symmetrical balance when the parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other.
This is an image of a lung. You will notice that the left side of the lung mirrors the right side of the lung.
[illustration: black lung shape with a vertical gray line through the center, symmetrical on both sides]
Illustration of symmetrical balance
Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical balance is illustrated in an artwork when one side of a composition does not reflect the design of the other.
[illustration: fingerprint with a vertical gray line through the center]
Illustration of asymmetrical balance
You can see in the illustration the image of a finger print. You will notice that the left side of the finger print does not mirror its right side because they have different designs.
Radial Balance
Radial balance is any type of balance based on a circle with its design extending from center.
[illustration: black background with white fireworks bursting outward from the center]
Illustration of radial balance
You can see in the illustration the image of fireworks. You will notice that the fireworks start with a single spark at the beginning and then it continuously sparks creating an extending design from the center.
EMPHASIS
Emphasis shows the focal point of an image or when one area or thing stands out the most and gets a special attention.
[illustration: rows of gray birds with one blue owl at the middle]
Illustration of Emphasis
This illustration shows the group of red birds and a blue owl at the middle. It is clear that the blue owl stands out the most because of its difference. Emphasis can be achieved through color, contrast, location or placement of elements, size, repetition and etc. that makes an image as the focal point of the design.
CONTRAST
Contrast has a large difference among different elements of designs that create visual interest. It is a comparison of different elements of design in order to highlight their differences.
You can see on the illustration the two happy face icons that show contrast using dark and light values. The first happy face icon uses white color as a base then uses black color to highlight the circumference of the face, eyes and mouth while the second happy face icon uses black as a base and uses white to highlight the eyes and mouth.
[illustration: two happy face icons, the first white with a black outline, the second solid black with white features]
Illustration of Contrast
[illustration: two stones, one dark and smooth on the left, one lighter and rough on the right]
Illustration of Texture
Now look at the second illustration of two stones. Can you see the difference? They are different in terms of texture (rough and smooth).
RHYTHM and MOVEMENT
Rhythm and movement is a repetition of elements that focuses the eye of the viewers direct to the image that produce the look and feel of movement.
Look at the illustration on the right. You can see that the clouds make your eyes follow its spiral movement that gives the illusion to move. Now look at the trees. Can you see the movement?
[illustration: gray landscape with spiraling clouds above wavy ground and tree shapes]
Illustration of Rhythm and Movement
HARMONY
HARMONY refers to the arrangement of elements that give the viewer the feeling on how well all the visual elements work together as a whole.
[illustration: symmetrical pattern of blue bugs, black gears, a black spider web, orange arrows, and green rectangles]
Illustration of Harmony
The illustration shows different images or icons with different colors. You can see or feel that there is a good harmony among them.
UNITY
When all the elements and principles work together to create a pleasing image it defines unity.
You can see in the illustration that there is a group of stars with different sizes and arrangement. There is no pattern but you can see the unity among the stars that work together to create a pleasant piece.
[illustration: group of black stars of different sizes and arrangement] Illustration of Unity
VARIETY
Variety is the use of different elements in an image that has differences and change to increase the visual interest of the work.
[illustration: woman’s portrait over colorful woven patterns and a color wheel] Illustration of Variety
There are different elements used in the illustration with different principles that make the viewers see all the parts of the artwork.
SCALE
It is the relationship between images in terms of size or measurement, number or amount, visual weight and so on including the connection between parts of a whole.
[illustration: a large crab and a small crab] Illustration of Scale
Let’s Proceed
Now, let’s apply your knowledge of the principles of art.
It is easy to say that an artwork is beautiful. You can describe it even in one glance. But, can you notice every single detail of it? Did you pay attention to the balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm and movement, pattern and repetition, unity, variety, and proportion of an artwork?
This module will teach you to identify, understand, and give importance to the principles of arts.
Learning Objectives

What’s New
Hello my friend! Before we start our journey to our new lesson, let us have first a short activity.
“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Fairest of them All?”
Directions: Get a mirror and see your reflection on it. Try to look clearly to your face. Now, get a piece of paper or bond paper then draw your face on it based on your face reflection from the mirror. You can use any coloring materials if you want.
[illustration: circle frame with the text below] “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Fairest of them All?”
Let us examine your artwork.
- Let’s start from your eyes, do you think your eyes have the same measurement? How can you say so?
- How about your ears? Do you think they are balanced? How can you say so?
- Look at your nose and mouth. What can you say about them?
- Does your hair fit in your face built? Why? Why Not?
- Do your eyebrows have equal length and width? How can you say so?
- What is your overall impression of your face?
- Are the principles of art important in all artworks? Why?
What is It
Let us try to look into the principles of arts used in the sample arts and crafts from Luzon.
[illustration: drawing of a narrow cobblestoned street lined with old two-story houses, grilled windows, and columns]
Here is a picture of Calle Crisologo, a narrow and cobble- stoned streets in Vigan. The houses are simple but lovely subjects ready for picture-perfect shots with their roofs of red tiles, thick walls, huge doors, and stair cases leading to rooms of high ceilings and sliding capiz shell windows. Visitors can admire more closely the architecture and intricate craftsmanship employed in the grill and wood works when they step inside some of the houses that have been turned into stores and museums. They can even experience staying in a heritage house during their visit as some have been converted into inns.
When we look deeply at every detail of the designs, we can appreciate how the principles of art is being used. We can see clearly the balance in every span of walls, the emphasis and contrast in wall decorations, the rhythm and movement of every structure, the pattern and repetition of structural designs, and the variety, proportion and unity of every part of the houses in Calle Crisologo.
STOP! LOOK AND OBSERVE!
Directions: Now, it’s your turn! Look closely at the picture of Calle Crisologo. Write your observations about how the structure achieved pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, scale, harmony, rhythm/movement, unity, and variety. Write your observations inside the box with a magnifying glass icon. Use a separate sheet in accomplishing the activity.
[transcriber’s note: the six observation boxes are empty writing spaces, each marked with a magnifying glass icon]
For pattern
For contrast
For emphasis
For balance
For scale
For harmony
[transcriber’s note: the three observation boxes are empty writing spaces, each marked with a magnifying glass icon]
For rhythm/movement
For variety
For unity
Artist Perspective
When we look deeply in every inch of detail of the designs, we can appreciate how the principles of art are being used in Calle Crisologo. Look at the cobbled streets, can you see the pattern on how it is arranged? They used cobble stones in different sizes and arranged it in a repetitive sequence. From that arrangement we can see clearly the used of pattern and scale principles in it. How about the columns and doors of their houses, what principles do you see? Yes, there is pattern, balance, and unity. When you look at it from a perspective point of view, we can see movement and rhythm. Now, look at the sliding capiz shell windows. Do you see the pattern, balance, and unity of the capiz shells? How about contrast? Look deeply at the capiz shells, you can notice that there are some shells that are plain and some have dark colors. Now let’s see their wall decorations. They used different designs, a variety of designs that make their houses unique and encourage visitors to look more closely to their architecture designs and craftsmanship. In all, Calle Crisologo shows a good harmony that makes it lovelier and more famous.
Here is another masterpiece from Meycauayan, Bulacan. A jewelry that everyone wants to have. When we examine each craft, we can say that the principles of arts are one of the ingredients on how it is made. We can see pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, scale, harmony, rhythm/ movement, unity, and variety on every piece of the design on how they are cuts, bonds and shapes.
[illustration: pieces of jewelry arranged on a wooden display stand with a cord]
STOP! LOOK AND OBSERVE!
Directions: Now, it’s your turn! Look closely at the picture of Meycauayan, Bulacan jewelry. Write your observations about how the masterpiece achieved pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, scale, harmony, rhythm/movement, unity, and variety. Write your observations inside the box with a magnifying glass icon. Use a separate sheet in accomplishing the activity
[transcriber’s note: the four observation boxes are empty writing spaces, each marked with a magnifying glass icon]
For pattern
For contrast
For emphasis
For balance
Artist Perspective
[transcriber’s note: five empty boxes, each with a magnifying-glass icon, are printed above the passage; their labels are listed below]
For scale For harmony For rhythm/movement For variety For unity
Meycauayan, Bulacan Jewelry smiths are known for their talents in creating world class designs. We can see in their masterpiece that the principles of art are present. They have different patterns, scale, and balance in their designs and use different materials like precious metal: gold and silver, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones that create a visual interest and highlights one of the principles of art and that is variety. A jewelry may be mounted with gemstones that makes a good emphasis. We can also see the movement/rhythm in some of their designs like rope, chain and more. All their masterpieces are very artistic and you can embrace the harmony in it.
