  1. Elements of Art

  2. A List of the Elements • Line • Shape • Form • Space • Value • Color • Texture

  3. Line • Actual lines are lines that you can see. • Implied lines are lines that seem to be there because of actual lines, shapes or colors.

  4. Artist: Salvador DaliStudy for “Don Quixote”

  5. Notice that Dali used line • To work rapidly • Use gesture to show more than one movement in the same drawing • What was he suggesting by using the line? Why is it called a “study”? Was this his final art piece?

  6. Sketch Book Homework/Line • Choose an object in your house. What types of lines does it have? Sketch the object and label the lines. Then make another sketch of the object, changing the lines. Make them thicker, or curve them more. How do different lines alter the mood of your sketch?

  7. Shape • Shape is an area that has height and width. Artist use two types of shapes. • Geometric shapes are precise mathematical shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. • Organic shapes irregular shapes like those found in nature

  8. Fernard Leger Disks 1918

  9. Fernard Leger • French Artist (1881-1955) • Wanted to become an architect • Used clearly defined shapes in solid colors to create bold patterns on his canvases • Shapes came from the world around him because he was inspired by the industrial age, simplified architectural and mechanical shapes • Did he us organic or geometric shapes? • What objects might have inspired the shapes he used?

  10. Sketchbook Homework/Shape • Draw at least ten shapes from the world around you. Label each shape to identify where it came from and what type of shape it is. Choose three or four of the shapes you have drawn. Create a small composition with them by drawing a rectangle and filling it with the shapes you have chosen.

  11. Form • While a shape only has two dimensions, a form has three. It has height, width, and depth. A form is something that you can hold or go around. Basketballs, snow, cones, and alligators are all forms.

  12. Form • Geometric Forms- include objects such as spheres, cylinders, cubes, cones and pyramids. • Organic Forms- are irregular, like the natural forms of pinecones and armadillos.

  13. Artist- Umberto Boccioni Sculpture- Unique Forms of Continuity in Space 1913

  14. What does this sculpture remind you of? • The form is distorted and exaggerated to express an emotion or evoke a feeling. he captured movement in form by showing the figure striding and by sculpting the limbs to look as if garments were blowing in the wind. What do you think Boccioni was trying to convey?

  15. Example of Drawing 3-D Forms

  16. Sketchbook Homework/Form • Because drawing is two-dimensional, artist must create the illusion of form to show a three-dimensional object. Use lines, light, and shadow to draw the illusion of several 3-D forms such as spheres or cubes. Keep one side of the object light, and darken the opposite side.

  17. Space • An element of art, space is the area in and around an object. It can be empty or full, nearby or far away.

  18. Positive & Negative Space

  19. Positive Space & Negative Space • Positive Space is the area occupied by an object. • Negative Space is the area around the object, and that defines the object’s edges

  20. The rock formations in the photograph below are the positive space. The opening in the rock creates negative space. Artists who work in 2-D, such as painters, often create depth in their artworks. Depth is the use of perspective to give the illusion of deep space on a 2-D plane. Another way artist create depth is to use overlapping, the process of putting on object, color or line in front of another.

  21. Artist- Claes Oldenberg Sculpture- Geometric Mouse-Scale A 1969-1971

  22. In this sculpture, Oldenburg used geometric shapes to create a representation of a mouse’s head. What shapes form the positive space? By tipping the mouse’s head, Oldenburg created negative space between the head and the ground. He also created negative space within the Sculpture with openings in the large square of the mouse’s face. What might the openings represent?

  23. Sketchbook Homework/Space • Choose an object from nature or from home. Draw the object multiple times in a single composition, making it seem close, far and very far away. Use overlapping and diminishing size to give your drawing the illusion of depth.

  24. Areas in Space • Foreground- the object that are closest to the viewer. • Background- the area farthest from the viewer • Middle ground- the area between foreground and background

  25. Artist- Grant Wood Painting- Stone City Iowa 1930

  26. Wood overlapped objects to make the ones on top appear closer to the viewer. • Objects, like trees and buildings, appear smaller the farther away they are. The objects that are near are darker and More detailed than the Objects that are far away, drawing the Viewer’s eye to the objects that are closer. What emotion or feeling does this sense of deep space evoke?

  27. Sketchbook Homework/Depth • Use what you have learned about showing space to draw an outdoor scene. Use a variety of organic shapes, geometric shapes, and lines to draw an outdoor scene that shows space. Use the techniques you have learned about space to show the foreground, middle ground, and background. Increase the illusion of space by adding details to shapes in the foreground with markers or colored pencils.

  28. More Areas in Space • Perspective • Linear Perspective • Horizon Line • Vanishing Point • Atmospheric Perspective

  29. Perspective • When you stand near the corner of a building and look along one wall, the front corner of the building seems bigger than the back corner. Lines on the building that are actually parallel seem to get a closer together the farther they are from you. And far down the road, over the hill, objects seem to get fuzzier and lighter. These are tricks of human perception, which artists use to convey depth in their work.

  30. Space and Perspective • Linear Perspective- is a technique in which artists use actual and implied lines to create an illusion of space and depth on a two-dimensional surface.

  31. Horizon Line • Horizon Line- In name given to the viewer’s eye level, is the implied line where the sky meets the ground.

  32. Vanishing Point • Vanishing Point- The point on the horizon where lines in a painting or drawing converge, or come together.

  33. Artist- Carlo Crivelli Painting- The Annunciation with Saint Emidius 1486

  34. Atmospheric Perspective • Atmospheric Perspective- is another technique for creating the illusion of depth. This technique, also called aerial perspective, is used to create the appearance of atmosphere and space in a work of art. Objects that are close are darker in order to draw the eye; objects that are farther away are lighter and more muted. These changes in light and dark help create the illusion of depth.

  35. Artist- Thomas Moran Painting- A Miracle of Nature 1913

  36. Sketchbook Homework/Perspective • Make two sketches that show linear perspective in outdoor scenes. Choose objects with strong linear qualities like buildings and tables. Make notes about what you find difficult in representing theses scenes. Describe different ways to solve the difficulties you encountered.

  37. More areas in Space • One-point Perspective • Two-point Perspective

  38. Interior Perspective • One-point perspective- is a technique of using a single vanishing point to show space and depth on a two-dimensional plane.

  39. Interior Perspective • Two-point perspective- employs two vanishing points to show space and depth on a two-dimensional surface.

  40. Sketchbook Homework/Linear Perspective & Atmospheric • Use what you have learned about linear and atmospheric perspective to create a drawing of an interior scene. Choose a room in your house to draw. Use the techniques of one-point perspective to make the object fit in. Use markers, crayons, or color pencils to create atmospheric perspective by making the objects in the foreground darker than the background objects.

  41. Value • Value- an element of art, is the degree of lightness or darkness of a color. • Shading- a gradual change from light to dark values

  42. Here is how we create Value • Shading- A gradual change from light to dark.

  43. Shading Techniques- Blending, stippling, hatching and cross-hatching • Artist- • Mary Williamson • Drawing- She Flies With Other Wings- 2006

  44. Blending-gradually changing the value

  45. Stippling- a pattern of dots

  46. Hatching- thin parallel lines

  47. Cross-Hatching-lines that cross one another

  48. Artist-Diego Rivera Drawing- Study of a Sleeping Woman 1921

  49. 2 Assignments; Sketchbook Homework/ Part 1 Value Scale • 1-Draw a two-inch by four-inch rectangle in your sketchbook. Divide the rectangle into eight equal spaces. Use these spaces to create a value scale that show gradual shading (from light to dark). Leave the first space white and show gradual increase in shading.

  50. Sketchbook Homework Part 2/Portrait • Draw a portrait of a famous person using blending, stippling, hatching, and cross hatching.
