  6. Main Types of Line Feeling Created by Line

  7. Contour Line Lines that define the form of an object

  8. Implied Lines Line that is not really painted or drawn but is created by A value or color change or and series of objects that are Lined up someway.

  9. Gesture Lines A Gesture is an expressive movement. The purpose of drawing gestures is to capture The feeling of motion.

  10. Shape A two dimensional area that is defined in some way> Geometric Shapes Organic Shapes

  11. Geometric Shapes Geometric Shapes are precise shapes that can be described using Mathematical formulas.

  12. Work by Joan Miro that features geometric shapes

  13. Organic or Free form Shapes Irregular or uneven shapes

  14. Green Tea Cup By Janet Fish Includes a lot Of Organic Shapes

  15. Form • A three dimensional enclosed object.

  16. “Form” can refer to an actual 3-dimentional Like a sculpture or a building or a photo or Picture of the 3-dimensional object. The White House Statue of Liberty

  20. Value is the same thing as shading and can make Drawings look more realistic and 3 dimentional.

  21. Hatching and Cross Hatching are techniques used to create values with parallel lines.

  22. Stippling is a way of using dots To create values.

  23. Shading or Blending is a way of creating value and making objects look more 3D.

  24. Texture The element of art that refers to the way things Feel or look like they would feel if touched.

  25. Actual or Real Textures refer to textures That you can really feel. Basket The Awakening by J. Seward Johnson Located at Hains Point outside of Washington DC
