ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN the building blocks used to create a work of art
ELEMENTS OF ART • Line • Shape • Form • Value • Color • Space • Volume/Mass
LINE An extended point; with length and direction Can you Name some types of lines?
Wassily Kandinsky • Russian-born artist • 1866-1944 • one of the first creators of pure abstraction in modern painting "Composition VIII", 1923Composition VIII reflects the influence of Suprematism and Constructivism He uses different colors within the forms to energize their geometry: a yellow circle with blue halo versus blue circle with yellow halo; a right angle filled with blue and an acute angle colored pink.
Jackson Pollock • American Painter • 1912-1956 • the commanding figure of the Abstract Expressionist movement • “Lavender Mist: Number 1”, 1950 • Pollock was the first “all-over‘” painter, pouring paint rather than using brushes and a palette, and abandoning all conventions of a central motif • “The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.” • He painted no image, just ”action”
Piet Mondrian • Dutch Abstract Painter • 1872-1944 • the real artist of geometry, “abstract purity” • “Composition with Red, Yellow, Blue and Black”, 1921 • Mondrian imposed rigorous constraints on himself, using only primary colors, black and white, and straight-sided forms. • he developed a new style of abstract painting, replacing his cluttered canvasses with simplicity
LINE Outline Contour Line Gesture Line
SHAPE A closed line It is 2-D Can be geometric Can be organic
Henri Matisse • French Fauvist Artist • 1869-1954 • “Anfitrite”, 1947 • gouache on paper cut and pasted • Matisse generally cut the shapes out freehand, using a small pair of scissors and saving both the item cut out and remaining scraps of paper.
FORM A 3-D object having volume and thickness
Value Scale • Highlight • Area of Illumination • Half Shade • Deep Shade • Cast Shadow VALUE “tone” The lightness or darkness of an color
Blended • Crosshatch • Hatch • Stipple • Scumble VALUE Techniques

VALUE Drawing Pencil
TEXTURE surface quality either tactile or visual the degree of roughness or smoothness
SPACE the area between and around objects Positive/negative space
COLOR “HUE”: color in it’s pure state Chroma: purity or intensity of color Intensity: bright/dull Value: light/dark
COLOR SCHEMES Monochromatic Analogous Complementary Triadic Tint/Shade Warm/Cool
VOLUME & MASS V: Refers to the space within a form M: the effect and degree of bulk, density, and weight of matter in space Umberto Boccioni, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, 1913, Bronze
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN • Emphasis • Balance • Rhythm • Harmony • Movement • Proportion • Unity & Variety • Repetition • Pattern • Contrast
EMPAHSIS Focal Point area that first attracts attention in a composition
symmetrical or evenly balanced BALANCE feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc… asymmetrical and un-evenly balanced
RHYTHM A visual tempo or beat regular repetition of elements of art to produce the look and feel of movement. Henri Matisse, “Dance (I)”, 1909
HARMONY A way of combining elements of art to accent their similarities and bind the picture parts into a whole. Henri Matisse, “Dance (I)”, 1909
MOVEMENT A way of combining visual elements to produce a sense of implied action. Pablo Picasso, “Starry Night”, 1889
PROPORTION size relationship of parts to a whole and to one another. Leonardo da Vinci , “Vitruvian Man”, 1480
UNITY & VARIETY Unity: The quality of wholeness or oneness; when the components of a work of art are perceived as harmonious, giving the work a sense of completion. Variety: adds interest by using contrasting elements within the composition; an assortment.
UNITY & VARIETY WasilyKandinsky, “Several Circles”, 1926
REPETITION Element occurring more than once Repetition with Variation is interesting, without variation repetition can become monotonous
PATTERN The repetition of anything - shapes, lines, or colors in a planned way Also called a motif, in a design M.C. Escher, Path of Life III 1966 woodcut in red and black, printed from 2 blocks
CONTRAST when two related elements are different. using opposing qualities next to each other. For example, black and white Contrast adds variety to the total design and creates unity. Georges La tour, Joseph the Carpenter 1645, Louvre, Paris
