Elements • Line • Color • Texture • Value • Shape • Form • Space
Line I. a continuous mark, made by a moving point, on a surface, or in space A. Actual - Fully drawn lines or Implied - Lines that are ‘hinted’ at B. Directional Vertical – Up and down Horizontal – Side to side, like the horizon Diagonal – Any line that is not vertical or horizontal. C. Descriptive Adjectives and Adverbs
The Obvious STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL VERTICAL DIAGONAL
Diego Rivera, The Flower Carrier, 1935, 48x48 in. Note lines implied by directional gazes
Hokusai, KatsushikaThe Great Wave Off KanagawaFrom "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"1823-29Color woodcut10 x 15 in.
THE UPSTAIRSCharles Sheeler (American, b.1883, d.1965)1938oil on canvas19 1/2 x 12 3/4 in. (49.5 x 32.4 cm) Lines create planes; planes suggest volume
Color I. produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. II. All hues on the color spectrum, even hues not on the spectrum such as black and white. A. Hue - the name we give to a color (red, yellow, etc.).
B. Intensity - the strength and vividness of the color. Describe the color blue as (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (grayed). C. Value-light or darkness of a color
PRIMARY & secondary RED PURPLE BLUE GREEN YELLOW ORANGE
COLOR WHEEL HUE
Texture Actual texture- the way something actually feels Implied texture- the way something appears to feel visually
Meret Oppenheim, Fur covered cup, saucer, and spoon, 1936 (a.k.a. The Object)
VAN GOGH, VincentThe Starry Night1889, Oil on canvas, 29 x 36 1/4 in p. 383
Value IV. The lightness or darkness of a color. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colors A. Tint - when white is added to a pure hue B. Shade - when black is added to a pure hue C. Tone – when white AND black are added to a color
Shape A. Space that is contained within edges B. Organic-irregular – An irregular 2D enclosed area, like that which might be found in nature. B. Geometric-has a strict pattern – 2D enclosed area created by exact mathematical law.
Form A. A 3D space B. Organic – An irregular 3D enclosed area, like that which might be found in nature. C. Geometric– 3D enclosed area that has a strict pattern
VOLUME LINE SHAPE VOLUME Implied in painting; actual in sculpture
Space A. The appearance of depth in art B. Actual – the real distance between or around areas or components within of a piece. C. Implied/illusionary - the appearance of space or depth within a work of art. D. Positive – Solid areas or objects E. Negative – ‘air’ around solid objects, space where other things are not present
Principles • Balance • Movement • Emphasis • Pattern (repetition) • Unity (compare) • Variety (contrast) • Rhythm
Balance the ways in which the elements (lines, shapes, etc.) of a piece are arranged Symmetrical - elements are given equal "weight" from an imaginary line in the middle of a piece. Near symmetry- same weight…not the same stuff. Asymmetrical - occurs when elements are placed unevenly in a piece, but work together to produce harmony overall.
How is this photograph balanced? Is it symmetrical, near symmetrical, or asymmetrical?
Movement a visual flow through the composition as you move from object to object by way of placement and position Actual – an object that has true motion. Implied - the suggestion of motion in a design.
Emphasis • What stands out in the art and what draws the viewer’s attention in.
Pattern(Repetition) the repetition of an element (or elements) in a work
Unity(Compare) • How an artworks are similar or alike or how they go together.
Variety(Contrast) • How things are different. This creates visual interest. High contrast= VERY different Low contrast= a little different
Rhythm • Rhythm, in art, is a visual beat.
