  1. Ms. Crump - Art Elements of Art

  2. What are Art Elements? • The art elements are the “words” that make up the “language of art”. • Consists of: • Line • Color • Shape • Form • Space • Texture

  3. Line • A continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point • Types of line: • Horizontal • Vertical • Diagonal/Slanting • Curved • Zig-zag

  4. Horizontal Lines • Run parallel to the ground • Suggest peacefulness or calm

  5. Vertical Lines • Run up and down • Suggest strength and dignity

  6. Diagonal/Slanting Lines • Suggest tension

  7. Curved Lines • Suggest flowing movement

  8. Zig-zag Lines • Suggest confusion and action

  9. Color • Derived from reflected light • Three distinct properties: • Hue • Value • Intensity

  10. Hue • The name of a color • Example = Red is a hue • Relationship can be seen when hues are arranged on a color wheel

  11. Value • The lightness or darkness of a color • Created by adding black or white to a hue • Tint = lighter value • Pink is a tint of red • Shade = darker value • Brown is a shade of red

  12. Intensity • Brightness or dullness of a hue • Created by adding a hue’s compliment or opposite hue to it • High intensity example = lemon yellow • Low intensity example = mustard yellow

  13. Color Schemes • Combination of colors • Types: • Monochromatic • Complimentary • Warm or Cool • Analogous

  14. Monochromatic Color Scheme • Uses different value of a single hue

  15. Complimentary • Colors opposite of each other on the color wheel • Red and Green • Blue and Orange • Yellow and Violet

  16. Warm or Cool Color Schemes • Warm color schemes • Red, Yellow, Orange • Remind us of the sun and warmth • Cool color schemes • Blue, Green, Violet • Bring to mind things that are cool like grass or water

  17. Analogous Color Schemes • Uses colors right beside each other on the color wheel

  18. Shape • An area clearly set off by one or more of the other art elements (line or space) • Have only two dimensions: height and width • Two basic types: • Geometric • Organic or free-form shape

  19. Geometric Shapes • Look as though they were made with a ruler or drawing tool • Five basic geometric shapes: • Square • Circle • Triangle • Rectangle • Oval

  20. Organic/Free-form Shapes • Not regular or even • Outlines may be curved, angular, or both • Shapes found in nature, like leaves or clouds

  21. Form • An object with three dimensions • May be sculpture or architecture • Has height, width, and depth • Objects that exist in real space • Can hold or walk around

  22. Space Negative Space Positive Space • The real or implied distance between, around, above, below, and within objects • Both in two- and three-dimensional art • Types: • Positive Space = shapes and forms • Negative Space = empty areas around or within the shapes or forms

  23. Texture • The way things feel, or look as though they might feel • Examples = smooth, rough, grainy, slippery
