  3. Color • Color has three properties: • Hue- the color itself • Value- the lightness or darkness of a color • Intensity- the brightness or dullness of a color ALL colors are made from : RED, YELLOW, and BLUE

  4. SHAPE • Shape has two dimensions: width and height. • There are two types of shapes: geometric and free form shapes. • Geometric shapes can be measured mathematically. They include:

  5. Value • Valueis the lightness or darkness of anything. • Value is an element in itself as well as a property of color. -White is the lightest possible value. -Black is the darkest possible value. • Color can also change in value. • Color lightened with white is called a tint. • Color darkened with black is called a shade.

  6. Value (Continued) • Color can also change in value. -Color lightened with white is called a tint. -Color darkened with black is called shade.

  7. FORM • Forms have three-dimensions: • Height, Width, andDepth • Shading helps to make forms look solid.

  8. SPACE • In painting and drawing, space is an illusion of depth created by an artist on a flat surface • Positive space is space taken up by objects. • Negative space is empty space around objects.

  9. LINE • Line is a mark which has greater length than width. • We see the edges of shapes as line. Contour line drawings define surface lines as well as outlines of objects.

  10. LINE (Continued) Kinds of Lines • Diagonal can suggest movement • Zigzagcan imply quick change of direction • Vertical can create a look ofstability/grandeur • Horizontal can imply restfulness/calmness • Curved can imply slow/fast movement • Implied not real lines, lines made by the eye as it connects rows of similar objects

  11. LINE (Continued) • Lines direct the viewer’s eye around a work of art. • Lines can create value. • Lines can create texture.
