ART ELEMENTS The “building blocks” of art. The tools by which we make art.
LINE Geometric Line- A mark made on a surface that has length and direction.
LINE Organic
SHAPE A two-dimensional enclosed area, or object. GEOMETRIC SHAPES (MATHEMATICAL) • SQUARES • CIRCLES • STARS • HEARTS • TRIANGLES, ETC.
COLOR The quality of light reflected from an object. Primary Colors: (Red, yellow, and blue) come from nature. Nothing can be mixed together to achieve these colors.
COLOR Secondary Colors: Those colors achieved by a mixture of two primaries.
COLOR Tertiary Colors: These colors are created when mixing one secondary and one primary color. These always have 2 names (i.e. blue-violet, red-orange, etc.).
COLOR Complementary Colors: Are opposite each other on the color wheel. They look good side by side, but neutralize each other if mixed.
COLOR Analogous Colors: Are next to each other on the color wheel.
COLOR Warm & Cool Colors Warm Colors Cool Colors
VALUE VALUE CAN BE IN COLOR ABOVE: VALUE SCALE (from dark to light) VALUE- THE LIGHTNESS OR DARKNESS OF A COLOR.
VALUE TINTS: Color mixed with white SHADE: Color mixed with black HUE
FORM Implied form Three-dimensional shapes or objects. Form can be implied or actual.
TEXTURE The tactile quality of a surface. It can be actual or implied.
TEXTURE Implied texture
SPACE The illusion of depth & distance. Spatial Planes: Closer objects are lower on the page and larger than objects behind them.
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE SPACE Edges and lines appear to converge (come together) at a point in the distance.
ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE Colors are darker, warmer, and sharper up close. Farther away, objects appear cooler, lighter, and fuzzier.
POSITIVE & NEGATIVE SPACE THE TREE IS POSITIVE THE AIRPLANE IS NEGATIVE
