Art Methods Elements of Art and Principles of Design
The Elements of Art • Line-a point moving through space. • Shape-an enclosed space. • Value-the range of lightness and darkness in an image. • Texture-the surface feel of an object or how it appears it would feel in a 2D representation. • 5. Color-includes the use of primary colors to create secondarycolors. By combining primary and secondary colors tertiary colors are created. Color schemes include- • Analogous • Complementary • Monochromatic • Split Complements
Line- movement, direction, stable, unstable Shape- organic/natural, man made Value- high key, low key, normal Texture- actual, implied (Space)- deep/shallow (Shape)- positive and negative
What is the positive shape? The tree or the field? What type of shapes are used in the image above? To the right? Objects below? Do you see any texture? Can you describe it? Which picture seems to show the deepest space? Why?
Color Warm Cool Complementary Split Complement Analogous Monochromatic
What type of color scheme is used in both of these? Which image appears to represent the feeling of winter best? Why?
What color scheme or color set is dominant? What value key would this be considered? Is it predominately light or dark? What type of shapes do you see?
Principles of Design Harmony Variety Balance Proportion Dominance Movement Economy How has harmony been used to this point in this presentation? Harmony: involves repetition and rhythm
Balance:the visual weight and appearance of a composition/design Radial Balance radiates from a central point
Informal Balance: more visual weight on one side of a central axis
Symmetrical: identical on both sides of a central axis-mirror effect
Formal or approximate symmetry: visual weight appears to be equally distributed but is not identical on either side of a central axis
Proportion: is the comparative relationship between the parts of a whole or units to size. Variety: differences achieved by opposing, contrasting, changing, elaborating, or diversifying elements in a composition. Do you see different values and patterns here? Does the white seem in proportion to the black? Does this image appear visually pleasing? Does any part seem to over power another?
Movement: the principle that directs eye travel by visual pathways in a work of art.
Economy: the distillation of the image to the basic essentials for clarity of presentation.
Dominance: the principle of art in which certain elements assume more importance than others in the same design. Some features are emphasized and others are subordinated.
What type of color scheme would this be called? Why does one set of loops seem more vibrant than the other? What principle of design is very important to this piece?
Create a chart listing the elements and principles as reviewed in this presentation with ads or photographs found in magazines. Label each one and paste it onto 8.5 by 11.5 pieces of paper/cardstock/construction paper to include in your portfolio. This will be a good visual reference for you and your students.
