1 Elements of Art Line Shape Form Space Value Color Texture

2 Line Line is the path of a moving point through space. Mark on a surface usually created by a pencil, pen, crayon, marker or paintbrush. Thick or thin, continuous or broken, vary in direction or color Straight, curvy, wavy, jagged, zigzag Types of Lines

3 Types of Line: Vertical Lines Horizontal Line Parallel Lines or or or Diagonal Line Contour Lines: outline of an object Gesture: to capture the movement of a person, animal, or object.

4 Actual Lines VS. Implied Lines *Actual Lines VS. Implied Lines: Actual lines are lines you can see, while implied lines are not real, but suggests the placement of other lines. Implied Lines Actual Lines

5 A Shape is a two dimensional area with length and width. Types of Shapes: circle, square, rectangle, oval, triangle, organic. Geometric shapes are precise, mathematical shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles. Organic shapes that are irregular, no form, and often found in nature.

6 A Form is an object that has three dimensions: height, width, and length. Types of Forms: sphere, cylinder, cube, cone, pyramid, organic. Used in sculptures and three dimensional pieces or art.

7 Actual Form VS Simulated Form An Actual Form is a real object or sculpture that has length, height, and width. A Simulated Form is the illusion of a three dimensional object on a two dimensional surface. Actual Form = 3D VS Simulated Form = picture of a 3D form, object, or sculpture VS Actual Form Simulated Form

8 S P A C E Space refers to the area above, below, between, within, and around an object. Positive Space: the space being used by an object. Negative Space: the space not being used by object empty space or background. Overlapping: the placement of one object over another.

9 Layers of Space Foreground: part of the artwork closest to the viewer. Background: part of the artwork that appears furthest away. Middle Ground: the part of the artwork between the foreground and background. Background: Sky and Distant trees Foreground: Flower Beds Middleground: House and the Man

10 Linear Perspective A technique that makes the use of line to create the illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface. Depth gives the illusion of space and distance on a two dimensional plane. Horizon Line: the line where the sky and ground meet. Vanishing Point: were all lines meet or converge on the horizon line Kinds of Linear Perspective VS One-Point Perspective (one single vanishing point) Two-Point Perspective (includes two vanishing points)

11 Atmospheric Perspective Atmospheric Perspective is a technique to create the illusion of air and space in an artwork. Faraway objects and air consist of muted colors and more white Close-up objects are bright and consist of darker colors.

12 the degree of lightness or darkness of a color Shading: a gradual change from dark to light. Different SHADING TECHNIQUES: Blending: gradual change in value Stippling: a pattern of dots. Hatching: thin parallel lines Cross-Hatching: lines that cross one another Blending Stippling Hatching Cross Hatching The closer the dots, parallel lines, and cross-hatching the darker the value, the further away the lighter the value.

13 Contrast is a difference in light and dark values low-contrast artwork has very little difference in value change. high-contrast artwork has the darks very black and the lights are very white. lowcontrast color artwork has muted dull color. highcontrast color artwork has rich vivid colors.

14 Color is the visual quality of the object caused by the amount of light absorbed or reflects. Also known as hue. Color is used to show emotion or moods. There are only 12 colors on the color wheel; however artist will create more colors by adding light and dark values. *Tints are made by adding white to a color. *Shades are made by adding black to a color. Intensity: the brightness or dullness of a color or hue

15 Primary Colors: purest color which all other colors are mixed - RED, BLUE, and YELLOW Secondary Colors: created by mixing two primary colors together ORANGE, GREEN, and PURPLE R + Y = O R + B = P B+Y = G Intermediate Colors: created when mixing one primary color with a secondary color closet to it on the color wheel RED- ORANGE, YELLOW- ORANGE, YELLOW-GREEN, BLUE-GREEN, BLUE-PURPLE, and RED-PURPLE

16 INNER By Leonid Afremov Color Families Warm Colors RED, YELOW, and ORANGE sense of happiness, sunny, or cheerfulness Cool Colors BLUE, PURPLE, and GREEN sense of calmness or loneness Vincent van Gogh: Sunflowers The Old Guitarist, 1903 by Pablo Picasso

17 Color Schemes Monochromatic: color scheme which uses different values of one color or hue Analogous: color scheme based on colors that are beside one another on the color wheel. They share a common hue like YELLOW- GREEN, GREEN, and BLUE- GREEN Complementary Colors: color scheme which uses colors across from each other on the color wheel YELLOW and PURPLE, BLUE and ORANGE, RED and GREEN Neutral Colors: colors include black, white, brown, and shades of gray

18 the way an object feels to the touch, or the way it looks. Rough, Smooth, Bumpy, Shiny, Dull Meret Oppenheim, fur-covered cup, saucer, and spoon, 1936 (Modern) Tactile Texture (actual texture): the way a surface feels to the touch. Albrecht Dürer, The Young Hare, 1502, Albertina, Vienna Visual Texture: the way a surface looks like it would feel.
