ART ELEMENTS OF ART COLLAGE PROJECT ELEMENTS OF ART ( DESIGN ): LINE TEXTURE COLOUR SHAPE ( FORM ) VALUE ( TONE) SPACE " THE COMBINATION OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF LINE, SHAPE, VALUE, COLOUR, SPACE, AND TEXTURE REPRESENT THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF THE ARTIST. " PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN: BALAlfCE VARIETY PROPORTION UNITY EMPHASIS MOVEMENT CONTRAST RHYTHM PATTERN " IF THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ARE THE VOCABULARY OF THE A..~TIST,THEN THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN ARE THE GRAMMAR. " " A SKILLFUL BLEND OF ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES RESULTS IN A UNIFIED DESIGN, A DESIGN IN WHICH ALL THE PARTS HOLD TOGETHER TO PRODUCE THE BEST POSSIBLE EFFECT. " PROJECT NO. ~: IN CLASS - USE SCISSORS, GLUE STICK, A 15 X 10 INCH PIECE OF ILLuSTRATION BOA..~D( OR FACSIMILE ), AND CLIPPINGS FROM MAGAZINES, ETC., TO CREATE A COLLAGE DESIGN BASED ON ONE OF THE SIX ELEMENTS OF ART CLIP, ARRANGE, OVERLAP, OUTLINE, AND GLUE CLIPPINGS THAT STRESS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS. YOU MIGHT WANT TO INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR CHOSEN ELEMENT IN THE COLLAGE TO HELP EMPHASIZE YOUR CHOICE. YOU COULD ALSO ADD A SECONDARY SUBJECT OR A FAVOURITE THEME TO YOUR COLLAGE BY USING FOR EXAMPLE; ALL FACES, Ar..L SPORTS IMAGES, ALL MUSIC, OR ALL NATURE IMAGES. TRY TO LEAVE APPROX. 1 CM. AROUND THE EDGE FOR A BORDER. TIME: - ONE OR TWO CLASSES. PROJECT NO.2: FOR HOMEWO~~ - OSING YOUR SKETCHBOOK DO EITHER; (a) TWO MORE COLLAGES OF TWO OTHER ELEMENTS, AS ABOVE, BUT USE ONE PAGE EACH IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK, OR; (b) ONE MORE COLLAGE OF ANOTHER ELEMENT, hs ABOVE, BUT RUNNING ACROSS TWO PAGES IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK.

HOE - Tne name of a colour, for example red.., VALUE - The lighmess or darkness ofa colour. -. ~TENSITY - the brighmess or dullness of a colour., '-----., _ t LOO A continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point Ie may be twodimensional (pend on paper), three-dime:lslonal (wire), or implied. (the ed2:e of a sn::j.ce or form). -. TEXTURE R:fers to the surface quality or feel of an objec~ its' smoothness, roughness or softness. Texture mav. be simulated or actual. Actual texture can be felt with the fingers - while simulated textures are suggested by the artist with her tools.. SHAPE & FOR.'( Shape is an enclosed space defined. by other art elements such as line or colour. Shape has two dimensions: length and width. Some e.-camples of shapes are circles, squaies and triangles. Form is an element of art that has thrce-dimensions: height, width and depth and encloses volume. Cubes, spheres, pynunids and cylinders are ex:unples of fonns., 5. SPACE Refe:s to the dist:lrtce or area between, arouncl above, below or within things. It can be two or three dimensional: 6. \i.-\lue P,L l,->\c '\ '. ~~ri Value refers to light or c±1rk tones. All surfaces need light to be seen by the hwnilll eye..

3 P~C[PLES OF :\RT (How the Artist uses the Tools) 1. BAL-L~CE It refers to the v,~y the art elements are ammged to cre3te a feding of S"..wiiityin a work. Baiance Qn be symmetrical (formal balance) or asymmetrical (informal balance)..,_. E)lPHASlS Refers to the WilY of combining elements to stress the differences bt:tween them to create a centre of interest(s). 3. ~. 5. I!AR."t-IONY pans Rerers to a way of combining elements to stress the similarities, and blnd the picture into :l whole. VARIETY Refers to the way of combinimz elements in inuic::lteand complicated wavs to-create. complex relationships. GRADATION. -. A step by step change, for example, moving from light to dark in a colour range, or small to large shapes in ::lcomposition. ~ 6. /. MOVEMENT Combining elements to create action or cause the viewers eye to swe:p over the work. R.ffYl1L\.1 Careful placement of repe:lted elements to create a visual tempo Or beat to produce a look or feel of movement. 8. PROPORTION Refers to the relationship of certain elements to the work and' to each omt:r.
