2 About Line in Art Elements of Art Lines are everywhere! They re on the roads, they make up letters and numbers in all the subjects we do in school, they help us communicate, they re used in scientific diagrams and on maps, they even appear on our faces. But what does a line have to do with art? Elements of Art: The Elements of Art are components or pieces that make up an art piece. These elements are form, color, line, shape, space, texture and value. Line: Lines are marks that span between two points, just the same as in math. What we see in art are usually many curved and straight line segments on a page. Lines make up all our drawings and designs. Lines in art can appear in many ways and combinations, including thick and thin, as a dot, curved and straight, zigzagged or wavy, as hatching or scribbling... Any mark you make on your page with a mark-maker (including pencil, pen, paint-brush, etc) is a form of a line. With negative and positive space, you can even create invisible, implied lines! In art, lines can take many forms and have many purposes. They create forms, they create still-life drawings, cartoons, and even have the power to shade drawings to create the illusion of a third dimension on a flat surface. It is important to practice a variety of lines as you will find a use for them in your art practice later! Experiment, use your imagination and be creative!

6 About Color in Art Elements of Art Color is everywhere in our world and greatly effects how we perceive our environment. Color can influence our emotions, moods, and mental acuity. A bright and cheerfully decorated room presents a different mood compared to a dark decorated one. Artists and designers use colors intentionally to make the viewer feel a specific way, whether it is to bring happiness, convey sorrow, or stimulate appetite with certain colors in a logo. Even colors in clothing have an unconscious effect on people. Elements of Art: The Elements of Art are components or pieces that make up an art piece. These elements are form, color, line, shape, space, texture and value. What is Color: Color is one of the elements of art that is produced when light strikes an object and reflect back to the eye. Color has three properties: hue (color), intensity and value. Hue: Hue an Color are basically the same thing. The word hue is used to describe a swatch on the color wheel. Hue is the naming of a color. Intensity: Intensity examines how bright or dark a color is. Color intensity can range from extremely bright or saturated to a dull version that is similar to gray. Value: Value determines how light or dark a color is. The value of a pure color can be altered by adding white or black to make the color lighter or darker. When you add white to a color, you create a tint. The more white that is added, the lighter a color will become. When you add black to a color, you create a shade. The more black you add, the darker a color will become. Colors are placed into a family of twelve colors and are most commonly seen on a color wheel. These colors are broken into primary, secondary tertiary colors. Colors can also be described as analogous (next to each other on the color wheel), complimentary (across from each other on the color wheel) or even neutral (whites, blacks, grays, and some tans), It is important to understand color to use it effectively during the creation of any type of art piece to better connect with your audience and create a strong work of art.

7 Color Wheel Understanding Color A Color Wheel is a tool that helps artists and designers understand how colors relate to each other. Create your own color wheel by mixing colors and filling in the spaces below. Hue: a color Shade: a color + black Tint: a color + white Yellow-Orange Yellow Hue Shade Yellow-Green Green Blue-Green Orange Tint Red-Orange Blue Red Blue-Purple Red-Purple Purple

8 Types of Colors Primary, Secondary,, Complementary, Analogous, and Neutral Colors Blue Yellow Red Primary Colors The Color Wheel is built on three colors known as primary colors. Primary colors are: red, yellow, and blue. All other colors can be mixed from these three colors. Pure red, yellow and blue are the only colors that can t be created by mixing any other colors together. Yellow Orange Red Red Purple Blue Green Yellow Blue Secondary Colors When you combine any two primary colors, you will create three new colors known as secondary colors. Secondary colors are: orange, purple and green. Red Red-Orange Orange Colors colors are the results of a primary and its nearest secondary color being combined. For example, Red + Orange = Red-Orange. analogous, complementary, Monochromatic and Neutral Colors Analogous Colors: Analogous colors are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel such as green and blue, yellow and orange, and red and purple. Complementary Colors: Complementary colors are colors that are across from each other on the color wheel. Complementary colors are red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and purple. Complementary colors are used to create strong contrast and draw attention in art. Monochromatic: Monochromatic refers to a color scheme that uses only tints and shades of just one color or hue. Neutral Colors: Neutral Colors are considered to be blacks, whites, grays, and some tans. They are called neutrals because they have minimal impact on an art piece or composition.
