Where do you see art
in your daily life?
Line:A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point.
3 properties of a line:
Direction – where’s it goin? Measure – thick, thin, etc. Character – emotional quality
How Lines affect a piece of art:
•Define a space
•Create an outline
Types of lines
How do
lines define this painting?
How do the diagonal lines in this drawing create
mood?
H
WShapeShapes are enclosed spaces.
2-Dimensions: Height & Width
Notice how the enclosed shapes create images…
Geometric Shapes: Recognizably named areas based on straight lines, angles, and curves. Examples: circles, rectangles, squares, triangles
Organic Shapes: shapes with a natural look and a flowing and curving appearance. They have less well-defined edges.

Texture:
The actual feel or touch of a
surface.
Gives a visual sense of how a
2-dimension
al object
would feel.
2-Dimensional
Texture…
What is the “visual” feel
of this charcoal painting?
What Elements of Art do you see?
Explain on yourguided notes sheetTwo ways that VanGogh creates texture in this painting.
More More TexturTexturee: In 3-dimensional art, texture is tactile – you can feel it!
What do you think these are
made of?
SPACE: a perception of depth or
dimension.
Defines whether objects are in front or behind other objects, are situated around them, or project from them.
Space brings perspective to the artwork.Perspective is the
technique of representing three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a two-dimensional surface. .
Linear Perspective tricks the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface.
Linear Perspective…tricking the eye!

And more linear perspective!
One-point Perspective…
• Shows forms from a “face-on” vantage point.

Two-Point Perspective
• Shows an angular view – not “face-on.”
Aerial or Atmospheric Aerial or Atmospheric PerspectivePerspective:: A method of creating the illusion of distance by representing objects farther away with less clarity of contour and in diminished color.
Notice how there is less clarity and color in the background of these paintings.
Value: An element of design that relates to the lightness and darkness of a color in a work of art.
How Values are adjusted…
•A color can be lightened by adding white or darkened using black.
Shade: The value of a color is darkened when adding black to it.
Tint: A color is lightened when adding white to it.
CCOOLLOORR•An element of design that
identifies natural and manufactured things as being red, yellow, blue, orange, etc.
What are Primary Colors?
•YELLOWYELLOW•REDRED•BLUEBLUE
Color Theory: All colors can be made from the three primary colors: red, yellow and blue.
• Secondary Hues: Created from mixing 2 primary colors.
• Hue: a particular shade or tint of a given color
Intermediate Hues: Created when mixing together primary and secondary colors.
Also called TERTIA
RY colors
Complementary colors are hues directly opposite one another on the color wheel

Write down this complementary scheme
Complementary Color Scheme
• When these colors are mixed together, the overall effect diminishes the
intensity of the hue.
• Intensity: The strength, brightness, or purity of a color. The intensity may be lowered by adding white or black.
Intensity…
• Notice the intensity gets lighter and darker.
Triadic Color Scheme: A color group or color scheme using three colors of equal distance from one another on the color wheel, forming an equilateral triangle.
Red, blue, and green form a triadic color group.

Analogous Color Scheme: colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme.
