Line• An element of art that is used to define space,

contours, and outlines, or suggest mass and volume. It may be a continuous mark made on surface with a pointed tool or implied by edges of shapes and forms.

Page 3: Elements of Art

Examples of line

Page 4: Elements of Art
Page 5: Elements of Art

Shape• An element

of art. An enclosed space defined by other art elements such as line, color and texture.

Page 8: Elements of Art

Form

• An element of design that appears three-dimensional and encloses volume such as a cube, sphere, pyramid, or cylinder.

Page 9: Elements of Art

Texture

• The surface quality of an artwork usually perceived through touch

Page 10: Elements of Art
Page 11: Elements of Art

Space

• An element of art that indicates areas between, around, above, below or within something.

Page 12: Elements of Art

Perspective

• The representation of three-dimensional objects on a flat surface to produce the same impression of distance and relative size as that received by the human eye.

Page 14: Elements of Art
Page 15: Elements of Art

• Two point linear perspective: A technique of creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface.

– All parallel lines receding into the distance are

drawn to converge at one or more vanishing points on the horizon line.

– In ONE POINT linear perspective receding line converge to one vanishing point.

– In TWO POINT linear perspective lines go to te3o vanishing points

• Value: An element of art concerned with the degree of lightness of colors. Darker colors are lower in value.

Page 23: Elements of Art

• Tint: A lighter value of a hue made by adding small amount of another color to it.

• Shade: Variations in the dark and light of color by adding black to the color.

Page 24: Elements of Art

Color Theory • Color: An art element with three principles : hue, value, and intensity.

Primary colors: The three basic colors red, yellow and blue, form which it is possible to mix all other colors.

Secondary colors: Colors that result from a mixture of two primary colors.

Intermediate colors: Colors produced by mixing a primary color and the adjacent secondary color on the color wheel.

Page 26: Elements of Art

• Intensity: The degree of purity, saturation or strength of color.

Color Schemes• Triadic: Any three colors equidistant on the

color wheel

• Complementary: Two colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel.

• Analogous: Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.

Principles of Design

Page 29: Elements of Art

• Repetition: A way of combining art elements so that the same elements are used over and over to achieve balance and harmony.

Page 30: Elements of Art

• Pattern: The repetition of elements or combinations of elements in a recognizable organization.

Page 31: Elements of Art
Page 32: Elements of Art

• Rhythm: A principle of design that refers to ways of combining elements to produce the appearance of movement in an artwork .

Page 33: Elements of Art

Movement

Associated with rhythm referring to the arrangement of parts in an art work to create

a sense of motion to the viewers eye.

Page 34: Elements of Art

• Contrast: A principle of design that refers to difference s between elements such as color, texture, value, and shape.

Page 35: Elements of Art
Page 36: Elements of Art

• Proportion: The size relationship between parts of an artwork

Page 37: Elements of Art

Balance

• A principle of design referring to the visual elements to create stability in an artwork. There are four types of balance:

• Symmetrical: A balance arrangement in which parts of a composition are organized so that one side duplicates or mirrors the other.

Page 38: Elements of Art

• Symmetrical: A balance arrangement in which parts of a composition are organized so that one side duplicates or mirrors the other.

Page 39: Elements of Art

• Asymmetrical: A feeling of balance attained when the visual units on either side of a vertical axis are actually different but are placed in the composition to create a “felt” balance of the total work.

Page 40: Elements of Art

• Radial symmetry: A balance arrangement that results from the repetitive placement of elements radiating out from central point.

Page 41: Elements of Art

• Emphasis: A principle of design in which one element or a combination of elements create more attention than anything else in a composition.

• Focal point: The area within a composition which the emphasis is greatest and where the eye of the viewer continually comes to rest.

Page 43: Elements of Art

Focal Point????

Page 44: Elements of Art

• Variety: A principle of design concerned with the inclusion of differences in the elements of a composition to offset unity and add interest to an artwork.

Page 45: Elements of Art

• Unity: A principle of design related to the sense of wholeness that results from the successful combination of the component elements in an artwork.

Page 46: Elements of Art

Media

Page 47: Elements of Art

• Medium: The materials such as oil, watercolor etc. , used to create an artwork or category of art such as drawing, painting, or sculpture.

• Media…plural for medium, more than one.

Page 48: Elements of Art

Two dimensional art media

• Painting: artwork made of colored powders mixed with a liquid. Some media include; watercolor, tempera, oil, acrylic and fresco.

Page 49: Elements of Art

• Watercolor: transparent water-based paint that uses gum Arabic as a binder.

• Tempera: A technique of painting in which water-based paint is mixed or tempered with egg yolk.

• Oil painting: Slow drying paint made when pigments are mixed with an oil; usually opaque and used on canvas.

• Acrylic paint: A synthetic paint medium in which pigments are mixed with acrylic , a plastic emulsion that acts as a vehicle and a binder.

Page 50: Elements of Art

• Fabric: a material produced by interlocking horizontal and vertical threads.

• Yarn: A material produced by twisting fibers of animal, plant, or synthetic sources, used to make fiber art.

Page 51: Elements of Art

• Ink: A two-dimensional medium of pigment mixed with water and chemicals to be used for drawing.

Page 52: Elements of Art

• Pastel: pigments pressed into sticks and used as a dry medium on paper. Sometimes referred to as hard or soft chalk pastels.

• Oil pastels: a media similar to chalk pastels but with more brilliant color and an oil base that makes it stick to the surface.

• Chalk: pigments mixed with gum and pressed into a stick form and used as crayons.

Page 53: Elements of Art

• Fiber art: A type of art using fibers, yarn and fabric as the medium tom create tactile forms and images through surface design, weaving, and construction techniques.

Page 54: Elements of Art

• Photography: the art, craft, and science of capturing optical images on light-sensitive surfaces.

Page 55: Elements of Art

• WWII famous kiss Dorothea Lange: Migrant Mother

Page 56: Elements of Art

Computer generated art

• Any visual expression created with a computer.

Page 57: Elements of Art

Three dimensional art media• Clay: earth mixed with water so that it can be

shaped and fired (in a kiln) to create permanent artwork.

Page 58: Elements of Art

• Wood: A natural material used to make sculpture using the subtractive process , although some wood sculptures can be constructed by adding precut pieces of wood.

Page 59: Elements of Art

• Glass: An art medium made of silicone and other trace elements that can be formed when hot or used in mosaics and stained glass windows when cool.

Page 60: Elements of Art

Mosaic

Page 61: Elements of Art

• Metal: three-dimensional media used to make sculpture e.g.; bronze, copper, steel, tin, aluminum.

Page 62: Elements of Art

• Stone: A natural material used to make sculpture such as limestone, marble, soapstone, jade, etc. Used in subtractive process.

Page 64: Elements of Art

Art Processes

Page 65: Elements of Art

• Drawing: A two-dimensional artwork containing marks made with a dry medium such as pencil or crayon.

• Painting: A two-dimensional art process made with wet media such as tempera, oil or watercolor.

Page 66: Elements of Art

Two dimensional

• Fiber art: a type of art using fibers, yarn, and fabric as the medium to create tactile forms and images through surface design, weaving, and construction techniques.

• Examples of fiber art: fabric printing, stamping, batik( a method of dyeing cloth by using wax), tie-dye.

Page 67: Elements of Art

• Printmaking: a two-dimensional art process of reproducing image on a flat surface; three types are: relief(linoleum, wood), intaglio (etching, engraving) and stencil (silkscreen).

• Photography

Page 68: Elements of Art

Three-dimensional• Textiles: artworks

that are created from natural or man made fibers. Weaving, basketry, stitchery, and knitting are just a few of the processes involved in textile design.

Page 69: Elements of Art

• Fiber art can be three dimensional as well

• Ceramics: the process of creating functional and nonfunctional art forms out of clay.

Page 70: Elements of Art

• Sculpture: an art process of modeling, carving, or joining materials into a three dimensional form.

Page 71: Elements of Art

• Architecture: three-dimensional art form that encompasses designing/planning buildings, cities, landscapes, and bridges.

Page 72: Elements of Art

Subject Matter

• Subject matter: iconography or what the artwork is about, such as portrait, landscape, still life, nonobjective.

Page 73: Elements of Art

• Representational artwork: artworks who primary purpose is to depict the visual appearance.

• Examples: landscapes, portrait, still life

Page 74: Elements of Art

• Nonrepresentational: (nonobjective) artwork that contains no recognizable objects or forms but sometimes uses the elements of art as subject matter.

• Examples: abstract, nonobjective
