  • Colors: characteristics of human visual perception described through color categories
  • Primary Colors: Red, Blue, Yellow
  • Secondary Colors: Green, Violet, Orange
  • Tertiary Colors: Yellow Green, Blue Green, Red Violet, Blue Violet, Red Orange, Yellow Orange
• Lines: continuous marks made on a surface by a moving point, the most important element in art
• Shape: enclosed space defined by other elements of art, may appear as two or three-dimensional objects
• Form: three-dimensional element of art that encloses volume, examples include cubes, spheres, and cylinders
• Space: refers to the distance or area between, around, above, or within things
• Texture: surface quality or "feel" of an object, can be actual (felt) or simulated (implied by the artist)
• Value: describes the lightness or darkness of color, necessary to express volume
• Principles of Art:

  • Harmony: achieved when all art elements interact well, using similar shapes, lines, or colors
  • Variety: accomplished by using different lines, shapes, and colors within an artwork
  • Balance: distribution of visual weight throughout a composition, can be symmetrical or asymmetrical
  • Movements: how the eye moves throughout a work of art, not the depiction of movement within the artwork
  • Rhythm: use of visual repetition within a work of art to create energy and interest, also known as pattern
  • Emphasis: creating a focal point within a composition to draw the viewer's eye
• Developmental Stages of Arts:

  • Children learn basic motor skills and enjoy moving to make marks
  • Start to notice the relationship of movements and marks on a page
  • Attempt to portray something, reflecting their feelings through colors
  • Depict stories and develop a specific way of illustrating subjects
  • Emphasize parts of the picture that are important to them
  • Begin drawing gendered materials and go through a period of critical judgment towards their work
  • Show greater visual awareness of their surroundings, sometimes leading to a crisis when trying to depict realism
• Visual Arts involve art genres perceived by the eye and mind, including unmoving and moving images

  
• Three main types of techniques in Visual Arts:

  • Representational Art: shows actual objects or subjects from nature or reality
  • Abstract Art: presents subjects from reality and nature in a different way than seen in everyday life
  • Non-Objective Art: uses elements of art and principles for design but does not represent or depict a person, place, or thing in the natural world
• Groups of Visual Art include Installation Art, Public Art, Mixed Media Art, Photography, and Digital Art
• Installation Art is an art form consisting of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform interior or exterior spaces
• Installation Art can be composed of several genres like painting, sculpture, and mediums such as ready-mades, found objects, drawing, and text creatively formed by the artist
• Types of Installation Art:

  • Technology-Aided Installation: consists of an installation art piece on which light, video, or film is projected
  • Performance-Installation Art: combined with theatre and dance, with light and sound as part of the design
  • Conceptual Installation Art: places emphasis on an idea or concept rather than a tangible object
  • Interactive Installation Art: allows the viewer to touch, walk in or through, listen to, or interact with the installation piece
  • Environmental Installation Art: encompasses ecological concerns and celebrates the artist's connection with nature and the environment
• In Installation Art, the viewer's role is different from that of the artist, requiring active engagement with the artwork
• A guide to appreciating Installation Art includes analyzing the form, materials, and technique employed in the art production, as well as analyzing the social and human conditions that shaped the artist's thinking and influenced their style
