Elements of Visual Art:
Line
Shape and Mass
Color
Value
Texture
Space
Time and Motion
Line
: Refers to a prolongation of a point, or mark on a surface.
Solid Lines
: can be used in order to define form
broken lines
: are typically used to suggest
hidden forms
Lines
: most critical element, as it is the start of everything
Lines
: can be used to suggest dimensions and guide visual movement
5 types of Lines:
Vertical Lines
: from up to down or vice versa
Horizontal Lines
: from left to right or vise versa
Diagonal Lines
: Slanted Lines
Zig-zag Lines
: series of diagonal lines which can be mixed with straight lines
Curved Lines
: can be curly or wavey or bendy
Shape and Mass
: refers to an area with boundaries drawn or identified using lines.
Shape
: can either be 2D or 3D
2D
: has no mass and volume
3D
: has mass and volume
Types of shapes:
Organic Shapes
Geometric Shapes
Organic Shapes
: based on natural or living forms and can be irregular or rounded.
Geometric Shape
: Based on measured forms which can be 2D or 3D
Variations of lines:
Length
: how long or short the line is
Width
: how thick or thin the line is
Texture
: how smooth or rough the line is
Style
: how straight or curved the line is
Texture
: based on the texture of the material used to draw
Color
: refers to the perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way various wavelengths of light are reflected.
Red
: longest wavelength
Violet
: shortest wavelength
Properties of Color:
Hue
Value
Saturation
Hue
: refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in the color wheel.
Value
: refers to the lightness and darkness of color.
Saturation
: refers to the brightness and dullness of color. It is also refers to as purity of the color.
Color Wheel
: contains primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
Color Scheme
: Used by to determine what color combination to use
Types of color schemes:
Monochromatic color scheme
Analogous color scheme
Complementary color scheme
Split Complementary color scheme
Triadic color scheme
Tetradic color scheme
Monochromatic
: This color scheme involves using the same hue but with different gradients of value.
Analogous
: entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the wheel.
Complementary
: Use of a color and its complement or opposite color
Split Complementary
: this scheme uses the two colors adjacent to the complement. is a close relative to the complementary color scheme
Triadic
: uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other.
Tetradic
: also known as
double complementary
color scheme, this uses two pairs of complementary colors.
Value
: This element refers to the lightness and darkness of an area.
Value
: is evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional object to give an illusion of depth.
Value
: Evident in shadow arts
Texture
: Refers to the feel or appearance of a surface
classes of texture:
Actual Texture
: can be felt and is tangible, based on the material
Implied Texture
: cannot be felt and can be exhibited
Space
: Are occupied by the subject
two types of perspective:
Atmospheric Perspective
Linear Perspective
Atmospheric Perspective
: Utilizes the properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance.
