• Elements of art


  Building blocks of art that help the artist communicate
• Seven basic elements of art

  • Line
  • Shape
  • Form
  • Space
  • Color
  • Texture
  • Value
• Line

  Marks moving in a space between two points, has length and direction
• Types of lines


  • Vertical
  • Horizontal
  • Diagonal
  • Broken
• Vertical line


  Signifies ambition and strength
• Horizontal line


  Signifies rest and peace
• Diagonal line


  Signifies dynamic action or movement, conflict, or stress
• Broken lines


  Suggest lines that are hidden from the viewer
• Shape


  An area with boundaries identified or drawn using lines, has height and width
• Classifications of shape


  • Organic
  • Geometric
• Organic shape


  Shape based on natural or living forms
• Geometric shape


  Shape based on measured forms, man-made
• Form


  A three-dimensional object that can be held and walked around, has length, width and height
• 3D objects


  • Cube
  • Cylinder
  • Sphere
• Space


  The artist's use of the area within the picture plane
• Kinds of space


  • Positive
  • Negative
  • Three-dimensional
• Positive space


  The space occupied by the primary objects
• Negative space


  The area around the primary objects in a work of art
• Three-dimensional space


  Can be simulated through a variety of techniques such as shading
• Color


  A property of light, as it is reflected off the object, has three properties: hue, value, and saturation
• Hue


  The basic or pure color, represented in the color wheel
• Primary colors


  • Red
  • Blue
  • Yellow
• Secondary colors


  • Violet
  • Orange
  • Green
• Tertiary colors


  • Red-Orange
  • Blue-Violet
  • Blue-Green
  • Yellow-Green
  • Yellow-Orange
  • Red-Orange
• Value


  The lightness and darkness of color
• Tint


  A light color resulting from adding white to a hue
• Shade


  A dark color resulting from adding black to a hue
• Saturation


  How strong or weak a color is (high saturation being strong)
• Color schemes


  • Monochromatic
  • Analogous
  • Complementary
  • Split-Complementary
  • Triadic
  • Tetradic
• Monochromatic color scheme


  Using the same hue but different gradients of value
• Analogous color scheme


  Using three or four adjacent colors in the color wheel
• Complementary color scheme


  Using a color and its complement (opposite on the color wheel)
• Split-complementary color scheme


  Using the two colors adjacent to the complement of the first color
• Triadic color scheme


  Using three colors that are equal with each other
• Tetradic color scheme


  Also known as double complement, using two pairs of complement colors
• Value


  Refers to the lightness or darkness of an area, evident in creating shadows for a two-dimensional object to give illusion of depth
• Texture


  Refers to the feel or appearance of a surface, can be actual or implied
• Principles of art


  • Balance
  • Harmony
  • Scale and Proportion
  • Movement
  • Emphasis
  • Rhythm
  • Contrast
  • Repetition
  • Unity
  • Variety
  • Pattern
• Balance


  The distribution of the visual elements in view of their placement in relation to each other
• Forms of balance


  • Symmetrical
  • Asymmetrical
  • Radial
