• Elements of Art


  Commonly used group of aspects of a work of art used in teaching and analysis
• Elements of Art


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


  The most basic element of art, has a beginning and an end
• Types of Line


  • Geometric
  • Organic
• Shape


  When a line meets up to enclose a space, a 2-dimensional form is created
• Types of Shapes


  • Geometric
  • Organic
• Form


  The next step up from shape, considered 3D as it encloses volume (height, width and depth)
• Types of Forms


  • Geometric
  • Organic
• Space


  What lies between, around or within an object
• Types of Space


  • Positive
  • Negative
• Overlapping


  • When an object is drawn or painted on top of another object, the viewer's eye interprets this as one object being in front of another implying there must be a space between them
• Placement


  • Objects higher up in the picture frame will seem to the viewer's eye to be further away than objects placed low down in the picture frame
• Size


  • Smaller objects look as if they are further away than larger objects
• Details


  • The further away an object, the less detail is visible to the viewer
• Color


  Described by its hue, arranged on a color wheel (primary, secondary & tertiary), has intensity called chroma (also known as saturation, brightness or purity)
• Value


  How light or dark something is, directly related to contrast, determines how to show 3-dimensional forms in a 2-dimensional surface
• Value Scale


  • Low-key
  • High-key
• Texture


  The quality of a surface or the way any work of art is represented, can be created using lines and shading
• Types of Texture


  • Real
  • Implied
• Principles of art


  How the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help convey the artist's intent
• Visual weight


  The visual weight of the elements of the composition
• Types of balance


  • Symmetrical
  • Asymmetrical
  • Radial
• Symmetrical balance


  Both sides of the composition have the same elements in the same position
• Asymmetrical balance


  The composition is balanced due to the contrast of any element of arts
• Radial balance


  Elements are equally spaced around a central point
• Contrast


  The difference between elements of art in a composition, such that each element is made stronger in relation to the other, e.g. complementary colors placed side by side
• Dominance


  When the artist creates an area of the composition that is visually dominant and commands the viewer's attention
• Movement


  Creates illusion of action or physical change in an artwork, using elements of art to move the viewer's eye around and within the image
• Rhythm


  The uniform repetition of any of the elements of art or any combination (line, shapes, colors or motifs)
• Types of rhythm


  • Regular
  • Random
  • Flowing
  • Alternating
  • Progressive
• Regular rhythm


  A predictable repetition of one or more elements in a regular pattern, creating a sense of stability and order
• Random rhythm


  An irregular placement of one or more elements, creating a sense of spontaneity, surprise, and energy
• Flowing rhythm


  The continuous movement of one or more elements in a smooth, organic manner, creating a sense of harmony, fluidity, and grace
• Alternating rhythm


  When two or more different elements are repeated in a predictable sequence, creating a sense of contrast, variation, and balance
• Progressive rhythm


  Characterized by gradual changes of one or multiple characteristics of the repeated elements, creating a sense of growth, development, and transformation
• Harmony


  The arrangements of elements to give the viewer a feeling that all parts of the design or piece form a coherent whole, where all sections of the pattern make other sections feel complete
• Renaissance Period


  Spanning from 1400 to 1600, marked by a revival of art and culture, drawing inspiration from Greek tradition
• Renaissance Period


  • Humanity exploring various aspects of human life such as character, mind and body capabilities, social relationships, economic conditions, and political involvement
  • Encouraged intellectual exchanges, exploration, and experimentation
  • Art and culture spread globally through trade and conquest
• Humanism


  The "age of humanism" during the Renaissance period
• Elements of art


  • Line, shape, form, texture, color, space, movement
