    eLEMENTS

    OF
    art
    The elements of art are the tools that artist use
    to make an art. They are the basic foundation
    of a good composition.

    Line Shape Texture


    Color Space Form
    LINE
    A line is a path that a point takes
    through space.
     Lines can be thick, thin, dotted or
    solid.
     They can make straight
    movements, zig-zags, waves or curls.
     They may be horizontal, vertical,
    diagonal or curve lines.
    Diagonal lines
    Diagonal line suggest action, life and
    movement.
    They give animation to any composition in
    which they appear.
    Almost every object in action assume
    diagonal line.
    A running person makes a diagonal line
    with his body and legs. The degree of
    action is shown by the angle of the
    diagonal.
    COLOR
     Has the most aesthetic appeal of all the elements of
    visual arts.
     Delight in color is a universal human characteristics
     Is a property of light
     The light of the sun contains all the colors of the
    spectrum: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and
    red.
    colors
    and
    their
    implications
    o RED – romantic love and passion, symbolizes courage, beauty, respect,
    admiration
    oPINK – feminine elegance, class and refinement
    olight – express sympathy, grace and gentility
    odeep – warmth and gratitude
    o WHITE – exudes truth, reverence, unconditional love, pure intentions
    oYELLOW – care and friendship, joy, a caring spirit, warmth and
    appreciation
    o ORANGE – desire and enthusiasm
    o PURPLE
    odeep – regal, royal vibe
    o medium toned – desire, respect and love at first sight
    o light – gentler, more spiritual connotation
    ANALOGOUS/ADJACENT – USES THREE OR MORE COLORS THAT
    SIT NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER ON THE COLOR WHEEL
    Complementary – uses colors opposite of each
    other in the color wheel
    Split complementary – uses one root color plus the two
    colors that are on either side of the root colors complement
    Triadic/Triad - uses three colors that are evenly
    spaced around the color wheel
    Tetrad(rectangular) – uses 2 base hues which are 1 color apart and
    their complements.
    Other color
    harmonies
    Analogous complementary – uses 3 analogous colors,
    plus the complement of the middle analogous color.
    Square – uses four colors evenly spaced around
    the color wheel
    TEXTURE
    During the 19th to 20th centuries, a higher premium was
    placed on very smooth surfaces and forms. A group of
    painters including Cezzane, Picasso and others emphasized
    texture by purposely making portions of the painting rough.
    Texture is being used by sculptors, architecture, paintings
    and any other forms of art.
    SPACE
     Refers to distances or areas around, between or
    within components of a piece.
     Space can be positive or negative.
     Sometimes space is not actually within a piece,
    but the illusion of it
    EXAMPLE OF SPACE

    SPACE POSITIVE SPACE NEGATIVE SPACE


    SHAPE
     is a flat, two dimensional
    area with height and width.
     It can be:
    ◦ geometric shapes
    ◦ organic shapes
    Geometric Shapes
    Were originally formed mechanically
    using a ruler or compass. However
    today, even the most complex
    geometric forms can be easily created
    using digital imaging software.
    In art they tend to be used to convey
    the idea of rigidity, structure, pattern,
    perspective and 3 dimensional form.
    Organic shapes
    Are usually natural, irregular and freeform
    in character.
    They are associated with anatomical forms
    such as heart and kidney shapes.
    Organic shapes can convey a sense of
    formation and development, and suggest
    qualities such as softness, sensuality,
    flexibility and fluidity.
    FORM
     Applies to the over-all design of a work of art.
     Form consists of size and volume.
     Includes height, width and depth.
     Form generally refers to sculpture, 3D design and architecture
    but may also relate to the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface.
     Good architecture allows outward forms to be governed by
    what goes on inside.
    Form may be created by the forming of two or
    more shapes or as three-dimensional shape.
    It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color.
    ACTIVITY 5
    Create form in a 2d surface.
    Show texture in a 2d surface.
