  1. Line Color Texture Value Shape Form Space Balance Movement Emphasis Pattern (repetition) Unity (compare) Variety (contrast) Rhythm Elements and Principles of Art

  2. Elements • Line • Color • Texture • Value • Shape • Form • Space

  3. Line I. a continuous mark, made by a moving point, on a surface, or in space A. Actual - Fully drawn lines or Implied - Lines that are ‘hinted’ at B. Directional Vertical – Up and down Horizontal – Side to side, like the horizon Diagonal – Any line that is not vertical or horizontal. C. Descriptive Adjectives and Adverbs

  4. The Obvious STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL VERTICAL DIAGONAL

  5. Barnett Newman, Dionysius, 1944, 67x49in.

  6. Barnett Newman, Yellow Painting, 1949

  7. Diego Rivera, The Flower Carrier, 1935, 48x48 in. Note lines implied by directional gazes

  8. Hokusai, KatsushikaThe Great Wave Off KanagawaFrom "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"1823-29Color woodcut10 x 15 in.

  9. Clyfford Still, 1957, No.1

  10. THE UPSTAIRSCharles Sheeler (American, b.1883, d.1965)1938oil on canvas19 1/2 x 12 3/4 in. (49.5 x 32.4 cm) Lines create planes; planes suggest volume

  11. Color I. produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. II. All hues on the color spectrum, even hues not on the spectrum such as black and white. A. Hue - the name we give to a color (red, yellow, etc.).

  12. B. Intensity - the strength and vividness of the color. Describe the color blue as (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (grayed). C. Value-light or darkness of a color

  13. PRIMARY & secondary RED PURPLE BLUE GREEN YELLOW ORANGE

  14. COLOR WHEEL HUE

  15. Robert Delaunay, Circular Forms, c. 1912

  16. Texture Actual texture- the way something actually feels Implied texture- the way something appears to feel visually

  17. Meret Oppenheim, Fur covered cup, saucer, and spoon, 1936 (a.k.a. The Object)

  18. VAN GOGH, VincentThe Starry Night1889, Oil on canvas, 29 x 36 1/4 in p. 383

  19. Value IV. The lightness or darkness of a color. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colors A. Tint - when white is added to a pure hue B. Shade - when black is added to a pure hue C. Tone – when white AND black are added to a color

  20. Shape A. Space that is contained within edges B. Organic-irregular – An irregular 2D enclosed area, like that which might be found in nature. B. Geometric-has a strict pattern – 2D enclosed area created by exact mathematical law.

  21. Geometric Shapes:

  22. Organic Shapes

  23. Form A. A 3D space B. Organic – An irregular 3D enclosed area, like that which might be found in nature. C. Geometric– 3D enclosed area that has a strict pattern

  24. Organic Forms

  25. VOLUME LINE  SHAPE  VOLUME Implied in painting; actual in sculpture

  26. What is the form of this can of soup by Andy Warhol?

  27. Space A. The appearance of depth in art B. Actual – the real distance between or around areas or components within of a piece. C. Implied/illusionary - the appearance of space or depth within a work of art. D. Positive – Solid areas or objects E. Negative – ‘air’ around solid objects, space where other things are not present

  28. Space

  29. Principles • Balance • Movement • Emphasis • Pattern (repetition) • Unity (compare) • Variety (contrast) • Rhythm

  30. Balance the ways in which the elements (lines, shapes, etc.) of a piece are arranged Symmetrical - elements are given equal "weight" from an imaginary line in the middle of a piece. Near symmetry- same weight…not the same stuff. Asymmetrical - occurs when elements are placed unevenly in a piece, but work together to produce harmony overall.

  31. How is this photograph balanced? Is it symmetrical, near symmetrical, or asymmetrical?

  32. Movement a visual flow through the composition as you move from object to object by way of placement and position Actual – an object that has true motion. Implied - the suggestion of motion in a design.

  33. Toulouse Lautrec, Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero

  34. Emphasis • What stands out in the art and what draws the viewer’s attention in.

  35. Pattern(Repetition) the repetition of an element (or elements) in a work

  36. Unity(Compare) • How an artworks are similar or alike or how they go together.

  37. Variety(Contrast) • How things are different. This creates visual interest. High contrast= VERY different Low contrast= a little different

  38. Rhythm • Rhythm, in art, is a visual beat.
