Study Notes
Theater Arts Stage
- Encompasses stage art production, photography, film, and camera recording

Elements of Art
- 7 basic components of art-making
- Impossible to create art without using at least one of these elements
- Essential for artists to intelligently use these elements
Elements of Art: Shape
- Encloses a 2D area
- Can be geometric or organic
- 3D shape is the three-dimensional analog of shape
Elements of Art: Form
- 2 types: Organic and Geometric
- Organic forms are naturally occurring, irregular, and asymmetrical
- Geometric forms correspond to named regular shapes
Elements of Art: Line
- Foundation of all drawing
- Can be used in many different ways
- Can be circular, dancing, or in a specific system of beliefs
Elements of Art: Value
- Refers to the lightness or darkness of a color
- 2 ways to use value: representational and non-representational
- Shade and tint refer to value changes in colors
Elements of Art: Space
- Refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece
- Can be positive, negative, open, closed, shallow, or deep
- Can be 2D or 3D
Elements of Art: Texture
- Describes the way a 3D work feels when touched
- In 2D work, it refers to the visual "feel" of a piece
- Appeals to our sense of touch, evoking feelings of pleasure, discomfort, or familiarity
Perspective
- Deals with the effect of distance on the appearance of objects
- 2 kinds: Linear Perspective and Aerial Perspective
- Linear Perspective uses converging lines and direction of lines to represent distance
- Aerial Perspective uses gradations of tone or color to represent relative distances
