Study Notes
Line
- A line is a mark made by a moving point.
- Can be straight, curved, thick, thin, or textured.
- Used to create boundaries, define shapes, or imply movement.
- Horizontal lines suggest calmness, rest, or stability.
- Vertical lines convey strength, stability, or power.
- Diagonal lines indicate movement, action, or instability.
- Curved lines suggest grace, flow, or softness.
- Van Gogh's "Starry Night" uses swirling lines to depict dynamic movement in the sky.
Shape
- A shape is a flat, enclosed area created by lines or color changes.
- Has only height and width (2D).
-
Categories of Shape:
- Geometric: Precise and regular shapes (e.g., circles, squares, triangles).
- Organic: Irregular, free-form shapes (e.g., clouds, leaves).
- Shapes are often used to create a focal point or balance a composition.
- Henri Matisse's cut-outs are known for their bold, simple shapes in abstract compositions.
Form
- Form refers to objects that are three-dimensional (height, width, and depth) or the illusion of 3D in a 2D artwork.
-
Categories of Form:
- Geometric Forms: Cubes, spheres, cones (e.g., architectural structures).
- Organic Forms: Natural, irregular forms (e.g., rocks, tree trunks).
- Artists use techniques like shading and perspective to create the illusion of form in painting.
- Michelangelo's "David" is a sculpture demonstrating mastery of three-dimensional form.
Color
- Color is perceived when light hits an object and is reflected back to the eye.
- Main properties of color:
- Hue: The color itself, such as red, blue, or yellow.
- Value: The lightness or darkness of a color.
- Intensity/Saturation: The brightness or dullness of a color.
- Color Psychology: The study of how colors influence perceptions, emotions, and behaviors.
Value
- Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color or tone.
- Essential for creating depth and contrast in a composition.
- High value: Light colors, suggesting light, openness, or brightness.

- Can be real (actual texture you can feel) or implied (suggested by the way an artist depicts something).
-
Types of Texture:
- Real Texture: Found in sculptures, textiles, where the surface is physically textured (e.g., rough stone, smooth metal).
- Implied Texture: Created in paintings, drawings, photographs by using shading and detail to suggest texture (e.g., a fur coat drawn realistically).
Space
- Space refers to the distance or area around, between, and within objects in a work of art.
- Positive Space: The subject of the artwork.
- Negative Space: The background or empty areas surrounding the subject.
-
Types of Space:
- Foreground, Midground, Background: Used to create depth in a 2D work.
