Study Notes
Color
- Considered the most challenging element of art to define precisely.
- Perceived through descriptive words associated with different hues, such as red, blue, and yellow.
- Color theory categorizes and explains the qualities, behaviors, and effects of color for visual artists.
Texture
- Refers to the surface characteristics of materials, perceived by touch and sight.
- Can be inherent in the materials used or created through manipulation of surfaces.
- Implicit texture can be illustrated by realistic depictions of materials, like smooth silk or rough tree bark.
Space
- Describes the area surrounding or within components of art, referred to as "the breath of art" by Frank Lloyd Wright.
- Manipulated through the strategic placement of lines, shapes, forms, and colors.
- Includes two types:
- Positive space: the area occupied by the subject.
- Negative space: the area surrounding or between subjects.
Time and Motion
- Essential elements in art that involve change and movement over time and distance.
- Actual movement in art is termed Kinetic art.
- Illusory movements are referred to as implied motion.
Principles of Design
- Serve as visual strategies alongside elements of art to create effective artwork.
- Help clarify the artist’s message and provide compositional guidelines.
- Key principles include:
- Unity: Achieving cohesiveness and harmony among composition elements.
- Variety: Incorporating contrast and diversity to create interest and spontaneity.
- Emphasis: Highlighting particular areas to capture viewer attention.
- Focal Point: The primary point of interest in a piece of art.
- Balance: Distribution of visual weight for stability and equilibrium in design.
- Rhythm: Comparable to musical beat; involves patterns, movements, and flow.
- Scale: Measurement of size relative to human dimensions.
- Proportion: Comparative size of elements relative to each other or the entire work.
Artistic Freedom
- While applying elements and principles enhances artwork and message clarity, artistic creativity remains paramount.
- There is no singular "perfect" method for creating art; effectiveness is subject to individual artistic vision.
