    Study Notes

    Art Elements

    Line

    • A continuous mark made on a surface by a drawing tool
    • Can vary in width, length, direction, and curvature
    • Can be implicit (implied) or explicit (actual)

    Shape

    • A self-contained area with height, width, and depth
    • Can be geometric (e.g., circle, square) or organic (e.g., free-form)
    • Can be positive (figure) or negative (ground)

    Form

    • A three-dimensional volume created by lines, shapes, and colors
    • Can be realistic or abstract
    • Can have texture, value, and color

    Value

    • The lightness or darkness of a color or object
    • Can range from black (0% light) to white (100% light)
    • Can create contrast, hierarchy, and mood

    Color

    • The property of an object that is perceived by the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light
    • Has three properties: hue, saturation, and value
    • Can evoke emotions and convey meaning

    Texture

    • The surface quality or "feel" of an object or material
    • Can be tactile (physical) or visual
    • Can add depth, interest, and tactility to a work of art

    Art Principles

    Balance

    • The distribution of visual elements to create a sense of stability and harmony
    • Can be achieved through symmetry, asymmetry, or visual weight

    Proportion

    • The relationship between the size of different elements in a composition
    • Can create harmony, contrast, or visual interest

    Emphasis

    • The focal point or center of interest in a composition
    • Can be created through size, color, value, or placement

    Movement

    • The sense of energy, direction, or flow in a composition
    • Can be created through lines, shapes, and colors

    Pattern

    • The repetition of similar elements, such as shapes or colors
    • Can create rhythm, unity, and visual interest

    Unity

    • The sense of oneness or harmony in a composition
    • Can be achieved through similarity, proximity, or continuity of elements

    Proportion

    • The relationship between the size of different elements in a composition, creating harmony, contrast, or visual interest
    • Can affect the overall aesthetic and impact of a piece

    Emphasis

    • The focal point or center of interest in a composition, created through size, color, value, or placement
    • Can guide the viewer's attention and create contrast
