Study Notes
Value
- Describes the relative lightness or darkness in an image.
- Refers to the spectrum of grays that exist between black and white.
- Essential for artists to create depth and contrast in their work.
Color
- One of the most difficult elements of art to define.
- Perception of color is based on human interpretation, using descriptive words like 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 through touch and sight.
- Can be inherent in the artist's materials or created through surface manipulation.
- Also achieved through illusionistic rendering, mimicking textures such as smooth silk or rough tree bark.
Space
- Describes the area around or within the elements of a work of art, termed by Frank Lloyd Wright as "the breath of art."
- Artists manipulate space using lines, shapes, forms, and colors.
- Involves two types:
- Positive space - the area occupied by the subject.
- Negative space - the area surrounding or between subjects.
Time and Motion
- Crucial elements in art that involve change and movement.
- Motion can occur over time and distance, contributing to the artwork's dynamic quality.
- Kinetic art incorporates actual movement, while implied motion creates the illusion of movement within a static piece.
