    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.
