Elements of Art
- Line: One-dimensional mark varying in width, direction, and length; represents a path made by a moving point.
- Color: Perceived through light reflection; characterized by hue (color name), intensity (strength), and value (lightness/darkness).
- Texture: Represents surface quality, can be actual (real feel) or implied (appearance of feel).
- Value: Refers to the lightness and darkness of a surface, essential in creating depth.
- Shape: Two-dimensional space defined by length and height; can be geometric (mathematical) or organic (natural).
- Space: Creates the illusion of depth; includes positive and negative spaces around and within objects.
- Form: Three-dimensional shape with length, width, and height; can be viewed from various angles and occupies physical space.
Principles of Design
- Emphasis: Establishes a focal point, guiding the viewer's attention to particular areas first.
- Proportion: Relates to the size and placement of elements in relation to each other and the whole artwork.
- Movement: Refers to the way the eye travels through the artwork, directing viewers from one part to another.
- Contrast: Highlights differences in elements, often using variations in value, size, and color to create visual interest.
- Unity: Achieved when all elements collectively form a balanced, harmonious whole; variety enhances interest.
- Balance: Distribution of visual weight; types include symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance.
- Rhythm: Creates a visual beat through the repetition of elements or patterns, fostering interest and consistency.
- Pattern: Decorative repetition of elements such as shapes or colors to enhance visual appeal.
