    Study Notes

    Elements of Art

    • Visual tools used by artists to create art include line, shape, color, value, texture, space, and form.

    Line

    • Defines as a mark with length and direction created by a moving point across a surface.

    Types of Line

    • Can be categorized into vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, thick, thin, dotted, spiral, swirly, and loopy.

    Shape

    • A flat figure formed when lines meet to enclose a space.

    Types of Shape

    • Common shapes include circle, square, rectangle, oval, diamond, triangle, and hexagon.

    Color

    • Another term for hue; names colors like yellow, blue-violet, and green based on light wavelengths reflecting back to the eyes.

    Texture

    • Describes a surface's feel (actual texture) or appearance (implied texture), covering qualities like smoothness, roughness, and softness.

    Form

    • Refers to any three-dimensional object (e.g., cube, sphere, pyramid, cylinder), measurable by height, width, and depth.

    Space

    • Encompasses the empty areas around, above, below, or within an object.

    Value

    • Indicates the lightness or darkness of a surface, affecting perceived color intensity.

    Principles of Design

    • Guidelines for organizing the elements of art. Key principles include pattern, emphasis, balance, proportion (scale), unity, movement, rhythm, repetition, contrast, and harmony.

    Repetition

    • Involves repeating an element of art such as line, shape, color, form, texture, or value in a consistent manner throughout a composition.

    Pattern

    • Creation of a repeating texture, line, shape, or color in an artwork.

    Balance

    • Arrangement of artwork parts to create a sense of equal weight or interest, categorized as symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.

    Proportion

    • Relates to the scale of objects, evaluating their size, amount, or degree relative to one another.

    Unity

    • A principle indicating that all parts of a design work together cohesively, fostering a sense of wholeness.

    Movement

    • A combination of elements that convey a sense of action or implied motion within a composition.

    Contrast

    • Highlights differences between elements like color, texture, value, and shape, exemplified by stark opposites like rough vs. smooth or black vs. white.

    Harmony

    • The pleasing combination of similar elements in art, creating an aesthetically agreeable appearance.

    Rhythm

    • Represents a visual tempo or beat characterized by alternating, regular, flowing, or gradual patterns.

    Composition

    • An ordered arrangement of elements in art, following design principles for effective visual organization.

    Positive Space

    • Refers to the actual objects within a work of art.

    Negative Space

    • The background area surrounding the objects, often termed as the space that complements positive space.

    Symmetrical Balance

    • Achieved through duplication of elements on either side of a composition, producing identical halves.

    Asymmetrical Balance

    • A visual balance where one side differs from the other while still maintaining overall equilibrium.
