Study Notes
Elements of Art
- The seven elements are line, shape, space, value, form, texture, and color; fundamental for creating art.
Line
- A mark spanning between two points; can be straight, curved, zig-zagged, or dotted.
- Characteristics include width, direction, and length.
Shape
- Defined as a flat area of enclosed space, categorized as either geometric or organic.
Geometric Shapes
- Mathematical in nature with clear sides; includes basic shapes like squares, circles, and triangles.
- Often symmetrical and can form complex patterns in art.
Organic Shapes
- Characterized by less-defined, flowing edges; shapes are often unpredictable.
- Can exhibit both symmetry and asymmetry.
Tone
- Refers to the lightness or darkness of an area; differs from highlights.
- Influenced by the object's surface characteristics and its contrast with the background.
Color
- Produced when light reflects off an object; composed of three properties: hue, intensity, and value.
Space
- Represents the illusion of depth on a flat surface; encompasses background, foreground, and middle ground.
- Relates to distances around, between, and within objects.
Cube
- A three-dimensional geometric figure with six equal square faces.
2D (Two Dimensional)
- Flat artwork that may suggest depth; can be purely abstract or provide a perspective illusion.
3D (Three Dimensional)
- Sculptural form with depth, width, and height, creating physical presence.
Form
- In 2D art, it creates the illusion of space and volume; in 3D, it forms the basis of sculpture.
- Achieved through techniques like perspective, shading, or modeling.
Stroke
- Another term for a line within artistic contexts.
Value
- Describes the lightness or darkness of a color; applicable in grayscale as well.
Hue
- The pure form of a color; describes colors before any shades or tints are applied.
Intensity
- Refers to the vividness or saturation of a color; indicates a color's purity without alteration.
Shade
- A darker version of a color created by adding black or darker hues.
Positive and Negative Space
- Positive space is occupied by subjects or objects in artwork.
- Negative space refers to the empty areas around or within the subjects.
Perspective
- A method of depicting three-dimensional images on a flat surface to convey depth visually.
Painting
- The practice of applying pigment to surfaces like canvas, creating images through color application.
Pigment
- A substance that provides color to materials and objects in art.
Visual Arts
- Includes diverse forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, and video.
