    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.
