Study Notes
Elements of Art
- Line: A continuous mark made on a surface, varying in width and direction. It can be straight, curved, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or implied.
- Shape: A two-dimensional area enclosed by lines or edges. Shapes can be geometric or organic in form.
- Form: Refers to three-dimensional objects that possess volume and thickness, often creating perspective in artwork.
- Value: The lightness or darkness of a color, essential in creating contrast, emphasis, and perceived depth.
- Texture: The surface quality of an object, which can be both seen and felt, contributing to the overall experience of the artwork.
- Color: Known as hue, it adds mood and interest. Its three properties are hue (color name), intensity (brightness), and value (lightness/darkness).
- Space: Refers to the area within, around, or between objects, which can be positive (the object itself) or negative (surrounding space). Perspective gives an illusion of depth.
Principles of Art
- Pattern: Involves the visual arrangement of elements in a repetitive form or intelligible sequence.
- Balance: The distribution of visual weight in artwork, categorized into:
- Symmetrical Balance: Identical mirror images on both sides.
- Asymmetrical Balance: Different elements that still create a sense of balance.
- Radial Balance: Elements radiate from a central point.
- Emphasis: Techniques to draw attention to the main subject or focal point in artwork, achievable through contrast, placement, color, or size. For example, in Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper," Jesus is emphasized through placement and converging lines.
